Seriously, Do you just say what's on your mind (not giving a shit of the effect it may have on the person you're talking to) or do you think before you open your mouth (and make sure you say something worth listening to?) Just curious...

This makes you who you are and what you are!

That was my two cents for this fine rainy Tuesday! ;)

Absolutely... I always try to choose my words very carefully...

Posting or speaking while you are angry or drunk is never wise... always good to just walk away...

I always think before I speak or post for that matter.

oh come on LAJ, You know you get a huge laugh from those who go on a rant on a message board one day only to post "Sorry, I was drunk" the next day.

I know I do! lol....

Depends on who I'm talking to and what we're talking about.

Normally I do think before I talk...that's an effortless task, since the mind can work very, very fast in most cases.

On the other hand I've had times where I just couldn't process fast enough, then later I realize I didn't say what I thought I should or could have said...

Hey Sexy Mate! I'm doing excellent! I don't think people realize how important it is to think before they speak/post and act! :bonk:

I try, but I tend to be one of those people who has a quick response, meaning that the first thing to enter my mind is the first thing to leave my mouth.

LOL... well... not so much a laugh but rather a disgusted sigh...

Those are actually good types of threads to help me to better determine who never to do business with much less engage in coversation...

Exactly, I have seen a few dumbass’s who have done this, and by no means will I ever deal with them.

The same can be said with me in regards with a lot of these political posts.

I'm not talking about the “average” Bush supporter, that’s their choice; I do not have to agree with them to work with them, but the "Bush is right cause god is on his side" supporters or the "911 happen because Clinton got a BJ" (just saw that yesterday) supporters are just too fucking stupid to work with.

That’s the best thing about these message boards; you can weed out the crap w/o getting dirty.

For the most part I think before I speak....BUT i'll be honest, a few times I have been so emotional that i've said things that I don't mean.....of course this goes for my other half and siblings...and nosy aunt...but I really try to always say things in a proper way....but sometimes even if you speak your mind, and say things in away that you don't think will offend...you might end up offending someone....:(

Just depends on the mood, most of the time i try to think be for i speak. But sometimes i really dont give a shit what people thing about me, or the things i say.

In my mind you will go totally nuts if your always concernd with what others think!

My two cents for a slow Wed. :)

Hmmm, funbrunette, did this come from somewhere? Are you trying to make a subtle point to someone? :)

i always think before i act or utter some words...i'm always careful cause being tactless does nothing good to anyone.
