    I just wanted to apologize to all my friends here regardless of how you vote. It was not my intention to come here and start trouble. I feel like I have turned friends against friends, and that makes me feel bad.

    And special thanks to my friend Bruce. You know what I mean by that. :)

    I meant no disrespect.

    And now, I would like to dedicate a song to you all:

    Abner - I'm sorry that you feel badly but I can't see that you've done anything wrong. I can't imagine anyone being better liked than you on this board. People have been getting into debates/fights regarding politics for thousands of years. If anyone has behaved badly that is their own responsibility, not yours. Maybe if the IT elves ever come to update our site they will leave out the Political forum altogether. That might be best. Please be consoled that there are many who are glad you're with us.

    The election has been very divisive - nationwide and family-wide - and not just here. It has broken apart families. For example, an adult brother-in-law has forbid two of his adult siblings from visiting or socializing with him and his wife because they all voted for Trump. He said to his dissenting family members, "You're all dead to me now." He also engaged in name calling and lodging horrible false allegations that have no basis in reality. He basically had a mental meltdown. He went off the deep end. When masked anti-Trump rioters are shown on TV insanely destroying property and physically punching or beating others, some of us are not surprised because the insanity hits close to home. True story.

    That seems far more dramatic than necessary, man. There's all sorts of arguing around here, but it stays in its box.

    No need for any apology Abner, we're all mature enough here to not take things to heart.

    DegreeInfo can be a contact sport (especially the Political section), but I know that I for one don't take anything personally, and I'm sure everyone else feels the same.

    At least I hope they do..... :biggrin:

    People ACTUALLY get their feeling hurt over this stuff? What a bunch of pussies.


    Abner, we may differ politically some but share a lot more in common than to ever let a stupid thing like "politics" get in the way.


    No, actually never, any worries on my part. No hard feelings either.

    Listening to one's elders

    For years, my father has been telling me not to get worked up over politics. He says that politicians/Presidents come and go, and that the world still keeps turning. At the at age of 51, I have come to realize that it is best to listen to one's elders. :smile: There are more important things in life, like spending time with your family.

    In other news, I have decided buy a newer lighter version of the 38 my uncle left me. It's called a 38 bodyguard special something or other. I don't even know what brand it is, but it felt good in my hands. I feel like a dinosaur when I go to the shooting range with my old school service revolver, and all the younger fellas have their sweet modern looking guns. I'll take my NRA buddy Craig with me when I buy it so he can tell me what brand is better. Funny story. He handed me this gun, that kind of looks like a Dirty Harry gun, only bigger. He said it weighs 5 pounds when fully loaded. I shot that thing, and it almost blew me off my fucking feet! WAY to big for me! Geez

    But I digress. Life goes by in the blink of an eye. So hold your family members tight, and love and cherish them. The most important things in life are free. :smile:

    Perhaps I should clarify my statement. My apologies were meant towards everyone except a certain individual. I hope I made myself absolutely clear when I told him he is not to speak to me. I have no desire to associate with such a man. I say that with absolute certainty.
