I am MORE than open to discussing opposing views I work in a research lab with hundreds of PhD's from the finest universities on the planet (Russia, Germany and France included) and have had many long and in-depth discussions during this election season - these talks actually convinced two scientists (one from China and one from Taiwan) to register and vote FOR THE 1st TIME IN THEIR LIFE. They both voted for Arnold here in California AND BUSH.
Also my mom, dad and both of my brothers are all democrats so I grew up having "open-minded" discussions with people that hold opposing views.
As for your response to my post - I TOTALLY disagree with your take on what http://www.werenotsorry.com/ is doing. It is a site in response to http://www.sorryeverybody.com/.
http://www.sorryeverybody.com/ states in the front page - and I quote:
"Some of us hopefully most of us are trying to understand and appreciate the effect our recent election will have on you, the citizens of the rest of the world. As our so-called leaders redouble their efforts to screw you over, please remember that some of us hopefully most of us are truly, truly sorry. And we'll say we're sorry, even on the behalf of the ones who aren't."
And you want me to consider these blame-America-first low lifes as patriotic fellow citizens?
You say, "Don't mistake the distaste that other person has for an idea for distaste for the country."
I don't "mistake" it for anything other than what it is, propaganda that gives aid and comfort to our enemies in time of war.
You can look up the 14th Amendment: Rights of Citizenship (Ratified July 9, 1868) section 3 and see for yourself what the Founding Fathers had to say about that.
