… and to Richard:
You are almost a caricature of all that people detest in them, doing them much more harm than good. I can only judge from your posts in Pet Talk, but I have to say that you appear to be the most unpleasant person I have ever tried to discuss a serious issue with. You just close your mind, rant and rave incoherently and fire off insults and condescending jokes. I love humor, what I don't like is malicious humor and infantile jokes when discussing a serious subject. If you are typical of what Americans are becoming, then I certainly wouldn't give much for the future of a short sighted and narrow-minded America.
Why can't you just let people try to discuss complex issues in peace? Or try to state your case sanely without gross distortions and stupid jokes? Surely you would rather spend your time polishing your guns and thumping yourself on the chest, or threatening people who you mistakenly believe want to come and "rattle your cage"? It all seems rather pathetic and counter productive. You are just polarizing the situation even more and intensifying the dissension and misunderstandings. When you start doing that, people have a tendency to react in kind, and all sense and reason evaporates, the discussion becomes meaningless. So you have achieved nothing but generate even more hostility. Is there any significance in your posts - or aren't we supposed to take anything that you say seriously? If so, why do you bother?
I was too busy trying to get psyched up about Houston and Atlanta, and the Packers game yesterday, so I passed on your commentary.


You are mean!!!!!!

Just kidding, I wouldn't know you on the street so I can't say anything about the person you are.....it wouldn't be sporting to comment on your personality based on your posts. I'll take the high road on this one.

A dear friend of mine emailed me this line..

Hmm...this person hates everything I treasure about you.

Talk about disturbed!!!!

One thing that really worries me about this paragraph..

Surely the intelligent way to face a common enemy is to rally together and fight united against them. That's what normally happens in an intelligent, civilized society. Nobody can deny that the Bush administration has done the precise opposite, polarizing the country and splitting it into two bitterly opposed factions.


Let me get this straight.....A peace mongerer like you wants the civilized society to rally and FIGHT against who???

Polarized country????? I didn't see the weather reports but I know it hasn't snowed here lately....

If you "take me" seriously can we stop for an ice cream first?
