This is the thing I (dont) love about you, IDE. This is your schtick....no one should ever apply good, sound judgement to anything or anyone else's actions or they are being holier than thou or judgemental ...so we all get lowered a little bit by degrees...just accepting any kind of behavior in the name of making sure no one is being too high and mighty.
The irony is, I've found most people like this are people who just want their free pass to sin and do whatever they want and dont want anyone telling them they cant or shouldn't so they cant stand it when anyone else calls anybody out on anything, ever. Most of these people have a problem with God but direct their criticisms to man...copout.
You've always wanted your moral standard applied around here but everyone else's standard is wrong or high and mighty.
I dont know who you were responding to but that schtick is so old and tired.
I like plenty about you, your mind, and your views....been agreeing an aweful lot w you lately. But you're the same guy who got all bent out of shape when the subject of Herman and strip clubs came up and some of us didnt like it.
Let me make this real clear.....If a person is so confident and has clear conscience with his or her actions then they shouldnt be very affected by another person's criticism or disagreement with them. And you sure shouldn't either when its not even you being talked about. Life experience tells me most people who are offended are only offended due to their shame or unwillingness to acknowledge the issue... not by the person who is "being so judgemental". If I am confident and have clear conscience about my behavior then there is no reason to be offended by anyone who criticizes.
This is how we got in the mess we are in as a people. We use to challenge each other, hold each other to a standard...now this crap...Don't say anything about anyone or anything ever or you are like..this or that. So we all get a little lower.
OBJ can do whatever he wants..so can you. And I can believe and state my views on it. ....But what we really should be working towards together is what is truth. ...not what makes everybody feel good about themselves. Almost every single great gain I've had in life has come from the humility it requires to hear good sound judgement and reason from persons critiquing my behavior.
I stand by what I said whether it is notpopular, non PC or whatever. It was, in my view, classless, thuggish and inappropriate....like alot of other things I've witnessed around that program. I wasnt trying to just single out OBJ and the money thing. If you want to talk about me, IDE.. I'll be glad to tell you about all my sin, shortcomings. failures, and weaknesses. It may take a while...I'll warn you. You'll have to tell me about my blindspots, though...and I will gladly listen. I'm not too high and mighty to. Trust me. But are you??
