TO ALL: HOW DO WE ASSESS OTHERS?
Jim, I am addressing this through your post out of convenience only..
OK. I want to tell everyone that I have spent my life time assesssing people. I have had shot guns pointed at me, knives pulled on me, hundreds of close calls...you name it.
Let me tell you my read on Jim B. It is very obvious that Jim has a good heart and good intentions. Also, he certainly gives a damn about not being misjudged. I see so many young people on these threads taking on huge responsibilities. I have to admire that.
Self interest motivates anyone that is not a complete parasite. (if you don't understand that, think about it for a couple of decades) So when you see someone like "top dog" adopting your method...why condemn?
I don't know a lot about Mr. Forthright except I have never seen him "click" anyone. He obviously despises many people because of his lone wolf nature (the roots of that is another story)...and he considers himself superior. To suggest that he makes $4 Plus per hour is more than silly. Maybe when he saves up $1000.00 he'll invest! (good luck, Mr. F.)!
Folks, we spend too much time in the trough...and too much time IMAGINING--instead of LISTENING to what human beings like JIM B., Mr. Forthright, and everyone else are taking a lot of VALUABLE time to say.
Can we not challenge one another on the logic or truth of our statements...and not use inuendo.
Mr. F's agenda might simply be too get a human response that acknowledges his skepticism...and that might be unconscious as well. Who knows? I'm unconscious half the time...and so are you.
I want to express my appreciation to all the young people on these threads. Their maturity is remarkable much of the time. And of course the semi young like MR. D.!!! It is us between 30 and 60 that don't seem to know the shallow end from the deep end!!
Well...it is said that four things come not back: the sped arrow, the spoken word, the past life, and the neglected opportunity.
Go, GO, ICVI...but more important...let us be wary of wasting the above...
SOLON (kind of sad about the PERSONAL ATTACKS that occur between total strangers on this new thing called the internet). |
