the pot calling the kettle black

[Dale Dugas]

here is the yak calling the kettle black.

I think it's important to be aware of the repercussions of one's words in the long term.
For instance... someone who talks may be capable of backing up their words they may have gungfu relations or fellow students who haven't similar size or strength. People remember the things we say. And sometimes they write off a whole family because our words were incautious.

There is a reason martial artists are supposed to be polite. Only part of that reason is the whole "well you could be hit/stabbed/shot/killed for that!" rationale. The other is that I don't want my brothers and sisters to pay for my immoderate words.

Someone goes to a new area and starts a group. Unbeknownst to them years earlier one of their seniors insulted a long-timer in that area. Problems ensue. It's way better to just be a nice person to begin with I think.

Dale:

As I recall from living in Tennessee, the Great Smoky Mountains are beautiful this time of year....well, actually, at any time of year that one might wish to visit them!

Yeah, but Mt. Guadalupe in west Texas is higher than anything east of the Mississippi, although it's not the pinnacle of national parks.

[Doc Stier]

Quite so!

Mt. Mitchell in the Great Smoky Mountains is the highest summit east of the Mississippi River, rising to 6,684 ft. above sea level, compared to Guadalupe Peak at 8749 ft. above sea level, more than 2,000 feet higher in elevation.


Mount Mitchell, North Carolina


Guadalupe Peak, Texas

Everything is BIGGER in TEXAS !

[mixjourneyman]

re everything is bigger in Texas: A tourist is walking down the street in Houston for the first time and he sees a steak house. He goes in and orders a steak.
The waiter brings him the biggest cut of beef he has ever seen, his eyes bulge, but then he remembers "everything is bigger in Texas".
He eats a quarter of the steak and is full, pays, leaves the restaurant and sees a strip club. He goes inside and the girls have the biggest bosom that he has ever witnessed, he is a bit surprised and then remembers "everything is bigger in Texas".
He gets a little tanked at the bar of the strip club on the biggest mug of beer he has ever seen and then starts on his way back to his hotel.
When he is stumbling into the hotel property he falls in the swimming pool and immediately starts yelling "DON'T FLUSH!!!!"

I'm born and bred in East Tennessee, and I can confirm that the girl on the swing is thinking exactly that.

[Dale Dugas]

it was in response to his being a total hypocrite.

Unfortunately you have to call people on their crap.
