Let us be peaceful together and call ourselves friends. I do not wish to argue, or have anger against you, @kn1936zr. We will never agree.
@graybill Good point re vietnam. Can't argue that. But look how people also came together. That's an important history lesson.
Alas, here is where you and I part ways @kn1936zr. I love my brother. And his longtime companion, too. We are all children of god.
Yes, @kn1936zr. More personal: Do you hate me because I'm a Jew? And my brother, despite being a wonderful human, because he is gay?
@GeekGrly They didn't give ME extra points so no ;) I think it has to do with yin/yang relations. Joy is not possible without suffering.
@graybill We have become such a cold country. So stoic and harsh. I grew up in the 60s and 70s, a far more optimistic time.
@GeekGrly clinical depressives are often joyous people. It's profoundly confusing and makes perfect sense at the same time.
@segebee of course since I work for Opera, you know we have many, many Nigerian users. So there's a natural relationship there as it is.
@SOCMusic I really am more concerned with those of us who are trying to walk upright and feel constantly slammed down by stupidity and greed
Actually @kn1936zr, I'm not sure I can go by what you say after reading your comment about Hitler and gays. I am a Jew, my brother is gay.

@kn1936zr Okay, tell me. I read this in the news and have heard from Nigerian friends also. But you are there, I am not. Tell me your story.
@rongillmore Can you bottle that restful stuff and send it my way? Cuz the Prozac apparently isn't cutting it ;)

@Vivdora awwww, that's awesome! Hugs back and you know it means true happiness to me to have such wonderful friends 'round the world.
@csunwebmaster @SandiWassmer @MarkWassmer Oh yes, you do know that Sandi is me and I her, right? ;)
@graybill Indeed. And given these economic and unstable times, it's even more critical that we take care to be kind. Golden rule.
@rongillmore seems a lot of us are feeling the strain of the world's absurdity of late. Hard for we of empathy and a conscience, ya know?

@SOCMusic absurd, out of bounds, surreal, and totally fucked are some descriptors that come to mind.
@GeekGrly It's no fun :( It's always an edge I walk, even after 40 years of therapy and medication. And I'm a joyous human by nature!
@segebee Yes, I have read that Nigeria's economy and life quality is on the upswing. After so many years of trouble, this is such good news.
