Everyone has a responsibility to not only tolerate another person's point of view, but also to accept it eagerly as a challenge to your own understanding. And express those challenges in terms of serving other people. -- Arlo Guthrie
dammit Arlo, don't you have a day job that keeps you busy? trying not to laugh out loud in the office is causing me chest pains.
Posting quotes and taking them to heart are obviously two entirely different things, Officer Obie.Am I under arrest yet?
The quote was meant to be a safe way (words from your namesake) to help you understand that something with which you at first reject, can often be the best (and in this case the only) way. Look past the hate, cartoon Arlo Guthrie. Your picture posting and obscure song references are already lame enough. Don't defend the BnBer!
Ah, irony. You're looking at this all the wrong way, Officer Obie. It's not how much you impress others with a channel 200 hissy rant or an AHBB torch and pitchfork dance (while lecturing others about hate). It's how much what you're trying to promote in the name of righteousness is doing no good what-so-ever. Does worse, even. You gotta understand what's right before you can condemn what's wrong, Obie. Don't just Google Guthrie .... embrace him, Obie.
I mean, you don't seem to be actually defending the action of bombing and bailing. All you're doing is telling me that I can't pass judgement ...
Who says there's not even a nugget hidden in your crusade, Obie?
Just stop being stop being a hypersensitive ninny and you'll feel better.
My crusade? It ain't mine. I didn't start the thread, I just offered a suggestion which launched your "no hurt feelings" campaign. If you're going to cherry pick my quote, at least pick the part that best applies to you.
Make sure to screen shot it when you see me have a meltdown on 200. Until then...Just stop being stop being a hypersensitive ninny and you'll feel better.
You've almost got it, although it won't all be good. There will still be lame people in this game. The idea is not to not encourage more lameness. Negative reinforcement is lost on hippies though.
And why didn't you post that text with an Arlo Guthrie themed pic? At least then we might have an idea of who the hell you're talking about.
As is a positive example being lost on Team Obie, it seems.
Is that the 'royal' we, Obie? Don't strain. This may take years.
