I don't care if you have a different opinion than me.
I can still respect someone who does have a different opinion.
Some I respect, but would not want to meet to them in real life, or message them here.
Others of course, are not worthy of my respect.
And I am sure other people feel the same about me or anyone else.
Oh well..

Personally.. I just didn't like the bragging.

And what seemed as an intentional attack on Texas (even though your article was true, as far as verbiage).
But the ' illiterate', comment, even in jest was TOO much.


You have a pair of gonades there..
I do give you that They have almost as much brass as my ovaries.

Welcome to forums.

Canada is a much more peaceful place

Canada is a much more peaceful place

I may have been a little unfair to a lot of people, and want to apologize. I reminded myself I should be celebrating the differences, because if we all thought the same things, this would be an incredibly boring place to live.

What I have learned in my 50-plus years here on this blue-green spinning world is that we're all of a different mind. Opinions, facts, juicy articles, theories, these are pretty much useless to us, if we feel a certain way about something.

It's difficult for us to believe one thing, hear a few things from others, and suddenly think "wow, was I wrong!" *laughs* Of course it doesn't happen. Or if it does, I've yet to see it.

So, yes, maybe I think Hillary is a better choice than Trump.
Or believe abortion and many other human rights belong with the people not the government.
Maybe I believe in gun control, and giving all genders, races, and religions fair rights.
Maybe I believe in climate change, or alien beings, or ghosts and other mysteries.
Maybe I believe in a higher power.
Maybe I believe that the Republican Party has momentarily lost its direction.
Maybe I believe the Democratic Party is a nation of kiss-ups and kowtowers.
Maybe I believe in a whole lot of others things.

I don't think I'm a liberal though. I'm not sure what I am. Am I all for making this country is fantastic as I can, hell yes.

Universal healthcare.
Free education for all.
Free Wifi from coast-to-coast, even underlying areas, and low-populations.
Less banks and power-mad money-men. Tighter banking regulations.
Research and then re-evaluate all trade laws/regulations with every country America does business with.
A complete evaluation of endangered animals and newer, more stricter laws to prevent animal cruelty at home.
A completely re-built waterway and electrical grid. We need this badly.
A dismantling of the IRS, and going to just one simple yearly tax based on income only.
Stricter control not on guns, but the people who use them. Including annual mental health physicals and tests for all gun-owners of suspect mentalities.
Legalization of all drugs. Dismantle the DEA and add over 500,000 FBI forces. Crime will drop like a stone.

So, yes, I don't think I'm a liberal. I'm more of a conservative progressive. I believe in less government interference in our lives, I believe in spending less, and allowing more freedoms. I also believe that free enterprise and capitalism are the laws of the land. =)

Geez, I should have ran against Trump. =P

Anyway, I'll try to celebrate differences from here on out. Sorry, all. =)
