There you go again! In just two short paragraphs you mangaged a few more lines of what you are so good at. I now have a “persecution complex.” And I’m a “pussy.” And of course the old politically correct stand by, “narrow minded, and intolerant.” Am I reading these wrong? No, I don’t think so. That is an attack.
You politically correct just can’t stand it when someone stands up to you. You want the world to be a certain way and you are closed minded to any other possibilities. And then you cleverly twist the facts to make it look like anyone who opposes you is “narrow minded.” Gotta love it, it’s worked well for many of you. Heaven help anyone who throws a different version into the mix for consideration.
I do confess to one thing. When I get into a debate on these boards (or anywhere), I put effort into it. That seems to be alright with you when it’s you, or one of your politically correct pals pounding out the insults. However, you don’t quite “tolerate” it so well when it’s the opposing side.
Maybe you better take a look back to some of your own posts. You are a typical politically correct attacker, who cleverly trys to turn the tide with accusations of “intolerance,” as you are doing right now before our very eyes! And the irony is that you do it on a thread which has put the spotlight on people like you! How much more proof can one ask for? You are the very epitome of what this thread is about! It has to be your way or the attacks come fast and furious.
Take a breath pal, relax. There are many different view points of world issues and the society we live in. In short, learn to be more tolerant.
Watch it, RSU. He’ll challenge you to a pull-up contest.
Seriously though, I’m proud of MY intolerance. Let’s see, umm… I’m intolerant of: laziness, arrogance, greed, cowardice, ignorance, uh… that’s good enough for now I suppose. Anyway, that makes me a hypocrite, I guess. I mean, I can’t stand seeing someone who weighs 500 lbs waddling into my E.R. complaining of chest pain and shortness of breath. I can’t help it – I just shake my head, and go about my job like it’s no big deal. But inside, I’m fuming. How can you let yourself go like that? You see, in my mind, that person is SO WRONG, but when I think about all my lesbian and gay friends, they’re not doing anything wrong. Oh well.
wow, it looks to me like we have collectively had about as much tolerance as we can take. I think it’s time we put all that aside and just told each other how we really feel.
I’ll be first, Cake, you bastard, why would you want to get rid of a great word like chesterfield? We Canadians use it just so Americans don’t know what we are talking about, take this sentence for example … Please pass me a serviette I spilled my poutine on the chesterfield.
The average American is usually stumped by that one.
Hey, I know one more thing you are intolerant of. People who think you are a little boy.
In a previous post I assumed lothario was about 14 years old after reading one of his “exceptional” posts. Hey, it was an honest mistake, and I was not the only one who made it.
Now, there’s only one way to settle this, a Pull-up con…oops. Um, nevermind. Ha ha.
You are expecting intelligence, responsibility, higher values from a group, a crowd.
You are expecting a change, a dream, something that clearly not is, an ideal… an incarnation that you will sometimes meet in isolated individuals. Sometimes.
What you are expecting from groups simply will never happen, precisely because they are a Crowd.
Doubting Thomases could always read Gustave Le Bons The Crowd. That book killed my dreams` of large groups ever being more than they have historically been: puppets. Maybe it will for you, too. Sure helped me concentrate on finding the diamonds out there, one at a time.
When I originally started this I was thinking more of the Diversification Training that I have to do at work. I really enjoy getting into heated discussions on this forum. The debate is usually good, unless someone just accuses you of being intolerant or makes a personal attack. That just makes it sound like they couldn?t come back with a decent rebuttal.
ZEB: Oh yeah? Well, compared to you, I AM a little boy! Uh… wait. That didn’t sound very tough, did it? Dang, I always mess that up… Oh well, looks like another one of my “exceptional posts”…
P.S. I’m coming for ya old man. Thanks to your pull-up article I read here on t-mag, yesterday I managed to get twelve dead-hang chin-ups in one set. That’s double what I was getting last month. According to my calculations, if I keep going at this rate, I’ll make it to sets of 5971968 by my birthday in October. Then it’s pull-up contest time, beeyatch! <:)
lumberjak-
I saw that southpark episode. Funny how those cartoons with 4th graders consistently put out messages about morals while at the same time making me laugh my ass off.
