Become a Satanist!

I'd say have a cup o' tea, but then Greenpeace or other some such would attack you for using a harmful resource, in their huge, diesel chugging, carbon emission fuelled vessel.

I'd say watch porn but that involves using electricity too.

Jeez, are there no pleasures left that won't destroy the planet?

burn all celery!! :D

Yes, you can also use celery as a fuel to heat the homes of the elderly, so it has many uses.

basil is bang on here, I think starting a celery party could solve sheffields political problems, it may even turn snakes to stone.

keep striving

think of others

what's the difference stewpot? :)

eat more fruit :)

empathy is trying to see things from the other person's perspective, putting yourself in their shoes

sympathy is more consoling someone

thanks cress :). in that case...they're both equally important...

stop poking yourself in the eye! (by constantly revisiting old painful memories)

eat more vegetables :)

1.
Realising that the country of your birth is not beyond critisism; and that however much you would like to believe otherwise, your country has as many bent polititians - drug pushers - paedophiles and generally decadent scumbags as anywhere else - if not moreso.
2.
Stop slaughtering tigers in the ridiculous hope that their penis' will make you horny.

push yourself out of your comfort zone

Take our clothes off and learn to be comfortable with our bodies.

Fill the sewers with marmalade.

Youve got to get up every morning with a smile on your face and show the world all the love in your heart!!Beautiful by Carole King.
Yes I am showing my age now. Tapestry was my first ever album, bought for me by my brother when I was about 14 years old.It is still one of the best albums of all time, IMO

Great.We all need to do our bit for the environment

Thanks so much

you are most welcome espadrille :)

educate the ignorant. patiently. repeatedly. endlessly. :)

Evenin' all!
everyone's very good at giving advice on here, so how about making simple suggestions that we could all do, praps with a little effort, at improving our communities ergo the world?

rules are.....

1. POSITIVE suggestions only please.
2. Suggestions that violate the human rights of others are not valid on here (unless they are under 16, then some tweakings allowed!).
3. Semi-serious suggestions only, (although humour is allowed and welcomed). Don't need to give justifications if don't want.....

hokay.....

I think that people should give more to charities.

I have 5 that i donate to regularly (concern, war on want, amnesty international, greenpeace, friends of the earth) and will prioritise over others. the rest get recycled as they come through the door. if everybody did this, with the charities they most identified with, think we'd pretty much cover most of them.

:)

Good on you!! :thumbsup: . My 5 would be: -

1. Stop eating at McDonalds / Burger King / KFC
2. Donate to charity things you don't need rather than throwing them away
3. Leave the car at home and walk or catch the bus / train / tram
4. Stand up for yourself at work

And my fifth would be go and vote at every election to make your voice heard!

PICK LITTER UP...
and dont drop litter.. and 80 lashes for people that spit bubbly out.. lol

Good on you!! :thumbsup:

thanks greenrat :)

Tell people to empty their PM boxes when they're full so you can send them nice friendly messages.

STOP - being greedy!

educate yourself

educate others :)

educate otters

try and understand others...even if they're talking otter nonsense :D

turn the other cheek

learn to meditate......

a simple meditation is to sit in silence for 5 mins with your eyes closed

....and just smile :)

Emigrate to Saturn or Mars.

Emigrate to Saturn or Mars.

perhaps i should change the thread title to 'positive things we can all do to improve the universe'? :)

learn to recognise what makes you anxious....and deal with it appropriately at the time.

be magnanimous :)

be generous with your time

get rid of the friggin Human Right Act-its only use is to make the scumbag solicitors more money and benefit the neanderthals

be generous with your money :)

help others

help yourself

help your partner

step out of your comfort zone....you might like it :)

keep smiling :)

be with a partner who brings out the best qualities in you :)

Good one - and (as I put on the sex thread) ....


'don't talk of love - show me'

stop trying to control others....it makes you ill :)

(as I put on the sex thread) ....


which sex thread cress? :)

learn to le t g oooo........ :)

instead of asking...how much do you love me?

say....i love you so much! :)

which sex thread cress? :)

I thought it was my thread, it must have been someone's else's so hard for me to trace:confused:

simplify your life....you'll enjoy it more...and everyone benefits when you're happier :)

realise that taking care of others....is taking care of yourself....

direct a smile toward everyone you meet today :)

listen to your friend's problem...before telling them yours....

That would be the "Turn those lights out, It's like Blackpool front this house !" motherly over exaggeration.

Or the...."SHUT THAT WINDOW/ FRONT DOOR WE'RE NOT PAYING TO HEAT THE STREET"......a well worn call in our house when i was young!!


My personal quote is my suggestion btw.

do something for others :)

focus your energy

Surround ourselves with nice people who bring the best out in us. :)

Lose the critics and ignore those who seek to bring us down.

Bin the PC brigade and accept other peoples opinions even when they differ from the norm

Bin the PC brigade

disagree with this chele...what do you mean?

and accept other peoples opinions even when they differ from the norm

hmmm....i would agree with this, if it said 'differ from your own'.

differ from the norm is too ambiguous for me

Kill everything, and it will be a peaceful place.

yes you got it i'm pulling your legs, although it is true.

Kill everything

No that was me in a good mood,
If i was in a bad mood, i'd have demanded we torture everything 1st :hihi:

But the title says positive things, so I kept it as positive as possible,

well done digsy

if we all made an effort, despite what we were feeling, the world would indeed be a better place :)

educate yourself :)

I agree. As I get older I'm becoming more and more like Benjamin the donkey from Animal Farm. I've got a near-automatic distrust of politicians and senior people in the corporate world.

:)

What about the pigs? Orwell likened them to Lenin and Trotsky his book was almost banned lest it offended our Russian comrades.

The pigs did a pretty good job of brainwashing the others into believing it was all for their benefit, whilst they lived off the fat of the land, like champagne piggy socialists.

in any arguement, stick to the point. don't get waylaid by personal retort :)

I've just your list here, Carrie - nice one! I like your thinking, especially the comment "Ask why more often"

I'll second it :thumbsup:

Years ago I used to think I could make a difference to the world and despised old men who told me it was impossible. After decades of trying in my own way to make a difference, I have given up.
The Establishment is too powerful, they have millenia of experience in dealing with people who try to change things. They will allow things to go along as long as they are of use to them and when that use ends destroy them.
Two things immediatly come to mind,

Communism:- allow it build in the soviet Union, and create a bogey man (Nuclear War) to keep us huddled round the establishments skirts. When this threat begins to lose its edge, destroy it and create a new bogey man, International Terrorism.

Slavery:- Encourage it and support it for hundreds of years, as soon as becomes non profitable because of the use of machinery, abolish it and pretend you did so for the good of humanity.

I could make list as long as your arm, the only answer is that they will tell you any bunkum to keep you in your place.
The only time change takes place is when it suits the Establishment, and in accordance with their timetable.
Sorry to be a wet blanket:(


I think their turn might be coming - with any luck

talk, talk, talk, talk......talk it all out.....

greet people on your perambulations :)

learn how to listen, really listen.

don't tell them about how it also happened to you or continually give them advice. keep your mouth shut, look them in the eyes, nod your head and pay attention.

a silent witness.

not like a psycho, you understand, but someone who really cares....

:)

don't interrupt people when they are talking

walk around a bit and calm down, before you reply to someone who has really ****** you off :)

you won't then say something in anger, which you can never retract

We should all be a bit more like Mr Justice and Powerful Girl. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIsW3MhI2Ig)
