the difference is I don’t want anything from you. I don’t need you to do anything to inhance my view of success. I simply don’t care if you want to earn minimum wage. I don’t care if you never use air conditioning or a heater. Because nothing you do makes a difference in the world I live in.
Yet for some reason you berate me in thread after thread.
What i am saying is you are spitting into the wind. You ideas of putting in washing machines on nature trails falls flat. Your idea of working for less so the company can lower their product cost isn’t happening.
What the difference is you have to convince the people that are happy and have the power and votes to keep things going to change to see any movement in your supposed thought. So you need others to change to your ideas and others don’t need you to do anything to stay successful.
I quoted you I didn’t change what you said. It was a direct quote and you had a chance to explain it. Look it over again.
You can deny what you said and that also I can just let stand on its own.
But you are right, we are different and that also makes me happy.

No one can conserve common resources on their own. If there is a plate with snacks at a party and you only take one, that won't stop others from taking so many that some people end up with none. You can say that people should be mindful and considerate of others, but you can't force them. Still, what goes around comes around.
No one has to change to my ideas. If I say that LCF can save you money so you don't run out as fast, some people will do it and have more money saved while others won't and they might run out of money when income is hard to come by. It's that simple. All I am doing is reminding people that if you save money sooner rather than later by LCF, you might have more later on when you need it. I don't have to convince anyone to agree with me on that. It's just a fact.
You spin it to imply that I find myself superior and that enlightening others requires that they be inferior in some way. Enlightened people can enlighten each other without trumping each other. You should learn that.
I don't think you're capable of differentiating between what I say and your interpretation of its implications.
Good, then stop harassing me about things you either disagree with, don't understand, or both at the same time.

You will be happy riding to work if you actually have a job! So I surmise.

I think Tandempower needs to ride to work more often so he is happier.
Just make sure you guys provide him water to drink along the way along with a washing machine and a dryer.

Also, if you disagree you can post about why you disagree without being aggressive toward me. Just post about how you think, what you see and how you interpret it, etc. I may disagree with you and post about it, but if I use aggression and harass you, please let me know and I will try to apologize.

Oh yeah, biking to work makes you happier. Then please explain this quote from BF in Commuting:
"On Monday and Tues, I'm okay. On Wednesday, I'm getting sick and tire of commuting by bike. On Thursday, I'm really hating it. By Friday, I usually wake up and dread the bike ride and sleep in, then just drive the car."

If you don't understand something, you can ask questions and try or you don't have to bother if you prefer not to. There is no need for you to harass me and start going on about all the things I've said that you dislike and how 'people' disagree with me, etc.
Also, if you disagree you can post about why you disagree without being aggressive toward me. Just post about how you think, what you see and how you interpret it, etc. I may disagree with you and post about it, but if I use aggression and harass you, please let me know and I will try to apologize.

When people offer up a refutation or counterargument -- the top three tiers of this model -- you frequently and immediately devolve the discussion to tone or ad hominem by claiming that others are not participating as you see fit/

I ride a bike to work sometimes, or take public transport, neither option is great.
Work sucks, for many, if not most people.
