You miss the point. We live in a world culture were every one enforces the idea, that we live for God, for Country, for this, or for that, and then, when they do something just as stupid, you say, you are suppose to be living for yourself. Disclaimer - Blaming the World and/or modern society for your problems is not only completely irrational, but somewhat disturbing. ... Surely you aren't serious, Sir. |

...Who's being irrational? There's a difference between "irrational," and pedantic. |

yes you waaay over reacted it was his place to protect his woman and he prolly worked damm hard to but that car that's destruction of someone else's personal property for which you need to pay to fix end/ ..protect his woman?! Oh give me a break.. The day a shocked expression followed by the words, 'Excuse me' is taken as a threat.. ..the world needs to be destroyed. Furthermore.. I don't even look 30, let alone 'Old-Timer' age. "I don't even look 30, let alone 'Old-Timer' age." SO what? Are u that insecure? that is as immature as your reaction to the situation and you are 30? hope that the owner of that vehicle does not know how to find you when he files his police report, my friend better yet, find him and pay for the damage you caused the young lady was rude, but so what? (heck she may have been joking and you projected your own insecurity) but yes she was possible rude but u committed vandalism - |

Let us make it simple.
Does A = A? Then does Man = man? Or how do you think a shared responsibility for this world happens? By some form of esoteric bs? You cannot have a universe of social discourse, while denying the unit individual. |

Furthermore..
If you believe 'people dying' is pedantic.. You need Spider's concept of 'help'. Unless I am mistaken on its meaning. Overly concerned with details; correct? |

Ugh, tact apparently has left the building with chivalry, quite some time ago.
Putting down someone down about hostility with more hostility, only makes your point invalid. |

I'd have it, except, first they state: "It's not worth my time" Now, well, know what.. whatever. You're right, baby. Sorry. :[ |

Over 2400 years ago, it was realized that people do wrong unwillingly.
The proof is in Gorgias. One can no more ask someone incapable of reasoning to be reasonable, as one can ask a lame man to walk. Or in the words of a wise man, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Telling someone they are wrong is not the same as teaching them to be right. |

"Telling someone they are wrong is not the same as teaching them to be right" not sure if u are addressing me & I do like your post - as a point of clarification tho - ^ I was not attempting to teach - it is not my responsibility or intent nor would I presume to teach the OP anything I was simply giving the opinion requested in the OP - I will leave it to others to teach |

Working ideas in my mind helps me discover the wrinkles. Once I learn to think, perhaps I can share some insights. |

Prove to who? Yourself? Eh? I thought I explained that? Like what? What would a psychologist say? I did it to prove I could do it; basically, just to do it? A suppressed, yet lingering childhood memory had been sparked, or reigniting upon seeing this phantom from your inner suppressed self? ..or maybe a rabid chipmunk jumped down from outer space from his Nut Rocket 3000. Whispered in my ear, 'Key Dee Car'. And I was proving to this furry lil bas**** that I could do it because my ego/arrogance wouldn't permit me to turn down a bet? Oh, or maybe, just maybe.. It was that voice in the back of my head that always gets me in trouble. Shut up! Or I'll Q-Tip your a**! ......? At least now you're admitting to yourself that you did it just to do it. |
