    EVEN WHEN I GET MY NEW GLASSES . There will be many things I will not see .

    Scared the hell outta both of us yesterday when I almost ran this lady off the road . Couldn't see her in the blind spot in the truck I borrowed . 

    Lately I keep running into these blind guys :

  Fanaticism comes from any form of chosen blindness accompanying the pursuit of a single dogma.

    I have admittedly felt a kind of  blindness after these encounters 

   

    "  We're blind to our blindness. We have very little idea of how little we know. We're not designed to know how little we know. "

   

    Can't remember who said that one . But it is very frustrating .

  Wow dude, that isn't good for sure.  Best of luck to ya.  AT one time I was blind till I had an operation.  Wore glasses for over 50 years.  Now just need reading glasses.  My doc was good I cut the lens from both eyes & made new 1's that he stuck on with tiny spikes.

    It took over a week for the topic to actually change in that thread ( once I put in for the change ) . People! PEOPLE! CHANGE THE TOPIC HERE ! Seemed like a good idea at the time . Again it was for the reason of what the title denotes . Now . A place to go off , vent , derail . But not necessarily to denigrate , insult , destroy and demean . But who can stop that ? Right ? Can't . 

    I also get a kick out of the want to be moderators that are so quick to point out a spelling error . Or something grammatical imperfect . Or the ones that actually know what you said better than you did . And the context you intended . And will fight to prove it . Lol . 

    I hope that thread remains a place for any that wander too far from the " honesty " topic and the new one " for nice people only " . 

    It's locked now . No one will be going there . 

    I almost made a mistake by thinking it might be nice to start a " random act of kindness " thread . But all i could envision were butcher knives for its future . So I'll let somebody else initiate a thread like that .

  We are getting off track here

   

    Then stop instigating us , and feeding the fire . You know fcking well that is what you are doing . 

    By continually intentionally provoking people with your vain and egotistic comments . You are Knowingly disrespecting the OP far worse than our human nature to respond . Many times I may answer  not realizing the thread that the outrageous comment that I am responding to is in . 

    You stop . We stop .

  ..............................................................................................................................................................

    The above was me at very volatile moment . Comments that were just a release of built up anger that was completely unrelated to the topic or WGT .. 

    " Many times I may answer  not realizing the thread that the outrageous comment that I am responding to is in "..

      This is true too . Scanning my emails and I see one with a partial comment . Read the last one or two posts and reply . Without regard for OP topic as with everyone else commenting at that time .

    I won't be practicing that anymore . Nice to learn something from all that .

  Actually, I reported abuse when I voiced my concerns on page 1.

   

    Something else I learned . Wow . Talk about the whole kitchen calling the kettle black .
