View Full Version : A failure to communicate
So some of you know, others probably not, that I write for Examiner, an online article website for writers/bloggers to submit articles and reviews... here is my latest and it's kinda along the same lines as the Chick-Fil-A controversy but I expound upon an idea that comes with discussion/debate...
Thanks!

Very interesting piece. I think I'll take that advice and just STOP when the discussion turns to personal insults.

NICE! I like that quote... Kinda like that "Never argue with idiots, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." [Beer]

Great article! People do not communicate well in general. It is sad that we cannot express ourselves with out people jumping down our throats or labeling us. A company i worked for taught how us how to criticize correctly versus yelling at someone. It has been proven that when you are being yelled at your brain stops processing and begins the fight or flight squence. I think we need to be taught people / life skills.

You make a great point, and that's a good thing for a company to teach... if only they taught that in schools!

Reading that article immediately made me think of this skit with Bob Newhart titled "Stop It".
