Before I finish you with my trash talk again, I must share with you some of my experience regarding Seattle and Chinese food.
We have our own Chinatown in Seattle. You can get anything there, authentic first world Thai, Szechuan, Mandarin, Vietnamese, whatever you want. Our Chinatown is located right next to both our Stadiums, Lumen (Seahawk) and Safeco (Mariners) fields. So, if you're heading in for a night game, go early and just chow down man. It's a great way to spend a day, then you get to go see the Seahawks lose!
My recollection of FL and it was about 15 year ago.. I was bidding on a project near Orlando. Have you heard of Juniper Springs? It's on the Ocala NF and we almost got the operation it would have been sweet.
But when I was there, I stayed in Orlando and what I remember is how cheap the lobster was! This was like.. early 2000's? You could to to a buffet, pay like $25? and just stuff yourself with lobster!
Ok.. so back to trolling.. I almost called you "convict" today.. but I can't do that.. it's too mean.. even for me and this place.
Cheers, beeeyacch!

While I'm coming in late to this discussion, might I offer this? The reason you have difficulty is you base your positions on emotions and feelings rather than mixing in at least some degree of rationality and logic.
Me? I can, and do, curse like a sailor (maybe because I was one) but I try to base my arguments and rebuttals on logic and rationality. It's not that I lack feelings, but I know those won't solve the problem when the ship is burning to the waterline, about to capsize, and sink with me having 1000 miles to swim home. Panic and emotions don't solve that problem, they only get you killed faster.
So, I suppress my emotions in favor of finding a solution that works. It seems you don't want to do likewise. That, in turn, stirs up many here with differing opinions who either mix the two or, like you, are going on emotions and feelings.
My suggestion would be for you to expand your mindset and take in more rational and logical viewpoints of the world.

I agree with you.
I have rage issues. I am in therapy. I'm too old now.. I don't see me being to be able to get a handle on that aspect of myself.
What I do like about myself is that I really do care about people. I care about YOU! I care about Hawkeye10, the character I've known for 10 years.
So.. what am I saying? I get angry. When I do that, I sometimes push people away emotionally. I'm not violent. I have never hurt anyone, nor will I ever.
But, getting back to this example of Uvalde. I see people here, unmoved by that horror, not wanting just to score debate points, but seeming to enjoy our anguish.
I'm going to lose my temper again. It might be tomorrow, it might not be for awhile. It's who I am now. That's why I'm here an no longer at DP. Just know that I feel that I am sensitive to other people's feelings.. as much as I can be. I try to understand them. But I can't deal with evil.
I think it's time to log off for a few hours.
Nice chatting
Me? I'm a retired Navy Chief. I have had other careers as middle-management since. I'm also a Buddhist. I rarely get mad about anything, no matter how stupid, retarded, insane, or childish someone is being. I solve problems--and I'm damn good at it. In the last 10 or so years of my naval career, I got sought out by officers for that ability. A week after I retired, a Captain at the Pentagon called me--at home!--asking if I'd accept orders to go to Iraq to supervise installation of cellphone jammers in USN / USMC vehicles because she was told "I was the guy." I told her I was retired now and that made it really difficult to cut me orders or I would have gone, just like I always did, to solve another problem.
So, when I say it's the person not the weapon that's a problem, it's an almost certainty I know what I'm talking about.
