    well if you could harbor bad feelings for people just because they do not share a certain opinion as you, then YOU are the one who is flawed, BTW, The gap in the poll is slowly closing,,, Just sayin.

    Just because you don't agree with someone does not make them (or you) wrong, it just means you disagree.
    It used to drive me nuts with what some of the folks who were political opposite of me said. Then I got to thinking about it. Part of the reason I stayed in the AF and live in America is that I enjoy the freedoms we have (and defending those freedoms). One of those freedoms is to disagree. Besides, the world would be a pretty boring place if everyone agreed with my point of view.
    I still think that shooting a bear in it's den is NOT something that I would normally do (just not how I was raised). I also realize that some folks don't agree with that. (And bring up some VERY valid points as to why they feel that way). It does not really change my mind about what I would do, but it does help me to understand and appreciate why someone would chose to hunt a bear in it's den.

    LOL How do you think I feel? I can see points on both sides of this, as well as some contradictions. Straddling the fence can "get your panties in a wad" too!

    Sure Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

    Nah...I disagree. Sometimes I want to choke you and just shake you by the collar, because of your thoughts being so different than mine......but that doesn't mean that I don't like you. Heck, I don't want any real harm to come to you, even if you are a pig headed, stubborn, wrong most of the time, pain in my.....

    I did not say I did like the people who disagree with me, however if I agreed with them I would be wrong too.

    It's all good.

    I would be curious what the demographics are of the poll respondents? and what the demographics of the poll respondents where they grew up? I'm presuming we are all grown up but some of us may be to old to grow up. Lol

    I live in a rural area and I grew up in a rural area.

    Rural By birth and raising. Cosmopolitan when Uncle Sammy took me away from home...well some anyway. A mixture since then, but mostly Rural. I never have liked Big Cities much...except for Nashville and Dallas. Which are Kind of Rural cities now that I think of it.
