Close call between lust and vanity but took lust,I´m tha luvvaman ;)

I'm gonna go with (unwarrented) vanity, although sloth factors significantly into the equation too ;)

Hmm, I don't consider most of them sins when they only occur IN MODERATION. E.g. I guess lust would be one for me, but the extent to which it plays a part in my life I do not consider sinful at all. To me it would only become sinful if I harmed others with it. Sloth is a good one too, that may come closest to being sinful in my eyes since it harms me. I'm not exceptionally vain, usually not at all envious either. I wouldn't mind finally reaching a period in my life where financial worries would cease eating me up, but I'm not very avaricious. I can live on a small budget and just bide my time and hope things will look up a little. That leaves... erm... wrath and gluttony. :D Well, I have my bouts of the first one, trying to deal with that and it's getting more and more rare. But that might fall under the 'sinful' denominator. As for gluttony, LOL! I don't consider that a sin in my case [img]tongue.gif[/img] I'm fervently trying to gain weight and I *have* to eat as much as I can manage to stow away every day. It's finally working just a little bit too - I think I may have gained one or two pounds recently. What I do find sinful about gluttony is all the overweight children I see around these days. [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img] That's just disgustingly bad parenting. Parents have horrid eating habits themselves and are unable to provide a good example to their children - I find that really worrying! Apparently, the huge increase in childhood obesity will lead to a huge increase in diabetes patients later on. How can these parents do that to their kids? What you do when you're an adult is up to you, but to a child, a regular, healthy, not too high-fat diet is SO important!
Erm. Going off on a tangent here, sorry.
Anyway, in the poll I really wanted to pick "Most of the above" but since that option was unavailable and since none of the sins really sprung out in my case, I picked "All of them" ;) [img]graemlins/littleangel.gif[/img]

*flinches* Oooooh, yeah, there goes that wrath again! [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img] Let's hope someone keeps you away from sharp knives dear, we don't want you going on a crazed, wrath-fueled rampage of vigilante, no-anaesthetic fat-removal surgery ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Smartass. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
It's not wrath, it's sympathy. It's not the fat I object to, it's the health problems of which the fat is only an outer signal. I saw five-year-olds on Crete who must've weighed over twice what I weigh! I really do find that sad. A kid can't teach itself how to keep healthy, it needs its parents to do that. And if children are raised on bad food and with horrible eating habits, I think it's extremely difficult for them to amend this in adulthood. Those parents deliberately give their children a bad start in life, and yes that makes me feel angry and sad and sorry. And I know you know that and were just trying to be a smartass who's also so vain he has to hear his own mouth flap (or hands flap on the keyboard) 24/7 but... nyah nyah. ;)

Wrath. But themper is more appropriate expresion. I get angy pretty qickly if there`s something I can`t do or achieve. I also, want to learn everyting "right now" and if I don`t I get a little angy/sad. But this stage is short, so when (if) I overcome this I try again and again.

Heh heh, yeah, you're a regular Mother Teresa ;)

And hey, I can't help it if my voice sounds so beautiful that it'd be a crime NOT to let its melodic tones ring out at every possible opportunity... same goes for my internet posts. :D
You said that jealousy wasn't one of your vices Sarah, but don't I know better [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] :D

Was a tough choice between Lust and Avarice (Aka: Good old Greed). Went with greed in the end, I love money and all things materialistic :D
