    If you hold your tongue and try and say it, it sounds like:

    "I was raised on a pile of shit with assholes all around me."

    :D

    I was ignored so therefore I raised myself... And I couldn't be happier, seriously, I couldn't...
    Well, wait, I was raised on this one phrase... -Crying shows weakness...

    bread, water, raw meat, a shower every week, and about an hour of sunlight a day.

    if i was lucky, they'd give me an outdated magazine too old even for the dentist's office every couple of months. that was the extent of my education and entertainment.

    Some things were a lot better than others.

    Dramatics, wit, intellectualism, and open-mindedness were among the positives.

    What was I raised on:

    Don't have sex
    Red meat is good for you
    Play outside, you should only be indoors when it's dark
    Tapes are better than CD's, but Records are better than tapes
    Don't ask people for help, do it yourself
    Be different...don't be a follower

    Good one:

    1) cleanliness
    2) reason
    3) good music
    4) vegetables
    5) Marxist humanism

    These days I believe in nothing of it. Except vegetables. Onions especially. [​IMG]

    Wow, my man.

    I forgot one on mine: atheism. With a dash of feminism, actually.

    My first post was about life at home, but a lot of my raising was really done by the playground and friends.

    -Loyalty
    -Humour
    -Sports
    -Always go for what you want
    -Stick up fo yourself

    Yeah! Me too. BTW, you can call it football with me. I have a secret hatred for people who think football is a different sport.

    I'm so used to calling it soccer by now...:(

    But yeah, soccer is my life philosophy. Nothing is learned aside from the bed, and the soccer field. Nothing.

    Wow. For some reason, I thought you had only been there a couple of years. So, you're a New Yoiker. That explains a little more about your outlook, especially on those of the opposite sex.
