Fair enough. That makes things clearer. Thank you. My main practical concern then is that the gate is still open for reprisal. I've dealt with some... interesting individuals. And one thing I've noticed is that they are not above vengeance. I've found it through experience to be...

I have a number of practical and ethical concerns, but what sparked this whole thing is that I don't like the attitude you expressed. These were your words: "she tried to make a fool of you... Why don't you have the right to do it back?" There was a dark time in my life where that was a...

You win the rest of the crowd over. I once had a kid walk behind me when I was busking and saw my classic palm. He spent a lot of time afterward following me around crowing that he was smarter than me and knew all of my secrets. I smiled and humored him. "That would be one way to do it."...

So you assume my belief comes from solipsistic ignorance? I've never seen you perform. Given the odds, I just erred on the side of probability. I thought it was directed at me personally and it was phrased in the manner of creating a false choice. No. If you've never seen an Aikido...

I'm an atheist myself. I just submitted those quotes for consideration because honestly, the argument of who is and isn't a real Christian is something I prefer not to get involved in. Too messy, even for me. I learned those passages from Mark Edward. I thought they might be a nice...

Oh quit your ****ing crying. Insult comedy is great when it works. But for every guy who can make it work, there's a hundred who can't. Given those odds, you're probably not one of the former. Using a "super impossible" or whatever trick to embarrass someone into shutting up is a dick move...

Are you Don Rickles? No? Then you're playing with fire. I prefer Aikido to butting heads. The Brian Tudor approach to dealing with hecklers is for immature little boys who can't handle a crowd and believe they have something to prove.

http://pittandpendulum.blogspot.com/2010/06/review-self-working-mental-magic-by.html Re-posted from my blog, The Pitt and the Pendulum. Today we're going to do the first official review for the blog. I thought a good place to start would be to bridge the gap between magic and...

This drunk guy at a bar just demeaned my masculinity and questioned my parentage. Why shouldn't I kick the crap out of him? Don't I have the right to fight back? If the best you can think of is petty vengeance, then you have very little imagination and even less self-control.

I have two ebooks on my site (signature). Might not be your thing, though. I know nothing about you, so there's a chance either you wouldn't care about the subject material or you're not at the level where you can make use of it.

Your education comes first, kid. Get your degree. That said, use better time management and ask yourself if you're actually training or just going through the motions.

Two problems with that. First of all, that's basically a Chicken Soup book. Second, most people here are armchair magicians, amateurs. They're so far from professional you may as well ask the laity. Quantity is not automatically quality. You can assemble a thousand "pro tips" but how many...

Thessalonians Verses 19,20, 21: "Quench not the spirit; despise not prophesying; prove all things; hold fast that which is good." Corinthians 3:22: "Whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things preset, or things to come; all are yours." Verse 7: "But the...

Let me answer that with another question. Why do you care? So it's an ego thing for you then. But why do you need to alter someone's world view in order to consider yourself victorious? Why are you chasing after this? You can't make everybody like your act. It's impossible. Why are you...

You are full of crap beyond your years, kid. It seems to me you can't tell the difference between a specialist and someone just being a prick. Mostly because you're in such a hurry to paint yourself as some kind of saint. The fact that you use the word "segregation" implying some kind of...

As far as I'm concerned, if the user has to actually dick with url themselves to get to the page they want, then the web designer dropped the ball. To tell the truth, it's not worth the headache. I'm not going to be sticking around to see if they fix this. I'm just going to write the damn...

I actually popped in to look up a few old threads for reference on a blog post and I find this. The new color scheme is definitely not very easy on the eyes. The page navigation is a pain in the ass. The overall layout looks like the web designer just showing off. But none of that bugs me...
