So I sent an email to your Erica about a GB mini head that I was thinking of swapping hafts on and I asked her what was up with you calling everyone 'brother.' She said every time she asked she got a different answer. So what gives brother?:D

i got rid of the long answer, if you can believe that.

i just like it.

it let's folks know i care.


Brother or Enemy.

that's the way i see men. Two Options Only.

i don't have any friends that sit on the fence. fence-sitters like to hide their Cowardice as Virtue most of the time anyways IMHO.

i got no use for Cowards around me. i wish them luck, and hope they are smart enough not to interfere in my life.


my brethren don't screw with me, i try not to screw with them - and when i do accidently, i try to make it double-right, ...and no brother of mine screws with another brother, or thereafter he is Enemy.

there ain't nothing that can't be fixed, so if a brother won't even say he is sorry, eff him. ditch him.


brothers fight. it's what brothers do.

it's Nature's way of weeding out the Weak.


Cowards take offense forever after a tuff - always looking to ditch you when things get too dicey, and go look for greener pastures. good riddance, i say.

that's not a true friend, that's a stray dog. Enemy.


it isn't a difficult thing to see.

- unless you are Enemy.

idiots.



give your brother everything you can, or give him nothing if he be Enemy.


it keeps my life very simple, and i adore simplicity.

very few grey areas.

it's a waste of my Life Energy, for lack of a better term.

Erica hates that about me, my Feed It! or Hawk It! Way - but i see that as her problem, not mine (sorry, Love - you are a woman, different Reality than mine).



anyone who objects to being called "Brother" (except for Superiors) just puts themselves automatically on the Enemy List.

i have no time to waste with the crazies or belligerent sorts that they always are.

it's a great filter.

you don't mind though do ya, brother? :cool:

..........

i was raised by a very successful clan.

- to a man, they all give respect automatically - i learned early on that the types that don't give respect until they get it are usually absolute failures, or not much better. the whole Third World operates like those guys - look where they are. look what it has gotten them. zilch.

- only Enemy doesn't see that that is the biggest clue in the world on how to live.

what little respect they show in the Third World is all false respect.

the Weapons and Combatives-Based Communities are replete with a lot of this type of Loser, which is fine, but they are not my brothers. not for long.


they make the Good Ones look even better anyways.

Mike Fuller of TOPS Knives comes to mind. A Saint!

many others here.


i can't stand to be around losers like those other guys. the military was full of them, which astounded me.

they wreck everything that is smart and beautiful in the world, and free to give.

[/rant]

all that crap said,

being a Brother is a simple thing to practice, conversation on that topic just needlessly complicates it IMHO.

if a brother doesn't know where he stands, then he probably needs to examine his life, i reckon.


i shouldn't end this boring post without this observation;

i don't want this to have been read as me finger-pointing at everyone else; i have a lot to work on personally.

but i have my fine Brethren to help me with that. :thumbup:

HTH.

Wow that was your short answer?:D You've described my attitude towards things pretty well. As far as the respect thing, my feeling is that respect can never be earned, only lost.

that's a good way to put it, and a good way to live, brother.

i try to be quick to forgive when such things occur, but slow to forget.

if you have a reputation of being unforgiving, anyone you don't destroy is going to become Enemy, needlessly IMHO.

a Long Memory is just a Survival Virtue.

It would be my honor to call you Brother, and be called Brother by you. Great post, Brother Vec!

many people don't stop to notice what is around them as the world is turning more and more into a gaint spit ballstop and notice your family, friends , brothers and sisters. enjoy some time it is your most valued thing because you don't know how much is left.

i dislike folks that play games with me but I like to play games with friends like cards or pools or whatever. life isn't a game you don't win or lose, you just survive or not. we are all just little ants on the anthill earth and sooner or later we are compost

Anyone heard of the F.I.D.O. system? if it ain't worth your time...

F#%$ It, Drive On. dont waste your time or others playing silly games

Ever been broke down or in some kind of mess and had someone just up and help you out of the blue? what a friend what a brother...and you say what do I owe you? don't insult them, sometimes the payment is just knowing you helped a brother out.

tell someone to help you and you don't get much, ask if someone may help you and you may get the world. I don't beg, but please and thank you and very powerful words some times .

Wonderful Post Brother Vec :thumbup:
