Ok. No more personal opinions from me.
People never have liked anti-war people. I guess the majority of the world would rather make war than peace.
Maybe I just live in the wrong country. Maybe I should move to a country were people aren't all gung-ho to make war on everyone and every thing.
Any future postings I will make here will be strictly limited to satellite stuff.
Dee_Ann,
Your personal opinion and your voice is always important in this world. You cannot give that up simply because others have a different view or opinion or argue more vocally about it. You need to be strong and hold onto your convictions regarding how you feel.
You may not agree with my viewpoints and ideals and I may not agree with yours, but you have to hold your own ground no matter who disagrees with you or who you disagree with. That is the way of democracy and the best way to make society work.
I disagree often with my own sister and my own brothers, even my parents, but that does not mean that they or I ever give up. We still share Christmas together regardless, and then we debate the same things over again later with more ammunition.
Debating any subject does not mean that anyone involved is incorrect, it means that everyone involved has a passion for their own ideals and a different side of the coin to present. Neither party can be totally right or totally wrong on all issues. You simply have to be tough and strong. If you are right, your'e right, if you are wrong your're wrong. But, have a conviction and hold onto it all the way, otherwise you have nothing to hold onto but someone else's notion!
I thought that you may have felt put out, judging from your last post and I don't think you need to feel that way.
It may seem funny to you, but this site (SatelliteGuys) is a family to me and I do care about everyone here, including you. And your opinions matter, whether I or anyone else agrees with you. So, just be yourself and hold strong to your convictions. If you do, you will be well respected for your devotion to your own ideals. If you don't, everyone will just think that you gave up, and we don't want you to give up. We don't want anyone to give up, not on anything.
