But what men do to men is in their nature, it always has been, perhaps we'll never learn to live in harmony....Tony (potleek) Time is the most precious thing we have, but we are the poorer if we can't spend a little time on a friend

I watched this one thinking that I would learn from it, and no, it left me traumatized. It is too horrible to speak about, I only know that I will not watch something like that again. Thanks for responding Tony, I had to share this one, because it is a warning to women like myself to be aware that that are nasty and evil men out there. To be watchful. Thanks for understanding though. Mariaxx "Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point."

A super piccie to compliment a great piece of writing, Maria, and worthy of more comment, Zy x Opposites exist by virtue of each other

I don't mind watching the old movies, knowing that it is imagined not real. I wish I didn't see the show the other day, it was gruesome and violent. I cannot believe men doing those horrid things, and yet I know they do. Mariaxx "Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point."
