greg needs to be encouraged to read great books, get educated, go thru the brutal training of learning to be a man on his own terms, learn to stop drawing his identity off of the reactions of others. learn that no one can ever give you a sense of self worth , no matter how much attention you get. you can only give this to yourself.
in short, greg needs to learn to love himself.
if he did , he would know that his time is his most valuable resource and he would not waste it on such pedantry and childish posting.
the way to solve a problem is to get "better quality problems".
this is why the leftard is at an enormous disadvantage.
if you are in a union or a public servant or on welfare, you just dont have enough challenges.
go start a business and then you will have "real" things to worry about. the reactions of strangers on the internet will then come into some sort of perspective. you really wont have time to be bothered with getting all butt hurt and outraged over someone who you think is a poo poo head
that is excellent advice for greggy ...
he should give that some serious thought..
well done scoot
Yes, well thought up Aquascoot.
But maybe GregPecs is just a very 'witful' fellow,
rather than intellectually the type to write down pages and pages of well documented stuff - some of which can be very anal and drag on in its complexity.
There are various forms of Intelligence.
I myself have an IQ of just 42. I only know the meaning of Life.
If anyone has issues, its Aussie - because he can really turn a good Topic into just a turd-fight of petty quotes and vitriol of personal muck raking. Sure, those that 'bite into' such against him are no better. But he does need to just lift his foot of that accelerator peddle from 160kms an hour, back to cruise control at 80kms. I don't like seeing the Forum having to ban anyone (except It_is-the_Light - but I have a personal bias and dislike about this Member I will openly admit). At the most, I was hoping Aussie would just leave of his own accord, if he couldn't come around. A far more effective aspect than being banned.
I placed my vote 'in jest' against GregPecs.
It was only natural with such a Joker in the card pack.
So he really has '6' against.
I think It_is_the_Light should be banned for no reason except that I just don't like him.
The guy is just creepy.
i would not vote to ban anyone. i would not send a horse to the doggers. one should not "give up"
i get given horses to retrain and , even the most difficult problem horses can usually be put back onto the "narrow road to equine success".
in fact, often the most challenging interactions teach us the most.
when retraining, the most important thing is to do so with complete emotional mastery. once you get upset or frustrated , training ceases. at this point, you are achieving nothing.
if anything, when you interact with a being you are trying to train and you do so from a position of anger or frustration, you will make the behaviour even more entrenched.
this, i believe , is happening to gregory.
by being mishandled and people not seeing that he needs to be retrained very carefully, he often ends up in a fight and he becomes more stubborn. (possibly he is more mule like then horse like)
a good trainer once told me "never get in a fight with your horse" also "you can never outmuscle a horse you have to outsmart it".
with gweg, "you can never out abuse gweg, you can only hold firm to your frame of being the adult and him being the child and , if nothing else, you can practice the art of patience". this way the interaction serves a useful purpose for yourself and does not make gweg even more resistant to training at the next training session
