No it isn't a weakness.

:o :laugh: You didn't have to admit squat - you had me fooled. I responded thinking you were the douche himself.

Don't think that I could be used for
such a minor purpose.

See what you get for being kind to calandale?  :lol:

they say that you get more bees with honey. 

Meaning that setting out the  honey gets you stung? (see above)

Actually, McJ, don't go telling everybody , but you have to steal the honey off the bees in the first place, so if they think it's "Be Kind to Bees Week" more fool them.  :evillaugh:

Seriously, though I agree with the consensus in this thread, that kindness is strength, in moderation; weakness (or even amounting to unkindness) in excess (that  drunken ,over-tolerant mother being a case in point. but it's not always that clear-cut, of course).

I don't believe kindness to be a weakness myself but have dealt with many people who do at work.  In fact I have even had them tell me outright that I was weak because I was too nice all this lead to an argument about this and my refusal to work with them again.  Also others have told me not to be so nice or I would be taken advantage of.  Well I tend to cut the niceness out when it isn't going both ways but try and be pleasant about it.

Kindness is often mistaken for weakness.   You don't have to be weak to be kind.
:P   Internets are super serious.

When I broke up from my wife, it was not because I'm
spiteful, but it was because I needed to me more kinder to
my selfish whims.

My female associates from school will concur.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a nice person so I try hard to be because I thought then everyone will like me and kids will stop being mean to me and thinking I'm dumb but some kids knew my weakness by telling me to give them one of my belongings to them or they won't be my friend and I do it. That's how desprate I was for friends then. Then that stopped after we moved and I wasn't giving my stuff away anymore. I quit that when I was 12.

So I have been taken advantage of for my niceness IRL and even online but I learned to toughen up and guys stopped calling me mean after I put up in my AIM profile I was a mean after saying I won't do nude photos and take pics of my breasts or bottom and don't ask me to look for my dad's camera. Few men online have called me mean when i refuse to take nude photos of me so I put up in my AIM profile for those men about don't ask me to do it because I won't and then said I was mean using their words before they could call me that. That also did the trick of getting less perverted men and now I occasionally run into a few.
