Take Three?

ROTFLMAO!!!.

Bob, I am not threatening anyone. I was quite clear in my post above...

"You are inferring that my offer to continue this discussion in person means that I wish to have an altercation. That is not the case.

I simply want to see if you are as willing to throw insults around when someone is looking you in the eyes as you are here online behind the veil of anonymity."

I truly believe that people like to call others names, belittle them and throw insults on-line but would not do so when looking the other person in the eye. Not because there is a threat of violence but because they know its not the proper way to act and its much harder to do so in the presence of a person. Those participating in online discussion often substitute lack of intelligence with childish name calling instead of participating in the conversation rationally and intelligently.

"The way this system works is if you're 4th in line, a driver is going to your destination and the first two people get in the car, the 3rd person in line (now first) still has the right to get in that car ahead you, even though you asked the question about a 3rd rider. The key to the slug system is waiting your turn. It may not seem fair, but it has worked for 30 years."

I agree thats how it currently works.. but lets be honest with ourselves, that is flawed.

That third person (now first) has EVERY RIGHT to get into the car. But if they are UNWILLING or UNMOTIVATED to ask the driver (as they SO OFTEN ARE!!!), or if the driver does not offer it to them the 4th (now second) slug should not have to watch as the car rolls away with only 2 riders in it. That person nor everyone behind them should NOT have to suffer because number 3 was unwilling to simply and politely ask the driver. I've seen it happen so many times where people don't have the confidence or the motivation to ask and everyone else suffers.

Be not asking for a 3rd rider that first person is being inconsiderate to the rest of the people behind them by prolonging their commute.

I am on topic -- YOU just don't realize it.

You are a troll in LIFE and also in the CYBER world.

Conflict stimulates you.

You dont even participate in the slugging system any longer, yet you troll the website late at night and all thru the day stirring up drama.

Ave, do you think you could post on topic?

If you live your life accepting everything that "is" as right I do not envy you one bit. Start examining why things are they way they are and if indeed they should be that way and you'll live a more fulfilling existance.

And for the 4th? 5th? Time, I still challenge anyone to tell me how its fair to those behind the next in line when they are unwilling to ask for 3? Because of one persons personal choice not to ask to take 3, all remaining sluggers suffer.
