JMan said: So the summarize our discussion, sqrl...
You don't want me judging you based on one incident, yet you judged the sales clerk on the exact same incident (to your profit of $80) and judged me for discussing the same incident.
You say you don't disagree with my message, that you didn't like the way I said it because it was lecturing from a stranger, yet you then lecture me for my delivery of that message.
You somehow expect us to believe that you couldn't stop the sales clerk from giving you change more than once. Are you being honest in that? Is that part of you not disagreeing with my message?
You decided to support the dishonesty mentioned in this thread, and I am supporting being honest.
And now you are calling me the fool.
Just so that I understand your position. |
You really can't let it go can you?
At this point you are just being thickheaded for the sake of argument. You and I both know there is a difference between you judging people and being pompous and conceded enough to believe that what you say should matter to them and me judging a clerk and not feeling the need to tell him what I think of him. Or in this case you pushing the issue to the point where I felt forced to deal with you...but rest assured that is no longer the case as I now understand your true purpose here.
As for not being able to stop him, I'm sure just about everyone has been in a restraunt trying to get the attention of a waiter or waitress only to be ignored by them. Sometimes people are oblivious to whats going on around them. The very fact that he gave me my change 3 times seems to fit that idea pretty well...but that just makes too much sense for you I guess.
You keep on "supporting honesty", and I'll keep on laughing at the fact that you LIED to do it. Seriously that is just pathetic, what kind of example is that to set? How do you expect anyone to take your message of honesty seriously when you would forsake it even while promoting it.
At this point I actually pity you, in the same way a faith of convenaince is sad & pathetic, so to are morals of conveniance. Feel free to take the last word in this discussion, I won't be reading it and I certainly won't be responding to it. I don't need to justify myself to you or anyone else in this thread. I'm sure you will spin as much of this post as you can to give yourself the feeling and appearance of being superior..which in the end is what this thread was about for you. Your persistance despite reason has proven that much, as will the fact that you will undoubtedly respond to that end.
Enjoy talking to yourself
PS - You might want to get used to that.
