In the future you could provide me with more explicit instructions on when, how and what to post. May be it would be better if before posting I submit to your approval my intentions.

would that be acceptable?

I'm still not sure what you are saying? are you of the opinion that DG has not been helpful?

actually, more to the point... do you think DG was deserving of a rather snarky attack?

I love DG, she knows that I love her. To me she has always been very helpful, and I am extremely happy that she is back, and I let her know of my happiness.
I do not see why I should respond to you about my opinions about DG. What are you? a general inquisitor? The repository of some superior morality? KK, wake up, my friend.

Who cares about attacks to DG. She is strong enough to take care of herself. All my sympathy goes to speakingtohe. Not so much for what she said about GD, that both will be the first two to recognize as a pile of ...
but for the huge rising of popular voices. I am just telling her: Now, that you have all the attention, is the time to make yourself heard.

Is that difficult? Too complex? Out of you reach? Do you want to shoot me? Come on. Be cool.

absolutely not. I speak my mind. and you, my "friend" should know that by now.

Who cares about attacks to DG.
I care. I care about DG and any number of other people being attacked both here and IRL. I do not believe in complacency. if you do not speak up for decent behaviour in any aspect of life, then I believe you are causing great harm to society. if something is not said, then it gives folks the idea that kind of attitude is accepted here.

She is strong enough to take care of herself.
of course she is. never inferred she wasn't

All my sympathy goes to speakingtohe.has she been wronged somehow?

once again, not sure if this is part of the language barrier, but this seems a rather odd reaction

Well, apparently you give sympathy mostly to whom has been wronged. Not me, not only to people that have been wronged. Odd reaction? Why not? Again, odd against what? Me and my posts odd? I am finding this hilarious.

You truly believe that I am causing great harm to society.
I am amazed. I am starting to believe you.

Forget the language barrier, KK. Do not hide behind it. I know English well enough.

[kindlekitten]

no, I don't think YOU cause most harm to society, I think lack of compassion, lack of action, acceptance and complacency cause the most harm to society.

if you heard "little daughter's" companions bullying her at the playground would you just sit back?

if there is one thing I live by it is probably this poem;



First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

this doesn't hurt either;

"The smallest minority on earth is the individual.
Those who deny individual rights cannot
claim to be defenders of minorities."
- Ayn Rand

[kennyc]

Just to weigh in.

I was quite confused by by Beppe's comment as well, but that is not unusual as exemplified in the past.

All have a right to express their thoughts, sometimes it is difficult to know what those thoughts are though.

Now can we get back to the Karma discussion.

I like those - thanks for posting them.

Sure we can....

I gave KK karma for what she said to speakingtohe, not so much as she was defending DG, but for pointing out that what was said, or maybe more accurately, how it was said, was really pretty snarky.

[kennyc]

and so karma is what happens in the next life based on what you did in your previous life which is due to what happened in the life before that....

it's Karma's all the way down!

Of course I sit back. let them untangle themselves. She has to learn how to take care of herself. She does it by the way. You know us Italian, how aggressive we are.

I understand what you say KK. It does not have to be all the time, on every issue, on everybody. If she got something on DG, let her be. Who cares? That is why I encourage her to get it all out, in front of everybody. I admire that more than the pack of defenders of virtue. And you also, if you think about it for just a second. Eh?

Let's get on KennyC, rather, that is playing footsy.
