My imagination is the only limiting factor to my Fiero. Well, there is that money issue.

If you followed the complete thread and if you followed any of Bill's ramblings over any issue involving the "government", he stays very consistent. This thread was started to honor the losses of 9/11 and honor those who have volunteered to serve to protect our nation.

Well thank you.... I am prior Navy ----
I would agree with you that "as a person" he sounds to be biter and lonely, but I also have to tell you that from time to time he makes a good argument. And for that reason ALONE, and the ensuing debates, it makes one both thankfull and aware of what they have. Thats the great thing about it here. His little blurb about perspective at the bottom of his comments is not wrong. And the more aware one is to different points of view, EVEN if they are wrong, leads to profound thoughts and ideas.

I'm no different than anyone else, we all get bummed out from time to time... don't we? Though I'm the only person sitting in this room at present, it doesn't mean that I am alone or lonely. Though I get angery at times with certin things or happenings (past or present) that does not make me bitter.
Even IF I were, I don't see how my emotional state relates to this thread, what I'm writing or why I'm writing it.
It's not about me. Never was, never will be.
It's about US, We The People.
The dill heads that constantly point the finger at me and say otherwise are the worst because their minds are already made up..
Closed, locked down and ready to do battle to prove they are right and will fight tooth an nail to defend it. Whats really screwed up is I'm expected to run headlong into the brick walls suroundig their perceptions of me in order to change it... HA!!! Fat effin chance!
And you wanna talk about bitterness intlcutlass? Try being on the recieving end of some of the crap I get on here and you will see enough bitterness to last a lifetime!
Somtimes it gets to me and I retaliate even though I KNOW it's not going to change ANYTHING exept to make me look bad. I don't care... even after the fact as I watch my accept-O-Meter climb......I'm very aware of what I am doing and why I'm doing it. I like it that way.

I think you are refering to this quote from another thread. "Perspective is the ability to understand anothers point of view." - 84Bill
Perspective in that quote can be substituted for empathy.
Right or Wrong is a matter of perspective the only real way to know is to be empathic enough.
Most people cant crawl out of their skin long enough to ask how their wifes day went let alone actually listen and comprehend. There are some but thats usually where it ends, everyone else is just a boreass.
Tiny minds running in nice neat tight little circles. The chaotic world is out there and they are tucked away all safe and sound with the usual predictions... status quoe...
Ahh yessss.. Just another Pleasent Valley Sunday....
Until 84Bill comes along.

I'm VERY perceptive. You underestimate my ability every time.

Thats good.. because you never will. You are one of the incapable few.
Unlike many others who show potential, have it but don't understand it or like me.. have it, understand it and use it.

And THATS why I said you do seem biter/lonely. You ARE perseptive, BUT your pessimistic insolence pisses people off (not that there's anything wrong with that), but your comments are insulting, and if your as smart as you think you are, then you have to see the higher road here. Don't brag about how very smart you are, and how others are incapable, a true intelect would aid others, not condesend them.
OOooo I forgot to add..... Twisted is a good thing.[This message has been edited by intlcutlass (edited 09-15-2006).]

I DON'T WANT to understand you. It would be too much like understanding Charles Manson. I'm sure he feels just as misunderstood as you. No thanks.

Hey, guys, maybe we should start a new thread titled "Bill, shut up!". The only posts would say "Bill, shut up!"
