Some of the nastiest, most vitriolic, hateful posters on this forum are also, in person, real nice guys. Quite fankly, honestly and candidly, I find that very frightening.

You know what? Every time a thread gets all crazy, guys are calling each other names, DemocRAT, ConservaTARD, etc. I find myself all pissed off etc, I am reminded that we ALL want the same damn thing. At least mostly so.
We want personal success despite our different ways of defining it. We love our Wives, our children more than anything. We love our dogs, cats, birds and fish. Our Porsches. We LOVE our country. We want economic health for country, state and city. Good jobs, to be healthy. We don't want ours or anybody else's sons & daughters dying in wars or on the street corner. Yet we differ on how to go about accomplishing these goals and all we can do is call each other names for espousing a different path?
It really gets me down sometimes. I want the same things you want guys but you want to knock me on my ass on the playground. You want to post insulting pictures of people I am hoping are smarter than I am at figuring a way through some of these problems.
I guess I'll never get it.
