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.

I have to say that I would hate to think I was offending anyone I consider a friend, as it is I have never viewed my opinions about the vote. But if I could have voted, I would have voted for Kerry! And I was shocked and stunned that Bush got voted back in. I think of him in much the same way as the majority of Europe, although he came across as a lot more intelligent in the election debates than I would have thought previously I still do not think he is the right man for the job, and I hope that you can respect that as my opinion because its said in honesty and I don't like to lie to a friend even if it might unintentionally hurt them.
It’s not like I think all people that voted for him are stupid as you clearly prove the point they aren't just that I do not agree with many of his policies and it surprises me that so many people do! I also deeply dislike the way he advertises himself as a messenger from god as I believe that religion and politics shouldn't mix in such a blatant way and am pleased they don't here. I can say I wish Kerry had won I thought his policies showed more merit, but since he didn't I can only accept what is reality rather than dwell on what might have been and hope that it will be better second time round. I know that you probably don’t agree with me but then this is unfortunately one of those times where we will have to agree to disagree. Barbara xx
