[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 562412, member: 1211"] I hear you. I grew up in a family that is quick to judge and harsh in that quick judgment. Half-fullers. Skeptics and cynics. Also grew up in a small rural town where the favorite pastime and sport was harsh judgment. Both family and community strong "christians" as well, but that's for another discussion...maybe. Feel free to scratch your head along with me. Sure, I like what I like and don't like who I don't like, but that history is not exactly a bright or positive way of life. I've spent a lot of my adult life trying to break out of that way of thought, but also realizing how much of the world operates in this way. Not easy to be otherwise, or at least for me it hasn't been. Small steps, but I'm grateful for any size step away from that. Not to bag on any of you. I run into jerks all the time, and I'm certain I'm that jerk to some too. My biggest impression trigger is intimidation. People who give off that aggressive or violent vibe are the ones who immediately set me off to not like them. Bravado and machismo and testosterone. May we walk on opposite sides of the street.
