@Reeps: You're aware of the Nike tagline 'Just Do It', well make it yours.
Ah, an open discussion on my favorite topic -- mua!๐๐ You guys are strange!
M- Why do you think it is a sad introduction? I am only stating my reasons for NOT being an aggressive debator. Hence, the topic! If the topic weren't so silly, the discussion would be on 'comfort zone' rather than on me.๐ Also, which posts are you refering to? I barely post in here. I don't remember saying anything intelligent.๐ But thank you for the compliment.๐ณ
Souro, if I can praise you for your articulate and rational thoughts... I can criticize as well. I have noticed that you often assume what others might be thinking or what their thought process is behind certain talks. Now, why and from where do you infer that I dont' say much thinking what others will say?
YOu don't know me souro ....once I start blabbering, I am hard to stop, and very impulsive ... so, I say what I have to say if something is not to my liking. It's different that my heart sinks thinking I might have said something which I shouldn't have.
Anywho, as far as debating is concerned ... I do not feel strongly for anything other than human values anymore. I have argued with a certain somebody beyond limits, with a goal of wanting to understand why it was so difficult to come to a mutual understanding of each others' views. YOu can call me crazy, but I always ended up anguished for not coming to terms with each other. I have finally come to realization that going back and forth on a topic rarely does any good, also dawned on me to just accept another as he or she is and respect their opinion. So, I read, take in what I agree with and whatever appeals to my reasoning or slowly walk backwards if I don't agree.๐ Any of it has nothing to do with me not putting down my opinion thinking what others might think.
I think there are enough of you here .... sometimes, I feel I haven't even a clue to discussions on economy, govt. etc. ... just cause my knowlege about any of it is 'limited'. Enough on me, lets move away from my comfort zone, and talk of if comfort zone does prevent us from making the world our family... caring and sharing๐ ... now that sounds lame, but the concept is really neat.๐
Waiting for somebody's thoughts!๐
Persy
PS. IT is really hard to argue when a person looks at everything from an understanding POV..... taking in positives and negatives of both sides. I don't like to jump the gun .... merely state my observations.๐ณ
