I'm going to make the world a nicer place by not calling people who disagree with me names.

You did not respond to anything I said, except to tell me that you saw no reason to continue discussing the subject because you are conservative and I'm liberal and thus "we do not see eye to eye." You were right. We do not see eye to eye and I am not going to go to the trouble of further discussing this Facebook rant which is already self-explanatory.

Instead, why don't you tell me how you plan to make the world a nicer place. By electing Sarah Palin? By abolishing the minimum wage? By denying health care to anyone but the very rich? How does that work?

It appears that you take Deb's FB piece personally. It doesn't seem fair. I brought it here without her permission and I did'n think that it would have anything to do with you or anybody on this forum. I think you should be angry with me for that and I regret what happened.

Ha ha - Ты снаешь, я писала (рантировала? lol) это после я смотрела слишком много грубых комментариев на Facebook.

Спасибо. )) У меня около 1500 друзья на Facebook. Больше всего они не близкие, а поклонники (адепты?) и я пишу так для них. Есть тоже друзя-писатели, кто тоже пишут, и я также разделяю их сообщения.

Это типо коллективное сообщество.

Понравилось в ФБ у Deborski. Спасибо, Дебочка!


“If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist



“Perhaps, if you weren't so busy regarding my shortcomings, you'd find that I do possess redeeming qualities, discreet as they may be. I notice when the sky is blue. I smile down at children. I laugh at any innocent attempt at humor. I quietly carry the burdens of others as though they were my own. And I say 'I'm sorry' when you don't. I am not without fault, but I am not without goodness either.” ― Richelle E. Goodrich




“To love a man enough to help him, you have to forfeit the warm, self-righteous glow that comes from judging.” ― Ron Hall



“All the whispering, glaring, pointing and judging makes them no better than whoever or whatever it is they're gossiping about.” ― Tiffany King



“None of us has ever seen a motive. Therefore, we don't know we can't do anything more than suspect what inspires the action of another. For this good and valid reason, we're told not to judge. Tragedy is that our attention centers on what people are not, rather than on what they are and who they might become.” ― Brennan Manning




“You can't judge people and touch their souls at the same time.” ― Tama Kieves

This reminded me of a famous quatrain by Edwin Markham (1852-1940):

"Outwitted"
He drew a circle that shut me out —
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in.

Как перепутаны? Вроде всё правильно. Равенство не всегда справедливость.
Когда миллионер платит 50% от своего дохода государству, у него отстаются сотни тысяч, а бедный после этого станет бездомным.

It might sound radical, but the tax rate of 0% for everyone would solve that problem. =))
