Heh-heh, we can trade places and both feel at home! I'm having the same convos in Jordan, vice-verse. :)
It's really getting ridiculous, let them get this over with already and herald the end of the world
This is the office war at the moment. You can't open your mouth with being verbally berated or worried someone is going to cross the "HR" line. I think the only reason we can't talk about politics anymore is because a lot of the issues cross over into religion and deep rooted personal beliefs. People don't like to hear that theirs are wrong. That and most people just don't know what they are talking about and would rather yell inconsistencies that be wrong.
Kinzi, oh so you don't go for the "I'm not going to talk about this?" route? LOL!
KJ, what are we to do...we're a pasionate bunch!
Beave, hahaha it's actually kind of funny to observe people's reactions once you put your emotions and passions aside.
lol..I hope that in all the stories when you refer to "student 2" that you are not talking about the same guy of "voting McCain..right?"
lol
