That's it exactly!

>>>>You need a screening mechanism to remove the chaff. But that can be left to greater minds than mine.

Why don't you let us Forumites do a bit of chaff sorting?

I'd be happy to review a few MP3's and pass on my opinion....

BTW - Kudos to you BP, I can't really say more than has been said already.

**JB1** · 06-03-2005, 11:26 AM

Unbelievable.

I so wish when I was a younger man with fire in my belly that a company had provided me with all the opporunity afforded by something like the Battle.

I'd still think about entering us, but we're in the UK.

These f***ing kids just don't know they're born.

And to be rude enough to say you lied, swindled & cheated. It beggars belief.

But still, BP, you made a frigg'n stack of $'s right, so who gives a $hit?

This is just a general observation and I am not applying this to anyone in particular but it seems to me that many of the young people that I know today are unwilling to accept blame for anything. They seem to want to point the finger at anyone other than themselves. Being late for work, getting a traffic ticket, not winning a contest etc.. Maybe it's the way that they are being raised? If you don't grow up having to take responsibility for your failures and shortcomings you would certainly have a tendency to place blame on anything or anyone other than yourself. I'm sure that many of the young adults here that have been brought up right will agree with me that this is a trend among their peers. IMHO.

I know I'm not that old, but from my experience +1

**AnthonyD** · 06-03-2005, 01:12 PM

Yep - said it before - "I blame the parents"...

Seriously, though. It's important that our kids are taught to be responsible and take responsibility for themselves - doing my best to raise my two boys that way.

I hear ya! I'm trying the same with my two boys also.

)

Big Poppa,

It is awesome that you appreciate an opportuity to show your support for the staff. I think you also handled the 'battle kidz' with care. At my workplace, I also like to roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty when I can. It keeps me grounded, so that the cushy aspects of my job don't go to my head.

BP:

Don't suffer the whiners much. For every one of them there are a dozen that appreciated the chance to play.

I find that people get their power from either positive or negative energy. People who derive their energy from focusing on positive things generally go around smiling quietly: they don't generally shout their happiness to the rooftops. Those who are happiest when they are in crises are the ones who bitch incessantly about how they deserve more and are denied by others: it's an excuse for not doing better that lends comfort. You might think that some of these people are comforting themselves through their complaints.

So keep a peaceful heart, knowing that you and yours have put out the good karma and many happy people have recieved it. The good you set out will spread further than you think.

Thanks for a beautiful Stingray.
Phil
