    Impressions your parents made.

    I just had lunch and this topic occurred to me as something that would be interesting to hear.
    I ordered a huge plate of Orange Chicken and took the fortune cookie out of the bag.
    This thought ran through my mind.
    "You can't eat the fortune cookie til after the meal,and if you do not eat all of your meal, your fortune won't come true."

    What are some things that are programmed to run through your mind that were put there by your parents?

    I'll get this one out of the way:
    "If I keep playing with this thing I'll go blind."

    Discuss.
    Out of the night that covers me,Black as the Pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul. In The fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade And yet the menace of the years finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate how charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

    My mother used to always say "don't do as I do, Do as I say" That really made no sense as a teen but now I tend to do the same to my kids. That makes for a great roll model eh?

    I'm luckily old enough and developed enough to escape their sphere of influence.. but this is what they would have had me embrace. I suppose that I can only hope that my eventual wife's family maintains a more.. acceptable ethical doctrine.

    for the longest time i couldn't shop at Sears. my dad had bad customer service, oh maybe, 25 yrs ago, and as a kid i was brain-washed to believe i would rot in the fires of hell if i even looked in their doors. it took many years of intensive therapy to banish this misconception. i no longer break out in hives when flipping thru their circular ads.

    So far ,Raniali is the only one to conform to the theme.
    What things do you subconsciously think at the prompting of certain things?

    well i guess you didn't communicate your "theme" too clearly in the original post

    you said: "What are some things that are programmed to run through your mind that were put there by your parents?"

    and i said: "life's not fair"

    that's what my dad always said. and so i say it.

    when someone says "that's not fair"

    the obvious reply is "well, life's not fair"

    My dad is a health nut and when I was younger I was always out of shape. Everytime he saw me eating something unhealthy, he would ask, "What are you trying to do, kill yourself?" Of course, he would only say it if my mom wasn't around to hear him.
    That will always be in my mind, and I find myself saying it to my family and friends. It's good in that it prompts me to eat healthier in general, but it was bad because it hurt my self-esteem when I was younger.

    Apparently I need to work on my clarity, and realize that things need to be simplified and dumbed down as much as possible to ensure all will grasp the concept.

    Of course, most would infer the theme by my given example.

    Upon review.
    You grasped the concept but did not give what situation or stimuli exacted the response initially.



    Only one thing remains to be said......

    I had a great childhood. Too bad being old ****ing sucks - being naive and young is something I can wish I savored more at the time. Big regret for 23, eh? :P

    I can't look at coupons in the paper without thinking of my mom. She always has/had a million coupons for worthless crap. She would drive 30 miles just to save 35 cents on a bag of whatever. No matter where we go out to eat, this very day, she will say "oh I have a coupon here!"

    My mother told me when I was very young that snakes were the devil. When I was 12 I saw a snake and had a panic attack which, much to my chagrin, wasn't the best defense against the devil.

    LOL.
    Same here from my mum, if somethings free, it always makes me question WHY it's free (probably defective, or came from somewhere questionable)... I usually reject free things -unless it's 455.

    My dad always told me that men always have an agenda, if they become a shrink, they what to see children naked, claiming they only want to see how they wash them selves. He told me women dont want respect that I do, so therefor it doesnt matter for the pretty girl in class if she doesnt know how many continents there are, she thinks its cute not to know and will only giggle. A priest is a child fecker and naked tribal men who swim in lakes will also urinate in the lake.

    This is what he told me among other things.

    I also learned from a very early age that there are no such thing as an induvidual, but a type of human, and each type has many many, and there are 100-200types or something. mens only goal is to terminate men, and now I agree.

    Crazy stuff, but my mother was worse, she would talk about hanging communists loudly infront of me when I was a child, and how some socialist people cheated her in a line once at a university, and she is one of the top cancer scientists in the world, so she isnt like primivite or anything.

    I've taken everything they've told me with a grain of salt until I formulated my own opinion.

    I have never been the type of person to just agree with my parents because they're my parents. I never cared much for kids that shared all their parents political/social/religious/parenting views just because that's what they have been told. And it's a good thing, because I actually think I have helped my parents to become better more objective people.
