Thats a stupid comment. Osama stands for Islamic Militants, bent on destroying Christians. Thats all he stands for.
George Bush, whether you like it or not, officially stands for democracy and America. Maybe he's misguided, or whatever, but what he says and does, DOES represent america.
I'd much rather die for America.

Lately, you haven't been quite as intense in what you write which makes you much easier to listen to. Its hard to listen to someone that is really intense even if you do agree with them, let alone consider their point if you don't initially agree with it.
Awhile back I had the "problem" of getting really passionate about my beliefs and whenever they were challenged I'd go into attack mode. Well after 19 yrs I finally realized that because of my demeanor no one was listening to me, so what was the point.
There is a short book that provided some really helpful advice on the topic of influencing people. Its kind of corny but it has really sound logical advice. Its called "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. Check it out at your local library. Its ages old, but provides very sound, common sense advice that I always knew but failed to really grasp.

LOL, I agree with all of this. I've also read that book, or portions of it, but by the time I did, I had already realized all that on my own. I *used to feel the same way about Tech, too, sometimes he has a good argument, then completely wastes it by putting something immature or some really offensive swearing in it. No heat, I'm just saying I felt that way too. Lately he's been much better, since we had our little domestic dispute, and even by that time he had toned it way way down.
