masbury says: Excellent example of what (in a more secular form) might help CM's quality and focus
I shudder to think that you work with the poor when you seem so ignorant of poverty. Basically, wilhelm is part of the problem. We have had ignorance about poverty stain the conversation for too long. Are they trash to you? I used to hate working with know-it-all "volunteers." you are not worth clip/clipmark/56383EB1-B4F4-4A75-94CE-0CFF860E575F/ Note to Willie, the world does not revolve around you... @Masbury Sounds about right. When one tends to bring out the worst in people, willie, perhaps it is because they have not yet found the best in themselves. Maybe if you weren't so arrogant and intentionally such a churlish troll you wouldn't get those remarks as frequently as you do, particularly from one such as Masbury, who on the whole seems to be as level-headed as any forum member I've ever encountered. You should have read the clip before you commented. And your air of infallibility is quite disturbing. Actually, bartender, the vitriol I receive says nothing of the arrogance I display. It reveals the insecurity of those trapped and without logical escape. What kind of mentality blames others for one's own actions? How petty and childish, even for you. If you read comments where I have discussed issues with clippers such as Ouyangwulong, Enbar, Abailart, you will see that I am very open to the actual thought and rationale of others. Furthermore, I have learned much more from them than they have learned from me. You should brush up on some clip reading. You might learn something yourself. ... I get a laugh out of some comments, as you may too, but am surprised at how virtual self images have become more common. Cheers Masbury. ps Did you work out the pruning? Willhelm....I'm leaving it to you. You're just about the last one here. Clipmarks has been pretty much taken over by the hate-America, hate-Conservative, hate-Christian, hate traditionalism, hate-military, etc. I know I've gotten wrapped up in trying to state my opinions and beliefs and said things that sounded arrogant to others. I felt just as strongly as the others but there came a time when I felt attacked and denigrated, and even declared ignorant. It was becoming too combative and loaded with personal attacks...from people who don't even know me. Clipmarks use to be a fun place to hang out and share things...and differing views and opinions. It's not fun anymore. It's just abou... MASBURY particularly liked that one, directed at yours truly "You are funny!"The commentor, in passing, took a subtle ethnic poke at his own ethnicity. That self-poke was what was funny. I'm sorry my comment appeared to represent negative sentiment toward you, W. And rather than shalt nots, also from tidbit2 today 'the power of using clipmarks clip', the positive use of words and intent. So thank you, masbury, again for The Creating Brain book you recommended and which I am tearing through with joy! First, Thank you Masbury, I accept your apology and trust fully it is sincere. Second, Jatfla, If you happen to read this I hope you do not lose heart. What we have here is simply a clash of perspective that cannot be resolved. - This is why...Most on the Left are purely cynics. They require no justification for their beliefs, intellectually, logically or otherwise. They live in a materialist paradigm. On the other hand, those on the Right tend to be skeptics. We defy conventional wisdom and question the thinking and rationale of others while maintaining solid footing in an idealist paradigm, the application of facts and logic. They attack our skepticism with their cynicism, which implie... The Creating Brain book you recommended and which I am tearing through with joy!Abailart - Isn't it great? I'm so glad to be a part of the hookup! Jatfla, I really do think you are a good person, and we have always got along well. I feel as though there are just differences of opinion as to how we see the country becoming. I see empire and you see loyalty, but there are probably many different factors regarding the way we both think. We always have an honest interchange and I like you. I DO NOT think you are a mean spirited person. HOWEVER, comments like this are: You hateful low-lifes disgust me. How about spreading hope and love in your communities, not despair and blame.Jatfla, I feel it would be a shame if you quit CM; I really and truly mean that. "Intellectual" airheads. Completely and totally un-American. Our Constitution grants them the right to be dim-bulbs. AND in case of a national emergency, the Marines are obligated to protect their municipality. Americans who continue to bite the hand that feeds them.This contribution could never be accused of being intellectual! Fundamentalist, red neck, white trash is a better classification. Berkeley student deaths at the hands of fascist police saved tens of thousands of American service persons lives by shortening the Vietnam War. How typical swiftboating it is to now attempt to brand their loss and sacrifice as un-American. How many lives did you save? How many m... Masbury, thanks for this clip. Pop ! Only a few days ago did I encounter my first unpleasant CMer. I thought nothing about it until I clipped something and he came to the other place *I play* to offer some unkindness there. In looking for a way to not encounter this personality, I went everywhere in CM to look for options but couldn't find any. [Not in Help...] Finally. Intrigued with the Title of your Clip, I read it. And this is how synchronicity works in my life! Beside the annoyance's name you can elect to *limit your contact* with the annoyance in many fashions. I have done this now and it's all because I came here! So thank you so much!!! hugs Have a great Saturday! PS. ... |
