46How could we all get along better together???
by Celtic inwithout being slagged off for opinions expressed, without being ridiculed often, without constant smart ass one liners and put downs, how could we given the opportunity get along better together?
not utopia, not this, not that, just a simple question in need of simple upbuilding replies that enable this place more to reflect the care for others it supposedly sets out to achieve.. any comments?.
here we go (rolling his eyes) .... peace.

Hey GDW,
Great thread! I too appreciate the way you presented this in a very non confrontational conversational manner! By addressing ideas and not personalities we are able do address the issues. lol hey you may have just set a new standard for posting
As a person who has swung to both sides of the pendelum,so to speak, I personally have found I receive a better response (or at least I just feel better myself) when I try reasoning with someone and if they don't respond then just walking away. This didn't make me feel like I was submissive or beaten down, honestly it leaves me feeling a lot better about myself and usually the other person too, because we didn't walk away from the foray both battered and brused from the verbal slams. Being civil isn't a sign of weakness as some think..
it is a sign of strength.I also don't think that someone saying "thank you" or showing appreciation for a post or a thread that meant something to THEM should be labeled as "gushing at the feet" of anyone. We all have different issues that mean more to us....we also if we are honest most likely have different posters we may enjoy reading more for our own personal reasons.

Well I wanted to say something profound here but without the first cup of coffee I find it is impossible..(like I could of come up with anything AFTER my coffee)..so I will content myself with:
Good post, Good points!
Humor has helped me thru a lot of rocky points in my life and I can certainly see the advantages of it in deprograming mind control.

Double Standards
by Norm inaftenposten writes the following in its sunday, januay 13 paper:.
similar to taleban, escapes criticism.
homesexuals are beheaded, prisceless artifacts are destroyed, women have to cover themselves up and the king rules.

Well it was my understanding that the US was focused at this time on Afghanistan and the Taleban due to the fact that they were harboring the terrorists that attacked the US and killed our citizens.
I believe the human rights issues there came to forefront in the media after the war was started.
But I agree human right violations should be addressed no matter where they occur.
