Patience. People want what they want when they want it. All good things come in time but not without sacrifice.

Nomad

<t>I suppose I could answer... I like people in intimate situations. Im at my best in small gatherings and prefer meaningful conversation. I suck at small talk and it bores me to tears. 2 minutes of that is my thresh hold. I enjoy people in small doses unless a truly remarkable connection...

Nomad

Great answers. I appreciate the honesty.

Nomad

Informal poll.

Do you like people, do you really enjoy peoples company?

Do you only tolerate people?

Somewhere in between?

Like a few?

Prefer more alone time than people time?

Nomad

Ive never actually heard anyone utter either pronunciation. Ive read it in books but not vocally spoken.

Nomad

Necks are outrageous???

<t>That you desire to shed yourself of government assistance is admirable.

You sure do have a lot of rules.

Trying to justify everyone elses existence. Its not looking good.

I attended a funeral for a co-worker this morning. An hour removed from that another co-worker died. Awesome day.

Nomad

Agreed but you can search for reasons to the high heaven. There are millions of reasons why people do things. Thats why its necessary to have a bottom line. There has to be an absolute and that is the law. There are too many variables to consider the whys.

Its always about the fish with you.

Nope. Just educating you.

Nomad

Wrong.

My example of an 80 yr. old woman being drug behind a car for her purse seems to be an act of desperation.

I personally dont give a rats ass what motivated the 2 girls to behave that way.

Wrong is always wrong.

Just off the top of my head and with no statistics that is possible I suppose but the crimes of greed probably affect more middle and upper class families than the guys in the street. The middle class dont generally resort to thug-ism.

Nomad

Ive driven through Georgia many times. Lots of interesting history there but geographically most of the state is uneventful. The area north of Atlanta however is spectacular.

Nomad

Id respect them more if they dropped the news part of Fox News. Its not news, its propaganda, skewed ideology and biased talking heads. At least Jerry Springer admits his show is garbage targeted for the lowest common denominator.

Nomad

Heads should roll. Hell, heads should be severed and placed on sticks stuck in the ground outside the office. Employees can cackle at them as they enter and exit.

<t>I'm more outraged at the middle and upper class criminals. The poor losers didn't have much to risk or much else to work with but... the other guys just couldn't appreciate what they had. The low life crimes are probably fueled by desperation, addiction, idiocy or opportunity.<br...

Speaking of good smells, (?) seen any good flicks lately?

Yea, I dunno....When Im 200' up in the air I want to know what my boundaries are. Im a little funny that way.

Im not saying you shouldnt. We each have to experience stupidity in our own way.

This was Tampa FL. Minneapolis had a bridge collapse a couple of years ago and many drove into the Mississippi but the plunge was nowhere near as devastating although many did die.

lol...no. Im relieved to announce its been some time since Ive done that.
