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. As I said before, that's all he does here is
pass judgement on others.


OK, you stated your opinion. My opinion is different. In either case,
they're both opinions.

NOYB has talked of his practice, his house, his boat, his insurance, his
fishing, his finances, and his politics, among other things. None of that
is 'passing judgement', so to say that's *all* he does here wouldn't be
quite truthful, would it?


It would be darned close. Take a look. You'll see that almost all of
his posts, whether he's talking about any of the above or not, end up
with him passing judgement on someone.


No, I don't see that at all. But, maybe I'm not looking for things to fight
about.
