The rudeness I was referring to was being told to STFU and being called ignorant. When I spend weeks and weeks reading up and asking about this. And there is literally on 2 websites that I can find that say PG is "safe and FDA approved". That it is in ketchup but yet I am not vaping ketchup. Just read the following comments right after my first comment. I would not make nasty or laughable comments even if I disagree with someone on a matter.
Well, I'm not accountable for telling you to STFU, or that you're ignorant, although ... what I am about to present may seem I am saying that.
Less than one minute using the
Duck Duck Go search engine and I have a lot of pointers to various independent research. Granted this is not saying I have spent weeks upon weeks, heaps on heaps poring over each bit of data meticulously. As much as I may attempt being informed, rational minded, I too am only human and by no means a doctor, scientist, someone that takes grant money to put nose to research. That is not said to infer right or wrong if you do or do not accept money to read research. It is simply stating I don't, ergo can be versed "enough to suit myself" on something.
I can own up to my ignorance, if indeed I'm shown in error. I've no problem with doing that, do it a lot on here and in other forums regarding vaping or other subjects. I'm an honest agnostic you may find. I can gladly state "I don't know" as my most honest and objective answer to a question or problem needing a solution. There is much I will never know and fortunately, I don't care that I don't know it. I have seen what happens to the folks who take upon themselves the mantle of "know it all". *shaking my head* Nope, I'll go stand in the corner with all the allegedly useless "know nothings" any day.
The reasoning for my choice in that is in a lacking of arrogance, jealousy on my part. Yes, I have even have to pretend being jealous if another man is flirting with my wife, despite happily being happy if she wants to enjoy that fellas company. I don't
own my wife or
any other person. Sure I love her but it is as near an unconditional love as I can give. Again, I'm human and so stumble a bit here and there. What I stumble over though is not being arrogant or jealous.
I stumble over, "well if that's what they really want, wouldn't want them take something and not be sure for themselves" and issues like that. I'm an odd bird but I don't even care that I am an odd bird, beyond letting folks met anew know. They need to know so they don't think, "ha ha, I'll poke him with arguments based on X and watch him squirm", or worse still get lost when I'm the one pulling them from a fire when nobody else does and they ask "why?" "Love ya man, simple as that." It seems to embarrass folks that I quit arguments or debates, or worse do not engage in them if I may avoid them. so new folks met need to know that's how I am, so they don't embarrass themselves.
And no I'm not this funny Jesus guy nor do I pretend to be. If Jesus is the love he says then he's alright with me calling him funny.
Then again, some of the Christian religious texts I've read, ... leaves me wondering much. Some of the Shinto text and oral tradition does as well too, and the Islamic, Jewish, Hindi, Buddhist. Yep, I wonder about most if not all of them inclusive of spiritual Satanism. That's what I do, I wonder, peek in, ask, scribble notes in my brain. Got to know people to write, people seem hung up with this religion stuff, politics stuff. I only observe and state, lots of it seems odd to me. That isn't judging, only observing.
Again, "agnostic here". *said in best Al Pacino voice* I don't care about religions, politics, colors. Tell me how you help life, love, light? There's my religion. At one time I might have fought anyone over it, now, bah fighting is for silly young boys knowing no better.
As another bit of help ... you might try looking this
fella up, then
down, see what all he dishes out about vaping. Yep, he kind of has brownie points with me. I respect his work. There's some here and there I might disagree about, I might or might not have good reason for that.
Respecting another person's opinion, work, view doesn't mean you absolutely cannot ever challenge it. What it means is you consider or give this person's views a bit of weight in what you decide based on your own looking around, reading, looking stuff up. Respecting someone does not ever infer worshiping them. Sorry, if I don't worship any god you can be damn sure I don't worship any human. Might revere a human or few, love, honor, respect them but worship? Nah, I'll leave that for those with a herd view of life and things. They do exist too, remember me mentioning our lovely friends the "know it alls"? *nods* There you go, and according to Chico Marx no matter where you go there you'll be, too.
Excuse me and my humble apologies if I've seemed to ramble this morning. I thought you brought the coffee, or least maybe some kind of snack. Now, I need wrestle Raymond Burr for it. Not that I particularly mind that. I dislike it in the sense of feeling naked due to not having coffee, never mind the nude wrestling itself.
Also apologize if I've seemed to belittle you, or anyone. I rather not do that to anyone if I can avoid it. Again, I stumble at times, can write like the raven at the writing desk but to "communicate", is different. Communication is probably the number killing fiend on our planet. We need pictorial telepathy instead. It would make empathy easier too.
Now, as for my darkened sheets? *sighs* I need to see Joey and Charlie Wong's grand father. I forgot two Wongs seldom ever make a white. No don't mean that as an ethnic joke as much as a moral tale based on a pun yet still holding value. Sometimes even looking thrice you still miss the curve ball life zips past you, thinking it was a straight fast ball. So, think I'll ...
