But it certainly has bearing on the context of my posts to this thread. "If you have to ask you must know you will not like the answer. Not true, I don't feel the need to change anything. " Here is what I said:Context in a conversation is important. I gave context WRT the definition of wealth as money by ahhaha's own words.If you are talking about wealth that can be transferred to others, it is something that money can buy. I have chosen a career in the past seven years that allows me to spend a ridiculous amount of time coaching baseball, being a commissioner of the league, shuttling my kid around to bowling tournaments and being the team parent for his wrestling team. I have six more years to accumulate this kind of wealth...if I am lucky. In the 90s, before my son was born, I worked at Cisco Systems and made great money. I make much less nowadays, by choice. Talking about the kind of wealth that isn't transferable to others makes no sense. Nobody else can appreciate the value I get from my experience raising my son. The point of this paragraph was to point out that internal wealth cannot be part of the conversation. My experiences and capabilities may have deep value to me and make me feel "wealthy", but on their own, they are not transferable wealth. Your mistake is that you think you can read minds. Ahhaha has attributed thoughts and ideas to me (and others) that have absolutely no connection to truth or reality. Ahhaha's response to this part of the post was:"You're so transparent and vapid it's easy to read your mind and your future. You're going to get your ass kicked, royally, and in particular, from your family. If you could get any of those who post here to admit the truth, they'd tell you the same. Takes no crystal ball. But you couldn't get many. They all have to delude themselves into believing they're safe in their cocoons and in their gay fairs too. As you get older you give up all such vain thinking, and you resent not having chosen another path. Don't blame me. All old people know this but they won't tell you about it because they're absolutely convinced you wouldn't believe them, and they're right. Can someone tell me if there is any manliness left in this pathetic nation of LOSERS ?" This seems to confirm my statement. (side note: I just noticed this last line. Pretty sure it wasn't there the first time I read the post. Pretty funny actually.) Let me ask you this, why didn't you ask ahhaha if there was anything that he would like to reconsider? Do you think that he has a special insight into life, the universe and everything? Or is it simply in deference to the fact that he started this thread?
