Obviously Moose you have no experience with people.
Obviously you are wrong. Thieves are not people. Murderers are not people. Drug dealers are not people. I deal with thousands of people on a monthly basis. An average of 8,333 per month to be exact. I own two businesses, both are service orientated. Apparently my "people skills" are just fine. I have 24 employees at my second Business. I am alone in first business venture that has done well enough to afford me the ability to purchase the second. Everyone I hire is aware that stealing, drug use and a variety of other actions are forbidden if they wish to remain in my employ and/or on my property. Its amazing that even the two mentally challenged teenagers not only understand it but appreciate it. Apparently the customers appreciate it to as the business has grown 20% - 30% MONTHLY ( compared to last year's records from the old owners) since I took it over in January. They appreciate the fact that while they are on my property, their property is safe and sound and they are as well. I suspect that You are failing to understand that "people skills" does not entail accepting or condoning bad and/or unfavorable behavior. People skills is knowing how to set rules and enforce those rules in a kind yet unwavering manner. It also entails having to know how to handle problems people and situations without allowing their emotions to overide sensibility while maintaining your professionalism. Simply expressing that those that serve no purpose for the greater good of society check themselves out or be eliminated does not mean I have no "people skills". If you are inferrring, however, that I am intolerant of low life scum sucking mule dogs then you would be correct.
Obviously, you have never sat in a fighting hole with a punk kid that last year stole cars, dealed drugs and much more.
That is 100% correct but may I suggest that you use the term ,"obviously" a little less often. The law of averages are not working in your favor this evening.
Somewhere he met a Marine, changed his life and now is sitting in Iraq fighting for your right to sit your fat ass behind a computer and wish him dead.
1st my ass is not fat and I am a little concerned that you are trying to envision it
2nd I am not wishing him dead. Is he locked up in a federal Prison? No, he is in a foxhole with you while you are trying to get a mental picture of my ass in your head. ( I'd like to point out that the last line was pretty damn funny! Admit it
)Had he been in a stolen car, or raping a child, or pushing drugs then yes that statement would be accurate. As it stands now, it isn't.
I train everyday with Marines who have less than stellar pasts to say the least. I trust them with my life. They are the protectors of freedom. Their numbers in my ranks are unbelieveable.
I applaud those that do get turned around but I would be willing to wager that while the numbers in your outfit may be exemplory, the national percentage is obscenely low. I can see where those personality types could be useful in the armed forces. If you re-read the post, I dealt with this in an indirect manner. If the parents were doing their job correctly then the children would not be in those situations to begin with.
We are all not perfect like you.
You may want to re-read my post ( Again). I did to make sure that I never claimed to be perfect. While my expectations of myself and my family may be considered "high" by your apparent standards, I do not consider not stealing not abusing drugs not lying and not killing others that hard of a thing to do.
So you sit there cast stones and and wish all "bad people" to die......
I am not wishing for all "bad people" to die. Only those that have proved themselves worthy of dying to a federal court and or those in the act of perpetuating a crime. Why is this so hard of a concept to grasp?
oneday you may look around and not see anyone but yourself.
I sincerely doubt that will EVER happen but if it ever does you'll have the satisfaction of knowing your wish came true.
I have an intolerance for the individuals being discussed here and their actions.
I appreciate your willingness to judge me but I am sorry to inform you that you're WAY off base on your little "synopsis"
But thanks for playing.
At the end of the day we all have different thoughts and opinions. But I will not sit idly by while someone that has no clue of who i am or what I do judges me openly. had you pegged me I would not have replied other than to say, WOW are you psycic or something?!? But you were SO FAR OFF it wasn't even amusing really and I refused to let others form an opinion of me based on your rantings. Then again, Others opinions of me is actually meaningless since I'm not going to change just to please some people that wouldn't know me if they saw me, so perhaps i just felt like replying because I'm bored. yeah... we'll go with that
