33. I'm not dictating anything
I'm stating my opinion and trying to get the person to answer the main thrust of my post. My opinion was that it was stupid to have done that; it accomplished absolutely nothing constructive in my opinion.

It is one thing to sit down with somebody and hold a frank discussion about his or her political beliefs and then move on from there, but it's another to roll up to somebody on the road and say whatever before they or you drive off. That's not constructive at all, and it's just turning people off and making the country more polarized than what it necessarily has to be, especially when you simply fire a statement about them being pro-life until the day they're born, which is admittedly true for far too many folks, but I'd say that kind of delivery isn't going to win many converts.

All I seek in this country is a little reason. That's it. Is it too damn much to ask people to think? What, it's okay to ask a Repub to think, but it's not okay when I ask the same of someone here to think before doing something?

Blah, whatever. I'm not going to spend anymore time with this thread. I've gotten my point across. What you do with it is your free choice.
