"Hmmmm I think that if that engineer gave a versatile wrench turner all the parts to build that plane, that wrench turner can have ideas of his own and just as easily take it all to his fabrication shop and build a boat."

My step father has psent hte last 20+ years in the Air Force as a JEM. He's worked on everything from T-37s to B-1s and B-2s. I'd have to ask him to make sure, but I think the only engines that he has never had his fingers in are the newer ones for the Raptor, but then again, he's setting policies now, not just merely following them.

He'll be the first one to admit that while he can probably fix just about anything, and trust me, he's fixed engines that were screwed up from strange things, he would have no clue how to go about designing one. He understand sthe principles of how the engines work and how the parts go together, but there is very little chance that he could create one from scrap.

Oh, and by the by... QUITTING SMOKING BLOWS GOATS!!!!!!!! *grumble*

I know someone, who is close to me, who can work on computers, do any plumbing, electrical work, landscape, backhoe, carpentry, read or create blueprints, build a whole house from top to bottom, knows all the stars and constillations, surpurb at math, has common sense, work with metal, work on cars, build a motorcycle, sculpt, etc, etc. and he only had schooling on how to do one of those minor things, the others he's capable of doing he learned on his own and looking at manuals but, where are we going with this? Wasn't your original quote about planes a metaphor? How did we get to your step father? LOL

I apologize that I didn't look at dates and opened a couple of old threads. I was just moving right along and getting caught up in the subject matter. I'm still learning about posting. And here I was all proud of myself that I'd figured out how to make those neat boxes with what someone else said. Sheesh.

An engineer that designs aircraft engines will most likely never be found actually turning the wrenches that are used on those engines.

Grin. The better engineers I've worked with DO lift wrenches, and take occasional trips to the assembly area to see whether they have an anal <> cranial inversion issue. It's the ones that think they know everything (and generally couldn't find their butt with both hands) that are too snotty to be bothered with 'the little people'. If you're concerned with the performance of the company as a whole and not just your little job, then it's a part of the experience. If you truly believe you've designed a wonderful <fill in the blank>, ask the folks that are stuck with building it.

People need to un-learn roles sometimes so that they can improve themselves.

Some days it's just not worth the effort to gnaw through the leather straps.

I figure you have to be able to count on Someone.
Don't knock the "purists".

     I dunno, seems like that preacherman in the OTD thread would have qualified as a "purist" in his value system and it turned out he couldn't be counted on.

     I'd be happy to have the conversation with you Lotus, but lemme have a rain check... The next couple days are going to really limit my online time.

      I'm going to argue that switches are not as concerned with image and therefore are MORE trustworthy in relationships because they are liberated to express themselves fully.

You were lied to. It's really difficult for male subs to find a domme so it isn't uncommon for them to do what your ex did. He figured you would get used to being in domme mode and he would get what he wanted and to hell with you. It was selfish and a rotten thing to do.

But yes there are switches, usually not with power if switching within the relationship but even that's not unknown. Some people switch with their partner, some are subs to some people but dom/mes to others. Some women sub to men but top women, and I'm sure vice versa.
