Foxy, so what natural talent did you possess, or were you like everyone else who had to learn something to actually become a viable person in society.
You say you value those who have studied or are educated, of course you do, DUH, you are one of them.
The typical thug bogan nasties you speak of are people just like the rest of us, but for the fact that you think you are the exception in that description.
It is merely YOUR opinion that they are not nice.
It is obvious from your history, as you yourself have reported, that you have not been exposed to the real world, and the little you have witnessed has incensed your delicate sensibilities.
You are confused, you say to be nice to everyone but not to some.
You believe in something, but not always.
Foxy are you a person or a computer?
You are inconsistent in your views, and that means you are not stable in your stance about things, or another way of describing your mindset is, you are mentally unstable.
This is not an unusual trait or problem, as all too many people suffer from the same thing, and judging by the comments by some here on OLO, I believe they speak for themselves.

ALTRAV,

Perhaps you should read what I actually write.

I take people as I find them. And grunters exist
everywhere - amongst the educated and not the educated.
I don't judge people by their qualifications. I've
known some big grunters (pigs with attitude) amongst
all sorts of people.

So my advice to you is - don't be a grunter or you'll end
up all alone with only the support of other grunters whose
only flairs are in their nostrils.

As for what talents I have?

I'm too busy being awesome to list everything here for you.
I have not lead a cloistered life. On the contrary - I've
travelled all over the world - working and living in several
continents - meeting all sorts of people and I dare say -
my outlook and experience would far out weigh anything
of yours. But this is not a competition - and you're the
one who seems insecure. But don't worry - I'm sure the
grunters on this forum and your own family love you to bits.

So chin up - stop grunting and looking for problems where
there aren't any. Don't be a grunter - and you'll do better.

Foxy, I can't let you get away with some of your imaginary achievements.
There is NO WAY you have any advantage over me, grunter or not.
I know my contribution to society, and not just Australia, but internationally would put your holiday stories to shame and pale into insignificance by comparison.
But as this is not a competition, I won't press.
Suffice to say, I have done, seen and contributed far more to this world than you, so I deserve a sizable amount more respect from you and your ilk, until or unless you cam match or exceed me.
You and your running mates, hate it when someone actually comes off ahead or above you, and you say it's not a competition?
I will never cede to those who seek to gain unjustified favour or positions far above their natural state or ability in life, and I will not start now.
So to be clear, anyone who has one of these flowery pieces of paper that implies they have a degree in social and other 'soft'subjects, like an arts degree, or vocation, well you know what you can do with them.
I say to them, try studying for something useful.
TOO HARD, I hear you say.
Ah, now we are getting somewhere

ALTRAV,

Here you go again - grunting as usual.
Behaving like the proverbial pig with attitude.

Why are you so insecure? You don't need my validation
or approval - why should it matter to you what I think of you.
Frankly, I could care less
what you have or haven't achieved.

My own achievements I
am fully aware of. As are my colleagues, friends,
and family. You are not part of my inner circle.

And, you have no idea - and that's as it
should be on an anonymous forum such as this one.

And any attempts to try to out do me or any one else for
that matter - would be pointless. Firstly -
your achievements or lack of them - don't really
matter one way or another to anyone else but you.
You know what you have or haven't achieved. Be happy
with that. It shouldn't matter what any one else thinks.

Look to your own
family and close friends for validation. A forum such as
this one is not the place to try to do it.

You have nothing to prove to anyone.
And your persistence in telling people how great you
are - only smacks of a huge insecurity. We're not here
to massage your ego. Get your wife and family to do that.

There's a good chap.

Foxy, I definitely am not looking to you for validation but more of your cheap comebacks, so don't presume that I am trying to seek anything FROM you, as we all know what you have to offer is not worth having.
All that you have mentioned in your last post is of your fabrication and contrivance.
I was responding to your low brow attack on myself.
You, on the other hand freely and willingly exposed yourself and offered to demonstrate to us all on OLO, your true character and emotional make-up.
You are the one feeling insecure and threatened by the truth, and your posts clearly confirms it, time and time again.
I don't have anything against you; and your right, we are in a forum which, like any forum, is never a good idea to reveal ones residential details, only to explain or expound on personal details if asked.
Foxy, I suggest you do not read my posts any more, because I can still see that you get upset and very emotional, which is not good for your health and well-being.
I do not wish to imagine you in any way other than skipping through the tulips, with flowers in your hair, sniffing them as you go.
Go in peace, oh sensitive little butterfly.

ALTRAV,

Thank You for those beautiful last couple of sentences.
Most unexpected. But a pleasant surprise.

When I was growing up my mother explained to us as children
what miracles were. I reminded her - and wrote the following
to her on her 90th Birthday. Because of your kind words to me
I would like to share the thoughts with you:

As beautiful as the most awesome of sunsets
As vast as a clear, cloudless sky
As bright as the first twinkling star in the evening
As rare as a jewelled butterfly...
As wondrous as blossoms unfolding their splendour
As wise as the tallest of trees
As grand as the mountains that reach to the heavens
As free as a light-hearted breeze
You're the best of God's gifts -
His most precious creation -
A one-of-a-kind, perfect you:
And here in this strange little forum
is a time to give
thanks and remember
That you are a miracle too.

Keep up the kind thoughts!
This forum needs more of them.
