Bridge Collapse

[yesman065]

I was sad that people died. that is all - it was a time for mourning the loss of life - humans died don't you get that tw? I am aware of the aging infrastructure of our country. I am aware that something could have and possibly should have been done long ago - THAT IS NOT THE POINT.

Discussing the hows and whys weren't appropriate. Having human feelings is normal and expressing them here is what I do. I post to express my feelings because I have them. You may feel the need to point fingers and assess blame - well good for you. Don't criticize me because, in this case, I'm sad that people died. If that is your goal or aim or need why don't you start looking into how unsafe every skyscraper built 50 years ago is or take on the failing roadways or a multitude of other issues where tragedies have not yet happened instead of taking backhanded, thinly veiled pot shots at me and my emotions and then claiming they weren't there.

Demonstrated again is exactly the point made repeatedly in previous posts. Yesman065 was criticized zero times in that first post. However Yesman065 took offense anyway - assumed criticism that clearly and obviously did not exist.

Point One: show me, Yesman065, a quote where you were criticized? You cannot. That post simply compared and contrasted a difference in how we view things. What that post did was blantantly and logically obvious - zero insults. Your above quote says grasping reality should occur later after appropriate grief is expressed. First take stock of emotions. Fine. And that is what my post said - a logical comparison how two people see the same thing.

But Yesman065 continued with his emotions Point two: somehow you expanded your emotion into rationalizing a personal attack. That is bull - a complete lie. Now Yesman065 used emotions to also lie and to attack tw. Not only did you invent a mythical insult, but you used that mythical insult to attack another. Point two says 'shame on Yesman065'.

Yesman065 has no interest in 'hows or whys' - as he clearly states. He even charactertizes a grasp of reality as "weren't appropriate". Fine. And so the most accurate post compared and contrasted how two people grasp events; one with emotion and the other more concerned with human life - such as all other school busses in the country. But then Yesman065 followed that with a meltdown; further entertained his emotons as to even invent mythical insults.

Meanwhile, the very first thing one does during such events is ask 'how and why'. Time for emotions comes long after all events have been grasped.

What happened when a boat with 125 gallons of gasoline has a fire? Fortunately, no one entertained their emotions. Everyone logically grasped and then performed a task - each without instruction - which is why we all lived and the boat was saved. In silly movies where people are screaming - those people wasting time and putting both themselves and others at risk by entertaining their emotions.

Compared and contrasted - first - was how two people view a same event. Then - second - compared and contrasted is how one is so emotional as to invent insults and then attack others - due to something that exists only in his head. Same mythical insults are common in the self centered heads of a typical Valley Girl. One more concerned with her own emotions rather than with responsiblity to others. Yesman065 is accused of inventing insults where none existed - except in his head.
