If we cannot even be civil to each other in this BBS Board, then why are we pushing our brand of civility down the throats of foreign countries at the point of a gun? Go in peace, please. What ?????? lost me tooThanks to both of you for making my point ~~ take care CathyThanks so much for explaining.Justsaynomore to justsaynomore Cathy, I think some people really did not understand what was bothering you. Maybe you can explain. I think you have been very positive on this board and I hope you do not leave.
Roxy - I am not going anywhere - go in peace please to the posters in here who preach intolerance, but post hatred towards their fellow suffering board members, who are only looking for comfort and support of a disease process that is unrelenting, baffling, cunning, and powerful. If you post you are thinking of leaving, please do, we are tired of your hypocrisy, posts of hatred towards your fellow members in here, and it's just a bid for attention anyway. Grow up.
An explanation? All this bickering just in this small BBS and Americans think that the rest of world wants what we have, shoved down their throats by invading their countries and at the point of a gun? I don't quite understand what there is not to understand. Until Americans clean up their own act, we have no right to even step foot outside our borders, nor try to shove our beliefs at fellow humans on this planet.
For example (since 6t5frlane likes to pick at me), he posts elsewhere he ignores all OT threads like this, and only posts on the RA-related posts, then comes in here and immediately attacks me for posting in an open forum, OT. There's some civility, then he follows it up with a childish post that a grown man should have outgrown in kindergarten. That's an example of American leadership? These are the American traits and manners we are espousing that the rest of the world should want to follow? America is only a few hundred years old, and way behind the eight ball in manners and civility compared to ancient civilizations that exist in say Asia, and this BBS is just one small example of what I am referring to as a micro-example of the intolerance of Americans towards each other.
If we cannot even agree to disagree in here in a polite way, then what are we doing in foreign countries trying to Americanism them? Maybe they don't want our culture or our "civility" or maybe even our "Christianity", because I see a lack of it in here daily through the viciousness of the posts from the so-called "Christians" in here, who wrap themselves in their false idol beliefs and I really feel sorry for them when the choice is finally made.
I am sure this is going to cause a heap of posts about what a terrible American Christian I am, so bring it on.
Well, I got it even before you explained. Seriously.Theresa - I am positive about 99.9% of you got it, without explanation.Seems to me you are doing exactly what you are berating other "Americans" for doing. Why did you make that post if you are trying for peace?Justsaynomore- Sorry i dont mean to be ignorant but have i missed something.I have been a bit ill to read all the posts lately but Roxys message to you was one of kindness and Lovie just stated that this thresd had lost her.~~pound her head against her computer screen~~justsaynomore, I think I am understanding what you are saying.
Does this have to do with the political thread? I didn't understand it at first; but I've gone back and read a couple of pages of that in the hopes of undestanding....so I guess that's where I was lost. I really haven't been keeping up with that. Don't assume everyone is reading all the OT stuff. I only read the OT stuff that interest me and ignore the rest.
Didn't mean to further upset you. Honestly.
I'm with you Lovie, either that or my brain fog has settled in again.I think I will stick to gentle conversation for a whileThank you, none of this is directed specifically at any member or poster or anyone in particular, its just my opinion. Lovie, pincushion, take care. Roxy-you hang in there sweetie. Cathy PS Gimpy - you did get it :) Please, positive conversations, please.
