Default November 12th - Becalmed, bothered and bewildered (another riff on another song) and other last-ditch efforts

Right, there's the caring, community minded attitude that we love in our
fellow cruisers. What an arrogant response Wilbur.

Glenn.



Am I the only person it has occurred to that it only takes a community if
you are a dependent wimp who either never had what it takes to be a man or
who had it once upon a time but lost it via this sick, liberal dependence
on "the community?" Whatever happened to a man standing on his own two
feet?

Arrogance is a proper attribute of a real man. One is arrogant because one
is strong and knows he has what it takes to succeed and lives life
accordingly and recognizes the weakness that causes lesser men to tuck
tail and run without making a stand. Those who decry arrogance, or any
other manly virtue for that matter, are girly-men who have a liberal bent
which bent is all about the self-imposed emasculation. Such as these do
not have what it takes and they know it. To feel better about themselves,
instead of trying to improve their own lot and becoming more manly, they
attempt dress in panties and skirts those who exhibit manly attributes.

I shall have none of it!

Wilbur Hubbard


You write an interesting response Wilbur. Facinating that you see personal
arrogance & lashing out at others as virtues to be valued. Most, Wilbur,
see these actions and attributes as those of one with a weak character &
no-doubt shows a man who sees himself as lacking & afraid that others will
discover it. It is a weak man who is never able to admit any shortcomings &
the sign of a real man who is confident enough that he is willing to show
some of his flaws.

Glenn.


Dizzy Dean once said, "it ain't bragging is you can do it", but Wilbur
can't do it....
