To read the flier.
You know, your use of questions as a form of passive aggressive bullying is kinda running paper thin hereabouts. Maybe you’ll pull some of that superior intelligence out and actually use it for a change. You’re always given opportunities.. always have a choice. And yet you seem to choose the same childish egotistical one to make it all about you, over and over. As if you think you’re the center of the universe and the rest of us revolve around you. It’s always about you. Kind of like a baby.
Why not try making it about others? Why not use that superior mind of your’s to empower, rather than demean? Even the post by kalianna letting forks know that a local ohana is offering an opportunity to come on down into Waipio in exchange for giving some of your time helping out is immediately turned into your very own dog and pony show.. you just can’t help yourself, can you?
I don't know what that means where you grew up, but here, in Hawaii, that’s being a disrespectful brat. And had you grown up here your elders would have whacked you upside the head long before they would have allowed you to behave like that repeatedly. Here, in Hawaii, our host culture don’t take kindly to idiots making fools of themselves like that. They see it as disrespect. Which, of course, it is. In this case disrespect towards kalianna, disrespect towards the family that gives the invite. You could read the instructions, follow the path, but no. Just more disrespect that exemplifies why nobody like your telescopes on their mountain. Not because they no like astronomy, not because they no like study the stars, but because they no like your disrespect.
It’s the same ol’ same ol’ Tom. And, unfortunately you no like learn how to respect others but rather demand others learn to bow down to you.
If the folks no like answer your call, which by the sound of it was made on a Sunday night in the middle of a rain storm, maybe you might try a little respect and call when normal folks do. And, when you do, please let us know how it goes. Thx.
