The hair on fire comment was a JOKE!!! I would never wish harm on anyone, it was a JOKE!!! I don't like Hillary, but is was a JOKE!!!

Did I mention...it was a JOKE???

Rare? I like that. It's better than weird, ya know?

I think I've got it...it was a joke.

Well Dianne, technically you can be rare and weird....

And that, too, was a JOKE!!! ((HUGS))

I should have said "one can be rare and weird".

Like me.

Bluebird,
I forgot to tell you I worked as a Clinical SW at Broward General Hsp. in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. for the most part years ago. Also, in mental health in California, Illinois and Florida. As I said, I get around! Yes, I would vote for Hillary or Condolessa Rice.

Vi... thank you for speaking up, for what it's worth, i agree 100 percent. The lifes of thousands are now being destroyed or have been destroyed because of certain decisions made by those with power and out of harm's way. Whether the decisions taken were right or wrong is worth discussing, but maybe on a different thread.
(JJ... thanks for the pm, but to tell the truth, i was livid when i seen the discussion go to such a low ebb)... do i dare post this ? ... well i will anyway.......

Norma,
You may post anything you like. That is what this board is about. Just like the other women may choose to do.

The fact that they decided to use humor to diffuse a potentially harmful discussion which was going bad, is a tribute to them, and this board. I hate that you felt what some intended, and that was for you to be livid.

Did you really think that everyone was going to agree on this subject? Of course they weren't. And, as has been in the past in here, and will be so again, anytime you discuss politics or religion, you are going to have disagreements. You have your beliefs, and others have theirs.

No one holds the monopology on feelings around here, or holds the monopology on what's right, wrong, or held sacred. Some of these women making light of the situation have lost love ones to war, but yet, they still find the courage to move on, and yes, post some light bantering.

Before anybody post, think about this... what is your motivation? Is it to stir things up? Is it to really have a good old fashion debate? Is it to hurt someone's feelings, or draw people out? Or is it to push your own beliefs down someone else's throat (not saying you did or have)? What exactly IS your motivation? Ask yourself that question.

And if it is anything but out of friendship, sharing or caring, or just to inform, then don't do it.

If this makes you livid, then so be it.

JJ

When I originally posted this question I honestly thought it would stir up some good, intelligent debate. It has.

I truthfully had no idea so many people have such strong, negative feelings about Hillary Clinton.

How are we to know what is going to upset some folks and not others? Should we avoid all subjects of politics or religion? It would seem petty and dull to do so in my own opinion.

There are a lot more interesting things to discuss than politics. That's for sure!

Personally, I haven't seen one politian, Republican or Democrat that is 100% perfect. For us to get all upset defending any of them and arguing with our sisters over them is very silly in my humble opinion.

Dull? I never found BWS dull when we weren't fighting. Has anyone else?

There are plenty of political forums out there where people can discuss politics, my vote is that we don't need it in here. It only causes hard feelings.

JJ i also agree with your above posting... i should have said i was livid because some things seemed below the belt comments..... but i also could have been wrong in that thought..... i stand corrected......
