I've never been able to abide, no matter how clever or soft pedaled or nuanced, is deceit in any form.


How about you?[/b]

b.o. As in Body odour?

My best advice to you would be a shower.

You make a good point. How have you confronted your weaknesses and flaws?

Fact that you employ past tense suggests you lack an adequate frame of reference

to accomodate or appreciate my nuts and bolts answer at this point in your growth.

Agree, Pastor. That's a baddie for which there's no viable excuse. Let's add two

more to the black list: craven dependence upon sloppy groupthink for approval

and acceptance of lowest common denominator tawdry slang for daily speech.

you can almost see the arrogance dripping off this one.

get over yourself, old fellah. no-one here thinks you are possessed of wisdom. well, maybe one or two, but they're definitely not the sharpest knives in the rack (the understatement of the century, btw).

your best bet would be to focus on your own growth. it's clear that Dive has far more of a clue than you have ever had, yet he is decades younger. you should be asking humbly for his advice, rather than presuming to hand out your nonsense.

OK, I'm going to wade into your slough of despond this time, just to see where we go.

"Fact that you employ past tense suggests you lack an adequate frame of reference"
So, an adequate frame of reference would be future tense, in order for me...("at my stage of growth")...to absorb the wisdom you are no doubt about to impart.

OK so I will ask the question again: How will you confront your weakness and flaws?

Still as unfocused with future tense as you were with past tense. Here's your clue:

"You make a good point. How are you confronting your weaknesses and flaws?"

Yep that's what I thought. True to evasive form as ever; a large cloud that provides no rain.

Your cereal packet psychology and smoke & mirrors semantics may win you some well meaning admirers here, but they do nothing for me.

You should be on your knees, instead of sitting cross-legged at GB's feet!

You best go back to that thread and re-read it. Start from the beginning and go through slowly, and you will get what was said I am sure. 😉

Even my basic wit is wasted on you.

The problem is many of you think you are far more witty than you actually are. 😛

Go and watch your girly hockey; I'm waiting for gramps to come back and I can't cope with you tag-teaming him like you're in some kind of demented Donkey-Kong game.
