I sat here this morning thinking about that. While we all sat at the console cramming each others virtues and values down each others throats none of us saw the fact that we all stood on a common ground. 2 Iranian children died, and that is a tragedy. I got a bit wound up that it SEEMED to me that it was turned solely into an issue they where gay so lets invade. I'm about as political as a lead brick but honest in my view. I whole heartedly apologize if my comentary offends the beliefs of others but I am honest enough to let you know where I stand. As to those that spoke thier mind I have no doubt that in person you would have looked me in the eye and said your piece in turn. Though I may not totally see eye to eye with your point of view I can respect it. I give more respect to a man/woman that will look me in the eye and flip me the bird than someone that will do it behind my back. So my apologies to the offended. I would gladly invite your posts and with out bashing, try to further my understanding of where your coming from.

I do not accept your apology for two reasons: 1) I don't know what you're talking about, and 2) see #1. Also try to remember that flame wars occur all the time here, and you don't need to apologize after participating in one. I never do. (I never did even as a newbie like you, but then I'm not that kind of person, as anyone who knows me can say.)

I don't accept your existance.

So your opinion is the only one that counts in the world? This wasn't even ment to be a flame but one of information to maybe kill ignorance. All the last statements do is reinforce something you should be trying to squash. It seems as long as you can force feed your opinion it's OK but let someone else see things different and try to understand, you want no part of it.

Wow, I never knew that! You learn something new every day, don't you? ;)


And a "flame war" is an informal term for a heated debate. No pun intended. Don't misunderstand it.

Oh well, at least I can say I put my best foot forward. Got it lopped off but not surprised. It was my wish something more positive would have come of this thread but nothing was allowed to be positive. You in effect have killed your own cause with me.

Please close the thread as I probably will not read it any further.
