They're not tricky. > Let's see if you have the courage of your "convictions"... ### - am not playing this game thang, we've done/been-over all this 10 times already and covered just about every possible point, and you're not 'open' to debate on 'any' of the issues mentioned, so there's no point except arguing for the sake of just arguing, and i don't do that, it's boring... >>>>> So, speak soon yeah? >>>> >>>> ### - so you're in a chatty mood today eh?

There is a > difference in assets, net worth, etc etc, I guess, but putting that > aside, the little basement dwelling prick was rather cheeky, don't you > think? ### - yes he was clearly being cheeky hehe, and that's what made me laff, his 'winks' and smiles giving his game away... your reaction though was a riot haha, almost the perfect patsy/straightman in a comedy double act... all you heard and saw was: yourself ;) >> from my pov, however, there was quite a lot of humour in his words, and >> even a wink or 2? > > Fuck off Brian. You've lost touch with reality mate ### - smile, and you've never been in-touch with it (reality) since the off sport, have tried to bring you into 'some' of it but mostly to no avail, you only ever hear your own opinion, an ostensibly uninformed and incomplete one afaic, refusing to hear/debate anything to the contrary in a reasonable enough manner to actually get anywhere, so there's really no point right? > >> >> i, however, picked-up on the death/dying side of his remarks, and >> enlarged >> it heh, thus making it into an invitation to come back at me about it in >> some, perhaps even more revealing about him, way, got it? > > Good lord... ### - am simply telling you what i actually thought & did and comparing it to what you thought & did... obviously am operating from a pov that's alien to you and/or beyond your ken even when it's spelled out to you, well that not my problem, that's your problem... >> i mean, ya can't seriously take any notice of the masks people wear? >> there >> may indeed be some clues to their inner person depending on their choice >> of mask, but it's not about the mask, right? >> >> iow: old slider, ignoring his act, surreptitiously/indirectly invited >> the >> newbie to further conversation (a rather emotive one yes, one ultimately >> involving life, the universe & everything depending on just how far he's >> prepared to run with it, and this on myu part quite deliberately so) >> >> you, otoh lol, just threw the fucker out before he'd even taken off his >> hat ffs, and now we'll prolly never know who he was or what he was >> really >> about, you didn't bother to find out... > > Lol, I'd like him to say that to me in real life. That would be funny > for me, not so funny for him ### - well, whoever he was, perhaps he knew what your reaction would likely be and you walked straight into it unable to parry the blow, me otoh danced around it so it didn't even touch me and as such was able to come back with something more than just exploding into violence haha: your ultimate solution to everything you don't/can't understand is to foam at the mouth :) > >> >> i mean, what kinda really fucked up way is THAT to answer the door bell >> for cryin' out loud?? (really laughing) > > Really laughing? I've heard your soft, whispery voice on a youtube > video a year or so ago, can't imagine laughter coming out of that, > especially "really laughing" lol ### - roaring laughter actually haha, your reaction being like a punchline to a joke... i mean, if a 'pitbull' was needed in this place to answer the door you'd defo fit the bill haha, only it ain't needed see? not when there's things like intelligence instead heh ;) > > It sounds like the voice of a panty sniffer haha (just joking old > soap)... ### - what was all that 'stuff' about ad hominems? (riiiight...) now you're just being childish... >> maybe next time then you'll wait... and dig around a little in their >> head >> first before giving them their marching orders? and if it turns out to >> be >> a creep or whatever then we could have still had a little fun with it, >> maybe even help it some if it was someone in pain, who knows! but we'll >> never know about him now huh coz you blew it ;) > > > That's like someone getting punched in the head and being asked to > wait around for the next punch in the head to see if you can have some > fun with it all. Have you ever really properly lived, Brian? ### - you don't walk around this planet for near 70 years and not learn a thing or 3 about reality thang, not unless you're willfully blind or obtuse, people take swings at me all the time (like right now for example lol) but i can parry the blows see? they hit only air, unless of course they're like you who'll find some 'actual' way to lash out and cause harm by doxxing people and shit, that being the only real crime you've ever committed here beyond behaving like an idiot, matey just dropping a bunch of words was all, gaslighting us etc, and well we're all totally used to that huh, it just bounces off... although it clearly didn't just bounce off of you hehe, you exploded lol he gotcha! :))) >>>> or maybe you're just gettin' old and more mellow in your dotage eh? >>>> (yeah >>>> riiight...) > > No dotage here mate. Just a strong old bastard still doing his > weights squats etc, and got a dog now too, a pit bull lol ### - well they say dog owners end up looking like their dogs don't they haha, thus a pitbull suits you, just pray then it doesn't lose it's temper like you do and chew your fuckin' arm off lol :)))) do you really feel 'that' insecure' you now require a pitbul?? you must be getting paranoid in your dotage or something huh... >>> Nope. Getting pretty angry at all the stupidity I see and encounter >>> and less tolerant the older I get. So much stupidity, so little >>> common sense. No one stands up to the bullshit we are surrounded >>> with. But I do. >> >> ### - yeah, i know you do... but where does it ever really get you, >> right? >> it's not a working solution i mean... > > It sure is.

A shining light which others are compelled to follow, at least > when I write. ### - am talking about your violence and violent reactions to nonsense thang, nothing else, coz it doesn't actually solve anything worthwhile... being humiliated as a child has made you mean is all, has soured your whole outlook to the point of becoming increasingly intolerant (i asked you what was up with you and that's what you've told me: that it's becoming harder to cope with this world) > >> >> that in that sense you're only really beating yourself up every time you >> allow it all to get to you > > Nothing gets to me. I deal with whatever needs to be dealt with, > rationally and optimally. ### - lol you SAY that, but that's NOT at all how you reacted to someone's provoking remarks?? >> what am saying, is that there's ways to handle these things, call them >> workarounds then, the truth being that no one escapes having to deal >> with >> all that too, some just better than others, many worse, the main thing >> being to find a way to deal with it before ya just blow a gasket of >> summat, ya know? > > We call it a foofer valve in Australia, not a gasket.

