but even with a larger community, things CAN be handled better. Seriously...just in watching what has been going on, certain viewpoints get wiped off the board while others who go WAY out of line, are left up.

Some of the conversations from 2 years ago would get silly, some would get argumentative, but sometimes in this country, you needed that, just to know you were still alive and not buried in the sand up to your neck. heck..even Airsupply would get everyone's blood pressure up for a few minutes..then everyone would laugh it off, consider where/who it was coming from, hope he got back on his medications, and we'd all go on with life.

Nowdays..seems you can't say what is on your mind without someone jumping down your throat and telling you you are wrong even before the words are OUT of your mouth. Some religions are ok to get bashed but say a word about another one(even innocently) and you are cursed up one side and down the other. Intolerance is just wrong...and its not worth the effort to deal with it when you don't have to.

Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.
