People who are insecure I saved this one for last because not only would I say that I have probably been hurt emotionally by insecure people more than any other of those I’ve listed, but I have also had a lot of insecurity issues before. I lived very deeply in insecurity for much of my [...]

People who are hurt The saying is very true that hurt people hurt people. In the circles I’m in, I see this most in people who have been hurt by the church. As a result the leave church, think poorly of all churches, and are unwilling many times to return to a church or even [...]

Selfish People Whereas in the last post we discussed that prideful people think little of others, selfish people tend to just not think about others at all. Selfishness is different than pride. Where pride is more of a condition that shows itself in a person’s regular behavior, selfishness tends to be more of a bad [...]

“Well you’re just racist” Ever since the November, 2008 election this phrase has become cliché in political arguments. And unfortunately, most of the times I have heard it used, the arguers seems to have a very limited understanding of racism. Calling someone a racist is an easy out. You automatically win when you say this [...]

“You’re just in it for the money” I find this argument to be based on peculiar reasoning. I say that because the above line is only said (or only an insult) to those in certain industries. This line is almost always said by someone making less many than the person they spew it at, meaning [...]

First of all, I’m not so sure we should always be looking to “win” an argument so much as we should seek to come to understanding or compromise. That being said though, there are some arguments or accusations that not only can you not win, you can hardly defend yourself without looking bad. The next [...]

Writing a blog post about Lebron James got me a lot of hits and comments earlier so I might as well ride that train again. Last night on ESPN “The King” broke the hearts of everyone in my home state of Ohio when he announced that he would be moving to Miami to play with [...]
