I do it for the reasons stated in my first paragraph, above. I have a couple of hobbies, and other leisure activities, but that's what they are...leisure time activities, not my life. That is just sad. Your life is work? You don't seem to get it. I like what I do. In many cases, my work helps people who really need help, in this country and abroad, in sustainable development, delivering reliable potable water, worker training, worker rights, et cetera, in underdeveloped nations. I also get to meet and work with interesting people in a number of fields of endeavor, including business, labor, the fine arts, music, theater, and movies. I get to wear a suit and tie if I want. I get to travel to interesting places on someone else's dime. I get paid nicely for this, and get to produce interesting deliverables. To me, that's a lot more interesting and a lot more fun than flying model airplanes, playing golf, RV'ing, et cetera. To each his own. To each his own is right. Many people who work or volunteer their time and efforts to support humanitarian causes are respected and even admired. However when you constantly ridicule, mock and taunt people because they have interests that you don't share or because they desire to enjoy their hard won retirement years pursuing endeavors that don't interest you, any respect you may think you have earned goes out the window. This is rec.boats. I'm just trying to fit in as much as my digestive track allows with the right-wing slime whose almost entire reason for existence here is to ridicule, mock, and taunt. Fortunately, my digestive track doesn't allow much of that, so I simply send most of those righties straight to the filter and septic tank system without reading their excrement. Interesting conclusion on your part Harry. When I review posts in rec.boats I see a lot of banter going on among those with whom you politically disagree but I see very little displays of ridicule, mock and taunt except to one person. You. The rest of the newsgroup basically gets along and respects the various interests, hobbies, stations in life of others. You seem to be the main target of any negative posts. I get thrown in once in a while primarily because I will discuss an issue with you. So why are people in the newsgroup who represent all walks of life and interests almost universally have disdain for basically one person and the comments he makes? The only other person I know who shares that disdain is slammer. Most of the other non-righties long ago deserted this sinking ship. I don't buy into the right-wing outlook on race, gender, or corporationism uber alles. |
