Chilly Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 So much hate, and so little understanding. Hmmm, I am simply trying to portray a positive upbeat message, and this is how I get treated. As for me, I am accepting of people from all walks of life. If you are filled with hate and anger, I only hope that you will soon find some level of happiness. Always remember.....Don't be a hater.....Love the Creator 243457[/snapback] If you aren't filled with hate, anger, and are accepting of all people, why do you advocate "peace through strength"? This is essentially translated "peace through forcing our way on people" - or if you prefer - "peace through war". If you are accepting and understanding of people from all walks of life, I didn't know that would be necessary.
Rich in Ohio Posted February 18, 2005 Author Posted February 18, 2005 Wow, truely unbelievable. I come on here with a positive story of a person with a positive atitude and look what happens. I guess I simply expected too much. Apparantly, this forum is more prone to hate speech and persoanl attacks then I ever imagined. A sad day indeed. Just look how many posters on here have leveled personal attacks, and made jokes and worse. I ask why.......why is it that there is so much mean behavior here? Truely a sorry state of affairs. However, I am optimistic that good will always prevail. I am sure that there is goodness in all of the posters here, even those who seem to enjoy the mean attacks that they have laid at my feet. I will not give up hope that they will somehow, someday see the error of their way, and at some point begin to spread kindness hope within the pages of these threads. I would like to thank everyone who participated in this thread. It is only thru your involvement that we can make a true and fair evaluation. Please keep up the good works that you are doing.

Thanks for the enlightenment. 244462[/snapback] I am not sure that spreading love is my mission. Just kindness, and understanding. Pretty simple actually. You do not have to love someone to understand them. Just listen, and respect them. It is really simple when you allow yourself to be open minded and free.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Does that apply even if they are gay and want to get married? 244473[/snapback] Q: Are YOU gay and want to get married? Because this topic seems to overwhelm you.
Rich in Ohio Posted February 18, 2005 Author Posted February 18, 2005 Does that apply even if they are gay and want to get married? 244473[/snapback] Gay people are Gods children too. I am not sure exactly what your point is, or if this is yet another attempt to bring a level of meanness into the thread. In any case This is not meant to be a religious thread, it is simply a positive thread about positive attitude. Some people find that thier attitude is better when they are at peace with themselves. that all. Why is it that many on here have to make some sort of attack on someone because they themselves believe in God? Just curious.

The only thing I've been "overwhelmed" with on this board is the lack of the kindness, understanding, respect, and acceptance you are now espousing toward gay people, particularly those who are looking to get married. No attack here, just trying to see if you really practice what you preach.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 What would lead you to conclude that? 244837[/snapback] Oh, I dunno...the obsessive nature of your responses to threads involving the topic?
Rubes Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Oh, I dunno...the obsessive nature of your responses to threads involving the topic? 244877[/snapback] Really? I can't recall more than a handful of times I've ever participated in such discussions on PPP. I'm not really sure what constitutes "obsessive" to you, although if it's what it seems to be, then I suppose most people here are "obsessive" and "overwhelmed" about a great many things in this world.

Rubes Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Hey! 244929[/snapback] Whoops, I mean, most people except for Darin.
nobody Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Maybe we have been transported to Bizarro PPP?
Rich in Ohio Posted February 19, 2005 Author Posted February 19, 2005 Maybe we have been transported to Bizarro PPP? 245168[/snapback] Can't we all just get along? Why does there always have to be so much back and forth in all of these posts? people should just accept the fact that gay people want to be married to. They are people just like everyone else, and we should not stand in the way of their wishes. In fact we should encourgae them to share in the same type of loving relationship that other couples share. Is that really so difficult?

While the governments of our two fine countries may have some differences, that is no reason for the people of these countries to not get along. I say viva la france and have a nice day.
