Day you learn how to do that, my friend, you should please email me and let me know how it's done.


Actually, I think I change more minds by passively planting seeds than I ever did by yelling at people. The conversation goes like this:

Other person (helps if it's a friend or someone who likes you): "I believe X."

Me: "I understand what you're saying, but have you ever thought Y?"

Other person: "No, you're absolutely wrong about that, X is definately right, and this is why...(blah, blah, blah)."

Me: (First thoughtfully considers the other person's point. Is not rude, and listens.) True, however, have you considered... (blah, blah, blah)?."

Other person: I still think you're wrong.

(Several weeks, or months, or years later, I find that they've come to believe what I believe. Planted the seed, you see. This has also worked in reverse on me...)

Just not that patient, sorry. I like SimonWho's idea of trepanning the gorram idiots a lot better.

yes, this is very important;
to fit in...
and not hold (or at least express)
any conflicting opinions...
because you know? If you guys get mad at me,
then I'll feel all rejected by people I don't even know...
and I might have to quit the board...

and then I can make up a new name and rejoin using a different e-mail address....

So let's sing a rousing chorus (and all agree that we LOVE Firefly, and that good reviews are a wonderful thing):
" I cut down trees
I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear pappa...

He's a lumberjack
And he's OKAY
He sleeps all night
And He works all day!"

Hmmmm, yes, many schools of thought, and most of 'em run by crackpots.

Sorry, my tolerance levels have dipped significantly today...read some posts among the highly conservative fans over on prospero. Growl

Oh I feel better now. I can go back to just being a curmudgeon. Privately, of course! >snort<

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.


There are reasons I don't discuss politics or religion, the hijacking of a great thread is one of them.

For those feeling the need to discuss politics, please take it to the appropriate area and let's leave Static's thread for it's original purpose.
