    How ironic then that your posts have some of the better grammar out of the prolific posters.

    Some of the richest people got that way through immoral means.

    Does that mean immorality is an ingredient to wealth?
    Or can the two be mutually exclusive?

    I seem to have little control over my wealth, or lack thereof. My education on the other hand is in my control.

    If you have control of your thoughts, then you have control over EVERY aspect of your life.

    And a lot of them didn't. They understand the saying in the pic in my last post.

    Kind of my point. Lack of formal education was a barrier, much as morality is. Doesn't prevent success just means you have to work harder to achieve it.

    A fellow of great magniloquence sat at my kitchen table once and had my wife and another friend scratching their heads and they were not at all keeping up with the point of his diatribe. When asked to use words they could understand, he questioned their intelligence. His blood stains are still evident some years later on my verandah and with a broken jaw and his eye hanging off the side of his head, much like a novelty eye on a spring, I dare say he couldn't talk for some time.
    He has probably not acted like the arrogant, supercilious cunt that he was, ever again, I would opine.

    He may never stray from his circle again ... well, until it's time to press the flesh with his voters.

    An hour invested in automating something or learning a better way to accomplish an old task is rarely wasted.

    Doesn't change the fact that better communicators are normally more sought after than otherwise equal candidates / peers.

    On the flip side my adherence to grammar, documentation and rules has also seen me excluded from projects because less skilled but better educated souls could not relate. Which goes back to what I was saying about people tend to prefer to deal with people on the same level.

    The trouble in a text based medium is the only indicators you have of the worthiness of a post are:
    Your past experience with the poster, their supporters and their critics.
    The grammar of all of the above no doubt plays a part.

    I don't take my grammar seriously when posting humour. I do when posting advice, information or opinions.


    Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.
    okay, so you totally change your point from needling a bike mechanic to a solicitor/ lawyer??
    you sound like a crazy cat lady.

    I think the reason you get excluded from projects might be a wee bit different than you think they are?


    Thats just my uneducated opinion, so you can wipe your arse with it if you so wish haha

    I might have to.
    I changed my analogy to attempt to convey my point due to to your inability to imagine you needed a mechanic.

    I thought your point was about trying to choose a good mechanic by trying to gauge their IQ by some crazy arse criteria?
