Now I won't even begin to suggest I'm always right. After all, unlike Rush Limbaugh, I am capable of fluid thought, adaptation, other perspectives, and am able to avoid popping prescription pills like m&m's too.
Mind you, I pop m&m's as if they were necessary to make me feel better, but I will accord him some sympathy for that addiction, regardless how he started it. And if I present a case and get one-line insults as a response, the chances of my continuing stating facts and inferences diminishes. There are some topics I don't bother with anymore, and the few I do it doesn't seem to make a difference.
While I was often derided as "living inside a bubble" as a child, by people who lacked both a clue and the capacity to fathom irony, amongst other things, I actually lived outside the box. It makes looking inside the box easier. Of course, the bubble comment was literal. The box was figurative. People often tell me I do "think outside the box". I really just comment on observations from "looking inside the box".
And trust me, some kids were cruel in the ways most can't begin to fathom. But it was never their fault for inciting or instigating. It was mine for believing what they said or did. Which is fine; I was young and had some bizarre misconceptions about people - even at that young age...
The cool part was, I didn't grow up entirely warped. And I know the fate of some of those who trespassed against me. Others I can reasonably guess their fate. And for others, they're probably in jail or envy the fictional television character known as Al Bundy.
