      huh?
      Are you new to the internet? People pretend to be who they are not.
      Why did you take that so personally?

      If you "quote" me, please "quote" me correctly. Not out of context.
      Fact is I did reach out to you in a civilized way.
      I felt badly I had "attacked" you on the comments (here) , then, when I saw your age, I just. felt. bad. (it's called a conscience)
      It was never an insult. You are young! That's all! Wish I could be insulted with my youth! lol!

      FairiesDragons pulled off most of her rants to me.
      She then "blocked" me from a public Flickr group.

      She felt attacked (although I reached out nicely in a private email)
      which she turned around , somehow, as a personal attack on her "youth".

      As we "age", I do think we realize the ones who bug us the most? The qualities in others that "make" us the most angry and upset? Those are the quatlities in ourselves we are at war with.

      That young lady is fighting a private war.

      Peace to you all.

      (I do appreciate CPIPHOTO on this comment section- who strongly disagrees with me. The two of us reached out to one another, privately, and found we had more in common than not! That's all we can look for- common ground. Thought I was doing that with ...never mind. )

      Let me get this right. THIS IS A QUOTE: As we "age", I do think we realize the ones who bug us the most? The qualities in others that "make" us the most angry and upset? Those are the quatlities in ourselves we are at war with.

      A democrat, liberal, social leftist etc. thinks qualities in a person are the ability to use other people's money to meet their own agendas.

      A conservative on the other hand knows what's best for his or her money. GO CAPITALISM! Who'll pay for our welfare state when all of the hard working, intelligent thinking, God fearing, charitable people are greened out of their jobs or are taxed to death. I don't think I could survive on $12.00 a month like B.O.s brother.

      Oh yah, The God fearing conservatives that always seem to end up playing footsie in airport restrooms or sending text messages to under
      age assistants on capitol hill. Conservatism is a movement of intollerance and outdated ideas.

    6. porchlife 45 months ago

      That's the exception, Barney Frank is the rule! Fearing God and obeying Him is two different things. Even the devil fears God. But then, you don't believe anyway.

    7. Blue States 45 months ago

      I'm only quoting you.

    8. Globetoppers 45 months ago

      STOP saying "we" don't believe in GOD just because we don't agree with your antiquated ideas! Enough!

      WSI anyone?
      Or are ALL these Bush (actual real) evidences of corruption and amorality also an exception?

    10. cplphoto 45 months ago

      NEITHER repub or dem politicians have ANY fricken morals...PERIOD! BOTH sides have their complete scum bags so arguing about who did what and who is worse than the other is a pathetic and useless arguement.

      The most disturbing thing about this admin is that they are not hiding who they are. Makes me wonder what the hell is wrong with so many in this country that voted for these freaks. Oh wait, NO one voted for any of these stinking Czars!!! The absolute and complete collapse of our current system is not far off.

      I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

      For the thousands killed in an illegal amoral war; for the past 8 years the majority of us endured; for 9/11- I FEARED the Bush Presidency.

      So. welcome to amerika!
