The other thread (which has been locked) had several people with differing opinions, and while we may not have been making much headway, I believe that talking with people who disagree with you is a great way to grow as a person. I took nothing personally in that thread, and was enjoying hearing dissenting opinions. There's no need to re-hash all that was said, and I'm not trying to open the discussion again. Thanks to those who took the time to reply and put their thoughts out there for the rest of us (whether we agreed or not).
People who can't act like grown-ups and decent human beings are the reason we can't have intelligent conversations in this country.
I stand up for my beliefs and enter into civil conversation with other people. I must be a coward.
I can voice my opinions without resorting to name-calling. I must be an idiot.
To those who disagreed with me, I'd be glad to sit down and have a beer one of these days and talk face to face about any of the stuff we were discussing. I'm a man who speaks his mind in person as well as online. If you're ever passing through Knoxville and wanna grab a beer and have a talk, let me know.![]()
It's too bad the thread was locked due to the irrational behavior of some.
