Has The Forum Change You.

Has the forum changed you?

For me there have been numerous people I have fought with, sometimes viciously. In fact, I still disagree with some people quite strongly, but in exchanging posts with them, I realize that we will all not agree. Disagreement is a spice, not a vice.

As long as we all attempt to listen and not blindly defend our preconceived ideas, this forum is a useful tool.

I want to personally give kudos to Protak, an acquired taste for me. I will still disagree with him on certain subjects, but now I can appreciate the man he is and what he stands for. I guess this same logic explains why he and Dilly Bean are friends.

I like to think of this place as a supplement to life, not the main course.

So many people from different countries and upbringing.

I have really grown in my appreciation of the effects of American foreign policy.

When I first came here, I was so baffled by how people had such hatred toward my country and such misunderstanding about what "Americans" were like.

Now, I am better able to relate and address the fact that what you think the American government is, bears little reflection on the fact that we Americans are simply people, just like you.

maybe Bush is a simple folk as well, if he were more sophisticated and open minded about the world we wouldn't be in this mess now would we?
