kbordson 8 #1 January 3, 2007 So... I was told by pm that because of my views on self reliance and personal responsibiltity related to health care that I have a "fucked, selfish seppo attitude" How can you argue with logic like that?! Sounds like a very reasonable and well thought of counter to my points. I love it how people tend to think they can "KNOW" your character and personality just by the brief posts or pm. Experts they are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #4 January 3, 2007 QuoteYeah.. it's the internet ... ... ... I have a f*cked, selfish seppo attitude More importantly, do you realize what having such an attitude, is, in fact, incongruent with the very existence of the internet? We are an online-inter-co-dependent-take-everything-personally-peace-love-hate-granola-cyber-clan. We need you. We care. We want to know everything. I'm going though withdrawls now...I'm going to crawl somewhere and cry...So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

kbordson 8 #11 January 3, 2007 I just like how the internet brings different views and perceptions to the discussion table ... to break down into name calling and running away. And all because someone started with an ignorant and inflammatory comment about US systems in S.C.... imagine that! I started with just explaining how he didn't understand some of the differences... which digressed into entitled attitudes and refusal of discussion. (seppo attitude?! wtf, dude?)

Icon134 0 #16 January 3, 2007 I don't have a overly useful response to this post but to say that... I remember a friend of mine in College point out that he was always at least somewhat stirred by people that would go out of their way to say or do something mean to them because at least they cared about him (albiet they might have thought poorly of him...) he did at least warrent some thought...Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

Misternatural 0 #24 January 3, 2007 Karen, I'ts difficult for people to discuss a posts content without a personality judgement involved. As you know, effective communication in a forum format is marginal at best. i try to be a wizeass on here and the results are blank stares at the screen, or people get pissed off and PM each other. At least you get a response. I am reluctant to use emoticons but thats all we have to work with to successfully get the point across in the spirit with which the post was made. Part of the problem is paranoia based and part insecurity on the readers part. Its a global problem as well,paranoia and insecurity are the bricks and mortar which prevent any real understanding and consensus from happening. Name calling and warfare are the result. As for PM's, yeah I agree if you cant say something for the entire community to read, judge, condemn,support, make fun of- then where's the value in it? lets get back to discussions of titties and beer shall we.Mmmmm titties and beerBeware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires.
