sksongwriter @sksongwriter (200) • United States 20 Oct 08

My son has recently expressed a fair amount of interest in watching Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" with me. This is, in my opinion, one the scariest movies ever made. I saw it when I was about his age and it scared the living...

stryker5 To be honest, no, we don't want to be treated bad however, some guys have ruined it for most guys. When a nice guy comes along, for some us, it scares the living daylights out of us. We are so used to being treated bad that it is hard for us to believe that...
