Well - I like the good old Grappler - by gee - what a wit even if it goes over the heads of many.. and accompanied by a scintillating intellect and depth of knowledge and understanding of issues rarely seen elsewhere, as well as a deep and persistent humanity (unrelated to any Catholic upbringing, mind you) ..... some of his more hirsute posts, his little dialogue boxes, absolutely tear open an issue under discussion, even if some are confused by it... and he has a depth and breadth of understanding of world issues and international pressures that is unparalleled....

He is sooooo modest, as well.... and wise to a T.... but what a contributor!

I like your posts. Reading them is like getting on a plane, flying to Brazil, catching a boat to a remote part of the Amazon and doing an Ayahuasca ceremony, all from the comfort of my lounge room. Wink

Scoot, you should be willing to listen to everybody including those for whom you have zero respect because there's always a chance they might be right and you might be wrong.
You don't have to admit it, just note it down.


I sort of agree but we mustnt be wishy woshy.
What i would say is Steven Coveys core principle

"seek first to understand, before asking to be understood"

So we must try to understand where people are coming from and see what influences have moulded them.

But the prevailing influences of social conditioning will "drive you down"

Failure is the default Bogie....so whilst we study why the group think is "cheering people over the cliff",its important we dont join them as they jump  Wink

aquascoot,

Your post #51

Worth the read, good post!


"we all like to "vibe" with people who agree with us.

....vibing with leftards would drag me down....i feel it would not help on the "journey" "




I would say, yes, we do tend to 'happily' associate with ppl expressing the same internal 'vibration' as ourselves.

And that is not always a good thing.

We need to determine our own, INDIVIDUAL, path,    ...and to be sure that our own path is what we want [what we are 'in vibe' with].

If we are not honest with ourselves, who will be honest with us ?

Almost everyone today, is a 'go-along' person.       [....i.e. 'go-along, to get-along'.]




Being honest with ourselves, will nurture an internal strength within us, which will protect us from many of the adversities which we will encounter in life.



.



Proverbs 22:24
Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
25  Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.


Proverbs 1:10
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11  If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12  Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13  We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14  Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15  My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:



I would recommend the Book of Proverbs [in the bible] to anyone,       ....to all people who want to be happy and at peace.

It was only a Goodes spear thing, Herb..... no broken dentures......

I don't ignore button anyone - just ignore them in real life..... pushing the button on them won't help them one bit..... the alpha stallion ignores such petty things as an Ignore button and chomps on the ass of the best mares while the Beta horses stand around bemused....  Tongue

Honky. But I think he's given it away. Not that I blame him.
He's a few steps ahead of almost everyone he debates (or whatever it's called here). He anticipates his interlocutor's arguments (or whatever you want to call it) by already having set rebuttals to those arguments, then, often anticipates the replies to those rebuttals.

Debating is like chess; you need to think ahead, know what possible moves your opponent is going to take, then have the skills and know-how to counter those moves.

I use to love playing chess regularly.

Sadly, i don't get enough opportunities today.



Maybe i should do something about that.

Stop trying to incite posters to rally against the GMods.

Big Vic did not make the thread in question.  Redneck did.

It only works if your counter moves make sense. Sadly for Honky, not sure that happens all the time.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

I agree.

Honky's posts are usually well planned (and often thought provoking).

His arguments aren't always sound, but his tactics are (at times) admirable.

I rather thought that de-baiting the forum would be the way to go.....

The above witticism brought to you Grappler Enterprises Inc., a much under-rated performer in the grand world of forum popularity, but which quietly goes about its work of saving the world while appreciating that the best needs no praise - it simply is.... (not that there's anything wrong with that).....
