You want to give these Liberal taught kids a lesson in self respect?
Draft them into the military. That will fix the situation in LESS than a generation. Dan/W4NTI "Dee Flint" wrote in message ... "Mike Coslo" wrote in message ... Dan/W4NTI wrote: "Carl R. Stevenson" wrote in message ... "Dan/W4NTI" wrote in message hlink.net... There it is. Proof that "Incentive licensing" has caused hate and discontent in Ham Radio. I've said it for years. And here it is. Dan/W4NTI Dan ... at last we agree!!!!!! We *MUST* eliminate this "I'm better than you because (pick one of the following, or any other reason ... "I have a higher class license." or "I passed an xx wpm Morse test.") - class warfare. We are ALL hams ... period. Some are more experienced. They SHOULD be Elmering (and Elmering doesn't mean "browbeating them into your personal preferences") the newbies and HELPING them to learn (whatever they want to) about ham radio, rather than "dising" them and treating them like dirt. This stuff has GOT to stop! 73, Carl - wk3c http://home.ptd.net/~wk3c Sure does......most of the newcomers are into learning. Most of the newcomers do want to be Elmered. However......some of the newcomers need an attitude adjustment. Most of them are here it seems. You raise a good point, Dan. Elmering is good. Being a willing student is good. You must have both for it to work. Many new Hams do not want to feel inferior. I don't know if it is the first generation of "high self esteem" students hitting adulthood or what. But there are a number of newbies out there that bristle when offered advice. And I do know how to offer advice in a kindly manner. I think this "protect their self esteem at all costs" approach was badly mishandled. While one should never put down a person, they do need guidance and it has to be pointed out that mistakes are mistakes. Because these students were protected from their mistakes and told it was OK, in the end, I believe that they end up with lower self-esteem. They do often realize that they've made a mistake but the fact that no one points it out or helps them correct it transfroms in their minds into the concept that they are so lowly that they aren't worth helping. This is a bigger hit on their self esteem than anything I can think of. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |

You want to give these Liberal taught kids a lesson in self respect? Draft them into the military. That will fix the situation in LESS than a generation. Don't y'all LOVE it when Dannie do his George C. Scott imitation from the movie "Patton?" Gotta love that Amateur Radio Service Uniform, the shiny helmet, polished riding boots (no mud from the Fulda Gap on them, nossir!), all those Medals of glorious ham service, the chrome-plated morse key in its holster at his side! The huge American flag behind him on the stage is quite effective. However, the equally huge banner saying DEATH TO NO-CODERS! is a bit tacky. Here's some recruits to "be taught a lesson through military service...they haven't served yet:" James Miccolis Brian Kelly Michael Coslo Dee Flint Tension-hutt! Keep a straight line! Eyes front! No talking in ranks! You OBEY DAN, do whatever he say! He be da new Dill Sergeant! He God! sho biz |

It would be wasted on that group. sho biz Welp, at least Kelly has "real military experience." Probably photo'd Steve washing down the Geedunk. Photo's stamped "FOUO" and faxed to the NSA. |

I think all but Dee ran off to Canada to avoid serving... Welp, at least Kelly has "real military experience." Probably photo'd Steve washing down the Geedunk. Photo's stamped "FOUO" and faxed to the NSA. I can't "bear" the thought of that... :-) bam hit |
