Not that I'm so great, but yes, indeed, I've seen it here. They don't know how to communicate, or even consider someone else's idea as being somewhat logical...they're right and that's it, and if you challenge them, they insult you in every way. I saw it happen in a recent post...the guy thought, he was an expert, and he didn't know how to discuss the issue...and to boot, he wasn't a kid. He took any other idea that was posted as a great insult to his persona....so he lashed out with name calling, which in his own mind, made him a better person. He could not and is not able to consider anyone else's ideas, or opinions, which so stagnates a person. Yanno, you can possess a masters degree, but there is nothing more valuable then the ability to consider the opinions and ideas of others, not to mention, allow them, and realize, you will never know everything there is to know. You will learn until the day you die, and if you don't, you stagnate not only yourself, but pass that attitude down to your children...and on and on. It is a shame.

Again Creme, I'm in full agreement with your evaluation! Here's a friendship request

I don't mind negative advice on the threads I post I don't always like what they say but I read it and take note of it as I do the positive ones. What I don't like is when you take note and they still go on to criticize. I don't feel at that point they are being helpful and that's what we need is help when we come here. Even when someone critiques you it should be in a manner to help make you or your situation better. But once you have critiqued move on.

I prefer honest validation with a touch of immoral support.

The i want sympathy people.
The I hate everybody people.

The world takes all kinds!

The you haven't read all 5800 posts by me so you don't know, people...lol
to those people I say....when do you have time to be in a relationship, or feed your kids? aybe you could afford your bills if you stopped paying internet and instead got a job?

We are such an enabling society. Most people can easily fix their problems with a little effort. But gosh we love to beat our own drum, don't we? How's that for harsh?
I'm not sure I like this post!!!

I have to agree with you on the way you put it here.. It isnt really a school education we are talking about here.. more like an upbringing education. I have always been told the apple does not fall far from the tree and in my years on this earth, I have seen this to be true.

This starts when they are at home and their parents do not know how to communicate. Now I know, just because your parents do not know how to communicate does not necessarily mean that you wont be able to communicate but as I stated above.. the apple usually doesnt fall far from the tree.

You can write all the college papers in the world, have the highest degree in education, but that still doesn't merit someone's knowledge on the subject or issue. Get a real kick out of someone who says, I wrote a paper on the topic, (so that makes them an expert and knowlegable) I think not. Life experience and moral upbringing along with manners goes a heck of a lot further, plus the ability to allow others.
