There ARE other kinds of chatrooms. Try subject areas in topics other than "Romance".

If there is a subject area that interests you, look for a room on that subject. Every now and again they actually stray ON topic. (yes, people, I've had this happen. Before they went pay, there was a good Paranormal and Supernatural room on MSN chat, also one on Jungian Psychology that was kind of cool ...).

What's your idea of fun, r970?

When I went to school you had to go to the library and look in the encyclopedia at a picture of Univac to see a computer.:p

I thought that I had such a cool idea, too -- but I still haven't learned the character's personalities and I'd kind of lost track of the idea.

Romance? Not necessarily. The thing is that you must avoid "general chat" rooms. They will degrade instantaneously. You want to find chat rooms with some purpose or another that you will find interesting.

As for Jungian Philosophy: because he's associated with Freud, I've always assumed that his work was nonsense (and this has been reinforced by some of his ideas that I have heard second or probably fourth hand). Would it be worthwhile for me to read some of his books so that I know what he's talking about so that I can know more than the nut who's ranting to me and be able to refute him with ease?

When I went to school, at least during Middle School, they asked us if we had access to a computer at home. Do they still do that?

I'm 34 up here in this drippy, wet corner of the US map. My high school had a computer lab full of Apple IIe's and IIc's. Been a computer junkie ever since.

I check this here coal-fired monster called the Cellar throughout the day. Luckily I get to sit in one spot all day long and help tellers and loan agents find their email. It pays good, and I get to live indoors.

In this school there are 3 computers at least in EVERY classroom. In the computer classes there are 20-25. We have the internet but we also have this thing called BESS. It blocks out chat, games, message boards, all except this one. Its good that we have the internet. I have to have fun at school or I'll lose my mind. You know that 1 person that is very school spirited at a pep rally thats me.

Jung and Freud ended their lives in a massive feud, which may have been the result over differences in their theories regarding the consciousness, and may have been regarding "treatment" of a female patient ...

A good book to grab onto is "The Portable Jung" ... gives an overview of the "good stuff", usually with commentary. Anima/animus, collective unconscious, dreams, mandalas ... it's all in there. Never really managed to have a sit-down with a Jungian to have them explain how you use this stuff in therapy, though. (Lotsa new agers are Jungians, incidentally ... as was the late folklorist, Robert Campbell, whose "Power of Myth" PBS series explores the idea of the collective unconscious through the expression of various culture's myth cycles. )

Joseph Campbell. I actually like his stuff a lot.

Thanks for the correction. Something sounded wrong with it when I was typing that statement on the fly.
