[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not in all situations but there are certain situations where being direct is warranted.

For example, the poster with a friend who has a pit bull from hell who is hosting a party— why wouldn’t you be honest and tell the friend you are uncomfortable around her dog?

Generally speaking, if one is focused on the truth and their actions are led by that, being direct is the way to go! We could all benefit from more directness in our lives. I know I respond much better to straight shooters than those who *think* they are somehow being kind, conscientious, or sensitive in situations that don’t call for that. Or, as I’ve started to wonder more recently, are they afraid? And if so, why?

So long as someone has the courage to say it directly to me, and the intent is not harm, I much prefer direct talk.[/quote]

A related question is how people can be so delusional about animals. The same person who would freak about his knife not being perfectly clean in a restaurant has no trouble walking all over town carrying a bag of dog crap. Or the ones who make you take your shoes off in their house but everything is covered in pet fur. It’s like their minds turn to mush as soon as a non-human creature is involved. [/quote]
