A lot of people tell me I'm too blunt. someone please clarify this for me, I mean, I try not to be downright rude (yes, your as fat as a blue whale-human hybrid) but I like to just state things clearly and simply. Obviously this means I'll never be a politician (watch c span, "Mr. President what do you feel about abortion?" "I had a dog once...")
Which do you think is worse, being as blunt as a butter knife or beating around the bush like a landscaper with too much free time?

Well I mean,you have to tell the truth,but not be rude.
I think a good mix of the two is the way to go.

Nobody wants that. Alia, I say be yourself. If other people hate you for it, they're not the kind of people you'd like anyway. My take on these things is simple- If I'm going to be damned, Let me damned for who I am".
No point in hiding, Alia.

The Chaun thinks that one ought to be blunt to people who ramble aimlessly, but not if they're royalty. In all other cases, just be nice and polite. It never hurts to be polite. Belive you the Chaun, putting up a front as a nice, mild-mannered guy makes it easier to catch one's enemies off their gaurd.
