29 Nov 03 - 06:56 PM (#1062985) Subject: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Mickey191 You believe yourself to be the lone survivor of a ship wreck. You are on a desert island, when suddenly you see someone on a raft drifting toward you. You realize it is the one person (in public or private life) that you truly loathe. Who is it? It's a toss-up for me--the Bush or the River. George Bush or Joan Rivers. What say you? |

It isn't a wise way to use one's vital energy...but...here's what I'm envisioning: I'm alone on the desert island, and I see this guy with a beard, clinging to a guitar desperately. He's floating in on the breakers. As I go to help him to his feet, I suddenly realize... It's CLINTON HAMMOND!!! GAHHHHHHHHHHH! - LH |

29 Nov 03 - 08:06 PM (#1063008) Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Ebbie hhahahah, Little Hawk- woeful thought. If I were on that situation, I guess I'd have to quickly come to the realization that I need to accept the basic humanity of the person. It would make a big difference to me as to why I couldn't stand him (or her). Whether it was because s/he was a know-it-all, or because s/he just didn't like me and wasn't backward about showing it, or because s/he was a known thief/cheater/murderer, my response to the person would vary widely, not to say, wildly. OK- another refinement on the predicament: suppose the person was suspected by you of having killed your best friend? |

29 Nov 03 - 08:11 PM (#1063012) Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Little Hawk I did it for laughs, Mickey. I actually kind of like Clinton. He's an awful cynic, but I like him anyway. Here's the straight truth: there is absolutely no point in hating anyone, it does you serious harm and it may do them harm too. If you were to end up on an island with someone you disliked, hated, etc...it would be a tremendous opportunity to do a whole lot of maturing fast and get over it...and learn to appreciate what's valuable about them. This would, of course, depend partly on their attitude. If they tried to kill you in spite of your good intentions, then I would recommend a good self-defence technique sufficient to frustrate their purpose and make them reconsider the wisdom of having such a bad attitude. Now that I've gone and totally screwed the premise of this thread, I think I'll have a nice relaxing cup of tea... :-) - LH |

I seriously dislike the two I mentioned, but it's not an all consuming passion with me. As to your second paragraph-there's no Karate School on this island. The peacemaking must be done with words alone. That's the best way in any event. Ebbie, Funny I was going to bring a gun into the story-but thought that was toooo dark. |

29 Nov 03 - 10:50 PM (#1063071) Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Helen The last person I would want to be stuck on a desert(ed) island with is the bullying bastard who bare-facedly manipulated, lied, scammed and cheated me out of my previous job, and got away with it. And if he was the one heading into shore on a little raft I would be plotting ways to tie him up and keep him out of mischief, because I spent nearly two years trying to break through to any sense of decency and humanity that he might have, believing that there is some good in everyone, but I reluctantly came to the conclusion that he is one of the exceptions to an otherwise excellent rule. Some people deliberately set out to hurt other people, in the worst possible way, and no amount of reasoning with them or appealing to their inner core of humanity seems to get through to them. Sociopathic, disconnected from the rest of the human race, totally devoid of empathy! Tie him up on a nest of scorpions and see him weasel his way out of that one! Sorry to get so serious, but that's my fair dinkum answer. Helen |

30 Nov 03 - 12:01 PM (#1063219) Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Little Hawk Thanks, Clinton. I think it's my round...but it can wait. :-) Now let's see...I think I'd relish the opportunity to be stranded on an island with George Bush (for a limited time, that is...say a few weeks). I don't think he'd make such bad company, and I'd get a chance to gradually introduce him to all kinds of new ideas he's probably never considered in his life. Could be fun. I think he might just fire Karl Rove when we got back to civilization, providing I handled it right. I would really not want to be stranded on an island with Maggie Thatcher, though. There are some nuts that are just too hard to crack. Likewise, I would not have wanted to be stranded on an island with my paternal grandmother. She was a lot like Willie-O's mom and Maggie Thatcher put together! Funny post there, Willie-O, I enjoyed it. - LH |

30 Nov 03 - 04:32 PM (#1063312) Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Mickey191 Gee Clinton, I thought there was a music thread at Mudcat. Must have been a dream. We didn't have to know the historical villains to loathe them. Never met Hitler or Stalin or Himmler or Cromwell. Have not met Paisley or George Lincoln Rockwell either. But I know their motives, murderous ways, and their bigotry. Since,presumedly, you've never met them, when will you make your judgement on their character? |

30 Nov 03 - 07:40 PM (#1063375) Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: GUEST,Grab I'm not sure of the point of this question. The "desert island" concept of the first two sentences seems irrelevant - the only relevant bit is the question "who do you loathe?" Putting the "desert island" context back in, with a bit of luck (and a large rock) they'll be providing you with food for a few weeks. So someone who's well-fed and has slower reflexes, and who you wouldn't mind belting over the bonce with a boulder... Graham. |

30 Nov 03 - 11:45 PM (#1063450) Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Mickey191 Guest Graham, The island is not an irrelevancy - my point was - on the island there is no place to run.

01 Dec 03 - 08:47 AM (#1063623) Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Grab Still irrelevant, Mickey. So you can't get away from them - so what? Does that mean then that you should nominate someone you loathe but could put up with for a while, or someone you want to try and talk round to your way of thinking, or someone you want to take out of circulation for a while to benefit the rest of the world, or someone you just want to drown on the beach? In other words, the "island" part of the question is not relevant because it doesn't narrow down the possibilities at all. You could just as well say, "You're in a hotel lobby, and you see someone you loathe next to you. Who is it?" The situation has no bearing on the answer. Now if you said, "You're on a chat-show with someone you loathe and you have the chance to expose them for the fraud they are", now *that* would narrow it down to something worth considering. Or, "You can nominate someone you loathe to be stranded on a desert island for the rest of their life." Graham. PS. "belt" = hit, "bonce" = head, "boulder" = large rock. |
