Transferring VHS to DVD

[Luvchefmic]

Seriously? You're comparing vials of crack to copying videos for your own personal use? Really. Do you always have to have the last word in any discussion?

just something I found that I thought I would share: interesting

Identifying the emotional vampires


Control

This person dictates and dominates you; he or she is rigid, rarely fun or spontaneous, often telling you what is best for you and how you should be living your life.

Criticizer

This person is highly critical, condemnatory and judgmental. He puts others down often and easily points out your flaws.


Drama Queen

This person needs to be center of attention 24 hours a day; he or she is great at getting attention and when he doesn’t get it or his way, he creates drama and outbursts believing that the intense emotion is a healthy connection. This person can also be passive- aggressive: seeking your approval and charming while he has it, but aggressive and abusive when he doesn’t get it.





Understanding the emotional vampires

All of the above behaviors stem from negative experiences and programming. In other words, the emotional vampires feel empty and are missing something and thus they turn to you to fill them up with: validation, recognition, attention, approval, love, acceptance, reassurance, personal power, etc. No matter how confident and assertive they may appear, underneath, they often suffer from self-hatred, low self-esteem, feelings of inadequacy, guilt, shame and so forth.

So is your posting of that personal attack on me your way of being an emotional vampire?

bicker, I am afraid that your analysis is incorrect again.

So what you're saying is that the copy itself, clearly broken from the copy protected copy, that serves as evidence of the crime. Thanks for clearing up my misunderstanding of that.

Only in Bickerland. In the place where the rest of us live, all I and others can do is point to the writings of Congress, judges, a recording industry trade group, and the US Copyright Office. But it seems that their jurisdiction doesn't extend into Bickerland. I can't compete because you are the sole arbiter within your realm and it is too complicated to explain... but overall I think in fact you've made things pretty clear for us.

Transferring has been on DH's list of things to do. Maybe this is something I can work on when he deploys. I think there are enough instructions on this thread that I can figure it out.

Word of advice. Its easier to not read it than to try to reason with it.

I just managed to skip some 6 pages or so of this thread.
