Such indicates that you have problems with impulse control, impulse control being necessary in most white-collar jobs.
Street smarts may be good for survival in a very nasty world, but if I were an employer hiring someone I would be leery about anyone who bragged about them. Street smarts are a poor substitute for socialization to fit into our corporate world.
Consider yourself reported. It is best that we all stick to family-friendly language here.
You are an adult right. I'm going to ask you a question, if I said (expletive deleted) to your (vile adjective redacted) face, would you treat me like a kid and correct me?
I don't know your body build, and I see from your language that you are the sort who would throw a punch if you got angry. You seem to get angry quickly.
If I were to work on one bad character trait that causes the most harm and the least good, then it would be on impulse control. By doing so I would be able to greatly reduce violent altercations that typically end in a brawl that culminates with a broken fist and a broken jaw. With more impulse control people would think twice about doing violence. We'd still have the conniving malefactors who do more structural damage to the economy, but it is the personal violence that legitimately scares most of us.
Quote:So, what do you think your chances are being decked for doing something stupid like that these days?
To be sure, intellectual types can come up with the most sophisticated craziness and folly, but on the whole... you can consider yourself lucky that your survival does not depend upon defeating me in a contest determining IQ. (IQ is overrated as a predictor of the quality of life above about 125). In generally, the super-smart are more likely to run from a fist-fight than to stick around to deal and take blows. Some of us know how to manipulate stupider people, perhaps even flattering them.
Quote:Street smarts are a necessity for survival and success in a larger and more competitive world.
Street smarts are necessary for living by the rules of racism, poverty, and powerlessness. Street smarts are necessary for MS-13, the Bloods, and the Crips. Many look at those losers and decide that they want. So figure that some Hispanic girl of 14 or 15 decides that she will buckle down to get good grades in rigorous studies, go to college, and become a teacher or a registered nurse. Maybe she brings back her potential good works back to the barrio -- or maybe she leaves it while being a schoolteacher or registered nurse in the suburbs. Maybe some black boy discovers that he has a knack for such a trade as auto-body repair or repairing vehicle engines, decides that such work is better than dealing drugs, and does such... and ends up with a middle income (and a white wife).
Quote:You live in Podunk right.
Yes, and I also know its faults -- most obviously that I can seem a freak for, among other things, preferring classical music to country music and almost any East Asian cuisine (although I hear that Filipino cuisine is awful) to such things as biscuits-and-gravy, meat loaf, and potato salad. I prefer steamed vegetables that still have some taste, color, and texture to those cooked to the point at which they resemble oatmeal with an obnoxious flavor. I like my food spicy, which is inconsistent with my hick German-American heritage. I relate well to Jewish humor and intellectuality.
I wish that I had gotten the chance to stay in the San Francisco Bay Area. Had I gotten married, then my wife and I might have much in common except for appearance and ancestry. That is if I didn't marry a Jewish woman and not an Asian woman.
Quote:You're on the side calling everyone else fascists, racists and whatever comes to mind or whatever some Democrat thinks will work.
No, I call only racists and fascists "racists" and "fascists"... and I am a bad match for Commies. I know the difference between conservatism and fascism, and I know well that if America ever went fascist, then the only way to survive as a recent conservative would be as a fellow-traveler of the fascists if one could not emigrate. That's how things went in the Third Reich.
I have enough conservative characteristics to be an antithesis of Nazis, Stalinists, and Ba'athists.
Objective reality is a better clue to existing messes than is free-floating anger like yours.
Quote:So, do you consider that (vile word deleted) family friendly? If you do. you BETTER PRAY I don't get a hold of you you backward minded piece of shit. Dude, when the day of reckoning comes, I suggest that you take the advice that I gave to fellow Libtard years ago.
I have more in common with an Iranian liberal than I have in common with a fascist who is American to the extent that he could never be anything else -- and of course is a dreadful example of what it means to be an American!
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
