A friend of mine sent this picture today after we talked a bit on this topic... and he may well be right... I think I shall print and frame this and keep it on my office desk as a reminder to just keep saying to everyone "You are right"

I just can't be bothered interacting with such negative people and haters.....a waste of time.

We live in a time where the smart keep quiet so as not to offend the stupid. Because if they focus on you, and they always perform in a pack, they will try to discredit you in every possible way, assuming the role of the victim, projecting on you everything that they are. Wow - Talk about hitting the nail on the head! Bravo ... I think this is what you should frame because, well - You're Right! Make Women Female Again

Ex I think the cartoon say it all! Sadly , there are many people to whom this applies! A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. George Bernard Shaw Jenny

I agree with you, entirely, Ex! Have you pondered what it is that has caused this change in 'behavior' within society as a whole? I often wonder how this has come about, where the attacking, pack mentality has arisen from...I have GENERALLY followed the suggestion of the late, GREAT American 'philosopher' and Southern troubadour, Jimmy Buffett, when he wrote and sang, 'I'm just tryin' to get by bein' quiet and shy, i a world full of pushin' and shove!'...from the song, 'The Wino and I Know' 1974 'Livin' and Dyin' in 3/4 Time' Album

We live in a time when truth an honesty are no longer absolute, but are measurable. Where integrity and morality are no longer needed to be elected to lead a nation. We can put a man on the moon, but we can't elect an honest, moral, forthright president, congressmen or senator!! We live in a time when going to church makes you more ethical than how you treat your neighbor. Sleek, ersatz, airbrushed leadership has replaced authenticity as a desirable quality.

It's all about "culture" - the thousand things we do - or used to do - without thinking. These were "The Rules of Life." You learned the Rules of Life at home, but they were reinforced within your community - in schools, in church, in "public service announcements" sponsored by both governments and NGOs, through the press, radio and television. The simple act of Knowing How to Behave in Public is now a lost art. It starts with things like not holding the door for the person behind you, or not offering to give up your seat to a lady of any age. We commonly see people lose their minds and fly into a rage when faced with the slightest bit of frustration. A few weeks ago, my daughter and some of her friends went to a concert at a large venue, and another mid-20s woman sitting near them just peed on the floor - several times - rather than get out of her seat to go the bathroom. I mean, c'mon...

Our government school system changed a basic but mind changing, and attitude changing by teaching, I, YOLO, instead of WE.

I like the post Ex, and it definitely gives the reader something to think about, BUT, I am NOT going to give these Cretins any credit for anything, because I have worked too hard and too long for what I have, and that includes the intellectual property/knowledge, the interpersonal skills, and the materialistic items PLUS my friends. I operate with ethics and morals and try to treat people with manners, and this has worked quite well for me for all these years, and I am not about to change now. I AM ME and as an outsider you will either like me or you won't, you will either respect me or you won't. Liking me is your decision not mine and respecting me is my decision in the way I treat you and whether you will return that treatment or not. I am not going to lose sleep over it, society can not punish me by taking away my birthday or giving me a label I refuse to acknowledge and accept. So if someone wants to treat me in the ways you have noted, then that becomes their problem not mine. I live life relatively stress free, I have many people I class as friends, I have thousands of people who respect me, and I have INTEGRITY. If we withdraw from life and let these selfish people try to govern us/ stand over us/ belittle us then we are giving them even more power, power that they do not deserve. And from this, they will just become greater in number if we do not stand up.

This Vulcan, he has no idea... Is your neighbor Bosnian, do you like him and what does your family say about it? Do you like Putin's boots? Thoughts and prejudices that build up immediately! I was born in Romania, my father was Hungarian and my mother was German! I think of the families in Russia and Ukraine that are mixed! This Vulcan has no idea!!!

A very good writing, indeed, Ex. I am from the; You are right, school too. Dont argue with stupid, prejeduced people. With all their judging you, they are also judging themselfs, but are not even aware of that.... Most of the time, very insecure, to judge others.. about almost anything.. waste of time, let go... Being authentic is a threat for those. wont bother trying to teach others some manners, common sense and all those old ways... or so it seems... Just stay as far away as possible, from those...ignore, block, mentally, and move on.

