That sounds a lot like rhetoric to me. Can you be more specific about what you believe I am ignorant about?

DUDE. I thought you were a pretty smart guy. This Catshit guy is nothing but a total butthole troll. Probably a sock account.

I like trolls. They are good fun.

He probably won't be around long.

 

[Catman51]

BTW, your dislike of me just makes my day as it means that you don't like to be challenged and just admitted it.

I love challenges. It would be nice if you could actually pose one. Defeating you has been pretty easy.

But your version of defeating someone is one inane comment after another by you, each unrelated to the last, until someone would rather drink bleach than read another post by you, and ao stops posting to you.

I wouldn't have expected you to see it any other way, FF. But the reality is the content of what I have written has not been refuted.

Feel free to take a stab at it. Or you could just throw rocks at me like you usually do.

Actually, everything you have written has been refuted, you are just refusing to acknowledge it, or to pig-headed.

Can you be more specific about what you believe has been refuted other than saying everything?

You know actually detail point by point what you believe had been refuted.

Point by point, all of your claims of supernatural intervention. Prove otherwise.

you're a joke bing, surly that would not pertain more for you, christianity than anyone here for mentioned.

But I do realize the spirit of God is within me.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

What ever you wish to believe is fine. It changes nothing.

Attitude changes everything. In fact, it is happiness which leads to success. Success does not lead to happiness.

Yes it does

I was a lot less happy when I was struggling to get by.

It's called the happiness advantage and it's well documented.

Not buying it.

If you're happy there is no impetus to change.

Contentment leads to laziness.

I don't care how happy you are you can still be poor as shit

Then you are going against science.

psychology isn't really science

Guess you won't be taking advantage of the happiness advantage then.

No such thing.

I didn't get out the the shit hole inner city I grew up in by being happy about being there

I got out because I hated the place and had no intention of living there and scraping to get by like everyone else.

I didn't get out because I was happy. I got out because I was stubborn and determined

And has absolutely nothing to do with what science has proven concerning the happiness advantage. Which is that performance is 33% improved when one is happy relative to negative, neutral or stressed.

You sure do argue against science a lot.

He is denying any personal responsibility for anything in his life. Good, bad decisions that he makes he pushes off onto some entity because he cannot stand on his own.

I was orphaned and in foster care at 14, an emancipated minor at 17 and by the time i was 30 I owned half a dozen rental properties now I'm 45 with more properties and don't have to work anymore if I don't want to in fact I live on about 40% of my income the rest I invest.

I didn't get where I am because I was "happy" with my situation. I got out because i refused to accept my situation.
