[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Junctionfan I really am a great person to be around if you ever meet me in person. I may sound like a pompous, arrogant ***; but I'm really fun to be around. Andrew [/quote] And that opinion is the popular concensus of how many people? Are you sure it's fun for other people to be around you, or have you perhaps simply found it to be fun to be around other people, criticising their beliefs, and merely assumed the feeling is mutual? Granted, I have not read all of your posts, but some that I have read where you have been in , shall we say an "excited" frame of referance, have included your telling others how they are supposed to think, which in and of itself,...is a insult... Perhaps the insults you've been subjected to are ones where the other party is responding to perceived insults you've unloaded on them? That's something to think about, anyway. From vague recollection, I have perceived you seem to have a "leftist" slant, which is not at all uncommon from Canadians. Canada has national healthcare, and a raft of other policies that are decidedly more socialist than found in the USA. Which is fine. You folks are your country up there, and SHOULD have the right to tailor social policy any way that suits you. And you can argue why you feel that POLICY is superior, or why you feel our POLICY might be wrong, till the cows come home, it's all fine and good, as HEALTHY debate. But, when you start questioning the rightness or wrongness of peoples reasons to feel differently than you, with (example) phrases such as "I don't see how YOU can...." is it any big surprise that they take such comments PERSONALLY? In a nutshell, if you tell me how I'm supposed to believe, and that happens to be different from how I happen to believe....you HAVE IN FACT just insulted me, for calling to question my right to make my own conclusions, based upon my own experiances.. Now let me be clear, you have NEVER done so to me in discussion, so I'm not picking ANY bone with you..."we" have no problems. I'm merely throwing this out from a neutral corner, as something you may wi***o consider. There is a big difference between telling someone why you think their beliefs are wrong, and telling them they are wrong for thinking that way. The former is just a matter of opinion, while the latter is presumptuous of some form of authority to make their decisions for them.... Just something to think about...[8D]
