Question (Important)

Post by I AM ME »

How many people don't read a post if it's over one paragraph long? Do you just skip it?
"How can we justify spending so much on destruction and so little on life?" Matthew Good

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

"Pray for the sheep" Matt Good
"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

"Hold on, hold on children, your mother and father are leaving, hold on, hold on children your best freind's parents are leaving, leaving,.......*AHHH*! " - Death From Above - Black History Month

I'll skip it if it's about something that doesn't interest me... but for the most part I'll read long posts... probably because I'm guilty of many myself. :lol:

I always give them a chance, but if it's something that I don't find interesting, I skim through it just to get the gist (sp?) if it.

And though the hum and sway gets me down, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

If it gets long or repetitive, I'll just skim it, but if it has a point, I'll read it.

Sometimes I go back and read it later if I realize it's important.
