Wow someone's in man-hating mood.

There is the same chance for women doing the same thing.

Risks have to be taken.


I agree with you that risks have to be taken, but those risks should not be foolish.

One thing that most entreprenuers have going for them and this is a good source to learn from is to always do you homework before you jump into anything and to think before you speak.

Anyone that knows anything about starting a business knows that you first have to understand and get to know as to who your customer is going to be before you can even think about opening a business because if you don't, then you are sure to fail and the same thing is also true of customer service as well.

How did she get your phone number?

:holy:


I gave her my cell phone number at the time because prior to talking to her on the phone she sounded like she was allright, but little did I know at the time that she was actually crazy.

If I had known that she was a nutcase, then I never would have given her my phone number because I am just not into that scene at all.

My interest is in business, making money, romance, creating better relationships, and in finding new and improved ways of improving both myself and my life for the better by learning from every source that I possibly can that I believe will help me to overcome and avoid the mistakes of my past.

Kirk, I'm not sure why you enjoy throwing your barbs my way, but it'd be nice if you stopped it.

There was no man-hating in the post you quoted. I just got lied to and taken for a ride. I was upset and angry. I had every right to be.

You should try getting out into the real world instead of sitting around judging people that you don't know.

I have learned more from real life than I have from any book so you have no call to sit around and judge me. You claim to know everything but you don't because you have not been there and you have not done half of what you think that you know.

I know because I have been there and done that which is more than I can say about you. I have spent more time in the real world as an over the road truck driver and I have hung around people that could easily con you out of anything that they wanted.

One good case of that is a female friend of mine who lived next door to me and who was basically a con artist. She was not only smarter than you, but she also had a lot more experience than you out in the real world and most of what she talked about I already knew because I have been there myself.

Books are all fine and good and there is a lot that you can learn from them, but if you just sit around the house and read books all of the time without going out and experiencing life itself then you are never going to know as to what is really real and what is not.

Most people tend to treat psychologists like they are some sort of God, but they are not Gods at all. All they are is flesh and blood human beings who can and do make mistakes like the rest of us and that is why you cannot put all of your faith and trust into what they have to say.

Most of what they say are nothing but mere generalizations and stereotyping like all women are crazy because they have a period. Who on earth is dumb enough to believe in any of that crap. Everyone that has any ounce of common sense knows that women cannot control their periods and that having a period does not make a woman crazy by any means.

You sound like you need to get your head out of the television set and do something usefull like going to church and other places instead of sitting around on your computer judging everyone because you are too afraid to go and find out the real truth.

I personally don't care about any of your problems because just like everyone else here I have my own problems that I am dealing with and that is why I am currently working on trying to start my own e-commerce businesses because I know that it can be done.

All of the businesses that you currently see like Walmart, Petsmart, Swift Transportation and all of the others started out as nothing but dreams, but through hard work and sheer determination they all became successfull businesses because the owners of each and every company took the time to learn that in which they did not know and that in which they could not learn, they hired employees to help them with their businesses.

Everyone that is even remotely smart knows that people can and do lie and that people can and will attempt to deceive you just like satan will because they lack good morals and ethics and that is a proven fact by actual incidents in which children are now bringing things like guns to school and in getting into fights.

When I was in school there was no such thing as kids bringing guns to school. Yes, we still had our share of stereotypes going around the school which basically separated everyone from one another because in one corner you had the jocks, while in another corner you had the headbangers, and then of course there existed the preppie's and the nerds and that is not to mention all of the other sub-social groups that existed that I am probably not even aware of even existing.

The point is that you cannot go around and stereotype other people nor can you sit around that think that you know everything or that you are perfect because you are not and the Bible even says that.

Perhaps you will recall as to what Jesus thought of hypocrites and as to how even Jesus was tempted by satan. And perhaps you might even recall as to what happened to JOB in the Bible. The point is that if you run around judging people and thinking that you know everything when you really don't then you risk being labeled as a hypocrite by God and that is one of the things that God tends to hate most and that is a proven fact because the Bible tells us so.

I unlike other people do not run around and judge people and I never will because I know that is wrong. The only place for stereotypes is maybe in a comedy routine and even there you have to be careful because if you don't know your audience then you risk offending them because many people are sick and tired of all the labels and the stereotypes.

If you really want to get to know someone and to understand them, then all that you have to do is to ask and to be willing to accept what they have to say without riduculing or humiliting them as that is what is called having good social skills, and it is important that when someone says something that you listen to what they have to say because you can never be sure as to what you might be able to pick up from them because each person is unique and has their own experiences and education from which to draw from. Just because someone has a different background from you does not give you the right to attack them at all and that is why it is so important to practice good listening skills while at the same time reserving judgement because just like the Bible says if you judge someone, then you will be judged as well by God. Simple common sense goes a long way here.

One of the other things that I have learned is that more often than not you have to tend to take things with a grain of salt. While there is much that you can learn from other people, you also have to learn as to how to discern and differentiate the fact from the fiction and to base your decisions about what is right and what is wrong based upon the facts.

If there is something that you don't agree with that someone says then state it as an opinion unless you have hard clear evidence based upon fact that what they are saying false.


Please take personal arguments elsewhere. Thanks.

I am on the phone with him and he says to tell you he is sorry and he did not mean for it to be offensive.

Ink,

I just want you to know that I don't blame you for being angry and upset for being lied to and for being taken for a ride.

It happens to the best of us and contrary to popular opinion there is no way that you can know ahead of time that someone is or will lie to you. All that you can do is to try to take steps to protect yourself so that you do not get hurt again by listening to the same or similar lies in the future.

Even police officers and psychologists can't be 100 right on target as to whether someone is lying to them or not because some people are just really, really good at it and I know that for a fact because I have not only experienced it myself, but I have also had the opportunity to talk to police officers as to what suggestions and techniques they might advise for preventing being lied to and taken advantage of and all they could tell me was that all you can do is to just take your best guess and hope that you are right.

Sometimes you will be right and sometimes you won't be. That just tends to go with the territory and that is something that all of us need to learn and accept.

;)Bottom line, be careful with who you meet online. It is imperative to take it slow and not put your hopes too high. I have learned that skeptism does help one to use good judgement at times. I am not saying that one should be closed minded; simply be very careful as to who you meet or interact online with... Even on a Christian site!

I wholeheartedly agree with you.

The best advice is to hope for the best while at the same time preparing for the worst.

Frenzy. It looks like you are from my home town. I was born and raised in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Area.

It's nice to see that I am not the only one that is originally from Minnesota. I hope that you are staying warm, because I am darn sure that it is probably extremely cold out and there is probably snow on the ground there right now.

I am just wondering if you have had much of a problem with guys doing what this guy is doing because it kind of sounds like you are speaking from personal experience there.

Yeah, its very cold and I try my best to stay warm. :)

It has really only happened to me once before, but I was crushing pretty hard and it took me a while to get over it. It was frustrating and hurtful.
