If you find yourself to be always right, and never adjusting, you aren't a critical thinker and will inevitably be wrong.

Once you are past the age of, say, 18, you have no business believing you are always right. No matter what your political affiliation is!

I'm always surprised when people get insulted by UG's posts. Seriously, when he gets on one of his rants as he did back there...don't you just have a giggle and move on? lol I know I don't take him seriously when he starts talking like that.

Sorry UG, but it's true.

Shawnee123 · 01-28-2009, 04:17 PM

Heehee...I'm guessing in UG's world that is the worst thing you could say.

He is rather humorous...I don't get really offended by him because he's just so over the top it's funny. He never seems really angry, just bent on writing some nice prose and telling you that you don't know anything.

Aliantha · 01-28-2009, 04:21 PM

I think he's a nice bloke stuck inside a bit of a snob who thinks he's pretty good. I'm working hard on 'fixing' him so that he's more 'normal'...just like the rest of us...

It takes all types. No-one here is all bad, and no-one is all good either. Everyone has their moments when you'd like to clout them over the nog, but when it all comes down to it, there isn't anyone here with a bad heart in my opinion...not even UG!

Shawnee123 · 01-28-2009, 04:21 PM

Agreed.

Well, I'm pretty new, so I don't everyone yet. When I read it, I thought it was insulting. But... I AM used to debating really irrational and contentious people on the right fringe, sooo...

You know they set a new world record at the inaugaration?
Yeah.. there were over 1.5 million people there. But only 14 missed work.

Why don't you go create your own little kingdom for us all to worship and adore?

That post was completely insulting.

You're not talking about someone we all know and love are you? lol

No. He and I actually get along, MOST of the time. Although I do have to bring out the whip and ball gag every now and then.
