But my problem is the "37 rules." I don't like them.


That's alot of rules to follow, and not sure they pop up in the book.

I also agree that its easy to blast people, or 2x4 them. A little too easy.

I'd rather get people to think and I really try to only use a 2x4 on people I am invested in and know their situation.

Take...dating.

That's always a great way for people to feel better about themselves. I am actually all for it. As long as it is done for the right reasons and no one is going to get hurt. Vulnerable people I think causes grief.

But you don't. Is she aware of this as well?
Similar, sort of to a deciscion on your part.
