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.

No, I didn't think he was passing judgement on me. He was, however,
passing judgement on Don.


I was passing judgement on people who have no ambition in life. If you
think that that describes Don, then it's you who is passing judgement.


Uh, no you weren't. You didn't even mention ambition. Don said maybe
you should think smaller, and you immediately said thinking smaller is
for the unmotivated in life.
