  • wow...i think that was very good, ur answer was eye-opening and very deep :-) ...i will try to apply that in my life...thanks Nate!

  • I think caring about what others think is something we cannot avoid. As you were saying, people are social creatures, and part of living in a social setting is to be accepted into the social circles... even a circle of outcasts is still a circle. Maybe that's why people feel the need to label themselves based on religion, music, sexual partner preference. Even people who say that they don't care what people think often like the shock value of that statement to others. By enjoying that they care.

  • QLP has, in some respects, given me an entirely different view on life, especially this installment.

    Therefore, as I value so much this source of wisdom, I will humbly submit my own query, first posed by Leo Tolstoy in his notable essay:

    Why do men stupefy themselves? (alcohol, weed, tobacco, cocaine)

    P.S. For some reason, I think putting "Free Tibet" on a shoe is hilarious :)

  • I was thinking what you said when this question was announced

    anyway well done

    I have come up with a response for this and last weeks

    however I dont have time right now

    school is keeping me busy

    i will respond asap

  • i thought we shouldn't care about what others think of us because why we have to do that? it just will make us self-conscious. anyway i'm new here , and can't speak English well

  • superficial cultural standards of beauty...ugh!

  • awesome vid Nate.

  • i wish i could reach my hand through the screen, grab that snazzy microphone, and scream "YES!"

    you got it, man. dead on. thank you.

    (ps: am i the only one that loved the fact that a Jackson 5 song was playing in the background?)

  • Best QLP yet.

  • If you truly loved someone can you get over it?
