Zero argument from me on that one.

Honestly, it really rattled me. I feel like I wasted the entire 1980s and didn't learn a single thing.

How old were you in the 80s?

I ask because from 1980-89 I was in high school, mission, college and starting my career. What better ages are there to absorb the culture of a decade?

That may be my advantage.

I chose speaks volumes because "speaks with their heads up their butts wasn't available."

What creekster said. It's about you trying to gauge what folks here think of you, how your support for an issue or individual affects what people think.

What a joyous day it will be, hopefully not to far in the future, when you will stand before us and shout, "You like me, you really like me!"

Then perhaps we can put this all to rest.

I'm on a selfless errand. David Hume said you can't make progress curing religious people of their disease if in trying to do so you make them dislike you.

Obviously, the internalization process of that helpful tidbit is in its pre-infancy.

Yes, it's called "establishing a relationship of trust."

Your selflessness is inspiring, especially at this time of year.
