according to 90% of the posts on my flist today, i'm stupid or i suck. all righty then. i'll try to remember that.

here's a tip, just because someone doesn't share the same views that you do does not mean that they are a bad person. differences is what makes the world go 'round. if we were all the same this would be a very boring world. certainly not one i'd want to live in.

quite frankly i am offended by some of the posts i've seen from people i consider friends. if Kerry had won, i would not be calling the people who voted for him stupid. i would wonder why they voted for him since i never understood his appeal. other than him being "anyone but Bush" for a lot of people. BUT i would never have insulted my friends that voted for him.

just food for thought.

Hon, with all due respect -- your candidate won, theirs didn't. Try and cut them a little slack for today. It's not like they have hidden their opinions for the past several months, and this has been, at least from my perspective, a very emotional and hard fought campaign. Politics can bring out very vehement responses, and I don't think that you should take what is being said too personally.

Hope you are feeling better everyday, btw.

there are plenty of ways for people to express their opinion without resorting to namecalling people who voted differently than they did. all that shows to me is their character. i'm mindful enough to know that there are plenty of people on my flist who were voting differently than i and i never would have treated them the way i am being treated right now.

you know that old saying "with friends like these who needs enemies"? that's kind of how i feel right now.

That is how I feel also
