shut up.

Jul 06, 2006 23:20

I've always had this notion that I talk when I get nervous and should shut up. I tend to ramble on during job interviews, while in the back of my head I've got that voice telling me to pipe down and let the interviewer talk. When I've been on dates, I have often felt that I tent to talk too much, out of nervousness ( Read more... )

This sure was a long post. You type too much. ( ... )

Wow I didn't think you would go wireless?! YEA!

More importantly, I totally agree with you about the feeling of talking too much especially during a situation such as a job interview. I respect your comments about the recent US/North Korea events, but to play devil's advocate for a moment, aren't you worried about what will happen if nothing is said at all. Could we be over reacting. I'm sure the countries all felt the same way during the Cold War when the US and the Soviet Union did the same thing. At times I really get upset at the belief that the US government is in charge of the world mentality. I'm sure I seem to be straddling the fence here but my opinions on this matter are constantly being constructed.

"aren't you worried about what will happen if nothing is said at all."

Oh, I'm not advocating saying nothing at all... I'm advocating letting other take the lead on this one. We are now scrambling to get enough people together to make it seem like the WORLD is in concensus, when China and Russia have said they'll block sanctions... meanwhile Japan has already started their own sanctions. I'm just saying, wouldn't it be better if Japan, Europe, Australia or even (hope against hopes) China came out first to say this was a bad move by North Korea.

But no, we HAVE to be first. We have to do the talking, not the listening.

In this sense I agree with you completely. I do think that in regards to this issue the current administration wants to be the one to dominate the World's opinion so that the current administration's goals are met. So I guess I am in agreement with you.