I watched it evolve in various positions I held over the years. Interacting with the public you see how it evolves , not just in younger generations but in older too. American society and probably the while world has been changed by the use of the internet and the constant connection with devices such as the so called Smart phone. The bulk of society is becoming self centered. Thankfully, some of us have a sense of community. Respect was a corner stone in this community. Not so much anymore. It went both ways. I left a response to you in my private blog, not sure if you read it. "One Big Sky Covers Us All Equally"

I totally agree with what you've posted.. sad times indeed that we are living through! Are we witnessing the end of life as we've know it.. sometimes it seems so! Sometimes it seems as though societal norms are being totally disregard in favor of rampant nonsensical noise!

I laugh at how you try to discredit those democracies with your cries about "The simple act of Knowing How to Behave in Public is now a lost art. It starts with things like not holding the door for the person behind you, or not offering to give up your seat to a lady of any age." in which you had fought for this some years before. Does the grape is sour? PATHETIC PEOPLE! THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED, NOW, YOU RECEIVED IT, EAT IT FULLY! DIDN'T YOU OVEREMPHASIZED HUMAN RIGHTS WITHOUT OBLIGATIONS, DIDN'T YOU PUMPED UP THOSE EGOES WHO OVERGROWN YOU IN THE NAME OF FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION? IF NOT, WHO ELSE?

My experience is that those people demand public decency who are not willing to be decent publicly.

ExNameForUse replies on 2/11/2024 2:21 am: It has been a tough week in the office and my post summed up my thoughts from this past week... I believe that withdrawing is not the way to go, at least not before you put them in their place, not in any rude manner, but simply drawing the line and saying enough is enough... I am also labeled as a person of integrity, both in my professional and private life and it is something I feel very proud of. It has cost me a lot, but I am convinced it is the only way to live your life. That applies to situations I wrote here as well... you can fool me around as much as you want, insult me, or degrade me... but not as long as you want... The problem is that I hate when I have to tell someone... hey, you are crossing the line of simple decency because for me it is something that should be naturally given or taught at home in their early days... Ex I also am proud of my Integrity. It is great to be able to look in the mirror of a morning and know that whoever calls on me for whatever reason will get total support and effort so long as they are being respectful and real with their needs. And yes dear lady, they should have been taught about being respectful and the use of manners as a child at home. I would hate to see how the offspring of these people grow and learn.

Our government school system changed a basic but mind changing, and attitude changing by teaching, I, YOLO, instead of WE. And it is not only the school system that is changing the mindset but everything that is also available as a source of information or interaction... it has all gone too far. Look at the music.. Led Zeppelin 1975 When mountains crumble to the sea there will still be you and me Kind woman I give you my all, kind woman, nothing more Nicki Minja 2012 you a stupid hoe, you a, you a stupid hoe

You meet mediocrity, everywhere, and they come in packs, alas. Sometimes, you need to act rude, act like they do, because that is the only way, they understand what you are saying. meet them, on their level, so to say... And by doing so, put them in their place. Make a statement. I dont know if that is good for the overall mentallity on the workfloor? But, maybe keep you out of their target games...? Meet them, on their own emotional level, 'intelligence' level.....?

I understand, that sometimes, it looks smart to not get into a confrontation, with such a pack mentality...., and maybe it is? It is your character too... You are much more nice, to others, then i am. They never have the benefit of the doubt, with me! !! hahahahah I am a figther, surviver, in an other way, then you are, too. So i go full force, when needed, to put some people in there place, and make known, i dont take shit from anyone, no matter what. You just have to find your way, of dealing with those folks, my way is my way, you have your own power to handle this, in YOUR way. I know you can! Sometimes, being blunt helps, sometimes being over, Icy polite helps too... You will never fit the pack, so that is a fact, you have to deal with, accept. and make you strategy on that... if you feel the need to do that....

I once heard "NO" is a complete sentence. <<<Read That Again. XX "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”
