TY And I'm Sorry

[Apricky]

I dont know if it's depression, enlightenment, or just constant praying for

peace..

I've had disagreements with various people on this forum for various

reasons. I never meant to hurt anyone and I'm sorry if anything I said ever

hurt you. There are misunderstandings, but I'd prefer if grudges weren't

held. We're all mature adults.

To any of the staff I've disagreed with, I'd glad we've also been able to

work things out. I'm a moody male, what can I say?

To A Dream Is A Wish (Old) - You are one of the most fascinating people I've ever

met. I respect you as a person, a thinker, an articulator, and hope that

you find peace here.

To Wickil - You've helped me more than you know and I will

miss you, but I cannot stay around forever. Life is calling me to do more

and I know that includes getting off the computer, stopping with the

games, and moving forward.

To Potter - Your tech threads are always enlightening and rewarding. I

hope one day you open your own computer business and make millions.

You deserve better.

To Aaron - If you ever see this, good luck in the national guard. Maybe I

will see you there.

To @tiki - You have to be the sweetest person in the history of the

world. You do a lot for this forum and I think it's your kindness that

makes the sun rise every day.

To those who have posted feeling sad or feeling the need to change

themselves to fit in, it's not necessary here or in life. Be yourself.

To bigballofyarn I know you've thought about removing this place and I respect

your reasons, but talk to your members first.

To Ryanizme - Your faith keeps this world going. I hope your

depression gets better. You above all deserve happiness. I've never heard

a bad thing abuot you in my life. You are great.

To Stumpzzz - sorry if we ever had any disagreements, i'm an assh*le.
Good luck to you and your family.

To Shadow and True Patriot - I wish you'd get along. You both have

remarkable views.

To @spode - You are extremely interesting and I hope you find happiness.

To all nwe members, have fun.

I'm sorry for anyting I've done in the past. I really need a lot of mental

help and I think I'm going to get it eventually. Family and friends

contributed a lot to my illness and I'm sorry if anyone ever felt hurt, lied

to, or wronged. I'm working on being a better person.

Whatever you are going through, taking inventory of your reality and making an effort to improve your situation is as difficult as it is admirable.

I think I read that you going into the National Guard.
If so, do me a favor and always consider the natural rights of your fellow citizens.

Good Luck!

He is leaving for the national guard and I think this is his goodbye.

Good luck friend. Do well out there.

I hope everyone you tagged will see this.

Wicky, I hope everything goes well in the National Guard and that you stay safe.

We appreciate all the things you have said and we've always liked you here, so don't worry about any arguments you may have had with anyone. I don't think that's colored anyone's opinion of you at all.

Life is such a struggle. I don't know exactly what you are going through or have gone through, but as long as you are willing to fight, you will always come out on top. Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you know and better than you know.

His name is Robert Paulson (and he gets sick 3 times a month.)

I wish you the best and will only say I have no personal feelings against TP. He and I are simply different. As for you, I've always found your post interesting.

[Miss Rozelyn]

Enjoy life and everything it has to offer.

[True Patriot]

After Shadow's post I felt compelled to enrage people once more by being direct and not playing the kumbaya game.

I appreciate your comment about my views being remarkable, but must admit that I cannot compete with the views of someone who imposes himself on a lonely woman in a Chinese restaurant who just happens to get a fortune from a fortune cookie predicting the intrusion, pays for a stranger's meal every month and has been to every single state in the United States, among other very 'remarkable' posts and comments.

As Shadow states, he and I are very different.
He gives himself, and is allowed, far more latitude when it comes to being genuine and accountable.
Shallow says he has no personal feelings against TP.
I can only assume that he considers his years of antagonizing True Patriot and others while pandering generally and playing the role of sage across a number of forums as his mission for what I find to be an obvious cause.

As for me, my confronting deceit IS personal.
I detest it and I'm not ashamed to say so.
Deceit needs to be confronted because it is becoming acceptable and prolific.
It is destroying the pillars of integrity that stable societies depend on.
People are becoming too gullible and accepting of untruths because they lack knowledge and depend too much on emotions and perceptions rather than truth.
If you've been truthful, consistent and genuine in your opinions then you have nothing whatsoever to apologize for.

If you're going into the military, even the National Guard, you need to do so with your eyes wide open.
There is evil in this world and you will likely be asked to confront it directly along with supporting occasional humanitarian and relief efforts.

I do not recommend that you avoid making judgments about others as a way of proving your humanity in the military, even if you're planning on being a chaplain.
You will be required to be more discerning, often in quick fashion, in order to accomplish the directives given to you by your superiors.
Whether you're on the front line, driving a truck or processing orders you will be judged based on your actions and will be forced to judge others based on theirs.

As a soldier you are one of the watchdogs and protectors of your country, your state and your fellow citizens.
Considering the current realities, you may be asked to train your gun on those same citizens as was done in New Orleans, Watertown and Ferguson or even be deployed overseas.

Ultimately, the primary job of the military is to be prepared, able and willing to kill people and break things in support of what is determined by politicians to be in the national interest.

Being a soldier is serious business.

I pray that you will take your oath seriously and if put in the position of enforcing illegitimate policies that you will not stand with authoritarians undetered by constitutional restraints.

"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and of my State against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to them; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations. So help me God."

In order to assure your fidelity to your country, your state and your fellow citizens it is incumbent on you to become familiar with both the United States Constitution and your state's constitution.

Be the best you can be for the sake of others who will depend on you.

All the best.

You are right. Many different, unique, and wonderful personalities exist on this forum, including yours. Your presumably last or few to last post was very nice, and I hope people use it to pay their final goodbyes. You were given some great advice as well. We wish you the best.
