steve.foote Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I may be old and out of date, but I don't get the whole "preaching what others should be doing" thing. I have spent a few years hanging around here and keep seeing a handful of folks who think they have the market cornered on what is right, and seem to have no problem telling everyone about it. Will someone explain this preaching thing to me. Link to comment
blkvelvt Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 With the internet and keyboards, there is power. I think they call it the "Geek Squad". Link to comment

notacop Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Those that can't 'preach'. I just made that up. Do I get points for plagiarizing? Link to comment

Will someone explain this preaching thing to me. Preaching is in the ear of the beholder. I'd say there are a few of us around that have gone to the school of hard knox and care enough about others to not want them to go to that school. Call me what you will. The Bible never said you can't sin. It just tells you what happens when you do. Link to comment
Calvin (no socks) Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 What did I miss.... What are you selling... Is this a tire thread in disguise? I run my pressures at 2 psi over the recommended max to gain cornering clearance and longer tire life... Link to comment
StuGotz Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 so who's the "handful of folks"??? cmon, lets get this out in the open, we all need some counseling once in a while...and you can preach to us. then I'll get a haircut and leave town. Link to comment
JohnBeaven Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 These "preachers" are everywhere. The internet gives some of them a soapbox to stand on. Link to comment

Will someone explain this preaching thing to me. That's the whole problem with asking a question.... someone is bound to give an answer. I think that most are just trying to help,even if some do come across as a bunch of "smarty pantses" Link to comment

I'd say there are a few of us around that have gone to the school of hard knox and care enough about others to not want them to go to that school. If that were true, you would have told us about how you approached those you mentioned in your original post and tried to persuade them to see the light. In other words, you passed on the opportunity to possibly "save" someone, yet felt compelled enough to make your lofty point here. I doubt there are very many beanie-cap/high-heeled/shorts-clad passengers here. The Bible never said you can't sin. Actually, it does. But, that's a topic for a different thread. Link to comment

Wooster Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I may be old and out of date, but I don't get the... Gee Steve, I thought this was the thread about not getting the buxom black leather biker babe. I was all set to make some snide remark about not getting any when I bump into your more ethereal query. Can't think of any thing clever so here's my take on your question, namely, imposing one's values on others makes life a little less lonely (not that there's anything wrong with being lonely, after all it gives you something to do when you're by yourself). Wooster wondering where the buxom black leather biker babe went Oh yah, candlemakers have an easy schedule; they only work on the wick ends Link to comment

Les is more Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 When the day comes that people stop expressing opinions about what other people do, I'll be looking around wondering where human nature went. That includes preaching about other people preaching! Link to comment
