Thats fine.
I agree, if it's a formal situation I'll do it, but otherwise, it's not really my thing... I try to give a firm handshake but I don't really care in all honesty - and I could care less whether or not the other person's handshake is firm. It just doesn't matter to me.Quote:

And I definitely don't think you learn anything about someone from their handshake.
I'd say that my opinion regarding this is about the same as yours.Quote:

When I was a teenager, my friend's uncle recovered from a stroke, and would grip your hand really hard, in a friendly way , like he was saying "See, I'm still very strong even though.....". For somebody of his age and medical history, it was impressive.
I think that when being congratulated, or under other special circumstances, people will usually shake hands with more strength and feeling. Most of the time, it's not important.
Why do you have to ALWAYS insult as many people as possible BA? Why? Just answer that, i dont want you get lemon with me, just a simple question.
I must be slow to grasp because it seems a lot of times my hand gets stuck halfway and I end up getting my fingers squeezed... I suck at handshakes...
I would answer your question if I knew what you are talking about, and agreed that I "ALWAYS insult as many people as possible.", which I do not think I do.Quote:

It's not just this though is it? It's almost every thread you post on, you end up having an argument. I just want to know why you feel the need to insult, and put down as many people as possible. It just seems you are insecure, and need to prove to people how smart you are, simply by telling them they are stupid, or treating them as ignorant children.Quote:

I dont want another argument with you, not only am i right and i would win, but i cant be bothered.
I would just like to know why? - Because you called me out on it before now, so im calling you out... And i'm sure most people on the board would like to know why too, concidering they have to put up with it.
Relax! I don't have to answer to you for anything. You'll just get yourself banned again if this keeps up.Quote:

Run along and get back to your insults.Quote:

Used to - not anymore. I was merely asking a question, and BA answered it with a perfect example. Cant ask fairer than that.
To be honest, i cant be bothered to argue with the people on a cannabis site. - I'm trying to be more layed back - of course if they want one they are entitled to it, and i'll give it, otherwise, im just going to stay a nice chap.
Don't worry lip, its cool. Anyone who agrues with him is just tapping on the glass to watch him get all flustered. At least thats what I do.
Hes got something to prove in everything he says, which is fine I suppose. But I respond to him for entertainment purposes only. That is, until he runs to the mods and tattles on people. He can have nifty quotes in his sig and a cute avatar, it just makes it easier to spot him out when I scroll through threads.
But I did think it was a little ironic when, in post 65, he began again when his last thread ended up the way it did...something about post #65s
http://boards.cannabis.com/feedback-...8-threats.html
And then after that, 'threatened' me post #80. And I use the term threatened very loosely, as it was more a post-tattle sneer.
So yes, it is obvious (even to ignorant characterless folk like myself) after he tattled that he wanted to continue it....but I have no desire to be play in the band, as I like it here.
Im gonna go buy a new ZONG in an hour and I have some NL dried and ready to go....so I just prefer to stick around here ;)
I'm the one that's "amused", because I don't threaten people. And if I am wrong about something, I'll apologize. THAT is a big part of what being a man is about.Quote:

How can you call him out and then say?Quote:

However, I couldn't be in the same room listening to your pathetic "the sky is falling" whining.
You are the type of a person who can *ruin* a high. I would imagine you spend alot of time smoking by your lonesome.
I haven't smoked since '06 - had too many responsibilities. Now, I've got other interests, I've already smoked enough for 10 lifetimes, and I'm doing fine without it. Don't even know if I want to anymore, since I don't like most of what is available here anyway.
You will see, when you're older, that life goes by very fast - and you must take responsibility for your actions, and words, because you don't get a second chance.

Its like you reserve the last 1/2 of your posts for some off the wall; out of left field bull. I think you are doing some other kind of drugs...or maybe 10 lifetimes of pot has fried your brain into some kind of anti-social leper that plagues a cannabis smokers board. You are ruining highs as you type.
hahaha yeh, i guess it is, i mean.. in england, you can take a lighter to someones hand or arm, or smiley them, and get away with it, in america it would be diferent im sure...Quote:
I'm a bit like that. I dont really like fights, or arguments, but my pride is too much and i cant back down. When someone starts something with me i make sure i finish it. I think i got that from my dad though. The bastard. - I'm fucked - i dont like fighting yet i do it every time i get the chance.
But if it's just a muck around it's cool, it's just like going for a bike ride - just using a bit of energy up and then afterwards we can smoke a Jay. I wonder if it's a brit thing? LOL - beat up your friends for fun rofl.
That depends on where you are here. America's a big place, with many different people and customs. New York streets were rough, when I was growing up, but not as bad it later became in the 70's and 80's. It started to get much better in the 1990's. These things go in cycles.Quote:

Chill folks, we're all cool here.
:)
before this piss-fest gets closed, i'd also like to ask why? i mean, you always seemed like a cool cat.. i've known you longer then most anyone has.... well not known you, but i've been reading your posts more than most have... and you were never like this...
you are like just stirring up shit... for the last week or two... at first i just attributed it to ignorant people getting on your nerves, but now it's like you're just looking for places to fling shit....
so what's going on man? is there something youw anna talk about or what? cuz you have seemed really out of character lately... almost like someone's hacked the BA account and is a completely diffrent person now, just here to stir up shit....
i dunno what happened to start this, but you really need to chill man.. if you don't believe what we're telling you, get a friend over to read your posts... tell them to spare no feelings for you cuz they're your friend and to read the posts biased friendly.... i can almost 100% garuntee they're going to tell you the same things i just did, and members before me have.
you're clearly flinging shit, there's no denying, hiding or covering it up....
This thread reminds me of 'Dogs'
'Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile'
I think it's awkward when you stick your hand out, and they look at it, and you're just hanging there. Waiting.
I shake hands with anyone over 30. Otherwise, I give 'em a hug if it's an informal setting.
Everything's OK - it's nothing to worry about. I guess I was in a shit-stirrer mood. I had a near-volatile incident with somebody on the subway a couple of weeks ago. That probably started it. It takes time to "uncrazy" yourself sometimes.Quote:

i never had an old man, but i have learned a strong handshake
Quite easily. I asked him a question, and i got a reply. We didnt have an argument, and i put that i didnt want an argument. - So, whats your post all about?Quote:

No, no. This isn't carrying on any more. This thread has already spawned more trouble than it's worth. Let's end the trend that was so unfortunately started here, OK? I'm putting the lock on this one.
