Well first off, I'm sorry you took offense or assumed I was attacking you. Go back and look at what I posted. I wasn't sure if you were being serious or being sarcastic. I then proceeded to follow up with a question afterwards about recent Middle East history just in case you were seriously asking.
No problem, I just felt disrespected. I certainly do not want to debate you, I have nothing to prove.
But allow me to explain.
I will probably get off the politics thread, I get to upset with people attacking each other because of not agreeing with them. It seems we have many agendas dividing us right now, and we should be more aware of that and more sensitive to each other.
And, honestly I'm very sensitive around the 4th of July. For what it stands for, plus the fireworks bring back bad memories and spark more nightmares that I live with off and on throughout my life. You would have to been in the Vietnam war to understand the trauma and after affects. The warrior that the Army and war instilled in me comes out sometime. I guess it has to escape, so when I am accused of being someone that I am not, or my integrity is attacked I will defend it strongly.
I'm not a hero or I never ask for anything special, just only respect. You can call me ugly,, fat, old man, redneck, hillbilly or about anything and I will laugh it off. So, I think we should all be careful of everyone else's feelings, they may have just been someone that fought for your rights, or helped save someone in your family their life. ALL FEELINGS MATTER...
You do not owe me an apology, you did that. Sorry this is so long but thought that I owed you an apology and an explanation.
