I thought it might be interesting and insightful to have a place to ask the opinions and advice of the opposite sex. Sometimes in order to deal with a problem with the opposite sex, we need to understand how they think and why they think that way. I think we could all benefit from this topic. So let's start learning about each other.

stalker women

Quote From: skwirl

I don't understand why y'all are worried about "stalker woman" Who cares if she posts on the boards? Most of us already know who she is, and know not to take much that she says to heart. Why go to all that work just to put up a front for her? If you can't change your email, then just delete them, no biggie. If you can't change your phone number then just don't answer it. She is only causing problems if you let her. Let her call, let her write, let her post. Just ignore the crazy woman! It's something to laugh about really. She's obsessed.
Hello. I have come to the point where I do not care what she has to say. She needs to grow up, and get past these things someday. I am not sure about my other half ready this, but it is my feelings now. I think that if we need to ask questions about things then we should without any worry about her. Anyway I have to finish packing. Iam moving to Reno to save miney, and there is whereI work mostly. Randy from Gods country

Ask The Opposite Sex

Quote From: skwirl

Hi penny lady! I have to disagree with you on that one. I've been young and I've been old, and if I only knew then what I know now, and I hated hearing it then just as much as you hate hearing it now. But it's the truth and believe it or not, you will be the one saying the same thing some day. I'm not saying that it necessarly applies to the posts that you are referring to, but it does hold true in the basic scheme of things. SOMETIMES it is a good argument.
To me "sometimes" isn't good enough to make a broad statement like that made to Turk. Turk, while arrogant sometimes, is a smart guy. Smarter than a lot of people 20 years his senior. I know many people in their 40, 50, 60's who stopped thinking at 30 because they thought they had it all figured out.

I will not be saying the same thing one day. I work very hard at not stereotyping, and that includes age. Does wisdom come with age? It sure CAN, but it's NOT always true, not by a long shot.

Anyway, I think we agree actually. In the absence of an actual argument to stoop to this, I think Hobart was unfair to Turk. Turk could handle a real argument, Hobart just didn't have one. So instead he impugned Turks age. That is something I would never do.

Turk is most definitely the exception to the rule. He is VERY smart, and has a way of looking at things from perspectives that most of us have never thought about. That is why I like to ask his opinions on things. I don't always agree with him, but he always has a fresh perspective. I sooo  agree with you about people that just quit thinking. I've met alot of them also. But experience is the best teacher. I am always learning and hope to continue to learn. I don't wanna be one of those people that think they know everything, just because they have years on them, and haven't learned anything from them. Hell, even a young thing like turk has taught me a few things! Not trying to be sarcastic, just saying I'm open to new things and new perspectives, and turk seems to have all that!

I see what you're saying, but it's not about stereotyping, wisdom acually does come with age. The more you experience, the more you learn, hence the more time you spend on this earth the more you experience, at least that's the norm. And you are soooo right, it is not ALWAYS true. Because some idiots never learn from their experiences, they just keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again, and never learn a damn thing.

 

Actually, I think they were both unfair. But I'm not one to talk because I've done the same thing. You post a reply based on the information that the other person gives. If that person doesn't give ample information, then it's his bad, and he should expect a reply that doesn't take into consideration his whole life's experiences because he never furnished them. But the person replying should in  turn know that he's not getting the whole story and shouldn't judge a persons character on that information alone. But all in all, I do have to say, and this is just my opinion. Turk said what he thought on the information that was given, and that's what any of us would have done.

 

You are right, turk can ALWAYS handle a real argument. But not alll of us are as intellectual, as he and he is a bit intimidating. But I like that because he makes me think.

Well, I am glad to hear that because she is one sick little monkey!  What she says or does really doesn't affect you one way or another does it? Just let her go on being crazy and ignore it. She will eventually get a life and get tired of messing with you guys sooner or later. Just let her go, if that's what she feels she has to do. You aren't the only ones she's giving grief to I'm sure! She will find some new victims that are a little more responsive, and can feed her obsession.

Well that's my point, wisdom and age do NOT go hand in hand.  They can, smart people wise up with age. Smart people wise up period.  But age betting wisdom isn't true even the better part of half the time from what I have seen. It's a shame, but that's my experience in life. Some people get wisdom with age, and some become intransigent. Most are the latter from what I've seen.

And don't feel intimidated by Turk! LOL

Well, I still think that more times than not wisdom comes with age, it's just logical, the longer you live the more you experience the more you learn. I just think that some people CHOOSE to go against that wisdom, they know better, they just don't do better. Doesn't mean they don' have the wisdom, just means they don't pay any attention to it or just don't give a sh*t. They get the knowledge but they don't utilize it.

 

But I WANT to feel intimidated by turk, I LIKE being intimidated by turk, because it forces me to think. I'm not quite as deep as he is, and he makes me go deeper into my own thoughts and feelings, even if I lack the ability to express them the way he does.

Law of Attraction

Just watched Oprah and the subject was the film "The Secret" about the law of attraction. Anyone familiar with this, and if so what are your thoughts?

What they are teaching is what Dr Phil has already given us in LIFE STRATEGIES. During the show Oprah quoted about 3 of the Life Laws.
I'm curious about the DVD though, and have it ordered.
