Just want to thank you guys

[JohnKleeb]

Only place on the board where I can be silly, know I wont be attacked for my political beliefs, and be at ease as a person of faith.

[Vektor]

1. You're welcome, Kleebsta!

You can totally be yourself here!

[JohnKleeb]

2. Thanks

Just sucks when you feel misunderstood.

[Vektor]

3. Where do you feel like an outsider?

In other DU forums?

[JohnKleeb]

4. Not totally

an outsider, sorry for the phrasing but I feel different, not persecuted for sure but different.

[JI7]

5. i know what you mean

i feel the same way about some things also.

[Vektor]

6. Me too..

Sometimes I'm afraid to offer my opinion for fear of a flame fest.

[JohnKleeb]

7. Vek thank you for the PM

Yes, I know, some of my views are like that too.

[saracat]

8. You are welcome! People should be allowed to be what they are!

There is some major nasty out there! Some people just can't let anyone else differ! But maybe I do that sometimes too! Still, one can have a bit of respect!

[foreverdem]

9. I never post in the other forums

This is the only place I will post without fearing being flamed or ganged up on. That's why you guys are so great.

10. Same for me

I came directly to this forum following a link from a Yahoo Kerry group, and I immediately felt comfortable here. You people here are wonderful! :loveya:

[whometense]

11. I'm so glad you feel that way.

It's the same for me. This place is my own coffeehouse/bar/backyard fence.

[JohnKleeb]

12. Yeah but you don't piss on graves

I know you had your issues with the pope because abortion rights to you are the most important issue to you. You also realize what this man meant to people and it seems from what Ive seen you say he meant something to you too.

[TayTay]

13. It is the ultimate in poor taste to disrepect the dead

Shows a poor upbringing as well. (If I ever did that my Mother would slap into next week. Geez, in non-violent language, she would have disowned me.)

I had severe disagreements with about 50% of what this Pope did and stood for. But may he rest and peace and may comfort come to all who mourn his passing.

[JohnKleeb]

14. I had my strong disagreements myself

but never never ever would I put him in the same boat as Reagan or Falwell, that's just wrong.

[elshiva]

15. You are welcome! Thank YOU!

And thank everybody for being kind! :grouphug:

Orioles avatar, again? hmmm...

How bout dem O's?

[JohnKleeb]

16. We are in first place

:) for one day. Starting pitching did its job for once. Yeah, I put it on last night to pick on the Yankees and BoSox fans in the lounge because as I like to say, fear the bird ya bastard.

[TayTay]

17. And a beginning of the season good luck to you to!

There is something wrong with me because the loss last night didn't really bother me that much. I actually think we will rebound. I didn't curse out the manager, or the pitcher or get all antsy while watching the game. How strange! Is this how normal people watch ball games? It's going to take some getting used to.

So, how do the O's look to ya. (No chance you are going to switch to the 'Nats, right?)

Go Sox! In Theo we trust!

[JohnKleeb]

24. Nats are my NL team, O's my main team as always

[elshiva]

21. heeheheeh!

I fear the bird alright, I fear we are going lose... :cry:

[JohnKleeb]

23. Don't worry about it yet

All we need is PTICHING which I say with a deep groan is what you need to get far.

[elshiva]

25. Still I believe in miracles.

[Siyahamba]

18. You're welcome, and I feel the same way

Even when people disagree here, they do so in an intelligent and constructive manner.

[pamela]

19. How could anyone not love you?

You're a Kerrycrat and an Orioles fan. That makes you a-ok in my book!

[JohnKleeb]

22. Its not about me on a personal level

[politicasista]

20. You're welcome

Thank you and everybody for welcoming me here. :hi:
