986, you and I are from very different cultures and we can learn a lot from one another. First off, (my bias) there should be no reason to have to forgive anyone for telling you about a culture outside your perceptions of your norm. And (from my cultural bias) never forgiving shows a character weakness that deserves nothing less than pity, but I don't think you say those words with the same meaning that I would say them. Forgiving and moving on increases strength of character in the one doing the forgiving. Texas is Texas, we Texans are mainly friendly and polite to everyone. I'm exactly the kind of person you want to see coming if you have a flat tire, if you waive me over you have a ride or I'd change your tire if you couldn't. I'm also a soft touch, when someone is clearly hungry I'll feed them if I can. I gave an elderly gentleman $20 last week because he looked, and said he was hungry, and that was the only cash I had in my wallet. And still I shoot the "children" (well, not personally), a riddle here to be sure. The chances of me harming anyone, or not helping them when they need it is practically nil. On hate, again a cultural bias is working here. To me, that's a big deal. I believe no one should hate anyone, and as it leads down a very dark road. I was taught to love, not hate. Love means everyone including the jerk who just cut me off in traffic, (and the "children").

So my bias is don't hate, even a little. 986 I don't have anything to forgive you for as I take no offense to you expressing a cultural bias (flipping cars is funny) even though (and you and other may chuckle here) I think it exemplifies an entitlement attitude that is damaging to society. That's ok, I may not agree with it, but I defend your right to say it. And even though I find that attitude wrong in the extreme, there's no reason to not forgive or hate because of it. I prefer to learn through our differences. If you ever come to Houston look me up and we'll go to the gun range, you tend to meet really nice folks there. Nothing like living in a culture to understand it.

And your headlights look awesome, DOT sticker or not.

Of course I don't "hate" you, James. Keep sharing the great work you do.
