6. Spineless? Are you joking?
Edited on Fri Sep-17-10 10:55 PM by RandomThoughts
I am not saying spineless, I am saying stand up to them with education and focused passion, with better ideas and even reason.

Not nasty attacks.

I fight against spinelessness as much as anyone, it takes far more spine to stand against an enemy without using violence to intimidate.

Weakness, are you insane? It is only weakness if you think being strong is based on your ability to do wrong.


Getting tough does not mean you have to be violent or mean, just be honest and point out what they are doing.



You are confusing courage with meanness. Courage does not have a moral component and can be part of good or bad. A pacifist, or someone like Gandhi had far more courage then any violent person.


Or would you let your fear of losing an election turn you into a mean person? Sounds pretty spineless.
