Upon closer inspection, I would say SimplySaid, simply has an axe to grind. If so, grind that axe with the person with whom you have a problem. Generalizations and aggrevations are proving nothing to anyone. If "everyone on this site is a phony" or hard luck story, choose to ignore it, it's your perogative.
Muhammad Ali, hunh? Great boxer. Refusing to serve...oh how noble. Malcolm X, Dr. King, great leaders, heroes in their right. The Wizard of Oz and the curtain of truth is a fitting analogy. You opine one way, I another. There is a certain level of truth in your logic, albeit, more argumentative than rational. My opinion, I'm entitled to it. My dog is not ill equipped for the fight. He's grown with age and has the skills and tools to stay in the pit.
Others unlike myself, hunh? You mean unlike the man that wore his Countrys' flag on his shoulder for 4 years, and U.S. Army on his chest?
Or do you mean cowards that would even hide behind a pen and ink drawing rather than posting their faces.
You see, your words have little creedence with me as it appears that you are just looking to pick a fight. And since this is simply a forum to discuss ideas I can't put my dog in this fight for real.
First point, brother...this is Virginia...not Canada.
You do what the man in the robe dictates that you do or go to jail.
The message that you send your kids for continuing to fight their mother may not be the message that you want to send. Respect for their mother, respect for their father, respect for their elders, and respect for authority are admirable things to teach your children, friend.
Coward, Sir, you obviously don't know me or what I stand for. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion.
You see brother...here's where you stepped out of line. I'm not looking for anyone...ANYONE....to tell me what a great man I am for taking care of my kids. I do what I think is right. I buy my kids what I want to buy them, out of choice, not out of spite, or vengeance. Now, if people, men or women, respect me for the man that I am, that's o.k., too.
Ohhhhhh daaayyyyuummmmm.....Here comes, as Paul Harvey, says "the rest of the story"....I have full, joint, shared custody of my two sons....Now the hell of it....I still have to pay Child Support...I have them for a week, their mom has them for a week. We have them each exactly the same amount of time. They want for nothing. Whaddya ya'll think about that?
I have to add, that I am fishing in my very first Bass tournament tommorrow....with one of my customers...So I get the day off and I get to fish all, for MONEY.....Now there's an idea that I can get behind.
Paws, sir, I own my own businesses and still feel guilty when I take a day off. I really should learn to get over that feeling I reckon. Go fishing....that makes everything better.
RE: Does anyone like me?
