OUTRAGE? NO THANKS . . .

What are you talking about and how much is it worth to you? I might be interested.

I was lookin' fer volunteers . . . not opportunists . . .

Good luck with that.

I figure the odds are about the same as outrage doin' anyone any good . . .

Well, first of all you ignorant mick, you didn't distinguish betwee Veil of Tears and Vale of tears.

For your edification, here is the Veil of tears

Did that outrage you?

Letty, your attempts at being rude are, frankly, laughable. About as effective as Soz would be.

I wouldn't even be outraged at that.

Better luck next time (ie. your insults need work).

i understand there's quite a substantial amount of outage south of the border, due to this storm and downed power lines


wait, what's that........outrage, oh

nevermind

Actually, Doggie Person, outrage can be a very useful, motivating thing.

Let me explain how it can work for the good.:

You hear or read about something that appears to be an appalling, outrageous thing. Like statistics on the number of homeless people in your own, relatively prosperous country, or the way that asylum seekers are treated when they attempt to enter your country by the only means open to them .. only sometimes to be locked up for years ... Just a couple of sources of my own episodes of outrage ..

Then, if enough people feel the same, they might share their combined outrage with the community, but letters to the editor, by acting in ways that might assist the folk having the tough experience, maybe by joining groups established to address the very source of your outrage, applying pressure to governments & other authorities who have the power to act & change things ...

Now that sort of outrage, as an initial motivator to act, is not at all a bad thing. However, constantly reacting with outrage in your personal dealings with others, as you negotiate your way through life, is not such a great thing. It can (at worst) lead to hatred, desire for revenge, resorting to drugs or drink, developing ulcers & god knows what other nasty complications if you don't get a grip .... so best avoided, as your usual response of choice, I'd say.

you think i got time to read all that


i'm outraged

I think ebrown is outraged over Canadians getting the gold AND having health care.

you could have ended the sentence at outraged, where ebrown is concerned

Read it, djjd!

And now!

Or else I'll be outraged!

very true.

If Canadians are going to get cold, they should have health care.

So...there's Good Outrage and Bad Outrage?

Whaddya mean "if"???

I'm afraid so.

The variety that leads to ulcers has little going for it, in my humble opinion.

That's an interesting question. Why don't we all grab our harpoons, shoot some whale together, and talk about it in the Australia summer sun over beer and BBQ?

I will be outraged for you, but I'm apathetic.
