I LIKE YOU!
Glad to see you back.
It can get really frustrating sometimes and we all have out bad days.
But really, it's the same thing on every single internet discussion forum there is. There will always be idiots who will insult and berate you for
daring to have a different or dissenting opinion than them. But you know what? They do that because they can't win.
For some strange reason, it seems that the biggest part of internet culture is that these forums are actually a form of combat, a competition to be
won, and they'll use any dirty trick they can use to shut you down. I really don't understand why. It really doesn't have to be that way.
For me a discussion is supposed to be about learning and exchanging information, and not reinforcing beliefs any way possible. Me, I like to learn
about things, and to find things out for myself. And no matter what, I damn the torpedoes and keep on going through the dawn.
There are some people who just can't learn anything other than what they're emotionally involved in. Sad to say.
Don't let them.
You are who you are. Don't let them tell you any different.
Now for some cliches.
Just imagine me dressed up as Patton mixed with BRAVE HEART! Imagine BRAVE HEART"S face paint on Patton's face!
You have nothing to fear but fear itself!
When one sock is on the other foot, PUT ON ANOTHER SOCK OF A DIFFERENT COLOR!
NEVER LET THEM SEE YOU BLINK!
We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.
Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain.
Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective
and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.
Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate
And furthermore let's not ever forget that age old maxim....
SMILE! YOU'RE ON CANDID CAMERA!
Now let's do the hippy hippy shake.
