Hi Harry, just to clarify...
Whilst I don't see the need for use of rough language to express anything on a public forum, 99% of my beef with such language is in its use against people. "My car has been running like crap ever since I installed that new ECU" is fine and very different from "why don't you shut your crap hole". The car cannot be affected by even the coarsest of language, whereas any human can.

Cays,
After all this discussion about how subjective psycho analysis leads no where and means nothing, I'm surprised you want a dedicated thread on it. I promise you nothing but negativity will come of it. There are a thousand quacks for every true psychiatrist/psychologist, and the true ones don't hang out on automotive forums dishing out "heartfelt" analysis after heated arguments on autos and logic, in which
they are personally involved. To use this supposed analysis to attempt to claim superiority after having failed on every factual and logical point
, is the height of quackery. And since the topic of cloaks was brought up earlier in this thread, I might add that this quackery is also the most pathetic of cloaks, most pathetic behaviour , I have yet seen in my entire life.
You never see the psychiatrist mother of a murdered daughter, appointed by the state to determine whether the murderer is insane or not, simply because she is
personally involved and cannot work objectively. Besides, she would actually have to be a psychiatrist in the first place. LOL
Shaun, unlike you, if truth were my only interest in life, honestly I'd be bored. Humans have a trillion dollar trade in lies too - that's called movies. Truth is my mandated principle, but that does not mean I can't watch movies. They're instructive too. Putting our crap into another thread, dedicated to mudslinging, makes a good show. And earn a few bucks for ryan too!
But there's another, rational purpose also.
I know you may hardly have the time, but go watch this show called Battlestar Galactica on Sci Fi channel.
Humans are chased by cylons all across the universe, and human and cylon both seek Earth. But in the meantime, the only humans surviving, all 49K of them, are being stressed like hell by the chase.
In one episode, `
Unfinished Business', anybody who wants can challenge anybody else in the boxing ring, and everybody watches them fight. Sidebets galore. Spectators enjoy themselves. it is very ugly. Blood splatters everywhere. KOs. People get the shit whacked outta them. Those who fight, fight out of whatever reason they personally have - ego issue, can't stand the other bugger, just because he got challenged can't bear to back down, etc.
THe lady civilian boss asks Commander Adama, the military boss - hey boss why do you allow this kind of crap to happen?
Adama says - we're under stressed a zillion miles and there's bad blood among our crew. This lets them relieve these tensions because we gotta work together in the future, rather than to let the bad feelings simmer.
Arrrgh .. shit just read the
transcript:
Roslin: There you are.
Adama: Hey. How are you?
Roslin: My father was an avid fight fan. I adored my father, so I love a good fight. [Dualla works o­n Lee while Starbuck wraps her hands.] I heard about your so-called dance. Accidentally, I might add.
Adama: Don't take it personal. This is sort of a private tradition.
Roslin: Tradition?
Adama: There's a lot of frustration aboard warships. Arguments become grudges, then end up being feuds. This allows them to let off some steam out in the open so everybody can participate. Rank doesn't matter. As long as you throw your tags in the box, everyone's fair game.
(The current match ends.)
Tigh: Next up is Hotdog! Hotdog, get your butt up here and pick a partner.
Roslin: Did you throw your tags in there?
Adama, laughing: No. No. I wish. All the frustrations that I have...
Tigh: who's your partner, Hotdog?
Hotdog: Starbuck.
(The crowd cheers. Helo grins at Starbuck and Kat shouts her name. She shrugs and steps into the ring.)
Starbuck: You gotta be kidding me.
(Helo gets her ready and the bell rings again. They fight. She remembers seeing Lee o­n Main Street. She remembers him pushing past them, and how she almost cried. In the ring, she finally drops Hotdog. Lee and Kara stare at each other.)
