I was wondering what was taking you soo long to dodge, deflect and evade.

Out of context? What a joke!!!
The norm at the time?? Even funnier  
And what I posted to "provoke" the response? Yes, please, everyone go see if what I posted warranted such a viscious and violent response. It proves the civility nod was just a farce in the first place and he was never serious about it.

That is why it took you soo long, there is no defense for that but it won't stop you from trying!   I'm kinda disappointed that you didn't have a better ruse or tangent to foist on us rather than just naked "blame the victim" tired meme of old.

All from the guy that calls us teabaggers and rape supporters. Context...what a joke!!!

(oh, and thanks for helping get my post count up - inside joke from another thread )

Dane.....
I remember hearing, or reading, something many years ago. I'm 60 now, so I'll guess I was in my early teens.....
I don't know who its attributed to, but it goes like this, "You lie the loudest, when you lie to yourself."

I didn't grasp the meaning way back then, but it has always stuck with me. Not till many years later, when I confronted my alcoholism, did I begin to understand its ramifications....

For decades I drank the poison, hoping the other person, would die. You could also say I let situation, and circumstance justify my actions/beliefs, blaming, instead of looking deep inside myself, for the root cause of why I needed to strike out against others, to feel good about myself, which, of course, feeling good was only temporary, just as getting drunk, which provided the same escape.

Peace comes from within, no other person, or government can give it to you...... period.

Dorthy had to screw up the lives of a scarecrow, lion, tin-man, and a couple of witches too, before she came to realize where happiness lies.

What people say is truth, isn't..... all of us think what we believe is truth, its not, only to us. That is why real peace can only come once we accept ourselves, as we are, does it allow us to become free of assumptions, taking things personal, allowing us to be impeccable with our words, and to always do our best...which varies from day, to day.

We are of free will, to choose, our natural state is joy, not anger, love, not hate.... 

If we experience any of those adverse emotions, we need to eradicate it from our lives so we can be free, and the telling will be in our actions towards others, in a manner that fosters love, and understandings, not self promotion or division.

Think about it.....

Not quite sure what you are getting at, not sure you meant to direct this to me. I saw your thread with the observations you made and added the experience I had that was somewhat similar to what you experienced. But I can assure you that any negativity here is eradicated from my life. The insults, slurs and hate affect me not in the slightest.

Yes, it was directed at you, lifter had already chimed in. I thought that put a bow on the matter, but you felt so motivated to attach that reply/response which gave me the impression you were not done with this thread, and wanted to rebut his reply to me......even tho you say I had such an experience (exchange) with him, you're mistaken on that summation for he has never, nor I, exchanged such descriptive verbiage.

But if you all agree to this type of exchange, by all means, continue on, or "As you were"

Hell.....I just leave em' up  

I sorta gravitate toward this simple observation....

"There are two kinds of people in this world....those who return the shopping cart, and those who don't"

Does it work? Because if it does then you are probably doing it right!!
