The last day of 2011 is here and in a few short hours, 2012 will be ushered in on the east coast of the United States.
I am wishing all of you a very happy and prosperous New Year, and that goes for all of you who are like minded, and those who oppose what I say about the issues. Just because we may agree or disagree on politics and religion does not mean that we cannot be civil to each other.
I often comment on a certain news site which is a part of my ISP and honestly at times what people say leaves one wondering if we live in the same country. Surely we can disagree, but then comes the name calling, and that needs to be seriously curtailed. While we can bicker on issues, name calling does nothing for ones argument and if anything, it lessens your credibility when you cannot back up your argument and resort to calling people stupid or morons, or worse.
As we look back and see what we have said and done, ask yourself if the comments you made about others helped promote your view or just made you look small and petty. If you don't like yourself for your actions, it's not too late to change.
Am I asking you to stand down? No, but stand up for your cause with dignity, and try to have facts that back your argument. I had one person once ask me for facts that proved what the Qu'ran said about us "infidels." Well, I provided facts, and this person apologized, and actually became a fan.
If you become my fan, please do so because you enjoy my commentaries. I am not asking you to agree or disagree with me, but just listen to another view point. It is said that if you have 10 Jews in a room, you will get 11 opinions. The Internet works much like this, and you need to screen your sources and at times double check facts for yourself. I try to encourage people to do their own research, and I always try to do the same before posting on the blog.
Again, thanks for for stopping in from time to time.
