I agree.
Chop wood, carry water.

And you claim to be godly and walk in his steps.  God would never treat his fellow man the way you do. Remember:  “that you do unto the least of my brethren you do unto me.” I run from religious zealots like you who preach one thing and do another.

P: When you send in your union goons to put pressure on some business to knuckle under to your demands, do you follow that scripture?  I doubt it.  When you spew hate at those who disagree with you, do you follow that scripture? I doubt it.  Thou art a hypocrite.  Shame on you for attacking the religion of another!

If you don’t know by now, don’t mess with it.

Oh Puleeze, r108, How dare I point out his religious hypocrisy?  I dare and will continue to do so, just like I point out your lies.  Live with it!

Since you are the liar, it is probably futile to point out that by pointing to the hypocrisy of Gene, and using religious justification for it, you are illustrating your own hypocrisy.  Do you really feel that concern for others when you are forcing unionism on some employer?  I doubt it.  When you are spewing hate at me or Gene, are you mindful of your professed concern for others? I doubt it. When you judge Gene, do you realize that you are being judged yourself?  I doubt it.

If you don’t know by now, don’t mess with it.

P: BTW, I don’t consider Gene to be a hypocrite; I consider him human, and courageous to confess to his own human imperfection.  Since you must be perfect, perhaps you could exhibit a little compassion from your superior and lofty perch to some poor human wretch, but no.  Your self-righteous, holier-than-thou attitude comes from pure hatred.  Shame on you!

If you don’t know by now, don’t mess with it.

Gene,

Actually, this rant of yours is kind of the same thing. Complaining is equally irritating. But I didn’t come here to pick on you but I do disagree with one of your conclusions.

You state that you blame a lack of discipline and lazy parents. I disagree. I have three children. Two of them are adopted. One of my children falls under the hyper definition that you mention. The other two do not. We raised all our children the same and trust me, we are not lazy parents. In fact, my wife’s nick name is “Guido the Enforcer” if that gives you any hint of her style.

That being said, I think genetics plays a stronger role in this behavior than parenting.
Environment only reinforces existing personality traits, positively or negatively.

R108, following the law of this country only applies to righties like you.  You get to decide what laws are righteous and which ones aren’t. 

Why do you hate Americans so much R108?  Obviously you are the only one entitled to give your righteous blessings on other’s opinions. 

You lie when some one disagrees with you and defend your buddies’s lies as well.  I don’t ever expect honor or compassion from you or your buddies who claim the Lord is on their side. 

Sorry, once again, I run from religious zealots and righties like you who tell everyone they are wrong and you are right always.  Please carry on.

P:  “R108, following the law of this country only applies to righties like you.What law are you talking about?  Gene was expressing his opinion about hyper people. You get to decide what laws are righteous and which ones aren’t.Again, you lie.  I said no such thing.

Why do you hate Americans so much R108?The only Americans I hate are the ones who aid the terrorists by undermining the President. Obviously you are the only one entitled to give your righteous blessings on other’s opinions.Another lie.  I said no such thing.  I give my opinion, just like you gave yours about Gene.

You lie when some one disagrees with you and defend your buddies’s lies as well.Name one lie.  Gene wasn’t lying; he was telling the truth about the way he feels and the way he acts toward hyper people.  Get over yourself. I don’t ever expect honor or compassion from you or your buddies who claim the Lord is on their side.Again you lie.  I never said any such thing.  I just called you on your self-righteous judgementalism.

Sorry, once again, I run from religious zealots and righties like you who tell everyone they are wrong and you are right always.I am neither a religious zealot nor a “rightie”.  Two lies there. Please carry on.”
Thank you; I will.

If you don’t know by now, don’t mess with it.

Sorry Gene, what did you say?

That was fun. Now to topic. In many cases you are right, Gene. I see this quite often, and do not deal with it. Explain something once. Move on to the next item. Another behavior I do not put up with is people constantly saying"huh?" when you speak to them in a normal tone of voice. You have an actual hearing problem, OK. I will take the necessary action to ensure you hear what I say. We are in a high background sound location, ditto. You consistently don’t pay attention, or, my real favorite, you think it is funny to make people repeat themselves, I stop talking to you. And it works.

Actually, Puzzle is right.  I am kind of a hard case.  “Mean Gene” they used to call me.  Still do I guess. 

You (I) can repent of a great deal, just not my DNA.

I am who I was made of.  So, if I’m a little bit hard core its as it is. 

The kind of ministry I do is mostly in the office of the Prophet.  That has far less to do with telling you about what will happen next month and telling people what God says about them.  That’s mostly positive unless it’s not.

I stand in the mold of Old Testement Prophets who really irritated the Kings of the day.  I still do.

Sometimes I don’t like that about the gift I carry.  I wish I were more Pastorlike.  I’m not. My purpose seems to be to call people as they must be called.  That doesn’t always make me popular. 

In fact I scare the heck out of people.  They think I can see inside them.  I can’t (always). 

But, Puzzle is right.  Even Jesus called the hypocrite Pharisies Snakes and vipers. 

Not exactly nicey nicey.

Our view of Jesus needs fine tuning.

Gene: No beheading or stoning, though.  Right?

An Amazing Update.

Yesterday Tuesday I get a call from the Pastor Friend I mention.

He’s calling to talk policy in his fellowship, he has another cell phone which rings 3 times while he’s talking to me and trying to drive, the radio is blaring and he’s reading a map. 

Needless to say I didn’t have his undivided attention although I tried to give him mine.

And he kept saying, “Sorry Gene” when he would force me to listen to someone elses conversation on the other phone.  Then he had the audacity to say, “what were we talking about?”. 

He had forgotten.  And, HE CALLED ME.

That gives you a clue as to how important he thinks I am.  How much he values our “friendship”.  I pity his parish.

Remember this all happens when he calls ME.  I’m not angry, it’s just an example.

And believe me, this kind of self importance will be the death of him. 

I will not be treated pejoratively. Frankly these inattentive self centered people think they are being caring.  One of them said to me once after a particualrly bad row with another person, “But Gene, I’m the most caring person I know”.  I had to contain myself.

So, Beheading and Stoning R108?  Not Yet, but some days,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Gene, it seems that this really has nothing to do with ADHD, it has to do with “Respect”. 

It is simply disrespectful to be treated in this manner.  I would simply have said,” I can see you are preoccupied right now so when you pull over, turn the radio off, let the cell phone ring to the mail box, then call me back.”

Gene la Mean, you missed a golden opportunity! You could have taught him a very valuable lesson. Oh, hell, who am I kidding. Sounds like he has not the attention span to learn anything anyway. Carry on, move along, nothing to see here folks. Guy I work with is constantly trying to do EVERYTHING at once. I feel your pain, Gene.
