Me thinks you assume to much....

"I KNOW how they live. They drove nicer cars than I did. They didn't work while I was up till 3 am delivering pizzas. They ate everything from an instant microwave box."

that doesn't sound like praise to me; nor is it helpful.

It is called an observation. It is called reality.

and so is everything I have said. I lived it too.

You can't sit in judgement of the entire population of mankind and say there is never an excuse allowed.

You mean it isn't helpful to point out flaws and/or hypocrisy?

I guess that is a matter of opinion.

I have found it very helpful when I've been smacked across the side of the head by someone pointing out my own hypocrisies. It showed me where I needed change.

Perhaps we should simply nuke the inner cities and get rid of all the annoying people who don't live up to your standards.

Speaking of no excuses:

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualitieshis eternal power and divine naturehave been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. Romans 1:20

Perhaps we should simply nuke the inner cities and get rid of all the annoying people who don't live up to your standards.

There you go putting words in someone's mouth again....

 

[hikerchick]

don't quote the bible to me because it is meaningless to me.

I never attributed those words to anyone but myself. Whose mouth are you saying I put them in?

Exactly!

Same here. When I screw up, I might not want to hear it at the time, but it has led to change and improvement....
slowly but surely.

Hubby and I have pointed out every dumb thing we did as a young married couple to our oldest son in the hopes he would not make the same mistakes himself. A few he just HAD to learn on his own, but for the most part, he watched his friends do them instead

For a 21 year old he is pretty level headed. A few friends he hadn't talked to in a couple of years reentered his life recently. He told me he told them things they didn't want to hear (about friends, a girl friend in one case, or a family member) so they stopped being friends. Now these guys are back telling him he was right all along. Their friendship is stronger than ever now, they both learned, and now they can go forward.
