thinking more about Colin's story this morning

Posted by Reagen Aug 27 '13, 09:26

I think some of it is that you process confrontation and risk differently after you have a kid. Not that I'm right and he's wrong - just that the calculus is different. I also thought more about why I'd be wary of that situation and it comes down to - don't provoke someone whose emotional state you can't gauge.

I was pretty shocked that the guy actually threatened to 'beat the shit' out of a woman in broad daylight. Like seriously? -- nm - Shaun Aug 27, 09:30 6

I'm with you, and I don't have kids. - Kim Pine Aug 27, 09:29 19
- What Kim is politely saying without saying is that I aggressively confront people who are wrong. -- nm - David Aug 27, 09:45 18
  - I call this the "Self-deputized" perspective. -- nm - landbeck Aug 27, 10:03 2
    - With $50 billion, I'd easily be Batman. -- nm - David Aug 27, 10:04 1
      - It's only fascism if you're *rich* -- nm - landbeck Aug 27, 10:07
  - You're not alone. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 09:52
  - You're definitely a horn blower. I always worry about someone having road rage and turning around and coming after me. - Kim Pine Aug 27, 09:50 5
    - I am too. I could definitely survive in Chicago. 1 hand on the wheel, the other ready to hit the horn. -- nm - Jim Aug 27, 09:54
    - I have gotten better, but still, some days, I snap. - groiny Aug 27, 09:52 3
      - For them or for you? -- nm - David Aug 27, 09:53 2
        
        for them. - groiny Aug 27, 09:56 1
        
        i got out of my car once when someone was honking at me to go at a stop sign. - Andie Aug 27, 10:05
  - You also aggressively confront people when YOU'RE wrong. nm - Jim Aug 27, 09:47 7
    - Like I'm ever wrong. -- nm - David Aug 27, 09:52 1
      - you dropped an "n" -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 09:53
    - Speaking of your wrongness...haven't seen any of your thoughts on the Survivor cast. Did they bring back anyone you like? -- nm - Jim Aug 27, 09:49 4
      - I haven't looked yet. I'm leaning toward not watching until The Racist is gone. -- nm - David Aug 27, 09:54 2
        
        I've been trying to see if I can find how long he lasts. But I really don't want to have the season spoiled for me anymore than it already has been - Jim Aug 27, 09:56 1
        
        Although, with 2 people from his season on a tribe with him. - Jim Aug 27, 09:59
      - is this a trick question? - groiny Aug 27, 09:50
