I just read this statement:

"I think it's still socially unacceptable to say things to others that we would say to ourselves," Patrick said.
"We don't filter our judgments of ourselves in the same way that we filter judgments of others."


Is that true in your experience?


Truly...

Since I'm not a giant jackass, yes, I'll filter what I say. Never a good idea to say everything and anything that crosses your mind.

People I know will whisper "filter" to me furiously at times. My girlfriend often makes me promise to say nothing if my answer is going to upset people. tongue

It's funny, I try not to be an ass, so I will just say nothing most of the time, but if you ask me for my opinion, I'm going to give it.

I'm not much for cussing actually. Only on the outpost, where those idiots need to have some reinforcing words or they don't realize you are serious.

Yes, i filter myself constantly. I have to censor myself on these forums all the time.

otherwise I'd go around using words like c***, f***, s***, p***, etc...

For me it is situational. Work, I'll filter - or if I know the person is not comfortable with how I might usually speak/present issues.

Otherwise, no.

this

Its on a situation by situation basis though. If someone has a loved one that has passed I dont go up to them and say, "well theyre probably better off dead than living on this stinking planet" or something crude like that.

However if I think someone needs to hear a hard truth whether they want to or not they will hear it. grin That way there is rarely ever any miscommunication or misunderstanding of where one stands with me. Id rather be upfront and honest with people. That way I dont waste invested time and energy into a relationship/friendship to have him/her find a trait to be undesirable enough to end said friendship.

I try, I often don't succeed when it comes to strangers doing stupid crap with their kids. usually related to taking them outside without covering their feet or not having a coat or blanket for them, even though they put one on themselves.

of course, in the winter time. summertime, people with their babies out in the sun for hours and hours is another rant though.

I don't otherwise really have a need to talk to random people or a have much of a need to edit what I say, as I don't walk around making judgments on everyone all the time. (unless my daughter and I are people watching.)

No I don't.

I was at costco today with my dear mother (she has a costco card dancing , $50 in my pocket) and I was standing watching the cart in a high traffic area. When another man abandoned his to walk around a pallet. So this lady is pushing her cart up and im like great.. more traffic and she'll want to get past. So I politely push the cart out of the way for her. Not even a thanks. Instant "Hey C-word, say thanks."

So the other night im at work and we have this policy that on Mondays and the last day of the month we stay a extra hour. Well it was leap day and someone politely reminded me we have to stay. So I replied with "Are you s-ing me?" right when a boss passed by us and she turned her head and gave me a puzzled look.

So Friday night after work go down to hit up the strip club for a beer. 5 beers in a bucket for $10. My buddy is a regular and always has a few girls sitting with him. Ranking our boss's in order and I let it out that so and so is a huge C-word. A few girls looked at me for a second then all went back to normal.

I really don't give a F.

Its also funny because Boise is full of Mormons and Nazarenes.
