Default It's not fuel prices that's going to kill the boat market

Think small

No thanks. Thinking small is for the unmotivated in life.

You think that because someone has a boat that they really like,
although it may be smaller than yours is "unmotivated"? Do you think
that just because someone isn't financially overextended is
"unmotivated"? I think that people who overextend just for appearances
are fools.

bk, do you think that NOYB was trying to be controversial in his statement?
Maybe he was just saying how *he* feels about life, and not passing any
judgements on others.

Why the attacks?

It's a nice Sunday...chill out.

No, John, he certainly was, and always has, passed judgements on
others.


I'm discussing only the post you responded to, not the past few years.

I'm surprised that you'd take a philosophical comment like, "Thinking small
is for the unmotivated in life" as a personal attack or the passing of
judgement on you.

Since I was the one who advised to "think small", I thought NOYB was
jabbing at me. Maybe I should have said 'think modestly'.
Obviously some here have no need to even consider that, but I stand by
my common sense advice.



Nah. He came back with a bit of philosophy to counteract the bit you gave
him. He's already bought his boat, so 'thinking small' wouldn't work for
this one anyway. Thinking small is what I'm doing for my *next* boat -
maybe a 17-18'er.

There may be hope for you after all. Now if you'd look at a nice
sensible Lexus instead of an impractical Porsche...
