No, I do not think that this is a sensitive topic that deserves to be treated with sugary tact. In other words, I think that this is NOT a sensitive topic that deserves to be treated with sugary tact. I hope I have made it clear that I do not believe this topic to be sensitive, or worthy of treatment from a standpoint of sugary tact. GEEZ! ... Well, I've said it many times BEFORE, too. How many times does it take?
No, no, no... shut that trap and listen first. I am NOT talking about a universal doctrine that should dictate the way EVERYONE feels. Only me....
Wait, wait... just a minute. One more thing. Before you make another statement with the phrase "you need to" or "you should" in it. I live in AMERICA. Let me give you an idea of what it's like to live here (spiritually as well as physically). Talk is cheap, because it's *free*.
Have you EVER, in your life, even ONCE said the words "I believe in free speech, and tolerance of differences in opinion?" If you have, then shame on you. Just hope that anyone who heard you say that does NOT read what you're writing here.
The answer to your next question is "Yes, I've heard what you have to say many times before, from many people."
I'm hard-driving on these bulletin boards because it thrills me to get my mind out, and, believe it or not, I await your red-faced responses with enthusiasm.
I'm actually SMILING right now; can you believe it? No, I'm not insulted. I enjoy this sort of buggering too much. I'm stimulated and elevated. I love this stuff.
These damn depressives deserve to hear from a no-nonsense radical at least ONCE in their lives... even if they liken the memory to an encounter with the devil....
...See ya later!
