Quitting TB due to moderators

Sign in to disble this ad
I guess moderators have never heard of iPhones, you can pretty much do anything text/chat/email/browse while:
- crossing the street
- in the bus
- eating a burrito
- on a hospital bed
- waiting for lawyers
- eating, watching tv, talking on the phone at the same time

I sure used to be a no-proof don't-believe type of person but living life I changed.

How many things like these don't show up on the news...hundreds...man rescue toddler from falling tree, while the usual news in this city is flooded by crimes only. Unless you leave somewhere where the population is 100.

When was the last time you did something heroic? When was the last time you were knocking on heavens doors?

Which was your moment of clarity?

Don't you volunteer, don't you give to goodwill, don't you help others. And I am not talking about "this how you fix this bass". I am talking truly helping out of the sake of helping.

Oh well, it was a nice ride here at TB I wish you all a good, creative and healthy musical development.

Crow you're an amazing guy. You have time to post and feel deeply about TB while you're saving people's lives on a monthly basis (and being sued for it), making the most dramatic and fast recovery from being crushed by a tree ever (and having titanium plates implanted) - you're the king of the interwebz. You go, crow.

My GF coined a phrase a while back that made lots of sense to me regarding what many people do who speak of love, acceptence, helping, caring, and all things beautiful. I even wrote a song about it. Many of those people she said, "preach love and practice hate". Seems what the OP is doing here. If I understand what he's saying. Which I'm not 100% sure I do.

Nobody believes your frequent saving-a-life stories, which you fail to explain beyond a first post, therefore cell phones do not exist?
