Forum Psycological and physiological implications
There might be WAY MORE+++ use for this forum than meets the proverbial eye. It looks to uncover in some, a talent not well exercisized in our normal
daily affairs. It may unearth an artist or an expert on geology. Out comes a philantropist and a homeopathic healer. It is truly a cross-section of
knowledge and experience. Noting the average age of 52 (my age) times the number of Nomads equals a huge resource . A resource that exceeds.
The poet, skindiver, off-roader or community volunteer, it seems not to matter. The emphasis is on "DO" it in Baja and to bring it out or keep it
alive in this Nomad Forum.
WE all glean something from others here. To say not would be pompous. WE all(with the exception of a few)have something of benefit to our brethren.
I may not always agree, but some posts have changed my opinions and the way I look at some things now. The feedback here is certainly "in your face"
reporting and it bothers some. I wish that some were not so fixed in their views, but that also is what keeps us thinking. ALL THOSE TOPICS> HOLY
COW, we should be informed. Better than FOX news!
I like it. Being informed.

Sharks
Good Words!
Sharks the thing that insterest me is the People and where they are coming from and Why.
Why does ND, BB, JR post and respond in the manner in which they Do???
I also search for the Reasoning behind what that Person may be writing.
There are many on this Board who do not want to have their background known, it casues difficulty in "Figuring out where they are coming from!!
That may be the reson so many Post with others Quotes.
I try to learn something each day of my Life, and you can sure learn some things that are hard to beleive!!

Hey Skeet
I post the way I do because I have hopes that the patriotically blinded arrogant P-nche gringos that seem to be taking over Baja these days might show
a little respect for the humans who live here.
If you don't understand that, well, you had better go to confession! Or take drugs, or something to open your eyes.
This isn't the Baja that you knew my friend and it is becoming quite serious. After all, why did you leave?

Jr
JR I am sure you read the Post on why I left.
Yes it is not the Baja I knew and it will never be the Baja you Want!!!!
JR I seem to read in your eyes the ability to know when you are "Shoveling S t aganist the Wind!!
Change your direction and energy and keep helping the People who you and I both Love. Use your engery for those in need as the Mountain Folk are and
remember the iso;lated spots that you and I both know where to go and Hide when it gets so bad we cannot stand another Ugly americano!!!
There has been a real lack of teaching the fundmentals to the Youngins , all you have to do is read the Slop spewed forth in the Senate.
Somtimes there are people who go to Baja for the love of the country and its People, others to SMOKE DOPE, go Nude, and take from the people. How Sad!

Praise the Lord
I am also a firm believer that the patriotically blinded seem to think that if there's a problem, ignore it! I say screw that and throw it out in the
open to discuss. Obviously the coup groupers don't want to hear anything negative about themselves but screw that too!
Most aren't intelligent enough to have a discussion or debate to try and come up with solutions but I recieve enough support from the humans that I
feel I have done some good to help open eyes. Give it a try sometime when you aren't in church.

And speaking of ignoring
That seems to be exactly what your wonderful Dr. Hibbif did when we were helping Aaron.
Who is now doing incredibly well. But as far as taking donations to him, mine go to the people in the mountains who really need them and I know
they get them rather than being sold!

["I know they get them rather than being sold!"]
JR are you saying Dr. Hibbif is selling the donations or are you just making a general statement.

What a Load of Caca
Talk about pompous asses, there are obviously a whole bunch of people here who take their mission in life and this forum WAY too seriously. This is
all for play. Nothing anybody says on this forum is going to change anything in a meaningful way. If you're that serious about life, Baja or
otherwise, go do SOMETHING. Volunteer in support of your favorite cause. If your written profundity had any value, you'd be making a living at it.
I'm going to open another cerveza and drive down for a dip in the ocean in support of my favorite cause (me).

There you go again Bill
you being semi new apparently aren't aware that a little boy was helped, a number of needed donations were sent to the mountains, and cases of
repellants were sent down south when they were out and dengue was attacking. All because of caring humans on this forum.
It certainly didn't make you any money so I understand where you are coming from!
Why don't you go clean one of your weapons or something to be prepared for the boogie men you are so worried about.

I was generalizing because that was brought up by some a long time ago.
But, I don't take donations to gringo places or big cities where they already have access to getting things.

did you ever consider not reading if it bothers you? Or maybe posting something of interest yourself if you are capable!

They are PERFECTLY ON-TOPIC
So you're saying that we're not on topic. Baja and it's orphanages and people who actually give a sh*t or more, that are Americans or residents is not
relevant?
So our voice during the learning process about Baja and with these Nomads is irrelevant.
Every post on this thread pertains. Show me where it doesn't. Whether or not u like the skirmish, is what is irrelevent.

Why the hell cant someone just post his or her writings here and that is that? I posted ?Flaming and trolling. A promise to stop.? last week and what
happens? It?s turns into a damn debate about the Broncos and the Raiders football teams! So much for me trying to be a sport here!
Sharksbaja post here is (from what I gathered) is all positive promotion of the BajaNomads forums. Not that I agree with all his stuff
(postings)...but this one made alot of sense. This wasn?t some knucklehead post. Let's not over run this post with non sense (like football talk)!
We need another topic listing: DEBATE! Take the fights to the arena.
What control freaks there are here. Don\'t believe that post you just read!

Jr, you crack me up. Your the only person I know who's trys to change the way people think by hitting them in the head with a brick, calling them
ignorant and then tooting your own horn. Actually, I don't know you, and you don't know me, and you probably don't know most of the people on the
forum. Personally I mean. Yet you make judgements about those people. What I do in life, and whether or how I help people is no ones business but
mine. I could be Mother Terresa or I could be Hitler. My point is Jr, that you post. You must do it for a reason. You either want to convince people
that your an arrogant ass or your really trying to change the way people think. I mean sometimes you get so busy attacking people that I don't know
what your point is. I guess Im just one of those ignorant people..
By the way sharksy, I thought you made a great post. Don't take that too much to heart, because Im just an ignorant sucker.
Its no fun having a battle of wits with unarmed people
