you should listen to yourself... it's amusing...

Glad I entertain you, moron.

according to you... (in the sceme of things) one comment from my dad...
who was trying to talk me into just settling for his older truck instead of buying something brand new yet and at worst exadgerated a detail about it to get me to save some money...

(THAT comment tells you and every other psychologist on here how my home life was growing up...)

I've got a pretty solid insight into most all things psychological as I have had a (very good) shrink for a dad for 34+ years now.
If your dad would lie to you about something so inane in an attempt to get you to save money rather than explaining it to you exactly in the manner you explained it to me that, good sir, does speak volumes about the way in which your family interacts with one another.

Whether you care to understand that or not. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Cot, this is not even a close call. You think that your own father lied to you and is continuing to lie to you. That is just bizzare. I can tell you that my father would have given me his advice and let me decide whether to follow it. But his advice would have been based on the truth. His credibility is worth more than whatever I would have benefited from following his advice. As a result, I willingly seek out his advice.

no, he said it was taken out and can't find it, so i believe he exadgerated about it... i know for a fact that there was an aftermarket chip/ecu in it though, and it caused sensors in the truck to go bad more than they normaly would... and your dad is not my dad (be thankful for that) my dad is an extremely shrewd business man and very money hungry and has an attitude where it doesn't matter how much it costs, he WILL have the best

oh does it? because i can think of a bunch of senarios in which it could mean different things...

mainly because i have met the man (being that he's my dad and thus, I know more about him than the son of a man who makes his living by pretending that he knows more about people than they do, and making them feel like they need him so that they pay him money)

no, i'm sorry... actually i'm not...

see it could mean that my dad just likes to exadgerate...

it could mean he is a patheological liar (spelling pending)...

it could mean that the very limited ability that you have to judge my personality from a few words that i type is flawed...

it could be that my dad was not lying and the chip does ,in fact, exist...

it could be that my dad was lied to about the chip himself...

failure to take into account all possibillities because of a narrow-minded (or predisposed) opinion is a big reason that so many wrong decisions are made these days... the more you think you know the more ignorant you become or at least, appear...

in this situation it appears your falsely predisposed opinion is derived from seeing posts that i have made at a time where my "knowledge" was not as extensive... not my intelligence, but my "knowledge"...

a smart person understands that knowledge is a process... you aren't born with it and even when you gain it, it takes time to take effect...

of course all of it requires wisdom to understand, and thats something some of you will never choose to have, and usually comes with age, and i feel sorry about that for some, but i, for one, "am to old to know everything"

Well Cot, you are perceptive on this point. My father is nothing like that. He cares absolutely nothing about having "the best" material items. Nor does he care to run over someone to get the best of them in a business deal. Strange guy my father. Last night he asked me to come over and help him fix up a couple of bicycles that a neighbor had left behind when he moved. I told him where he could sell the bikes. He told me that planned on putting them out on the street for anyone who wanted them to pick up. He just did not want them to be disappointed by finding out they were not in good repair. I wonder who sleeps better at night?

Cot in fairness I thought you already explained that your father lied to get you to go with the more reasonable truck.

And I do real good with English.

Prowler, where did that come from? I could have sworn it was some Windows95 era game... It sounded so familiar.

but he also does everything for a reason... my dad grew up a poor kid in south carolina... he never got anything handed to him he had to fight to make a living... circumstances change everyone in different ways, i'm personaly glad my dad is not like yours. but i've seen my dad take homeless people off of the street buy them diner and a hotel room for a week... at the same time i've seen him rip rich greedy people a new asswholes in business deals... who's to judge? i won't because i know that it doesn't matter how good of an instance you present of your dad's good will... he has lied, he has cheated, or wronged another, there is simply no one that has not...

no, in fairness, i said that my dad was indeed trying to get me to go with the reasonable truck.... AND worst case senario he exadgerated to sweeten the deal... not that he DID do it, just that it's a possibility... as i said before... there was definitly a chip in it... so (worst case) he just exadgerated about it's power

Interesting. Why?

 

[cotjones 10+ year member]

Interesting. Why?

because i believe my dad being the way he is has conditioned me to be the way i am... to never trust anyone but always let them think that you do...

besides that, my dad doesn't present himself as a sniveling weasel, infact he's not at all, but he is as i said, a shrewd business man... and probably the most hillarious person i've ever met...

and certain people will benefit from your benevolence while others will take advantage of it and make situations worse...

if your dad didn't leave a note or something on the bikes he very well could've opened someone up to have the tendacy to steal... there are sides and angles to every story, few things are completely certain, the only thing i know for sure is that i can never be sure about anything

Oh, I thought you might have had a well thought out reason. Instead you are apparently relying on assumptions that generous people who put others ahead of themselves are somehow weak, gullible, or stupid. I am sorry you have not a role model to teach you that is not the case at all.

Try to keep in mind that any piece of trash can be greedy. That is not hard at all.
