6 Misleading Assumptions You Make About Quiet People | |
Sloane User ID: 27108958  United States12/03/2012 10:37 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's not that I don't like to talk, I can't be bothered talking to people who don't get it. I can't be bothered with haters, who immediately start the name calling because their intellect is in the double digit range and they can't formulate a coherent response. I don't consider my silence a prison. I've found it to be quite liberating. I choose what I say, and to whom I say it, very carefully. There are some on this forum, including you Travis, that I will (and do) talk to. Most people though? Meh. Not worth the effort. Yeah the name callers and the F U's - over nothing. Just a different opinion. I don't argue anymore, I simply go quiet and post a pic of a flower or something.  Dissolve the illusion of separateness. |

The truth we, taxpayers are his employer. I propose that Mr. Bikle will placed in a life altering situation tomorrow or in the next few days. Your perspective will change. Do I want to be specific? Not certain. I will say that you are going to feel like dog shit if you take the time to look at the person and how they never had a chance. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9968554 You know NOTHING. Sorry, I was drunk. Too much wine and I say mean things. again, I am sorry. |

Mostly, it's learning to nod appropriately :) :ohyeah: Last Edited by LaniJane on 12/11/2012 12:46 AM "There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls." ~ George Carlin |

| samanthasunflower User ID: 29507233 United States12/11/2012 01:34 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why am I silent? Because sometimes the talkees won't shut up. Because I don't want the judgemental idiots to have any more ammunition about me. Because I'm bored with the subject but I'm trying to be polite by nodding at you. Or maybe I just have nothing to say and feel more like listening. Why do people feel that everything has to be said out loud? Good luck with your posting OP.  |

| UseLess RepEATER Those who know the least obey the best: G.F. User ID: 24466426 United States12/11/2012 02:32 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey TB. Made another half-hearted attempt to "wake-up" one of my bretheren last night. I must say it didn't have the intended effect (could have been my tentative delivery based on previous experience), but it wasn't a lead balloon either. I try to get guys one-on-one, organically, not contrived to discuss "real" things. Most of the guys know I have different beliefs, but I have yet to encounter any hostility. I believe there is a pervasive thirst for knowledge, but most folks just have no clue where to begin tumbling down the rabbit hole... Real Eyes Realize Real Lies ~U.R.~ Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. ~H. L. Mencken~ We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. ~Plato~ When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic. ~Dresden James~ |
