At any rate, it seems like you all need a little more fuel for the fire you're trying to enjoy. It's barely got a spark now. Keep pretending you don't check and re-check to see if there's any thing new and "juicy" to read on this thread if that makes you feel better about yourselves. Oh, and please, don't feel like you must continue to withhold any political insights to the political threads you follow, scold others on and gossip about. Thinking is really hard work.
Jill - that ^ was a bit much. I come back to this thread to see how the discussion is going (as I do for many threads on many topics - go figure!) - there was a good one going for a while there. And I do contribute political thoughts/concerns.
If you wish to be "juicy" and deliberately continue to stir the pot and sneer like that, it is no one else's doing but your own. Your choice. Your words. When you post llike that ^ , do you really think people are not going to respond or have an opinion? You deliberately light fires, fan the flames with great enthusiasm and then complain about the smoke... well, regrettably it does not work that way. You tend to reap what you sow.
Take responsibility for your own actions and the seeds you have sown.
However, I know the limited appeal of any actual facts
Here are some facts -
you are the one who has reminded us in assorted threads how vastly superior your income and job is.... being successful does not make you a bad person in any way but bragging about it the way you have at times is not exactly...
professional, for want of a better word.
You are the one who sneered at
kaykay for jobs she had had.
You were the one who started that little discussion.
You are the one who paints that picture of yourself - none of us are responsible for that.
Nathan and I just carried on in that vein with a little bit of wry humour.
COMMAS!!
Yes, commas as in 1
,000
,000. A little bit of
tongue in cheek smiling
as commas seemed to be important as a way of determining how important one's job was.... or how important one was as a person.
if sticking up for myself makes them think of me me a bad person
It is
how you do it - not the fact that you do it that goes awry at times. It is not the fault of anyone reading or posting here that you pat yourself on the back over and over again about your "instinct" to "stand up for yourself" (that you think no one else has) as a way to justify
everything you have said to people - no matter how inappropriate or rude. That is not instinct - just a lame excuse.
Oh well. It does not matter what anyone says or how much they try to put together a calm, measured post.... we will just be dismissed and told that "thinking is really hard work".
And the only "tone" in this post is what those emoticons demonstrate.... one long, sad sigh. Nothing "juicy'.
Happy Day After National Smores Day!!
