Poll question: Binary Poll: Have you ever "negotiated with yourself"
I believe there are two types of people, those who admit they have "negotiated with themselves" and liars.

3. in some circles, it's called "thinking" or "consideration"
"planning." "introspection." that sort of thing.

4. Yep, and "negotiating with others" is called
"talking".

6. No, but my neighbor is
a schizophrenic and since * took office he has been negotiating with himself and * and God on his front lawn on a regular basis. Funny thing is, some days he makes more sense than anything being reported in the MSM for the last 4 years. Seriously, he is a VERY intellegent man and he has really been having a hard time keeping his medication under control. He is perfectly harmless when his medication is working, but lately he's scaring the hell out of everybody. The neighbor directly across from him is a fundie preacher and he doesn't like what comes out of his mouth about *, so every time he hears him talk about* he calls the police.

I know it isn't really anything to joke about, but it has been pretty funny to watch the fundie neighbor lose it!

9. I doubt the chimp
has enough brain matter to negotiate with himself.

his famous back bulge. In yesterday's press conference he spoke his spinal taps voice aloud! In the middle of answering a reporter's question he suddenly said "okay, get away from the media, okay!"

I really do think he is cracking up, and Condi looked a little bit like "The Joker" in the Batman cartoons in the one and only shot I saw of her watching * make a fool of himself! Believe me they are spending their Christmas break trying to pull a rabbit out of the * administration hat!

10. I often negotiate with myself until I reach compromise.
And when I negotiate with my wife, we often reach a compromise together. Sometimes one or the other of us may reach a mutally negotiated compromise first, which is fine, because we've agreed that the one lagging behind must eventually reach a compromise too.:)

And everybody's happy! :evilgrin:

14. An honest poster!
But the real question is, will negotiating with yourself make you go blind?

hair to grow on the palm of your hand?
(that would be hands for the ambidextrous or multi-tasking self-negotiators)
