why are some people such insensitive jerks?
Edited on Wed Aug-03-05 02:22 PM by leftofthedial
and others are so nice?

and others are just oblivious?

and others have no sense of humor?

and others do have a sense of humor?

and others think the world revolves around the issues they personally care about?

and others have a broader view?

and why do we so often fail to get along?

and when we disagree, why are we so quick to anger, quick to judement and so often eager NOT to give one another the benefit of the doubt? ( I think maybe I can answer this one myself--it's because we fear letting anyone see that we have any doubt.)

11. Did you hear the one about Mrs. Charles DeGaul?
A reporter once asked her, What's the most important thing in life?

She replied - a penis

The reporter was taken aback, and stammered, Why, Mrs. DeGaul, what makes you say that?

And she replied, because a penis is so much better than un'appiness.

15. Perhaps calling people "insensitive jerks"
Is not the best way to point out that people are "quick to judgment". ;-)

I just happen to be an insensitive jerk, so I can be quick to judge if I want.
