What makes you better than everyone else?

[Christy]

I have a better thumb.

I beg to differ. I'm bionic now.

See Tonio, MM is a prime example. You would be hard pressed to find another human who has had the effed up life he has. If I were him I would have jumped off a bridge a long time ago holding an anvil. Yet you rarely here him complain.

Thumb wrestle for the title?

Because your weekly testimonies about your lifelong victimization at the hands of your cruel parents/ extended family/bullies in school/coworkers/ convenience store clerks/ people in traffic and people who thought you were gay now sounds Montell-esque and resembles fingernails on a blackboard and every post you make oozes for sympathy because you had a hard paper route as a kid?

I'm not asking for sympathy and I don't expect it. Part of is that I just need to vent about this stuff. In my mind, there's no question that I somehow brought the maltreatment on myself somehow. I just don't know what I did or what I didn't do to bring it on.

I see it like this--if I'm trying to drive nails into wood and I keep bending the nails, obviously I'm doing something wrong. Either someone can show me what I'm doing wrong, or I can figure it out for myself. The problem is, when I'm interacting with people, I have no idea what they think about my behavior. Sometimes I get clues, but no definite answers as to how I can change my behavior. I don't want to end up like my father, who can't get a post-civil-service contractor job because of his reputation as rude and crass.

As for my family, I cut them off because I refused to let them be rude and insulting to my wife and kids any longer. I had confronted my family about it and they didn't stop, so I needed to take responsibility as a husband and father and say "enough".

Well, I did see "The Searchers," so I learned that if you pursue Natalie Wood across the desert for years, you'll find her in full makeup.

See what you get when you are the John Wayne type Natalie Wood in full makeup. A wussy would get Roseanne Barr in spandex pants and a belly shirt.

I don't get your poitn about wussiness. I went through a phase in junior high where I was throwing punches at anyone who even laughed at me.
