Each one of us should determine what is "acceptable" language.Who precisely gets to determine acceptable speech (i.e., verbal decorum) though? On this privately held forum (people keep talking about the internet; I'm speaking to speech in person, primarily)....the site owner has every right to determine the acceptable content....out in the world in a public space (not privately owned public spaces) is a different story.
That made me laugh, thanks!Here is a participation trophyjk for owning a non-Rubicon Wrangler, now stop wining and go 4Wheeling.
noiceThe depth of my heresy knows no bounds.
Speech is what we say, language is how we say it.Explain the difference, as you understand it, then.
spiffy. That an Aria?noice
this is as close as I get
Man, I gave my opinion and now you want to give me a test. What might give you the tiniest of a hint that I might give one flying flip what you are looking for in a test of me or anyone else? My last test that I took added the word Doctor to my degree. Tester, how many of those do you have??And who, in the specific instances of person to person speech, gets to make the determination as to what is deemed courteous and respectful?
Let me give you a brief test:
These questions pertain to child-rearing: whether it is more important for you to have a child who is respectful or independent; obedient or self-reliant; well-behaved or considerate; and well-mannered or curious.
I have on occasion witnessed my share of condescending know-it-alls get punched in the mouth. I donāt condone that behavior, but I would venture to guess that the gentleman from AZ has been punched in the mouth on more than one occasion. Carry on.I believe that people are far to comfortable talking shit because they have never been punched in the face. Some things deserve a punch to the face even though it rarely happens.
Sport, you have not provided any content that would validate you have the resources to ask anything but simple questions. Lastly, if you think the wink is cute keep practicing it in the mirror and entertain yourself. It does not entertain me Sir! Like most of your post (at least on this subject), your passive aggression exhibits weakness on your part and a lack of respect for others. Sean, I did not in any way call you out personally. Where are you wanting to take this?And one more question: Is it fair to say that you felt my simple questions were neither courteous nor respectful?
Well said Mike- I too am over the 70 mark and I now own my second Jeep; a JLURD too. I run conservative set up with stock wheels and 35ās. Awaiting a 2ā mopar lift that may never come!! My wife and I run the eastern Oregon desert 6-7 times a year and I have been to Death Valley 5 times with my old Land Rover Defender which I sold 2 years ago. I hope to contin wheeling and overlanding till Iām 80!! Happy trails sir-A Jeep is a Jeep. Period. End of story. The JLURD I have is the 8th jeep I have owned since 1973. I honestly don't care what kids of Jeep you have or how you use it. Your Jeep, your choice. I personally don't care about snobbery because it doesn't effect me. I just passed the 70 year old mark and have seen this kind of nonsense before and in the end, don't matter. I say enjoy what you have. Other people's opinions are not going to change a single thing in your life, unless you allow it. My Jeep has been off road twice since I bought it. Not because that was my desire, but the covid19 first shut down the desert and then got to hot for me. But I am planning on wheeling really soon. Bottom line, you bought your Jeep, enjoy it in any way you want (not destroying yourself or others), mall crawling or rock crawling. Enjoy what you're hard earned cash provided.
