How Conservative is Conservative?

We've dispensed with the silly accusations and nonsense before. Pay no heed to trolls and bombthrowers.

That's why I didn't comment on the comment that was directed at one of my comments. Er something like that. Not worth the effort and not worthy of a response.

Besides, it's gorgeous day with the snow on the ground and a few of the trees that haven't dropped their leaves yet. Come January though, I'm not going to be singing the same tune.

Hmm, I have a couple of gay relatives here who are alive and well and relatively happy. I know they have attended ballgames and not been roasted.

I've found that the people who are most adamant about you being open minded are very closed minded themselves. To them, open mindedness just means that you should forget your beliefs and accept theirs. They also tend to take most anecdotes, hearsay, and rumors as fact.

No thanks. I'll stick with my true open mind.

Maybe Moiaussi had a bad experienced that tarnished all experiences to follow! I've been reading LOTS of posts this past week since we may be sent to CO in the next couple months when my husband finishes air traffic control school. I have to say the negative experiences in CO seem to be few and far between! Please take them with a grain of salt. No place is perfect and no matter where you look there's going to be SOMEONE who didn't like it there.
