for people to come and enjoy themselves.
right. and if i don't enjoy the swearing and bickering i'm free to take my leave?
sigh. how do i know what is in a post before i read it? meadow and i agree on many things, violently disagree on others. nothing wrong with that, i often disagree with skinjob, bedford et al, but there is a point when it gets personal and that's when the whole thing falls apart.
swearing is no big deal per se. anybody can do that. like getting pregnant, a large segment of society can, but decides to refrain from it for whatever reasons.
i like variety and discussion, and many a time have agreed to disagree without any ill will. i just prefer disagreements on what i consider ADULT level, not what someone else considers ADULT level. and when i speak up, i'm being irritating, but good for me for finally having the guts to open my mouth. yay. if i say nothing, i'm a wimp.
so i can't win.
and the reason i'm still here being irritable and crabby is because i like most people here even they're irritable and crabby; it all depends how it's worded.
why don't we just go for a vote: how many of us enjoy backbiting, name calling, juvenile language, and endless me-me-me and my rights-my rights-my rights-my fucking rights!!!
Somebody's boring me. I think it's me.
