WWTBAM Bored

Rather than hijack Pea's Whose God thread I've moved this over here, only because it doesn't address what the thread was addressing, so if anyone wants to continue here...

Plus, isn't it a given that when one expresses an opinion that it is "yours"? Is it truly necessary to add "I think" or "I believe" or IMHO? Obviously, unless you're talking about someone else's statement, it's what YOU believe. It's sorta already in there.
It helps. It's the difference between acknowledging and failing to acknowledge the possibility, however unlikely, that you might be wrong. TLITF is willing to acknowledge that possibility. Tocque is not. --Bob



You forgot to insert "I think that Tocque..." And, I disagree with you because how do you know? And, if you truly believe something then stand up for it. I really don't understand waffling on everything. Maybe that's my point. Waffling goes only so far.
There's a difference between waffling and being open to further evidence.

I conclude with very high confidence that Tocque is unwilling to acknowledge the possibility that she might be wrong (on this subject) because she pretty much said so. I don't see any other way to interpret the words that TLITF quoted. But if further evidence developed -- say, other posts that I haven't seen in which Tocque expressed some uncertainty on the subject -- I'd be willing to change my mind. That's not waffling. That's being open to evidence. --Bob


I understand what you're saying. However, I still say "So what?" There are plenty of subjects about which we all expound and upon which we have definite opinions. I know that I'm always questioning stuff I may or may not believe, think, etc. but I don't feel it's necessary to put that modification in every statement I make. You're making a value judgment that someone is "wrong" if they don't entertain the possibility that they're "wrong" and elucidate that in the post. That's no different than saying "Well, I'm saying that this is what I think, but, if it's going to offend someone, then I can make myself feel better, and a "bigger person", by qualifying what I just said and lessen the impact of what I said I believed."

I think (I know, I just said that) that is wrong, too.

oops.

If I choose the beat the dead horse anymore then I will do it here.

KABOOM!!!!

Nah. I was just arguing, or "discussing" the need for constantly adding extraneous bullshit when stating an opinion. An opinion or belief is quite obvious once it's expressed.

I sense that that was an opinion. Opinions are on aisle 10.

Big J has developed a fixation with "debonair" and pleaded for a fedora.

You could try the other alternative, you know, instead of food. Then it wouldn't be so boring to make the kids' lunches.

I just don't want to debate religion anymore tonight. Yes, I know. We were right in the middle of a good arguement.

Is this what gratuity is?

I could put some bricks in their little lunch pails. Heh. That would be classic. I'd love to be a fly on the wall of the cafeteria when they opened their lunches and saw a brick in there.

Or you could make them make their own lunches....well how old are they I can't really tell from the pics, so I can't say with certainty...

But if you do wish to go that road feel free to blame me and then if they choose to come to New York and exact their rightful revenge on me then so be it...

Just sayin'

Guilty of using the IMO in the Whose God thread. I'll do better next time.

No, thanks.

You knows it's become a Bored game to search through the threads every time you change an avatar, looking for the motivation for the latest one. Usually, you find new ones instead of recycling, though.

LOL - you think the avatar gives you the right to use the phrase!

You may use it, no matter what avatar you have.

I am generous that way.
