One of many. Ain't no big deal, really. My opinions are not ordinary. I'm out of the box more than in. When and if I learn to keep to myself, I will be the one to gain the most benefit.
The thing
speeder refers to is when I said fastpaste was only here to yank everyone's chain and if you respond (ala the old tabs), you only helped his cause. Denis thinks I should not play God. I agree, but at the same time, I asked Denis to just move on if we ever ran into one another.
Normally, I say that 1 in 12 just can't get along no matter how they try. Best to just walk away on a permanent basis. However, if one does express himself regarding volatile topics, and tends to wear his heart on his sleeve, then there will be additional ruffled feathers.
I'm not a happy camper to begin with. The US society I grew up with, became an adult in, and now, officially a senior, has been trashed. The city I live in is particularly trashed. It's not easy to pull up and just move. I tried that 2wice to smaller towns in NV and AL. I couldn't scratch a meager living in either for a number of reasons. So, I'm back in my home town ghetto (since '95) and I pretty much hate life in this city. I'm not about to sell and step from one bucket of crap into another. Most US cities have the same deterioration.
Rather than let that show, as I have many times in the past, I've simply decided to limit my outbursts. If I do express an opinion, those who don't agree with me can pound sand. I don't have the time nor inclination to suffer other's narrow view points. I won't say I'm "a man of wealth and taste," but rather a man of taste and a wealth of good sense.
And now I have the good sense to wander away from the pissing contest. If you piss in one place too long, it just stinks. Goes for me; goes for you.
