Re: Why people get angry at the Swam [Re: fireworks_god]

Controversy only side-tracks the debate...

Webster:

con?tro?ver?sy ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kntr-v?rs)
n. pl. con?tro?ver?sies
A dispute, especially a public one, between sides holding opposing views.

Controversy does not sidetrack the debate; it IS the debate.

Note: I am sending every S&P member a dictionary for Christmas or at least a link to www.dictionary.com.

Re: Why people get angry at the Swam [Re: Swami]

I do not get mad at the Swami because the same aspects of Swami that causes antipathy in other people towards him, are the exact qualities that only make me smarter, stronger, and overall better. I am, after all.. still alive. :wink: The truth is.. if there were no Swami or anybody else with skeptic-balls of steel, there would be less conduciveness for growth.
We find contentment amongst those who agree with us, and growth amongst those who question us and so forth.
Who is the smarter person; He who chooses to feel hurt, and attacked by another's battery of questions and assertations, or he who chooses to listen the same opposing person with an open mind (less ego), and adapts to the situation and learns as much possible, and moves on.. rather than waste energy and time into protecting a bruised ego?
The nice thing about the ego, is that it blindly rears itself into the precise area that it always needs improvement in, quite automatically...hence making it E-Z, at least for the higher cognitive functioning individual, to see where they need to do some psychological-internal home-improvement. Sorry, No Bob Vila or Tim Allen to help you..  :wink:

Hmm...jono did make a decent point, Swami.  Perhaps, for the sake of softening the blows to egos, you could incorporate more subtlety in your posts?

Sometimes shock value is necessary for change, but I will consider your suggestion. Please alter the following brutal, ego-destroying Swamiisms to make them more palatable to all readers.

exchange regarding Crop Circles

well I've wondered if they were shaped by some unconscious "froce".
"I don't think of 2" x 4" planks of wood and string as an unconscious force, but maybe that is a matter of perspective... "

i think the highly complex ones are designed with more then 2" x 4" planks of wood
"Think what you like; it has been documented on videotape from start to end with the simplest of materials. Move on to something with more substance than this faddish fantasy."

My humble apologies, I seemed to think there was a difference. Hopefully my credibility isn't completely ripped to shreds after misusing one word. :grin:

Wait, what I meant to say is "Fuck you Swami! How dare you tell people different than what I say! This is exactly why people get angry at you!" :lol:

:wink:

:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :satansmoking:
Peace. :mushroom2:

Stealing wasn't necessary. All you had to do was but ask.