Argue. > Answer my questions. > > Betcha ya don't 'cos that will be a loss of face. ### - as i've already repeated, many times, you already know what my answers will be, and why (because have explained it all in fine detail before), so unless YOU'VE got summat different to say to your usual hatred & bile am just not interested, there's nada new in your opinion that i haven't already heard 100 times, and it's all utterly boring and lame because i already know what your reactions & subsequent comments/remark will be, and afaic they're not even valid or have any depth, or even any reality to them! > >> >> ain't saying all this just to be mean btw, i'm not mean, and i don't >> have >> an axe to grind either even though the way we see/view the world is >> quite >> similar... it IS a stupid shithole full of total arseholes and morons - >> hello our fellow man lol - and yes they ain't up to much either! they've >> got a 'few' brains scattered among them out there but they're very few >> and >> far between, the rest don't know their arms from their arsehole and are >> actually like little delinquent kids running around just trying to fend >> for themselves, no parents, teachers, nada, certainly not enough anyway! > > You're not mean, you're bitter and probably very very jealous. And > quite passive aggressive. ### - whatever you say sport, there's just no point in arguing/debating with someone who has a completely fixed & closed pov/mind. > >> >> and coz it could all be sooo much better, ya know? >> >> but currently it just isn't, and even teeters on the brink of >> destructions >> sometimes, the whole thing is actually rather tenuous and shaky , one >> slip >> and they'll lose the lot, and they've already come close to it a few >> times! >> >> a betting man would prolly give very low odds on them surviving, even >> despite all their hopes & dreams about exploring the stars they're >> prolly >> just too stupid to survive and have only been lucky so far! >> >> >> >> >>>> so c'mon, out with it sport, what's happened? you can't fool old >>>> slider >>>> ya >>>> know, he notices little changes in things (and thangs), so what's >>>> really >>>> on your mind? >>> >>> Well, to be completly frank, I was hoping to elicit some response from >>> those two clowns Chris and Dave.

Shame on them. ### - that's 'their' problem... you have your OWN problems and you're not dealing with them very well, you're becoming bitter and twisted and pointing your finger at others accusing THEM of becoming bitter & twisted and don't see the connection? well i do see it... > >> >> when you're dealing with sassy human beings ya have to be a bit crafty >> see? and because if you wait long enough and keep interacting you'll get >> peeks into and beneath their surface act, get it? > > Says the man who lives alone, doesn't care about his daughter even > though she's in the same city, has no physical relationships > whatsoever, just on line stuff...is that how you deal with human > beings? ### - you have no idea (except in your head) of what i do/don't do, am currently repairing an old one armed bandit for a customer, for example, it's something am quite good at because it's only simple like the workings of a big clock, it looks pretty complicated but like most things it's not, it's just a simple mechanism designed to only work one way and as such is easily manipulated/repaired, it's only in other people's minds that it's something difficult... just like our conversations are (if you can call them that exactly heh) > >> >> that in order to do so effectively one perforce also has to put-on an >> act, >> albeit in our case we 'know' it's only an act hehe, thus the advantage, >> it's easy really, you just have to hold yourself and your own feelings >> back a little and be intelligent about it, it's not rocket science ;) > > Well your act is pretty thin mate. IQ of 160+, illegitemate son of an > Irish celebrity, half brother of an American actor, etc etc. Talk > about loss of contact with reality. ### - one has perforce to actually 'know' reality in order to lose contact with it you fool, and you've never known reality yet, just the very idea of it scares the living crap out of you so you rant & rave like you actually know what you're talking about and yours is always the last/final word on the matter lol... arrogance much? :) there IS such a thing as reality thang, and awareness of it begins with realising we're all gonna be dead in just a few more cosmic minutes (we only get 15 cosmic minutes total as it is and our time is nearly up! there's only moments left!) and ALL our ideas, hopes & and plans are worth shit in the face of such a terrifying reality, no? that's the start of it anyway, that same realisation (of impermanence) that wrings/crushes-out all the bs in us until there's none left, at which point we begin then to sense/become-aware of something else, somethings that's been going-on all the time in the background, a completely different story, only everyone totally ignores it, something with which the whole of nature - except mankind - is fully aware of and lives in on a daily on-going basis, something a person cannot possible see/realise if they're still full of crap! and that's precisely where you are mate, still swimming up up your neck in all that crap and loving it coz you're not aware of anything else, wont LET yourself be aware of anything else! and god knows i've tried lol (you made a couple of advances, will grant you that... that dumbass group you started and then dropped when you realised it was just full of mugs that were only attracted to your horrible vibes & hate speech haha, but which, to your credit, you dropped like a hot turd when you realised how boring it all was and was going absolutely fucking nowhere - iow: you got something right for a change and actually learned something thereby! and that was an advance see because you prolly wont do that again! you burned your fingers and learned summat, there just being a few dozen more things exactly like it you ALSO need to drop so your vision begins to clear up and you begin more to see things as they ARE as opposed to what you yourself are projecting and fooling yourself with, see? and look, i know it's not easy, it's not easy for anyone! BUT it IS possible! and therein lies a worthy challenge! something WORTH putting one's intelligence to work for! and because there isn't anything else WORTH pursuing! my previous collection of old slots, i just love their art-deco-ness :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHfQPjwmsOI
