Well everyone, thanks for the greetings. Now I'll be riding off into the sunset again. I'll pop in in another 4 years!

God bless all of you!

I know that I'm a relative newcomer compared to you, but in my time here, I don't ever recall you as being combative. Hope you're well. And I agree, live and let live is a lot less stressful, sometimes.

I really enjoy being around animals. My sister lives in an area with zebras and elks, so it's real nice to go see her. Sometimes they even come up to her yard.

I'm a real softy when it's comes to animals. I cry over the smallest animal's death. If I had to hunt for my food, I would definitely be a vegetarian.

I did miss you. Zebras and elks, how cool. Where is your sister?

Hey, '80s, how's it going

?

I still like getting involved in debates myself, but I can see where it's not for everyone, or where people get exhausted by it (the latter can certainly happen to me sometimes, especially if you're just reiterating the same stuff over and over again). And the "to each their own" philosophy is indeed one to follow, it's generally how I tend to feel, too. I did enjoy talking to you when you were here, though, and hope you do stop back in again from time to time, be it to discuss politics or music or whatever else fits your fancy (somehow doubt I'll see you in the PLEBA forum, though

).

Have a lovely Thanksgiving! Good to see you again!

Angela

Thanks. With most of the people, I could handle myself. I just really clashed with a couple. And with one of those, I was ashamed at how I acted - I did the whole "everyone's against the conservative American" tantrum. Self-victimization is a good way to elevate tension, but not pretty. But oh well, none of us are perfect. I'm more peaceful from having faced my shame and learned my lesson.

She lives in a gated community that had Zebras, elks, deers, etc. brought in. It's pretty cool to see all those animals running around. The first time I visited, a huge elk crossed the road in front of me, stopped right in front of my car, stared at me and took one of the longest pees I have ever seen. I think he was letting me know he was marking his territory.

Thanks very much for the kind words. I liked chatting with you, as well.

Yeah, I might pop back in the proper forums when new U2 albums hit. But you're right, not PLEBA.

Hey 80s

A lot of people mix it up in here a bit. It is no big deal.

I hope I am one that has changed a bit, I hope living a few more years I have learned a little more.

Anyways, I have thought about you a couple of times, I am glad to hear you are doing well. All the best to you.

Hi Deep, good to talk to you again.

Though I sometimes joke that I know all the important stuff, I think that once we stop learning, we might as well stop existing.

80s 80s 80s-

Nothing has changed here, it appears that ppl have only become more entrenched.
I try and stay out.

See John 1:5.

Keep your sanity and stay out.

Hi 80's I hope life has been good to you. I am too busy in the real world to spend much time researching and debating. Life is good, and I am glad to see you poke your head in.

Peace

Moonlit_Angel · 11-17-2010, 11:34 PM

Ooh. Dread's here, too. Hey, Dread

!

LOL, cool, '80s, I'll see you in the album forums when possible, then. You're welcome. It's nice to see some old names show up again around here.

Hello, hello. I remember you, most certainly. I'd say that not too much has changed here, although I think it's a lot more civil now than it was then.

As for me, though, I'm now a disillusioned centrist who seems to vacillate between centre-left (in idealism) and centre-right (in philosophy), so I find I don't have much to talk about anymore. Oh and I'm also Canadian now, so I tend to spell things funny too.

Take care, and all the best.

Hi Diamond, good to see ya again, old Bud.

I have been much more sane since I stopped arguing politics. Believe me, I'm gonna keep it that way!

Thanks very much. It's good to see your head pop in on my head-popping thread.

I'm glad things are going well for you. You and I got along fine, and I'm sure we still would.
