Hmmmm ..... I know you's not talkin' about me!

What I love about having a degree in behavioral sciences is that I have learned how to be neutral and objective. If I'm wrong I'll say it. And I only post in threads where I can give a reasonable answer.

Yes!! See, you are wiser for it! We learn more from listening than we do from talking...have you ever read The Art of War by Sun Tzu?? There is a theory that "Silence is Golden"...I love it!

Me too. I don't post in threads where I know nothing about the subject (e.g. interracial dating, and all those "guys only" threads)

I sure learn a lot reading some of those threads though.
