Re: The Good Die Young...
cool. if that came across more with your posts, then maybe there wouldn't be so much butting heads with seb and others.
Re: The Good Die Young...
What I do in real life matters much more to me than trying to impress internet liberals. I don't butt heads with Seb. I like him and he is a good person. I figure we agree on 99.9% of things, but the .1% are what we discuss because that is more interesting than constantly nodding in agreement.zombie wrote:cool. if that came across more with your posts, then maybe there wouldn't be so much butting heads with seb and others.
Re: The Good Die Young...
you're the one that got defensive with your viewpoint, here. i don't know what that was about, if not directed to your internet friends and perception, based on your posts.Foo wrote:What I do in real life matters much more to me than trying to impress internet liberals.

Re: The Good Die Young...
Just saying every post doesn't need to be worded like a pity party. I am not worried about perception, but I am also happy to clarify. Nothing was defensive.
Re: The Good Die Young...
no post should be a pity party. you don't have to be sycophantic or patronizing to show respect and understanding.

99.9% seems a little high but the point is spot on.showa58taro wrote:I’d echo this sentiment.Foo wrote:What I do in real life matters much more to me than trying to impress internet liberals.

Re: The Good Die Young...
i think more like 90-95% of stuff. and i think you'd probably find that to be true with everyone on the board. and yes, absolutely difference of opinion is vital for the board.
but that kind of misses the point of where the discussion started. i find myself looking at cops, in general, in a negative light. recognizing that and working to adjust it or counter it when i find myself falling into that, is a good thing. it's not just being a pity party kind of thing.

Re: The Good Die Young...
We both love F13 and are practically impossible to offend, while loving to verbally joust. The latter two traits are what cause us to have endless discussion on the things we do not agree on.zombie wrote:i think more like 90-95% of stuff. and i think you'd probably find that to be true with everyone on the board. and yes, absolutely difference of opinion is vital for the board.

How much of your changing point of view on cops is personal experiences versus media reporting?
Re: The Good Die Young...
yeah, i don't have anything against debate or discussion. (unless it's playing devil's advocate for the sake of it) so you can put that away.Foo wrote:We both love F13 and are practically impossible to offend, while loving to verbally joust.

the changing point of view is me working to not have a negative outlook, where it isn't warranted.

Re: The Good Die Young...
yeah, a little bit actually. not nurses or teachers but there are other professions, yeah. it's not anti-whatever, cause i actually see the flaw in it and care to change it. but it is a bias that i have.Foo wrote:Does this occur in other things?

Re: The Good Die Young...
doctors... but that's typical of a large portion of people to a degree. so that may not be what you're looking for either.
why do you always call me out for "typical liberal" stuff? are you not pretty standard conservative in many of your views?
