Now, let m...Great blog post as we expect from you. Now, let me school you on the RIGHT way to write a blog! lol!! (I saw it in Wikipedia)<br /><br />I feel like more and more people are not educated on manners. I didn't used to think that I was mannerly either, but I've come to find myself to be in a position of being the most polite person I know most of the time. These days it seems everyone feels obliged to foist their opinions on you, not just about health but religion and politics, two topics that people used to be told, as children, to never mention around those whom you're not familiar. I guess these lessons are no longer taught in today's world. <br /><br />It's especially bad with engineers Julie. You'd best steer clear of them! Straight from a Dilbert cartoon, their motto is "every conversation is a competition in which I MUST win". What's curious about this situation is that sometimes you can literally make these people argue themselves into a contradiction. I've successfully steered chains of emails in which the person continually tells me everything I say is wrong, so I just gradually guide it back around to his initial statement, which he then is compelled to also say is wrong so as not to "agree" with me!! I don't even point out their contradiction.<br /><br />But then, you're studying law...if you become a lawyer, this is precisely the skill you'll likely need!<br /><br />I think many of these people, the know-it-alls and the one-uppers, are socially-challenged and, as I said, just ignorant of manners. Others are, sadly, just jerks! What can you do?<br /><br />Jonesee is another in a long line of interesting and obviously very intelligent vloggers, such as yourself, and even though I don't do running I do enjoy listening to her stories and information. I really strive to be compelling in what I do too, because it's fun and frankly even useful to myself to look back at.Berthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900612834570172510noreply@blogger.com
