Rants...

This is a rant - if you don't like rants or have your feathers ruffled easily then don't read on.


Presidential Candidates and people with a political agenda - this rant is mostly directed at you.

What drives me crazy about you is your complete lack of the ability to have a discussion.  A discussion would require you to see the value of the other person's point of view.  A discussion would require both people to have a say in the matter. A discussion requires that you don't call the other person "stupid" or "wrong" because they don't agree with you. Many of you don't have discussions, you have tantrums! Serious reverting back to the terrible twos tantrums!!  You belittle and berate your opponents (People who have these "discussions" that aren't political candidates often see the person they are having a discussion with as their opponent - because they are right and the other is wrong.).  Rather than allowing your integrity to speak for itself - the fact that you are using this tactic to many says that you are doing this because you have no integrity to speak of.

Integrity is a word that has lost value in our culture.  Integrity gets in the way of "getting ahead".  Integrity gets in the way of "making people see your way".  Integrity is not "good for business".  Well, lack of conversational integrity in "discussions" may cause the person you are talking to to throw you out in the snow and lock you outside - even if they love you.  Especially if they love you and think that you need to cool off before you talk to them again.
