Working with Anger

[Wind Song]

It's no different than the history of auto theft or the history of arson or Al Capone. I thought you lefties were the first to complain about people being hostile to knowledge. Women do themselves a disservice by fixating on rape. It causes the average guy to view dating as a risk, perhaps one not worth taking in most cases. Once you get beyond the obvious definition, you're entering manipulation territory.

That's an interesting position. Most men I know are very supportive of women when it comes to rape.

You're an exception.

Being "palatable" isn't a personal goal.

I actually do not believe that. Every person posting on a message board wants to be accepted by the other people on that board. Those who protest the loudest are those who want it most.

The think is Sky, the board as a whole WANTS to accept you. We all understand that this board would suck with no liberals on it.

But you don't know how to get along. Which is bad enough but many on here are even giving you advice on how you could get a long with us better. But you won't listen. Why? All your screaming about we don't want you here and blah blah is for naught Sky. Take some of the advice given and you'll be fine here.

Why can't , or won't , you make the effort? You expect every other member to just tolerate and love you as you are while you yourself make NO effort. That's not fair of you.

You misinterpret once again. Do you do it on purpose? He said nothing to warrant your remark.

He was whining about date rape. God forbid a man has to get consent first.

What kind of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide do you suppose she takes? Black Star? Purple Microdot? Orange Sunshine?

Orange sunshine 1970. Maybe I'm having flashbacks.

Because I read too fast. I'm in a hurry.

Maybe quality should be the goal and not quantity. Comprehension, not speed.

Thank you. Not a bad suggestion. I'm open to suggestions, not advice or criticism.

Review:

Four Steps

1. Observe what happened. (Just the facts)

2. Be aware of the feelings the event generated.

3. Discover what unmet needs are present for you and the other person.

4. Make a request that meets both people's needs as much as possible.
