| Topic | Are you an honest person? |
| Alexandra_Trent 07/30/17 10:25:36 AM #19 | Hmm.....tough question. I feel as though I need to mention some things about me first. I'm straightforward and I dislike beating around the bush. I am so with family and friends. So in everyday life, in a casual and familial setting, I can be brutally honest. But my honesty does not contain the intention to destroy, hurt or hate. I simply state things for what they are. How ever they choose to interpret that is none of my business. However, that being said, I will not jump in to provide my input if I am not asked to. At my work, I ensure that my paperwork and socialising with colleagues are prim and proper. I do not converse more than I need to; because that tends to lead to information being shared; unwittingly or not. I do not divulge information regarding clients or their data. I also do not gossip; because that just becomes poison. While I do not lie to clients, I am pragmatic. So I steer my clients in the direction I want them to go. So I highlight pros to my proposition. I also inform them of the cons but it's basically one's delivery and ability to handle objections that hooks a client. So, I'm mostly honest (blunt) and consciously make an effort to not lie. But there are always exceptions; white lies for what I believe is the greater good comes to mind. --- "Ladies don't start fights, but they can finish them." -Marie, Aristocats |

| Alexandra_Trent 07/30/17 9:22:08 AM #53 | mastermix3000 posted... @Alexandra_Trent posted...Finance Analyst. Hmm..In the company I work for, I do have portfolios of clients that may be individuals or small businesses. The gist is that we analyse their financial performance (which includes the payment flows of their clients because in this country, a company's financial success is always affected by their own clients and their ability to pay them), streamline processes to ensure that they are cost-effective. And formulate contingency measures for areas that aren't performing well or have financial irregularities. My job requires a people-pleasing personality and sharp attention to details in data. --- "Ladies don't start fights, but they can finish them." -Marie, Aristocats |

SunWuKung420 posted...JazzMasterZero posted...Nade Duck posted...usui88 posted...If he's buying you drinks you could at least throw the dude a handy I mean really "Owing" is the wrong term. You're right; you don't owe anyone anything. However, it's just manners and common courtesy at work here. It's basically just the saying "One good turn deserves another". People use those apps (primarily) to meet others who share the same interests, sexual orientation or to just find friends or someone with whom they might sincerely connect with. You use that as a loophole to get what you want; (and apparently, it's not much. A meal and drinks......) and then leave them in the middle of nowhere. So to answer your original question, although it's not illegal to fool someone (not talking of blatant fraud or mispresentation), it just isn't right. It's not the right thing to do. And that basically says a lot about your character. That's all. --- "Ladies don't start fights, but they can finish them." -Marie, Aristocats |

| Alexandra_Trent 07/23/17 2:29:57 AM #25 | Zeus posted... There's no classy way to out somebody as a cheater. Even when you're 100% in the right, you'll still come out looking like an ass. Just let your friends, family, etc, know how the relationship ended and, if you run into the guy, remind him that he's dating a cheater and a cheetah doesn't change her spots. This. When things end badly, the only thing you can do is mitigate damage and avoid doing things that make you appear bad; because that would just give her ammunition to shoot you with.

| Alexandra_Trent 07/19/17 2:05:28 AM #17 | Hmm...growing up, I wasn't his favourite as I wasn't born male. We are four children; 3 sisters and 1 brother. So, he spent a lot more time with my brother. But now that we're all grown up, I can easily say that I'm the one with whom he has the best affinity. We get along great and can carry on conversations for hours. My dad's an oldie kind of man so he likes to talk about history; mostly the War. He's also well-read and loves philosophy. And at the same time, he's still kiddish and loves games and is okay with joining watching movies that happen to be animated films.

I just feel anyones beliefe shouldn't be squashed and statues of any religion should be okay as long as it isn't a symbol for hate. Pretty much this. Religion is, first of all, very private and personal. It's not something that should openly be discussed or debated. And that's because plenty of times, topics like these are designed to call out believers (the devout, the falsely devoted, the extremists etc etc ) and non-believers alike to defend their stance. Personally speaking, I do not feel the need to justify or defend my faith. In the end, when it's all said and done, it really matters not, what others think. As long I'm not hindered in my freedom to worship and am not hindering someone's freedom, then I'm all good. True believers should not take offense in these things. Just like we are free to worship, people are free to think for themselves. People are allowed to have opinions; even if they are opposed to one's own. True faith does not need vindication or approvals externally. It does not need to win an argument or debate. True faith rests within. --- "Ladies don't start fights, but they can finish them." -Marie, Aristocats |
