Who can you trust ??

[phreakwars]

I'm not talking about just close friends, but specific people such as police and law and such and community members and neighbors... ALL kinds of variations here..

 

Like for instance... 1 person I trust is a guy named Jose...

 

Jose is a damn good carpenter, and a very honest man. His main ethic is Hispanic Catholic, and he works hard.

 

I sold Jose one of my trailors, and assigned him as the caretaker for my rental trailor.

 

Originally, I wanted to get rid of the one I sold to Jose for only $1,000.

 

Jose has put alot of his own money in the rebuilding of THAT home, and has only paid me thus far $200 for the home. I told him I was in absolutely no hurry what so ever to get payment for the home from him because I knew he was putting alot of his own money into the home already. I have seen him put new sheeting up to replace the original wall paneling, I have seen the restoration job he has done to the hallway area, and a complate remodeling of the kitchen area..

 

Jose intends to let his brother live in the trailor... Jose lives next door.. He ALSO owns the trailor on the OPPOSITE side of his house that he is fixing up for his dad to live..

 

And for THAT family effort alone, my wife and I decided to just GIVE Jose the house with only the $200 that he paid us. On the condition that he is the caretaker for our other rental unit trailor.

 

I ALSO have Jose handling the placement of the renter TYPE I want in it... A HISPANIC FAMILY !!

 

Sad to say, the Hispanic family is probably a safer bet ANY TIME over a typical white trash family..

 

Hispanic family's are CLEANER for one thing....

 

Trust me on this !!

 

I can honestly say, I have delivered food to HUNDREDS of homes in my sizeable town, I have NEVER, EVER, EVER ran across a filthy hispanic family, even those living in the cheapest of homes... but I HAVE ran across MANY a white trash slob !!

 

Even the owner of the trailor park agreed with me that she would rather see hispanic "FAMILYS" over any other type of owner/renter..

 

Another plus is they pay you IN CASH, ON TIME, NO QUESTIONS !!

 

Can't honestly say I see the same from the common "WHITE" folk of America..

 

On the other hand.. if you get a couple of single Mexican males living together splitting the bills.. you have PROBABLY just rented your home to a couple of alcoholic party boys !!

 

I hate to stereotype, but it is TRUE !!

 

But then, that is just one example of how one applies the gesture of "TRUST".. How about some of YOUR stories... this time I will TRUST that you assholes won't derail the topic !!

This is very true. I remember growing up, we'd get the shit kicked out of us if we made a mess and didn't clean up after ourselves.

[lilmizztemper]

I trust anyone who is bound by LAW to keep their trap shut...anyone else..well I guess anything goes. Hell I hate it when I trust my children to NOT repeat what they hear come out of my mouth....especially when I see a state trooper and make the comment to a friend that he's a real hard ass...and kinda a prick...then have a blow out like some bad karma shit...trooper pulls behind me to assist me and then takes my girls to his car to pick out a teddy bear like the NICE cop he is tryin to be...my daughter then says innocently...yer not mean at all, like momma said...HEY MOMMA!!! you were wrong!!! then she proceeds to grin from ear to ear as I slyly pour myself back into the damned car!!!! KIDS THESE DAYS!!

No one. I'm trying. But so far, very few have made it into the radar of trust worthiness. And why should they care? They aren't the one with everything at stake. I'm the one who has everything to lose. So I trust few and even those are on a probationary period.

[RoyalOrleans]

I have a very small circle of folk that have my adamant trust. These I also trust with my life, my well-being, and the management of my affairs if I were to fade and die. These three people aren't family, but fellows I have known since I was in elementary school.

 

Much like respect, trust has to be earned. Lest you be taken at unawares, you don't go into a relationship with a man or a woman with one iota of trust in them. It takes time, patience, and the willingness on their part to trust you as well.

 

Trust is linked to honor and honor is linked to character. Without character, I'd be a heap of flesh and bones.

Truth, Atlantic, Outlaw, my folks, several friends, and every other human I meet until they give me a reason not to.

You have my pity.. and my left nut. Give it back please.

I don't need your pity. When you let yourself get trampled by pigs, you can't cry when there is nothing left. I took your nut out with the trash, it was spoiled.

Why would you let pigs destroy your soul? Why let them win? I don't need my nut anyways.. I'm good.

You obviously have no ability to hold a conversation. I don't let let any one win, I don't trust anyone to get close enough. It's not to be pitied. It's safer. I don't have pieces of me all over, with no thing recognizable left.

Well, to good for me, I quit.

 

If you don't let anyone close enough, you have my pity, whether you want it, or not.

[Komrade Vostok Hazard]

Sometimes I trust...everyone. Unfortunately I've gotten myself screwed over in a few ways because of this. (don't feel like getting into the details)

[Outlaw2747]

I don't trust many people. I would believe more in DTA (Don't Trust Anybody) than trusting everyone.

Reagan said it best "Trust, but verify"

[wez]

The way I look at it... You want people to trust you, right? Can people trust you? Trustworthy people trust others.

Agreed. And trust is near on impossible to win back.

[wez]

Still gotta give it to get it... life is to short.

 

Even if I don't find it.. I look for it in everyone. I like to know who people really are. So I give them my full trust, and go from there.

 

If 1 person on the face of this planet can truly trust you, then they all can. Be trustworthy.

[tiredofwhiners]

I trust different people in differant areas. My dad i can trust in most things, unless he says he'll be someplace, then you don't believe him until you see the whites of his eye's. My mom most things except can not trust her to say the right things to my kids or wife.(she can be a little better than everybody else, in her eye's). Phreak i can trust not to spit in my pizza.

 

So it just depends on what i'm looking for.

Exactly! It depends on what your trusting them with.

 

My dad is the best person on the planet and I can trust him with my life. I can trust my immediate family as well it

Don't get me wrong.. it's not like I walk up to every person I meet and give them my credit card number, but I'll share anything about myself with anyone of a personal nature. I got nothing to hide, or be ashamed of. Now, then if someone tries to use that info against me in any way to hurt me.. then I know they're not to be trusted. Tells me all I need to know, quickly. And the only hurt I feel is for their pathetic existence. Even then, I don't give up on people. People can change, if they see whats wrong. Like looking at yourself through someones elses eyes. Not many have the guts to do it... Do you?

Wez, listen you are missing the whole point completely. Seriously. It's not like those of us who are in the "non" trusting camp if you will are walking around with hard hearts thinking every one is out to hurt us. But here's the deal, I'm a very open person. I don't hid my personality, or who I am. However, in the heat of the battle, I have seen too many people tuck and run only to protect themselves. When they said they would always be by my side. Now, not every day am I in the trenches like I was, but I still have that knowledge that people let you down. People can't stay where they say they will, even if in their own hearts they think they will. That is where most of us are coming from. We want the people who will say they will kill for us and will follow through on that if need be. Believe me, I will kill for my loved ones and I will follow through. I need know who will do the same. Yes, we should all have happy rainbow and ferry thoughts for everyone, but that's not realistic. Just from reading this thread, I know that you are not the one I would trust in the heat of the battle. If that hurts your feelings, then you need to reconsider why you think you are a good friend and re-evaluate that in the light of this thread.

I stand up for whats right, regardless of who's side I'm on. Always.

Ok, I'm done with you now, because that had nothing to do with the conversation. Thanks for trying. Enjoy your stay in the idiot box. Looks like it will be for a long time.

If I'm gonna be on anyones side always, they better always be right.

Well wez you need to get on the right side. We'll be waiting for you.
