OCCOM dilemma, Do I have a moral obligation or not?

I think you are emotional because you've quit smoking.

If he's that much of a beast kicking him the ass will only piss him off and then you're going to get your ass kicked, and then you'll want a drink, and then you'll want a cigarette, and then I'll be calling you a pussy.

Stay off this slippery slope OBill, until you're feeling a litte more stable.

Then drive up to Raleigh and we'll go to a metal show and we can jump in the pit and kick a few folks around. It'll be fun.

or find a bunch of guys that dress alike and follow them around.

I'm not a Quaker, but the Society of Friends has a notion that I'm very fond of:

"Who does God have but thee?" In other words, you see the problem--and therefore you have an obligation to Do Something about the problem.

Is physical violence the only answer? Is there a possibility of legal redress? Can you do nothing and still live with yourself? Will confronting this man cause complications for other people--like your family?

Hold your dominion.

Well.........................this IS a knotty problem. Would a kick in the ass somehow rearrange this man's neural connections? If not, all you would get is personal satisfaction, without solving the problem.



Is this denial of access something of which you have a personal concern? Are you convinced that people are entitled to that thing? Do you have a vested interest in seeing that people have access to the aforementioned whatever? If so, can you find a way to supply the something? Would you want to put out the effort to make sure that each person is supplied with whatever it is? What about each person getting it (whateverthehell "it" is) by him or herself?

It is not up to you to fight other people's battles. If you choose too, that is your lookout. It is also not up to you to demand something from another person. Unless you are willing to put your butt on the line, and supply other people whatever it is, I say, MYOB!

Polish your steel toed shoes , then run like hell. hehe!! I have to agree with phoenix on the point of self satisfaction.
IF that is the underlying desire ( 60% or more ) then no, dont do it. And if at all possible... ( doesnt sound like it is ) can you get this -thing- this person is denying everyone and do something with it yourself ? Are you in a position to do that?
Everyone has a moral obligation to -some extent- watch each others ass. If you can do so and help other people , yourself included , and it is that important.... why are you still on the computer? ;-)

you're getting pearls here Bill, I hope you're paying attention...

I thought O'BILL was already a Republican.

I think this is a cleverly disguised political question.

"make every sentence as politically correct as possible" Sorry to hear this BILL. Would hate to see what you'd come up with on purpose.

Bill,

As much I agree he deserves it, I think kicking his ass isn't possible. It is nearly impossible to get past those Secret Service guys.

There are a lot of people who feel as angry as you do. Just do what they are doing and vote for Kerry.

Kick Ass
OCCOM BILL;

When or if that glorious day or night arrives for you to "Kick Ass" one should always make sure he is waring his new pointed toe golf shoes.

Joe Harris

C'mon Bill - come clean - where's the trick?

And what's with all the damn bunny references?

Ah, you are probably right about that. But this is important. Really it is. And no, as bad as I'd like a cigarette, right now, not even an ass-kicking would drive me to it. :wink:

As usual Dys, I don't know what the hell you are talking about. :wink:


I don't even believe in God, but I love that notion!


I'm hoping this is resolved before it comes down to an actual ass whooping.

That's the $100,000 question.

No, I'm sure kicking this man's ass would actually make me sad as can be.

Absolutely I'm not the same without it.

Entitled is way too strong a word. But it is a terrible shame that anyone should have to go without.

Monetarily, no. Intelectually and spiritually, yes.

Eh, I'm trying.

I'm doing my very best. I'm probably doing it wrong... but I am trying.

Hmmm, that one I'll have to think about.

Oh boy... I sure hope someone else can come up with a better solution.

On that count I'm probably going to hell for this one.

Darlin, if I had it, we wouldn't need it from him.

Shewolfnm, there would be no self-satisfaction whatsoever, I assure you.

How many times do I have to tell you that isn't so?


You are not stupid Kicky... But this is far more important than any political question.


Just trying to add a little humor to an otherwise serious subject. I guess it didn't come out very funny.

No Ebrown… despite everything he's denied us in the last month, he doesn't deserve an ass-kicking as bad as that guy. He is not in the government, Intel business and there's no news article about him on the computer. Forgive me. My alien Internet router is slow on this network. Web technology sucks. My assessment is that without access to his teaching, I'm less of a human being. In a meeting him off the net, I'd no doubt wish to shake his hand (not kick his ass). You see, it is his wisdom, knowledge and camaraderie that we are all being denied, simply because he doesn't like the look of this last paragraph.

Does that clear things up for you bunny?

hmmmmm, extrapolating from what you've provided, I'd say - stay out of it. What someone wants to offer in terms of teaching is not something they can or should be forced to provide. Intellectual property is just that.

Do other people want to learn what you've learned? If the answer is yes, they'll find a way to get it.

Damn it Craven, that last paragraph shoud have had over a dozen links in it...What happened?

No offense intended ehBeth.

Set?????

Someone else who had an underline tanty?

As usual, I don't know what the hell's going down here.

Bills in nicotine DT's and he's haluscinatin'
