'sure, i'll try it'

[Bob_Dobbs]

i'm a 'sure i'll try it' kind of guy. that doesn't mean i just do anything that comes to mind or is suggested, but i am more than willing to consider many things, and to dream many things.

i am dissatisfied with the status quo. i am not interested in tradition for its own sake. i am interested in results and enjoyment and being well liked.

it so happens that i have tried drugs and some other things society offers. i believe in human potential and i accept my duty to maintain society and make it a good and workable entity. i respect others in general and i do not choose to steal or engage in tyrannical violence.

i have ADD.

this is one personality type is suppose. what kind of things does this mean?

Can I ask when you had opertunity to engage in tyrannical violence? Who replaced you after you stepped down from power?

[Bob_Dobbs]

i choose not to engage in violence. i was a violent youngster.

So you would encourage violence by allowing it.

I followed you all the way up to the last line....not quite sure what you want though...could you explain?

[Bob_Dobbs]

"these social and mental characteristics designate a kind of person, do they not? this kind of person may possibly be predicted to do other things based on their other characteristics, though this is in no way causation."

...would be a suitable alternative

no i dislike the use of force. i believe things can or should be reached by peaceful decisions and agreements. if i am able to prevent the unlawful use of violence i will.
