Either they thought better of it, or they made a mistake, so it was easily deleted. <br /><br />One time I made a typo on one single letter of one single word. The mistake changed my statement from a wonderful compliment to a filthy slur. It was on Eric's blog before he left blogger, I was able to delete it myself before anybody read it. I was so relieved that I almost passed out. I remember my horror, my fingers could barely move over the keyboard to delete it. I swore that I would never take that option away from my posters. I'm just hoping that blogger will move into comment following.Ernie Branscombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391160783604462511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-27428370537786429052011-09-29T20:59:35.561-07:002011-09-29T20:59:35.561-07:00Anne

I normally wouldn't say this, but I'm still stinging from your comments about I "just don't listen". Then you put those words in Suzy's mouth.. double sting... Because Suzy is usually not that mean.<br /><br /> You got very confused, mainly because you didn't listen.<br /><br />I listen with my heart, and Charlie doesn't lie. So, of course I was deeply touched by his hunger story. I don't need him to explain, I can accept what he tells me.<br /><br />Sadly, he doesn't always agree with me. But mostly he tries to not be mean. It seems that I once said that about Suzy Blah Blah.<br /><br />There was also a bunch of unfair comments on this post. I didn't delete anything, because I think that most people can sort things out for themselves.<br /><br />Ben<br />I would like to change to a thread/comment following format, but blogger allows anyone that signs up as a blogger to delete their own comments, anytime that they want. If they make a mistake they can delete it. Or, as the case may be, if they sober up they can delete it. The only time that I delete anything if when somebody attacks another person and doesn't sign it. I will delete that in a heartbeat. I've only had to delete one very recent comment, otherwise I haven't deleted anything but spam in several years.Ernie Branscombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391160783604462511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-72213447086566859462011-09-29T18:58:23.479-07:002011-09-29T18:58:23.479-07:00Looking at our seventeen year old half Pitbull mix...Looking at our seventeen year old half Pitbull mix,I think she would taste like Chicken???<br /><br />You guys need to lighten up,are "all" you ignorant folks from San Jose???

Bad choice of words...<i>And what Excuse do you want?</i> <br /><br />Bad choice of words, what I meant was an <i>explanation</i>. Why did you have to eat your dog? <br /><br /><i>I'm sorry your so disconnected to events that really happen in peoples lives!</i><br /><br />Why in the world would you expect me to be "connected" to every fragment of an "event" that happens to some stranger on a blog, especially when I have no idea of what circumstances caused the event? I can't read your mind Charlie, I'm sorry if your life included such a thing. But can you answer my question above (<i>Why didn't you walk and hitchhike out of there and panhandle to get some food?</i>) instead of expecting me to imagine the full story when all you tell is that you ate your dog, but nothing about the circumstances surrounding it. It's not a normal situation. Can you see that with out any explanation of "why" it really sound pretty crazy. If it happened that you were in a plane crash in the Andes, or some other radical situation that can explain why you undertook such drastic measures to feed yourself, than please tell. But to just drop that on the comment thread with out any accompanying explanation says nothing.Anne on a Mousenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-71186121328268912492011-09-29T17:26:18.561-07:002011-09-29T17:26:18.561-07:00Ernie...

The fact of the matter is, I find in history there were very sane people that actually got hungry enough to eat each other.<br /><br />I think that was "Desert's" point. The homeless park people are taken care of to the extent that they are not starving to death, but any help beyond that only enables them to spend money on things that actually do more harm than good.<br /><br />ANYONE that wants to get away from homelessness can. Most don't want to have to be good citizens. Some have ruined their own lives and some have mental problems. So those belong in care facilities.
