hey there say, ron... did you get the card for you, and one for jim...

hope so, :)

good to hear an update...
as, we know-- it is hard on families, and that is the part that folks
sometimes forget about-- being that some folks don't have wives and kids...

Groaz, can I ask what is your name? Do you live in Italy?
Jim had a GREAT trip to Trento, we spoke a lot about it when he got home and what a wonderful time he had, what great people are in Italy.
Over the years he talks about "Giovanni", Jim definately liked climbing and hanging with him, holds him true to his heart.
Thanks to you, if you helped host Jim, and thanks to everyone in Trento who hosted Jim, it was a wonderful trip for him. He had a blast.
Peace

so he partied and put up some brave, desperate routes.

accolades to him.

but his fukin politics are such that he turns his back
on people in need. welfare moms of legitimate hardship.
immigrants from horribly impoverished countries; refugees from
war torne countries. ek-fukin-cetera.

i'll not send jim a dime.
that dude treated his body like shite and saved no coin for it's impending failure.

jim had selective courage.
now he is the exact person whom he criticizes and shuns with his voting habits.

pmac o.g. you're panties are in a cinch, sir.

please counter constructively any of my above statements.

jim doesn't deserve help.

because his need is voluntary. he planned it via a fringe lifestyle.

there are millions of people whom have inherrited real need and the dumb f*#k party that jim stands boldly behind turns their cold, hypocritical backs on these humans.

f*#k you right back sir.

and gomez, your insult of 'certified kook' shows your emotional immaturity. put that on your to do list, grow up, old man.

note to crew:
fleeting's hardly and "outsider."

you've taken him under your wings in his adorable other self,
as norwegian, bratty little miscreant poet of death in life,
since i was a n00b here and so, lighten up just a wee bit and
give him his say, to which he's entitled.

A question to ponder..........

Is life about judgement or about compassion?

Huh, Norwegian, Fleeting? I have always enjoyed your posts here as well as your writing styles. Apologies for my harshness sir, I merely thought it lame to post that you won't pitch in cause you disagree with him.
Anyhow, cheers, ya'll!

Mr. Fleeting,

There are obvious exceptions, but a charitable impulse shouldn't be criticized. It's one of the few things we have left.

Great story, Kat....I'm sure there are plenty stories out there about everyone and they be good and/or bad, they are what makes us who we are. I believe like you...I will defend my friends as I know them, to the end. I got my friends backs and many times I have their friends backs as well. I will be the first to admit, Jim and I have our differences, but we ACCEPT that about each other. We don't write each other off simply because of opinion differences. We learn from each other, even if we still disagree. I've got plenty of stories of Jim and I screaming at each other, calling the other every obscenity known to man, but in the end, we always leave each other saying, I Love you. Jim is a dear friend, has his opinions, is one of the most generous, kind hearted, selfless people I know. I could write a book on all the times I've witnessed him showing goodness toward other people, he may not even know. I accept and respect his opinions, morals, ethics and friendship. I will remove my negative post, it just got me what was said and the way it was said. I got Jim's back.
Peace

Fleeting, perhaps no one "deserves" anything. But love exists. Giving help (love) to another human expands the hearts of both the giver and receiver. It bonds them with love.
