I could have a headphone in one ear typing while talking to another person with the other ear.

Quick question - how do you get your ear to oralize?

The people using it define the language, not the rules.

[edit] Removed what may have been an offending comment about ebonics. My apologies if I offended anyone.

Maybe I was talking out another orifice while listening and understanding two seperate audio sources.

Thanks for the good belly laugh.

Ah...You were sent to the principle's office.

Seems things are going to be a little touchy here for a while.

Actually no. A friend pointed out something I didn't even think about when I made my initial comment. After thinking about it I realized I may have insulted someone inadvertently. Something I don't want to do. And when I make a mistake I am willing to accept responsibility for it - admit it - and apologize for it. I was not scolded by anyone. I chose to make the apology because certainly one may have been required.

I'm not perfect. I'm fallible and admit it. I believe accepting my weaknesses is my greatest strength.

That, in fact, is the greatest human strength there is. Otherwise nobody would ever develop the ability to learn ... if only more politicians thought that way too...

 

I would think overcoming weakness would be superior to accepting it.

 

I think assuming everyone has thin skin reinforces and empowers the thin-skinned.

 

Opinions are like arse holes. Everybody has one. Some stink.

 

I would agree that overcoming a weakness is greater than simply accepting it. But some can't accept their own weaknesses, which blocks them from overcoming that weakness, making the weakness stronger than the ability to overcome it.

Don't ask me to explain that - it's hard enough just to read.

 

I understand what you mean, but I would change accept to acknowledge.

 

@ElectricSpidey Yeah, better choice of words.

That's very funny coming from you!

 

Don't much care for "Political Correctness" either.

I don't either ... but I do care about civility, and that seems to be scarce nowadays...

 

Here's a band I had never heard of before: The American Beetles.

A member of the band named Bill Ande remembered liking what happened when they followed Yorey’s advice. “We wore our hair the same, we dressed the same, we wore suits. It was pretty good.”

 

After listening to that recording, I think there is a good reason why we never heard of them

UNION CITY (CBS SF) — Hundreds of surgical masks that were apparently thrown from the back of a truck onto southbound lanes of I-880 in Union City caused a traffic jam Wednesday afternoon as some drivers stopped to gather the masks, according to authorities.

 

@nsaspook yeah, some people DO need a checkup from the neck up. Risking their lives just to potentially save their lives.

There was a toilet paper spill that made the news. Didn't see people stopping to pick up the abused rolls though. I think it was in Utah - but I could be mistaken.
