Rickard Andersson wrote: Like that God thing before... gosh, I almost feel sorry now after because if I've hurt some "deep" person... I don't know which thing you mean ( I'm sure I will find it ), but I don't think you should ever feel that you shouldn't present your opinion if asked for it. It's all in the delivery. I am a Christian, but my beliefs are robust enough that I am happy to have them challenged, or to be told that others reject them. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

... can't I just learn to shut up sometimes!!? :mad: When I have a thought about something, I really say my word about it even if it has its price! :~ :~ Like that God thing before... gosh, I almost feel sorry now after because if I've hurt some "deep" person... :~ But what the heck, I just said what I word!? Is it wrong to say what one think? Tell me, do you think I need to turn down my attitude? :~ :| Rickard Andersson@Suza Computing C# and C++ programmer from SWEDEN!

Everybody is entitled to their informed opinion. Rickard Andersson wrote: Like that God thing before... gosh, I almost feel sorry now after because if I've hurt some "deep" person... But what the heck, I just said what I word!? Remember when it comes to Religion and crap like that, you'll never be able to change a persons beliefs - so if you think what you say will offend then don't say it. Even if that person is an idiot ;-) Think before you speak, but never be afraid to speak your mind - unless it is to a judge or a policeman. :-D Michael Fat bottomed girls You make the rockin' world go round -- Queen

I am, as CG says, robust enough :-D Rickard Andersson wrote: Is it wrong to say what one think? IMO it is wrong NOT to say what you think. I want to punch people who stand around like bar flys and never say what they think. Everyone has an opinion, so express it. And as Meg. said, oppose the person's idea, not the person (unless what you want to oppose is the actual person in which case be careful but still do it.) And as you can see, while some people think of me as a fool, I still express my opinions, ideas and naivities :-D

IMO = In My Opinion IMHO = In My Humble Opinion (which it rarely ever is humble) Rickard Andersson wrote: But there could be some people here how belief that God theory and then I don't know really if I did hurt someone Sounds cruel but I believe if someone really got hurt over the statement you made then they were cruising for a world of hurt anyway. i.e. Your statement made them reassess a fragile belief they had, so you were doing them a favour anyway.

Ooh - Ooh!!!! I've been waiting for you to turn up in a thread all morning! How was it, did you see it, did it rain, did you hijack someone's web cam and film it??? :jig: :jig: :jig: :-D

How was it, did you see it, did it rain, did you hijack someone's web cam and film it??? :mad: Now I know why my co-workers webcam was so damned cheap. It sucks. Got up early, scooted over to work, pointed the webcam, made some tea, kicked the webcam, kicked it again. The only good picture I got was of my thumb! The damned webcam simply could not handle the contrast and brightness of the scene. I flipped all the dials, pressed all the buttons, moved all the sliders but either the picture was just one big Polar Bear In A Snow Storm or it was Thabo In An Oil Field. *sigh* So that was a complete failure, damned webcam. All it is good for is setting up Pauls Pleasure Palace.com. News24 has some good pics though[^] So sorry about that, was disapointed myself (in the webcam, not the eclipse, which was pretty cool even from Cape Town with only a 60% occlusion.)

Oh well, very kind of you to try :), I'm pleased it was good! 28 years till the next similar show down there apparently. They say it was raining in Limpopo where there was 100%. Seems a waste...

Share your opinion, but also listen to the opinions of others; be humble enough to accept when you may be wrong, or don't know. Ignore any tips you may hear or read on how to debate well - the objective is to learn and to help others learn, not to "win"... ...Or just mouth off & see how big a flame war you can get going; we all need that at one time or another. ;)
