Should Warb resume talking about politics? — Page 3

When I was in grade school some of the other kids thought I was pretty pathetic because I didn't own the right kind of tennis shoes. Some kids cared what these other kids thought and ran out and bought those kind of tennis shoes so they could be considered cool. I, on the other hand, didn't care what these kids thought about me and was perfectly happy with my cheapo Shopko tennis shoes. Was I being selfish?

of course not.

I am not sure why you think you should base your life's decisions on people who don't even give a rat's ass about you. But to each their own.

1: I don't base all my decisions on what others think,  I'm just doing it this once

2: They may not give a rat's ass about me, but I believe some of them do care about the forum community as a whole.   I care about the forum community as well.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannd... it's tails!

My official vote is, "Nay".

very well,  but  I do wish you had put more thought into your than just simply flipping a coin.   But, its your vote.

I put a ton of thought into my answer, Warb. I wrote a rather long and time consuming post expressing how I felt about the subject. I doubt many of those other yeas or nays had anywhere near as much thought put into them than my first post in this thread. But since it wasn't a definitively positive or negative stance being taken, it didn't count towards the vote. 

If I had created a poll(just like you can on other forums), would how you felt have counted in the poll? No.   I am seriously considering what you've said, but I wanted this to work like a poll.   If I had had the capability, I would have created a poll,  but since that is not possible, I am trying make this work as closely to a poll as possible.  In a poll, only the Yeas and Nays would count(assuming that those are the only voting options I created).  Therefore only the Yeas and Nays count here.

While you are at it, maybe you ought to go to the General Star Wars thread and the Preservation and fan edit threads, where those people don't even know who you are and ask for their opinions as well.

I think that would be taking things a bit too far.  Not to meant that such topic in those sections, would be off section.   Off topic is the appropriate place for this thread.   I also didn't want to junk up the political thread itself anymore than I already had, hence the creation of a new thread.

I don't think C was saying you really should do that, but rather that it would be just as silly to do it there as here.*

Reading you both C3PX and Warbler, I think you'll never meet. If C3PX looks like taking the chance to learn any thing he can through discussion (and I'm sure he does), I feel Warb is on the opposite side: the words may sound positive, but inertia prevails and he closes the doors again and again. Kind of love & hate ping pong party with himself and his feelings.

If you could forget these letters...

My Mission Statement: Be a good person.  Be fair, just and honorable.  Follow the golden rule.  Show Love, respect and mercy.

... And make that true, you would have won your challenge.

For now it mostly sounds like a dream, a good intention that you haven't managed to measure the effort it requires. That said, only the first step cost...

 

I think this thread is obviously a kind of request of attention anyway. It could be translated by "Do you think my opinions suck... Or do you think I would made a great president" ?... Or even: "Are you guys reading me ?".

You've got all wrong bud. Try not to watch OT.com for a month for instance, and see if it makes you feel better, or feel like shit... And please try stop thinking !

 

Sorry if I sound tough, I'm just trying to help you - true that C3PX makes a huge work with you in that way, you can trust me on that, only you just can't see it, and you mostly stay on the defensive like if people tried to have influence on you ! - But I can't put in that post such an effort he gives for you...

 

 

... WAKE UP !

I am trying and hope to get there someday.  It is easier said than done.

it certainly isn't a question of whether I'd make a great President . . . I'd make a terrible President. 

maybe it is a request of attention *sigh*  I just though it was a request for what everyone thought I should do regarding whether or not I should talk politics on the forum.

I'd rather not go away from ot.com for a month.

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Let go, I already tried.

PS: ... and I said Nayea, stucking my finger on my desk when I posted... He heard "nay"...

What happens with a tie?

If there is a tie at the end of voting(at 12 AM 08/07/2010), the first new vote or change of vote after the deadline(at 12 AM 08/07/2010), breaks the tie.  Once the tie is broken, no new votes will be counted, no one will be allowed to change their vote, and the results become official.   Remember, it is only in the event of a tie, at the deadline(at 12 AM 08/07/2010), that anything that happens after the deadline(at 12 AM 08/07/2010) will count.
