then you don't deserve me at my best"

Utter guff of course, and the kind of vapid, conceited and ill thought out meme that periodically does the rounds on Facebook, and other such places.

Perhaps a healthier perspective would be "If you can't handle me at my worst, perhaps I should be less of a sh*t, and learn to respect you a bit more, rather than blindly expecting unconditional love and respect from you no matter how badly I behave"

Anyway, I found this blog on the subject and how people get to have these incredible perspectives on themeslves, very interesting. I'd be interested in the thoughts of others..

(Sorry Andy, I've nothing of value to add what what you've said - it's trite and vapid and unfortunately very typical of social interaction now-a-days)

My favourite is:

"If you care about this issue, then please like and share this link. Of course most people won't do this"

This is designed to make you think "Ooh, I better share this or people might think I don't care, whereas in fact I do care, I just don't want to be party to this schoolyard emotional manipulation technique to get me to pledge my support for a cause"

It appears to be the email version of the old 'chain letter' that got passed around primary school playgrounds.. "if you don't pass this on to one of the next 5 people on the list, then you will have broken a chain 5,732 strong, this letter will never reach China and I won't ever speak to you again...

I think the real question is, "Why are you trying to handle me? I don't like you that way."

Most quotes are just stupid of course, but with that caveat out of the way, what is your objection to it exactly?

Isn't trying to handle people at their worst what winds up getting one in prison?

My usual reaction to this is somewhat Yoda-ish

"Hmmm, a life this person needs to get"

As an aside, I do love the reactionary bull 'political statement' pictures posted on Arsebook (sadly shared by some people I know, but hey-ho) to prove how right-on the poster is, but in truth only showing how naivety has no respect for age or life experience.
