Right now those people who was born after 1991 can say they were born in St. Petersburg, Russia. Makes sense isn't it? For those people who never know where is Leningrad, too bad I could identity that person does not know much about history. History is my favorite subject.

That's some lecture you got there, Authetic

-Stab it with a knife
-Make sure you release feathers out from the pillow bag
-Let pillow fly in the air
-Go down to the first floor

Now, my question is, are you able to pick up all feathers when you are down there?
Same concept with rumors.

A great analogy but I am not sure if I understand how feathers are like rumors? Explain the concept more?

Once they see that you're not taking this seriously, perhaps, they will move on and make up stories on someone else.

That's VERY true. I'd have to agree with you on that one.

Rumors are spreading everywhere, and it is impossible for you to clean it up. Same concept with the feathers are spreading everywhere, is it possible for you to pick them up all ? I know you can, but some feathers lay on the other side of balcony, how do you get it there? Same concept with rumors.

There are rumors going around at work about me having dated certain women, having crushes on certain women and that I may or may not be gay. I dont take the rumors seriously becuase I just take them for what they are - stupid rumors that people tend to pull out of their asses. Kinda like farts, stinky and annoying, but nothing to really worry about.

*nods* Agree with others, rumors is not really big thing and are very easy to ignore.. There is some of rumors negatively against me which are not true, like someone from deaf school asked me if I was abusing my ex girlfriend, I was like hell no!

But nothing I can do about it, of course.. all I can do is just be myself and be honestly, then they will realized that whatsoever they heard might not be true or it was.
