Tolerance is associated with grace, which is associated with patience, which is associated with humility.
In all things, all things.

Beaker believes enough in what he does that it clouds his good judgement. I think all of us probably suffer that from time to time.
I know I do. Still, on balance, if destruction is your gig, then destruction you will have; to be paid in full. I like Beaker
and respect his technical proficiency and quirky sense of humor. I despise his need to go over the top in battling what he
he deems objectional, often with malice. He knows how I feel and I know how he feels and we leave it at that. It's easy to love folly
in a child...Still, I see no purpose in wearing underwater apparatus when waders are called for, and maybe not even that.
This last case with you seems to have opinions of the military in question.
I draw distinctions in this case, because I'm not only a vet, but I know many vets, and I identify with them in an intrinsic way.
I abhor violent conflict also, and understand the folks who have visceral opinions as to such.
Still, I feel that when you can give folks room to be thoughtful or stupid, they'll overlap into both camps, me included.

Better - thanks for posting yesterday, Jade really helped me get straight, too.  I should probably smoke some ganja soon - it's been more than six months, and seasonal depression is a factor now that I'm out of the sunny desert (wouldn't go back there for anything) - I'm keepin' on but, damn, Beaker is one who manages to get my back up.;

Actually, I have to laugh to keep from crying...it's either that or give in to verbal impulses that would not help...
Still, the disconnect is alarming sometimes...

What say ol' coffee hound!

Enjoy the simplicity of living honestly, knowing that when you screw up you're in the company of both the great and the small.

Glad I'm not the only one,,,We really don't need a court recorder around here, do we?

How do people get the point where they they think they are so enlightened that they can stop self-examining, stop listening, bur rather just criticize, correct and monitor other's behavior?

BDB got on my case for saying pretty much the same thing a few weeks ago in some other forum.

I don't think Beaker has any real convictions, he just sees most of us as "liberal asshats" and wants to do what he can to make us unhappy.  FAIL

I miss Trustocity sometimes, I wonder what he'd think of Beaker :smirk:

 Coaxial wrote:  Yeah it is kind of creepy but I  think he does that because  lot of people go back and edit their comments after the fact as an artificial moral sanitization process. I find that extremely creepy.

   However I don't worry about it because I assume everybody else can see the same people do it and that they adjust their bullshit meters accordingly.

 I can barely keep my own real shit organized, much less keep track of other peoples bullshit.
