Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Pathologies and you get what you give

I don't mind making an unpopular stand if that's what I feel is right. I have learned that many won't do that. That makes the majority in dis-agreement against that person by definition, which puts you in the crosshairs, especially on an internet forum were there is low accountability for a post. In person things tend to smooth out because there is more "accountability" if you will.

Internet forums are run amok. You would kind of expect it on a site like Democratic Underground, but does it concern you at all that so called conservatives seem so intent on character assassination rather than reasoning a topic thru? Again, not to harp on it, but it's straight out of Saul Alinsky. It's the enemy of the voice of reason!

You guys need to leave 'Ballz alone.

If you spent your whole adult life collecting Savages, you'd be pissed off too.

You say one thing then do another, yet it's all everyone else?

Think I'll make me a roast beef & cheese sandwich

I already know what the responses will be, so I'm checking out. Not interested in being involved, just cleared the air on a feel good but inaccurate statement.

Aces and Eights post.

The rest.

Which one(s) is/are logical responses, and which ones are nothing more than disparaging remarks about character?

Go ahead, take your time.

I am one man responding to a whole bunch of others, so I'm pretty sure there are going to be a disproportionate number from me, if you think about it.

This thread's not going the way I want. I'm out of here you guys will just continue being idiots.

Did I miss anything?

This is the second post on your own thread. Apparently you have'nt checked out yet...
It's no wonder to me why you seem to catch so much schit, your begging for it. Hell you can't leave it alone until you get it.
This is a friggin inter web site. Why make more out of it than what it is? It damn sure ain't the moral compass to me.
These forums are like a whack-a-mole game, play around with it till you get tired of it a move on. It damn sure not worth the heart-ache your investing in it.

"You get what you give". No, not really.

If you've ever raised children, you know they aren't all the same. Some respond to kindness and give little trouble, always eager to please, get good grades. Some require harsh discipline and are a constant struggle, in trouble alot, in and out of jail when older, alcoholics, whatever. Same parents, same opportunities, different people.

If you "Get what you give", why are criminals breaking into homes and beating up 90 year old women? Why are women raped? Why are people murdered? Because they first murdered someone?

The truth is while an act of kindness often begets an act of kindness, often people get nothing that they've given. In this life there will be trouble, and it is most often not in direct response to trouble that was first given, it just happens.

When people do bad things to someone, it often has nothing to do with some bad thing you first did to them. The truth is there are people with pathologies that either prey on other people opportunistically or deliberately.

And for Charlie, I noticed your thread by the name "You get what you give". In it you say you said nice things about me but it fell on deaf ears. Did it? I thanked you for them. I'm not sure why you say "It fell on deaf ears", because it did not.

Another example of you do not always get what you give.
