CC This forum is HEAVY of the left-wing side, and I’ll always give an honest perspective regarding each issue. I’m a backstabber of all and a friend to none as I’ll turncoat to anything anyone says that I disagree with. Passion has one great flaw in that it can make people ignore things that disagree with their beliefs, and even go so far as to find people who challenge their beliefs as being some part of an extremist ideology. I openly expose my flaws to see how people react, and for the most part, people utilize this to their advantage. In other words, I gauge their reaction to see how they respond, and for the most part, I’ve seen few on this forum that hasn’t reacted predictably.
You question my sources, I get that, but instead of being so interested in taking a side I’d rather understand and research an opposing view and gain a better understanding as to their conclusions, and then agree or disagree with that conclusion. The problem with being smart and grasping concepts so easily (from what I’ve seen time and again) is that you get lazy and arrogant. I completely understand how this can happen. First off, you learn quickly so you find aside to take on any issues. Then you research that ONE side over and over again so as to fortify your position within that issue. Now what you’ve done is entrenched yourself within that one concept deep within your own personal ego. NOW, any challenge to such an issue becomes a challenge to your ego because you’ve allowed your ego and the issue to become one. You no longer are able to balance yourself to better information. Your goal is to defend your ego/issue.
From here what I post to you as evidence won’t matter to you. You’ve already resolved in your mind what is true, and what is not. When beliefs are tied so closely to a person’s ego there is not letting go. I’m not threatened by exposing my weaknesses, but apparently, no one else here is so willing to admit they have any. I have flaws, but at least I’m not threatened by them.
Write4U I give you this shout-out. I see how you handle things publicly, and at least for whatever it matters you really proved that you’re more about holding back your emotions looking at issues outside of your own beliefs. I’m most likely the last person you care to get any support from, but at this point, it isn’t about you. It’s completely about my finding someone who gives me hope in the direction of humanity.
Edit
Oh Gawd I remember!
It’s been a long while since my elementary school days from hearing this, but I was diagnosed as being “Learning Disabled”. It’s an ambiguous term, to say the least, but to their defense how can any school district explain why some students fail while others exceed. It’s for the same reason why I couldn’t blame Mriana for challenging me on my memory on things that I clearly remember vs things that I seemingly forget.
I’m asking this forum on the fly how I can get old records from some 40 years back in my elementary schools years. Is it possible? In elementary school K-5, I spent my life in Special Education. In Junior high school 6-8th grade, I continued through special ed. In all my years of High School, I was in special ed. and in some modified classes. I graduated being pushed through when I was 19 years old, and worse yet, it was in a district of kids born in successful families. I grew up in Ranch Palos Verdes California.
So outside of all that, I wanted to redefine myself and figure out the best way that I can learn the world around me. It took a long while, but I came to understand that I had to learn things in their components. I’ll never pick things up easily, so I have to put more focus on each aspect of the total sum. The rest of my life is Shistory. I’m not a woman so I can’t play the victim card being flourished by the love of humanity. No, there is just me, and how I deal with shit. I’ve been here many times before so I learned not to get so emotionally involved in what others think of me. I’m not here on this forum for guilt. I’m here strictly to learn something that I don’t know, and if it takes grammatical errors on my part to entertain you, them I guess to say that it’s your own journey in life, not mine.
