Just a few thoughts...
Not everyone is as perfect as you are, learn to live with it.

Everyone has not experienced the same experiences as you did, let them.

Life lessons are learned all throughout our lives, people learn them at different times in their lives and not in the same order.

Compassion isn't just for people who "think like I do".

Tolerance isn't just for people who "think like I do".

Honey helps catch more bees, pissing on them pisses them off.

Once again, not everyone is as perfect as you are.



*Disclaimer: "You" is a generalization.

5. No, no, I think some of what you said needed saying.
I just wanted to type something less lame than "I agree".

REAL Liberals know what's what, and aren't afraid to get up in your face and say it! Rudely! Cause that's how we Liberals roll!

8. Seriously though....
This isn't only directed at the locked thread. There were a few others I read today and many other times through the few years I have been here.

I always feel bad for people who seem to be honestly ignorant of an issue and get slammed for not knowing about it. It's easy to spot the innocent and trolls in my opinion. And even if it ends up being a troll, then oh well..

9. Oh hell yes.
But it's always the same isn't it? That accusatory crap? As if you are a failure for not already knowing what those oh-so-wise ones already know?

Put someone on the defensive for being ignorant and you stand less of a chance of ever educating them.
