    Good points

    I've worked along side Frank for several years and while I can't speak for him entirely he's a salt of the earth type guy. He has his opinions and is never afraid to share them. I go along with him sometimes for the sake of not arguing.

    He sorta has 2 worlds he lives in (maybe more) and I'm sure most of us can relate.

    You know... there's the world you are in and there's the world where you are in the company of others and you might act a little different because this other world has different morals or values and you are akin to prescribing to respect them.

    Frank's religious background sometimes conflicts with his other environmental variables. Frank was in Vietnam so there's a huge part of his life that causes him pain. It's touchy with him there.

    His instincts are cautious, his beliefs are genuine though.
    I can get Frank stirred and he knows how to push my buttons as well.

    Some may say it's a game we all play with each other (or a trick as I referred to) but really it's just coping mechanisms we have all learned as we have grown.

    Sometimes we get sidetracked by religion, politics, or even sports or hobbies for that matter.

    This is why I always believe developing relationships is vital. We especially need to develop relationships with those we don't understand or have maybe errantly passed judgment on if it is possible.

    thank you :)

    i can see what you are getting at. and yes i can understand when you say he's got conflictions going on in his head.

    it's like me trying to decide whether a gay/lesbian couple should be allowed to adopt a child. i will never be able to answer this question, because as soon as i say against, i have a reason to say for it, and vice versa. so i don't even think about it, cause liberal and conservative parts in me start to conflict with each other.

    He's ONE person. I give charity and do so often since i live in a third world country. That has SHIT to do with the fact that I'm a devout Catholic. SHIT.

    well good for you!

    yep, he was ONE person, as you say. but i also knew another Catholic who attended church regularly, who didn't want to give me a lift home, whilst his wife said to me that it was going to be ok. so, i guess he'll be the SECOND person ;)

    oh, and i was only saying that AllNiteThing hit the nail on the head for me, because he said "Christians act like their shit doesn't stink" cause it does.

    how do you think Chrisitan people act towards my metalhead friends? Religious people don't like metalheads and tell them their music is "bad". whilst obviously all those Christians are holier than thou people :rolleyes:

    hehe, you have every right to say this. i have wronged you twice without intending to.

    i know my last pm was not nice, and i do remember that i still owe you something. i was kind of feeling awkward, that's why i haven't quoted you anywhere.

    but wanted to say love your jokes keep it up! :) and i'm glad you're still visiting this place every now and again :)

    erm...the thing is all of my friends are either paganists, agnostic, atheist or spiritualist :o

    though i do have one elder Russian friend who believes in God, but she doesn't go to church. She believes in him in her heart. I'm good friend with her, she's nice, helpful, trustworthy woman

    You forgot sluts, womanizers, crooks, gamblers, viewers of 2 girls and a cup, hippies, swingers, and Richard Simmons wannabes.

    Yeah, some of 'em are closet those things too. We're a mixed bag. LOL We'll all admit none of us it all sorted out; we 'ride the wave', hoping that God is pretty inclusive...

    I was thinking the definition of "trick" had changed from the original post.

    Which is fucking hilarious.

    I CANT turn someone down who asks for money. I think its impossible. I said no one time to a homeless person and still to this day feel awful about it. My view on the whole thing is if they are out there asking for money they clearly need it more then me. I dont have to resort to begging so I'm in a good place in life I feel even though I only have $100 in my checking account im doing better then a lot of people out there.

    The only time I regret doing it is when they ask for money and I give it to them and they just snatch it and walk away. That pisses me off a bit. All I want in return is a simple thank you.
