Is that so? Yep, his pirate career was short but certainly deadly. I watched "The Adventures of Robin Hood" with Errol Flynn the whole way through for the first time the other night. This movie is 80 years old, and it may be a bit old school, but it is in a good way. I was like, "Wow, we just...

Well, I wouldn't put it so bluntly. And real life pirates now are vicious (Captain Phillips comes to mind). Just someone who's a decent human being and treats me like a human being rather than just a lady. I've also been fascinated by people who took huge secrets to the grave, and treasures...

Well, of course, this guy in particular is dead. And I know every man is flawed, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't have standards.

I've always been fascinated by world history and different cultures.

To be honest, I find plenty of traits this guy had to be rather attractive: Ambitious, doesn't back down, someone who actually gets stuff done, displays kindness (providing financial compensation to any of his crew who lost a body part). Physical appearance of course should be secondary, but it...

Pretty much explains why he was the coolest pirate ever.

Yep, 'cause all middle-easterners are innocent victims of the real terrorists, us Americans. However, 9/11 came close to being foiled. And had it happened, the last 17 years would've turned out quite differently.

I also explained I tend to be shy and don't like interrupting conversations 'cause I don't want to be rude. Unfortunately, there are very few pauses. Read this story: Morgan and his men had once captured the Spanish city of Portobelo and were threatening to burn it to the ground if not paid a...

Well, given that no one likes to be around someone who pouts all the time, yes.

And Captain Morgan was not a bloodthirsty pirate. If anything he was the coolest pirate ever. He was a privateer (a sort of legal piracy, if that makes any sense), and he did not look like he did on the bottles of alcohol bearing his name, he actually kind of looked like a pretty boy. Not to...

Of course they do, but why does that have to mean something? That's common decency.

There are actually plenty of misconceptions about the middle ages, and plenty of other time periods. For one thing, not everyone married at 13, and suits of armor were no heavier than a firefighter's uniform. Plus, democracy was not invented in Greece. Nor did Roman men, at least the rich ones...

Which is why I like to follow Sherlock Holmes' method of deduction. Rule as many things out as you can. There are still, unfortunately, people who believe the Earth is flat. Then again, the idea that that was the dominant view in the middle ages isn't exactly true.

Yes but those tend to be few and far between, which goes to show that people really will believe just about anything.

Apparently the Vatican owns a time travel device.

I'm sure you are. One thing I like to do for a laugh is watching things about conspiracy theories. Not to agree with them but just laugh at their ridiculousness.

Apparently something as simple as talking to someone with no technology takes too much effort and is too much of a nuisance for this world of snowflakes. Besides, we have God! What more could we possibly want?

Wow, you actually took the time to think about what I meant in these posts. Thank you. I've been told God is probably protecting me since I've never dated, protecting me from getting my heart broken. I don't want to be protected. I'm not a baby anymore. And I'm sick of everyone treating me like...

Well, this may sound canned, but despite our numerous predictions and calculations, nobody really knows for sure what's gonna happen tomorrow. If you're interested we could go to private messaging on this site, since I don't really want simple conversations to take up a whole forum. But for...

I've had to deal with being different all my life, though it didn't really bother me until after I finished high school. But yeah, I know my family loves me, and I love them. But I tend to feel like I'm the odd one out. It's not something I cry about often but I have more than once.
