Classical Celt aka Chris O'Connors father

Classical Celt

Hello to all members. It's hard to believe but I am Chris O'Connor's dad and I was not a member until recently. I am hoping to have a good time reading the books and also to chat on the EZBoard. Since I am new to this I will be in the big learning curve for awhile but I am a fast learner. Lets see what happens. I know some of the members and you know who you are. I will be interested in reading your input. Be patient with me folks.

The one thing of which I am positive is that there is much of which to be negative - Mr. P.

It's genetic and there is nothing I can do about it. He was born like this and I'll have to admit I am much the same. Thanks for the comment I'll try not to double your troubles.

Thanks guys. I am not so sure how happy Chris is but we'll learn as time goes by. You may learn I am a little weird.

I find this medium very interesting. First I look at the comments of others which then puts me in mind to make a statement of my own and of course I am still a little shy about this but give me time. That won't last. Actually I have a big mouth. I have already decided to comment on some peoples entries but not yet. I don't think enough is being said about why members feel the way they do rather they quote a lot of other people. I was hoping to discover people using and showing their rational for decision making. I went to school also and I am more than familiar with the opinions of other fine great minds. I am interested in learning how people use their own thinking process to discover the world. Maybe I'll ask some specifics soon. Thanks each of you who have welcomed me to the site. You may regret that later.

Wow thats a strange feeling. I suppose if he can edit my intro line he can edit everything I write. Do you suppose he might try doing that. Why the rascal. I'll take him out. Now I'll have to watch his every move. You would think he would except me as I am but no he just had to edit me. ::97

while not quite what you would call an expert, i have been participating in forums and their predicesor on usenet for nearly ten years now. i have noticed that it is quite easy in this medium to fire off a quick highly opinionated response without taking a moment to reflect on one's thoughts and expound on the decision making process in coming to such a conclusion. the best way to combat this unfortunate communication barrier inherent in online communications is asking a follow up question to clearify someone's view points. often a request to clarify and expound will provide the original poster a moment to reflect and sometimes even change their opinion provided contrary evience. ideally, as with in real life communications, through diologue we learn more about the word, ourselves, and other people while also either forming new ideas or obtaining new information to verify our predisposed points of view. cheers!

WishWas: In response to your guestion about my political leanings: How do you define "political Leanings?" If you mean am I a registered voter, the answer is yes. Republican! But that does not mean I am leaning their way on all things. I have never liked any political party completely. I will say I am a Capitalist, with a large C. I hate the anti-trust laws of this country. I do not believe the rich should pay a higher percent of their earnings into income-tax than do other people. I am an Objectivist philosohically.
