I meant more so than that
I might feel the same way but first I need to know if Grammy Dmac77 encouraged Mama Dmac77 to drive like that.

I think that's enough, me included (after this).
I wonder if he is off, working on a cloaking device.

He's probably driving like a maniac.
Let's put it this way: He said that he sees no reason to care about someone just because they're a human being as well --- not unless they're family who care about him, or someone he benefits from --- and yet he posted this thread and asks for our thoughts and prayers?
He's probably just a typical kid who doesn't fully understand how he feels on certain subjects, and just blurts things out.

How do we know it's even real (this cancer situation)? That's my main thing...Wow, quite the turn this thread has taken. How about we cut the OP some slack? I agree that what he posted in the other thread was selfish and arrogant, but life has a funny way of giving us experiences that put us in a position to make positive changes. Hopefully, the grace and kindness he/she has been shown by those who expressed genuine concern about his own family circumstances will make him/her ponder the attitude expressed in the other thread.
Accountability is important, but simply taking shots at him/her doesn't help the situation.
Dmac77, I may be naive, but I like to focus on the positive side of things. I'm glad to hear your grandmother has gotten good news and hope that the other medical issues your family is dealing with will continue to improve. As far as your attitude towards helping others, I hope that improves as well. We only have a limited amount of time on this planet and I promise you that it's better spent serving and supporting others as opposed to being selfish.
The OP lost all credibility with that thread, and ones such as this make me skeptical that any post under his handle is legit.
How did I know, when I clicked on this thread, that your post would be looking at the positive side of life
Have I become that obvious? Hmm... maybe I should be more mysterious so you all won't know what to expect.
I hear what you guys are saying, but I think that's just more of a reason for us to be genuinely kind. I say never pass up an opportunity to lead by example in your actions with others. Plus, kindness never hurt anyone.
True, but that doesn't mean we should ignore or overlook things like this either. If no one ever points out what we do wrong, how do we correct them and grow as a person?
I completely agree ucfgrad93. However, I don't think those taking shots at the OP were doing so with the intention of helping him "grow as a person". Accountability and correction are very important, but there is a positive and negative way to go about it if you know what I mean.
No, we are on the same page. As a teacher, I see way too many cases of parents shielding their children from the consequences of their actions which never helps the children grow.
Yes, but what I basically meant was that since he obviously doesn't know what he feels/believes, as what he said in his original post was so clearly hypocritical, we shouldn't bother to take him seriously. That means not making him accountable for everything he said, because this would mean that I actually take him seriously now. I don't. He's just here to wag his tail, and I'm just here to pat his head.
I believe him when he says that his grandparents are/were sick. Nothing in the other thread makes me believe that he's lying. Lying and being confused are different.
