Okay...then I feel very sad for you that you have such negative feelings about a group of people based on occupation.

But I understand it is how you feel.

No need to feel sad for me. I'm free of false trust and that makes me happy.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Well....can't help what I feel!

I just feelbad karma to paint a whole group as good or bad. Sort of gives permission to say...all people from Illinois are crooked or all lawyers are ambulance chasers or all people who do computer stuff are geeks.

Absolutes are dangerous and limiting in my opinion!

I cant wait to see the list of Conservatives or Republicans that are OK in ES's mind. For that matter what she thinks of those who actualy Believe in the United States of America's Constitution and what it stands for.

Wow. We're talking about you again. Interesting how you do that.

I expressed how I feel but not to spark controversy or to invoke sympathy. As for racking up bad karma, we should all try not to focus on the straw in another's eye when there's a beam in our own.

Exactly my point!

Exactly my point!

That wasn't perceived as your point by me. If you disagree w/my opinion, then perhaps you can say "I disagree and here's why" rather than concern yourself w/my karma. I voiced my opinion about Sanford and politicians in general because the title of this thread is "Politics and religion". If someone disagrees w/your opinion, you attack the messenger rather than the message. If s/he disagrees w/your view of the expanding role of govt., s/he's a "whiner". If s/he disagrees w/your view on race relations, s/he's a "clever little racist". If s/he disagrees w/your view on women and their relationship w/their SO's, s/he has disdain for women. Leave the personal stuff out of it. It muddies the water.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Leave the personal stuff out of it. It muddies the water.

I would respectfully suggest you do the same.

[Medusa]

I would respectfully suggest you do the same.

I make an effort to not get personal and I don't engage in name calling. Let's just leave it at that, shall we, and move on? There's no need for vitriol. Civil and intelligent discussions work for me. In that way there are no hard feelings. We all on PT love our country despite our differing views.
