...and we'll all march off to the garden to eat worms togther.

"Nobody likes me

Everybody hates me

Going to the garden to eat worms

Long slim slimey ones

Short fat fuzzy ones

Yummy yummy yummy yummy worms."

Comming late in this thread I know.
I havent read every signle post so please forgive if I say something thats already been covered here.

From my own perspective.

Let me just say that no matter how hard I may argue or dissagree with anyone here. And no matter how abrasive I can get.
most of it is merely in good fun and because I enjoy a good arguement and should not be taken personally.

I can honestly say there isnt a single person in the O'club that I dont like.
and there isnt a single person here I wouldnt help if I could if they needed it.

I see the O'club as being one large family. A bit disfunctional at time yes.
but then again. what family isnt?
And in this family. like any other, not everyone is going to agree on everything,all the time.

But like any other family. When the chips are down. And pain and misery rears its ugly head. The family for the most part comes together in support.

In some ways its even better then a regular family. You can say and vent things here that you might not say or be able to vent otherwise.
A kind of a therapy. So's to speak.

People pay good cash money to doctors to do and get exactly what some have done and received here.
And doctors get paid good cash money to do for people what we sometimes do for each other here
Sometimes all you need is that venting. Or simlpy a shoulder to cry on. Or people to bounce thoughts off of.
Some responces are positive. Some negative. some do nothing at all but confirm what one might already be thinking.
All contribute. All add perspective.

In this group here I see everything given. From a well deserved pat on the back. to a well deserved kick in the arse.

As my mother always said. "Eveyone needs a well placed pat on the back now and again.
Its only a matter of a couple of feet of elevation as to where its needed most"

When sorrow strikes one of us. We all feel for the person. Because we all know what it is like to feel sorrow.
And when we feel sorrow. Its hard to just bottle it up inside you.
sometimes you need someone just to be there. Some way to let it out.
Even if they say nothing in return. It somehow helps to make one feel better. Its as if some of the load is taken off you. And helps in healing.

I know I personally have suffered pain and vented it here.
I've vented things here I might have a problem with venting elsewhere.
Most of the time I've received nothing but compassion and found people all too willing to help. Even if it were to only be to lend an ear.

I've found this too be the norm here and not the exeption.
And honestly. No matter how much I may rant. flame or argue with you.
I wouldnt trade most of you for alot of other people I know in my every day life.

this you have pretty much done... ignored them but... I guess no one noticed your superior attitude so you just had to let us know.. and.. being you... you couldn't just accept what people told you. especially since it wasn't going your way. Now you are stuck defending a position that really has no defense.

Lazs... you really need to reread this thread. At no point was I smug and arrogant and I have taken pains to make sure I said repeatedly that I am in no way disrespecting anyone. How you deal with pain is your business, I simply was asking its pertinence to display it as such in common areas.

I simply was asking why it has been a common occurence as of late and that I was personally unsure of the benefits. At no point did I belittle anyone for doing it. That, sir, is your projected anger onto me.

If anyone has belittled anyone, it has been you and Jackal all over me for just asking the question. In a free society, we should all be allowed to ask a question, if asked respectably, and assume an answer forthcoming would be valid.

You may be introduced to democracy and free speech some day... something which you say you support... but obviously only if it is your free speech and your opinion.

I like Moray, I admire him for his convictions and experience and I also think he is pretty bright.

Thank you curval... and back at you.

Lazs is just a tired old man... he needs to belittle someone to create the illusion of control in his world. I admit he provides amusing fodder for later stories, though.

lazs2 · « **Reply #67 on:** January 28, 2008, 02:23:54 PM »

moray.. of course I respect free speech. I also respect personal responsibility. You had your free speech.. Now take responsibility for it.. don't whine cause people come after you for what you had to say.

That is what it is all about. we all say outlandish things from time to time and.. that is free speech.. that is fine... just don't whine. If your free speech paints a certain picture of who you are (to paraphrase toad) then don't whine about the people looking at the picture.. look to the artist.

Actually, you made an idiotic thread starting post and you now wish to "deny responsibility for it". You can blame lazs or anyone else for the matter, all you want. The bottom line is you have to deal with the consequences of what you typed.

Guppy35 · « **Reply #69 on:** January 28, 2008, 04:13:24 PM »

I doubt I agree with Laz on much, but I respect the fact that he is firm in his beliefs and shoots straight.

He wasn't the problem in this thread

I did try and answer your question honestly as did others. You apparently don't get that part.

Sadly it's your loss for missing a big part of what this community is.

OK,
Everyone EXCEPT MORAY37 form a circle, join hands and sing:

"Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya
Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya
Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya
Oh lord, kumbaya

Someones singing lord, kumbaya
Someones singing lord, kumbaya
Someones singing lord, kumbaya
Oh lord, kumbayah

Someones laughing, lord, kumbaya
Someones laughing, lord, kumbaya
Someones laughing, lord, kumbaya
Oh lord, kumbaya

Someones crying, lord, kumbaya
Someones crying, lord, kumbaya
Someones crying, lord, kumbaya
Oh lord, kumbaya"

No sir... not denying responsibility at all. Your view of the reality of this thread is distorted, the first time I've seen you blow it bad, Karaya.

Which part was outlandish again?

The part where I made clear that no offense is meant?
The part where I repeatedly said I'm not attempting to belittle anyone?

Or just the fact that I personally don't see why someone would post such personal information for stranger's consumption?

Not blown at all. You never should have started this thread in the first place. If you cannot see why, then maybe you should take a break.

Maybe not "Denying responsibility", but more like "deflecting".
