C' mon ATSers, maybe this place really is losing its edge.

So you are saying that you clicked on thsi thread under the impression that it was going to be a compliment? You are saying that you read the topic which is "To all BLEEPING ATSers BLEEP YOU!!!" and you thought it was a compliment?

Pardon me for saying, but I dont believe you. Based on the title alone you had no reason to believe it was anything but an insult.

Im not trying to call you out as a liar ( Im really not) I just have trouble buying that you thought it anything but an insult. But if I am wrong ( that has happened once before, but only once ) I do apologise.

peace my friend.

I believe him. If that thread had been an actual insult, it wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes before it was deleted.

I knew it was a joke or a kissup as soon as I saw the title. Believe me or not.

Thank you for this thread.

I have been working on a research project and this might just have helped me a bit.

BTW the project is: " What is the validity of religious texts(Bible & Qur'an)? Who wrote them, when and why? What makes them valid or not valid as communication from a supreme being?"

It might just be that the validity is not with the material itself but with how the reader perceives it thus making it valid for some and not for others

Thanks again
S&F

Good luck with your project.

It makes me wonder if mis-perception sometimes leads to conflct.

A friend of mine was using my garage to work on his truck he assured me he would have the truck out of the garage at a certain time.

When he ran far past the time he said he would have the truck out of the garage I yelled across the garage at him and said "get the truck out of here"

He seemed a bit upset and I later learned that he had heard what I said as "get the (replace the "TR" in truck with an "F") out of here"

You are absolutely right.

Its like this if Iran readys their naval forces or Air forces because of something that Russia has done and we don't know of this incident which has caused these increased military actions then we(the united states and other country's participating in this current war) are gonna do the same because we are not on good terms with Iran. Now because we have increased our military alertness they are gonna look toward us and say well they must know of the incident that has happened between us and Russia so they are gonna try and attack us when we are weak and are preoccupied with Russia. This could cause them to get agitated and try to attack us before we can attack them. This would concrete our (USA and such) thinking that they were preparing to attack us. All this because of mis-perception. Perception has a great impact on the way we see everything. Not meaning to state the obvious lol.

all this was hypothetical by the way

We can only hope that TPTB take a few deep breaths before they react to what they perceive.

Beautiful lesson on our tunnel vision!! Though we be open minded we tend to slip. Thanks for the reminder. Perception is everything!
