I'm not sure what your sourses are. The Neo Pagans I have met would nod, understand why you think that, and try to explain that *in general* Paganism is an earth based spiritualty and that Pagans follow the The wheel of the year, the cycle of life and the seasons and that each group has thier own interpretations and beliefs.
They would dissagree with such a sweeping generalazation.
But I am sure that different areas have different deffintions of Pagan. I love variety
In the english dictionary the definition of the word Pagan is someone who doesn't worship christianity or at least a polytheistic Religion. I think thats where Narf was coming from.

Don't mind the english language...We Brits have been stuck on our own Island for far too Long It's why so many dislike the EU. It's not a "I don't agree politically wise" reason, it's "The Europeans are Invading Again!!!" Reason...It's in our blood after being invaded so many times before

Sorry for jumping in late and probably off course....

Nice guys do finish Last. But the thing to notice is that they FINISH. Its the nice-guy strategy that gets you the Lasting relationship, home, family.

The high school "winners" are considered winners because they are playing the scoreboard for points. After highschool they either have to wise up and completely change their tactics, or die alone. When their goals shift from 1-nighters to relationships, then their targets probably will also.

Personally I have always preferred rubenesque women (same curves as everyone else likes but alittle farther apart). I guess its the empath in me. Id rather have one where I get points because I can truthfully tell her that her self-doubts mean nothing to me. Id rather one that needs help in the confidence department than one that needs NO help in the confidence department. Ive had so many bad experiences with the model-chicks that I actually turn them down if there is a heavier chick around. That probably sounds bad but its just truthfulness of my own faults.

As a nice guy who took a while to achieve what he wanted to do, I can say it was worth the wait.


Being true to yourself if more important than just about anything else.

If you can't stand to look at yourself in the mirror in the morning for what you did or said yesterday, you're doing something wrong.

See, that's why vampires are all evil. They can't look at themselves in the mirror anyway.

Nice guys finish Last, dead Last, i guarantee it. Be nice, and you will end up Last, experience has told me. Niceness screws you over in the end, beginning and middle.
