In response to:
I always tell it like it is. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but you know i'm not going to spin BS.

Is this more important or should you go around trying to please everyone, avoiding all the issues and trying to be the United Nations, protecting everyone from each other?

Opinions?
doll.....untited nations....ye i think sometimes they think they are......

bs...and lies....get you no where......someone asks a stupid question....and nearly everyone here....tells them what they want to hear...

how is that helping someone???????????

me i come in ....tell them the TRUTH....and everyone gets all angry...and then it all starts....wah wah wah...

if you dont like the TRUTH....get a one way ticket to fairy land...in fairy land the easter bunny is a real person.......and everything always works out your way...everytime.....

I learned long time ago if you cannot say something positive do not say anything at all......

then that golden rule comes into play
do unto others... yada yada yada

I give you this some of limited intellect are unable to phrase or say things in a constructive or polite way.
I was taught for those less fortunate be more understanding for they know not what they do.
just an opinion

There is no-way to please everyone all the time. I wiil be totally honest with everybody reguarding all situations. You don't have to be brutal with the truth just tell it like it is. As far as opinions go, they are like -ssholes, everybody has one!!

Another classic "damned if you do! Damned if you don't!" I always say the wrong thing. So if you know me? You know what I really meant!"

I liked this one guy he told off a bunch of carpet retailers (he was one himself) And started out with this, "I was in the Marine Corps not the diplomatic corps!!" He got his point across loud and clear.

To be honest I'm of the opinion to speak the facts and not the BS. I have found that more people than not really can’t handle the blunt truth. Especially a few on this site just can’t seem to handle a dynamic personality. It those I like to flush out so that I can stay away from them.
Eggshells usually end up breaking anyways...

Oh, to be late in words...

This is my feeling on the topic: Touch on the important parts, but leave out small details unless asked upon. Too many times is giving 'everything' a bad idea, unless what you're telling is a small detail in itself and cannot be dismissed. At that point, I ask for them to 'hear me out before saying anything.'

Quoting someone, I wish I could remember who: "When something is true, not many words are needed." I'll add my own to this... "If someone says their sword is sharp, do you grab it and touch the edge yourself? Let them show you!"

kiss "To thine own self be true.Then to none other can you be falce."
You or I are not responsible for how others feel.
If we think or act otherwise we are compromising our personal soverignty and boundaries.
We do that at our peril.
I wish you peace and happiness.

Always tell it like it should be told....not what the other wants to hear...just for the sake of agreement.

sugar coated followers come a dime a dozen.
