I don’t like to use this term much, but… LOL. You have a bad habit of describing in excruciating detail (including weirdly exact ranges) what you think happens to people, then applying them to an entire county and generation, as if everyone went through the same scenario. I live over here in Real Life, where every situation is unique.[/quote]
Ren, I saw a fairly evenly mixed reaction to your discussion with BG, and want to assure you that a lot of posters and lurkers are silently rolling their eyes at BG’s arrogance, ignorance, and presumptuousness. If the majority that wants to post on this thread seem to not be bothered by her, it may be because a lot of us gave up paying too much attention to her rants long ago and therefore aren’t posting about them. My suggestion is to try the same.
Sure, there’s an occasional nugget there. She’s obviously intelligent and knowledgeable (in some areas). But you have to wade through several tons of manure to find each nugget and most people don’t find it worth it.
