warpedskydiver 0 #1 January 16, 2010 Seems some people take small positions of what they deem to be authority and use that as their way to get back at those they disagree with or find reprehensible. The funny thing is that they are so certain they are correct in their assumptions. What do you people think about this? Is that a way to conduct yourself and still keep thinking that you hold the higher moral ground? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #5 January 16, 2010 QuoteIs that a way to conduct yourself and still keep thinking that you hold the higher moral ground? Are you asking if a person can do this and still tell themselves they have the higher moral ground? Or are you asking if there is a way for you to behave and maintain the higher moral ground. For the first one, yes. People can rationalize the most outrageous behavior telling themselves that they are better than someone else. Either "They deserved it" or "I'm a good person otherwise so this is ok" work for most stuff. The second one is a bit more difficult."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

I have a perfect example of this...biker bud of mine picked up a girl hitch hiking, she said she was hungry and not really going anywhere, so he took her to his house and feed her...then gave her a ride to where she wanted to go! Next day, his house was broke into, tool box,and jewelry stolen... Turns out the hitcher knew friends of mine, and tried to sell his stuff to them! (plus nieghbors saw her and the discription wa perfect) I confronted her, and first thing I asked was, "WHY would you steal from a guy that helped you out?" The cunt, (sorry only word that fit her) say's, "If he didn;t want me to steal his shit, he should have never shown me what he had worth stealing"! SHE felt Justified.... people can justify anything in their minds if they want to! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SHE felt Justified.... people can justify anything in their minds if they want to! This would fit right in the other thread, "Why can't I pop a women in the mouth?" This bitch would certainly blur the lines. "If you didn't want my punch your teeth out, you shouldn't have shown them to me." That's the same sort of justification.Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.
