QUESTION OF THE DAY/OPINIONS WELCOME

[vernecarty]

There is something that flies are really attracted to--it's usually found out on the
lawn in the backyard if you have a dog.

Or a cat that has not been potty-trained...or should that be litter-box trained?

And if you are able to talk enough of it, you'll attract the most flies.

I know yer not talkin'  'bout honey!

Question:

When dealing with people....Which is better?

Quote"
Catching flies with honey or with vingear""

I would say it depends on the kind of people...
Verne

Verne,

I thought tenderhearted's quote was from the Bible, but upon searching for 'honey' I did not find the quote but found this:

Proverbs 5:3 For the lips of an adulteress drip honey, And smoother than oil is her speech;

Like I said, if you want to attract people, honey works best....even foolish women know that.

What does it mean?

"the old boys club"

[editor]

What does it mean?

"the old boys club"

It means that someone is speaking about a "club" to which membership is handed out in a discriminatory and unfair manner.  In other words, an "old boys club" of corporate excecutives might mean that membership is given out due to personal preference instead of actual business skill.

"Old boys clubs" exist. 

What does it mean?

"Beating around the bush?"

[tenderhearted]

Beating around the bush:

Means you are trying to say something but you are taking the long way to say it.

Sometimes it is better to get the other person thinking, because the direct approach is too direct.

What purpose does it serve to rake someone over the coals?

[editor]

What purpose does it serve to rake someone over the coals?

It helps burn off their hair.  That's the main reason.

You ask a lot of stupid, random questions.  Why?

tenderhearted would have made a good leading brother, except that it looks like she's a sister.

LBs were good at asking leading questions to direct the discussion down the path they wanted it to go.  It was never just open for discussion.

Well, that's just the problem isn't it?  This thread says opinions are welcome.
If Tenderhearted asks the question, I'm going to offer an opinion, eh?  (Canadian speak there....)

My opinion is that she is a windbag.

The expression" showing your true colors" mean anything to anyone

[Joe Sperling]

A good example of showing your "true colors" would be if someone, let's say,
takes a nickname that sounds very humble and caring, but inside they are
like a coiled cobra, waiting to strike at anyone who tries to set them straight.
Once this happens they have shown their "true" colors.

They could take a name like "sweetness", yet,  inside be "Monstro".

That would be my definition.

[Joe Sperling]

I have to admit, I was being quite sarcastic in my response. But I must point out a couple
of things. The Thread has in the title "Opinions Welcome"--this does not put a cap on what
type of opinion may be given. On another thread "tender" posted a story about a mouse
being pounced on by a cat every time it visits the lake(a reference to the BB). Then on this
thread asks for the defintion of what "true colors" is. When you mention "picking on "tender",
I have to say that she is putting herself in a position for it by the type of questions she is
asking. Ask a loaded/leading question, get a blunt or sarcastic reply.

Anyone want to take a shot at what a "loaded question" is? (Opinions Welcome).

James 1: 23 & 24 NKJV


.............he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was......


Matthew 7: 1 to 6 NKJV

Judge not ,that you be not judged.
For with what judgement you judge, YOU WILL BE JUDGED; and with the measure you use, IT WILL BE MEASURED BACK TO YOU.
And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?
Or how can you say to your brother, 'LET ME REMOVE THE SPECK from your eye; and look,A PLANK IS IN YOUR OWN EYE/
HYPOCRITE!
FIRST REMOVE THE PLANK from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.


The questions I asked:
--concerning honey vs vingear in regards to flies.
--meaning of old boys club
--true colours
--

They were just simple questions.

WHAT WAS THE REACTION TO THESE QUESTIONS?  POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.

I asked another question:

When the mirror is pointed in your direction, what do you really see.
Is the reflection clear or cloudy?


Sign:  Tender.

p.s. if I get this type of negative reaction, to a few simple questions, using a alias name, what would you do if the true idenity is revealed.
Would it be POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE/

Worth thinking about!

Sign: Just thinking out loud in the observations of reactions:  Tender.
