[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by dharmon</i> <br /><br />Once again, a seemingly inocuous post generates a heated discussion of personal opinions..........good or bad it happens...sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains........ <br /> <br />If you take nothing away from these forums ..........If you post the sky is blue, someone will counter....or whether EMDs are better locos than GEs, ALCOs, Baldwins, Lockheeds, Boeings, Dodges, Reeses, M&Ms or whatever, someone will counter........blame Canada, Blame the British, heck blame me... <br /> <br />Someone once said here in the forums that you can argue the basis of facts but you can't argue opinions.....Whether Reagan was a good president or a bad one is your opinion from where you sit or stand or whatever you do..........Those folks who are old enough to have been of cognizant age during his presidency have their opinions based on thier experiences, and those that aren't have theirs based on how history is written......the same can be said of Eisnehower or Kennedy or Lincoln.....though only Mook may be that old......(just kidding)..... <br /> <br />Fact he turned 93. Any disagreement? Is there cause to believe he didn't? <br />Wishing him happy birthday? Your choice. <br />Good president? Your opinion. <br /> <br />Ths has just been my opinion of course..... <br /> <br />By the way, I just caught up to the SUPERBOWLLLLL thread.....just confirms that some of y'all will argue over just about anything....... <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Well put!! Religion, Politics, sports, and sexual preferances tend to be the powderkegs in internet discussion today, where the threads run long, and progress runs nil,...Isn't it great to live in a country where we can boast of such freedom of expression? <br /> <br />And for the record (Ed) my comment was not intended to imply that I will cheat the ravages of aging, or "dodge the bullet" but rather was the celebration of those rights in the face of another member trying to tell me what i MUST do, prior to offering my opinion. Not his place, in other words.
