An honest Fuck or a Lying Fuck? To be or not to be..

[SeeNoHearNoSpeakNo]

Ok, so the title is a Little harsh for what i'm on about but..

During some self reflection a thought came to mind:
Do you think(taking into account the current perceived mainstream social attitudes) that it is socially advantageous to be an honest,forthright individual with sincere convictions and a good communication skills OR:
A flipantly dishonest,on the fence sitting individual with blurry convictions and GOOD communication skills??

Whats your thoughts?

Good communication skills are only important if you intend to communicate.

Your (the OP's) premise is that it's one or the other.
I reject that premise.

Flipant,Fence sitting and blurry.... Got ya. I figured thatd be about average. Good choice.

I think it's possible to have sincere convictions AND good communication skills. I also think it's ok to be on the fence about some things ; open to science or other reasoned opinion over your gut preference for example. One of the things I have gained with age is the idea that strong convictions are not necessarily more Right. having strong convictions and being honest and steDfast to them doesn't make us good; those convictions can be things most people would not see as wholesome.

There is a time to speak out and a time not to. I struggle knowing the difference.

Yes i think flexability can indeed be adventageous. Open minded- Certainly
I guess someones moralistic basis for their convictions can be endearing or repugnant depending on those involveds own moral beliefs and standards.
I also find the line between stimulating conversation and arguement can be blurry depending on company and topic.
The Line "lets agree to disagree" being the polite drawing of the line for me sometimes..

Good communication skills are only important if you intend to communicate.

That they are, but i may be a textbook case for: 'But not essential' as i can be slightly poor with anunciation,spelling and punctuation.

I find if there is a hint of BS in the words used on me, i become a complete sceptic.
Its also hard to except blatant 'social niceties'(dressed up BS) and instead sometimes think 'blah blah, Whatever'.
Iam a renound antisocial hermit though.
Thanks for the interesting thought fuel.

And the GB is the best environment to learn and then practice such skills.

AJ has taught his little poo-smudge padawan that everything can be reduced to Black or White, that shades of grey are for teh mentally weak.

Such clarity in thinking!

Flipant

That word doesn't mean what you think it does because I definitely wasn't flippant.

Fence sitting

Nope, I said that with great conviction and there's nothing you can say to convince me that I shouldn't reject your premise, just as all thinking people should.

and and blurry.... Got ya.

You've contradicted yourself. If it were blurry you wouldn't be able to say "got ya', even though you obviously don't.

In fact, I was "honest" and "forthright" in my reply because my "sincere convictions" are that you have a very narrow view of this topic.

 

[SeeNoHearNoSpeakNo]

Honest, forth right with sincere conviction,good communication skills.... Got ya.

Flexibility is a good thing, i like your style.

There is one premise that's safe to assume. When the left come to the table to "discuss" ideas they bring enough intellectual dishonesty to foul the whole process.
