let's just treat each other better than what we would treat ourselves.
that's kinda hard for me. I'm an asshole by nature, but I'm working on it. I'll probably live longer if I can learn to be nice to people. Way off topic. It doesn't make me any better to be an equal-opportunity asshole, either. At least in my ethical system it doesn't. Maybe that's not actually so far off topic. We do seem to be converging (at least on this forum, although thankfully not in the real world) on a philosophy that it's okay to be an asshole sometimes, so long as you're an equal-opportunity asshole. I don't really buy it. I'm willing to admit that an asshole is an asshole, no matter whom is sprayed with the excrement emanating from the puckering orifice, even if I'm the asshole.
Well, that was one of the most interesting responses to my comments.
