What type of person impresses you most?

[oosik]

Less talk, more listen. I'm the one with the problem - you are the one I'm looking to for an answer.

 

[Travelover]

People that under promise and over deliver.

I was in "Friendly Politics" for a while. Trust me .... It is anything BUT "Friendly!" LOL

Now, I enjoy a great online free-for-all - but it has to be handled on a level playing field. Conservative voices get censored far too often .. so I just left the forum.

Yeah FP has kinda tamed down a lot. For really lively arguments you need to go to the thread about why you should be required to remove your slide in ball mount from your receiver hitch. :laughing:

yeah, that one is really raising some hackles isn't it?

The following people impress me:

Health care professionals who treat you like you are the most important person in the world.

Young people who have respect for my age and therefore my opinions.

Strangers who smile at me when they pass by.

People who maintain a sense of humor under almost any circumstance.

A good pianist.

Generous tippers.

My wife.

Yes Sir! Personal responsibility vs individual freedom and liberty vs nanny state all wrapped up into one nice little thread. :thumbsup:

 

[riptides]

I am impressed by people that don't whine, BI*** and moan a lot.

Those are rare charachteristics now-a-days.

That's the first time I've been censored in over 8 years. I hope I haven't worn out my welcome here.

Eight years and you have not had a post removed?

Now that is impressive! :laughing::laughing::laughing:

I have had a post or two removed in the past. Don't worry about it.

Later,
Dan

I'm impressed by the person who freely and openly expresses their opinion and doesn't expect me to agree with it, who can hear mine and move on to something else without debate, who keeps their promises or doesn't make them.

So often I hear "why doesn't everyone strive for world peace?" I say "Maybe they think they're doing what they can toward that already" Maaaap, wrong answer and I'm now having to defend someone's(?) position on a topic I don't have much interest in. (no wheels, no engine, no varmint optic, ...)

Folks call me and ask for advice, supposedly to benefit from my experience. "well, revised state code says all underground cable must be in conduit & IMO that's not a big cost or complication, so I'd do that." For the following 30 min I'm berated for how 'stupid' the code is as if I wrote it myself and was responsible for every detail.

One learns to recognize these types after a while, but what stinks is to realize how many that you thought were 'friends' for years fit that profile and that others, in avoiding them, have avoided you as well. Best friends I have now are bank tellers, restaurant wait staff, and grocery cashiers.

Total strangers in my community treat one better than many who try to befriend you. It's those that hang their own baggage around your neck that irritate me most so you might say, however crudely, "no creo en amigos", ... but of course that doesn't mean y'all 'uns. :laughing: (Just keep your distance, ok? )

btw: no rant intended ...
