I ADMIT, I'M THIN-SKINNED. SHOULD I THEREFORE STICK TO JOKE BALLOTS OR BALLOTS ABOUT INNOCUOUS SUBJECTS?

I have passionate views because I am an American who is disturbed by what's happening in my country. However, I'm also over-sensitive and it gets to me when I am insulted or slapped with labels for disagreeing with our current president.

Should I just not express my views on B&W if I'm too vulnerable to adequately take on my 'adversaries'?

Speak your mind; try to develop a thicker skin. 6

It's a shame some people can't get past the "You're either with us or against us" mentality, in discussions.

And, if you still don't think your skin can thicken, point someone out to me, PLEASE. I've got venom enough for the masses, and I get perverse joy out of spitting it.

Cath, I disagree with you. You're either with me or against me as far as the "being with or against me" attitude is concerned. =:-)=

That is a dilemma. And the right-wing bullies try to take advantage of that. They would silence everyone who doesn't buy the Bushy lies if they could.

Just remember how much bigger of a person you are than the people that insult you, mojo.

Besides ... some of us very much enjoy hearing your views!

Don't let the insulting bastards get you down, Mojo! There's room for everyone's opinions on this site.

I would say speak your mind mojo. Don't let anyone get to you because nobody on the internet really knows you anyway. Be happy and revel in your liberal views and if you think someone is picking on your views, then fight back with a bit of research and critical thought. And always, always ALWAYS don't wear any underwear :-O

it's a tough world, we all gotta develop a thick skin, for all the insults and namecalling that's going aroudn these days. I know I got more than my share of it on this site. I think it helps to get support from people who share your views when the insults get too tough to handle... I know I take comfort in knowing that I am not the only one who feels certain way about certain subjects.

Fight Back! I like what uhm_yeah said.

cranky calling people bullies, isn't that like Michael Jackson calling someone a pedophile?
by jappy on Thu Jun 16, 05 8:06pm [+]

it's certainly not a one sided thing going on here, as some of you are making it seem .
by larrynelmira on Thu Jun 16, 05 9:11pm [+]

You know, seriously, that sounds a little like a cope out. If you put something up that is easily torn apart and then get mad then yes you should stick to things that are innocuous.

Now keep in mind that I am primarily interested in silencing the opposition because I am a "rightwing nutjob".

I've been told that I am ugly , ignorant, a gay plague,stupid, you name it , they said it to me , my beliefs have been disrespected a million times I am continuously getting karma hits because of my religion , now have this fool calling himself hunter , who thinks he is in middle ages playing some immature sadistic game,

What can we do? I consider the source and move on

I left this site a few times because of things people have said about me and my opinions, but I think you told me yourself mojo to ignore those people and not let them upset me, which I am starting to do.

If people outright insult you or can't debate without name calling, it ruins their credibility, not yours mojo
by larrynelmira on Fri Jun 17, 05 5:51am [+]

people have different opinions , and if they disagree with you or me, that's their right.
I guess it comes down to the way they disagree.
by larrynelmira on Fri Jun 17, 05 6:09am [+]

^ The WAY they disagree. Good point, Larry.

Thanks for all the support, guys.
