I appologize

for getting worked up on the whole health care and taxes issue. I am going to take a break from the boards for awhile to cool off!

Re: I appologize

  • Don't be ridiculous! You're just voicing your opinion. You have reasons you feel differently than others and that's ok. It's not like you personally attacked anyone.
  • I don't think you said anything offensive!  No need to take a break.  You just stated your opinions and they are valid - just like the other posters.  Heck, democracy wouldn't really amount to much if no one ever voiced their beliefs!
  • I don't think you said anything wrong.  In fact I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said.  I have kept my mouth shut because I feel VERY strongly about this.  I have been wanting a national healthcare system for YEARS and think that its about time something has been done.  I think that you expressed your views without coming across negatively (which I'm afraid I would do).  Don't take a break from the boards, we would miss you!

  • I agree.  I don't think you came across as rude.  You were stating your opinion which we are all entitled to do.  Please don't leave the boards.

    There is nothing wrong with stating an opinion. Please don't leave the boards.

  • Never EVER apologize for what you believe in!  If other people have an issue with your opinions then as far as I'm concerned, that's their problem not yours.  

  • I thought we all did very well actually!  Compared to the craziness I saw on FB about all of it (38 comments on one person's status update!), I'm quite proud of us for stating our opinions in a very adult way.

  • Seriously, Becky? Why?

    We all come from varying backgrounds that make up our experiences and viewpoints which makes for interesting dialogue and debate- heck, as a grad student YOU should know that!

    You kept it civil (as did everyone) so I see no need to apologize or step back. Stick around and keep talking...after all, people need some distraction in their workday! ;)

     

  • You should never apologize for sharing your opinion! That's your right! And I never thought you were being mean or anything like that.

    I'm sorry if you felt like I was personally attacking you, I definitely was not trying to. We just have different view points, and personally I liked that you kept the rebuttal going. I hate it when I make a point and then the other person just backs down. Where's the fun in that?

    Honestly, my trust in the government is so incredibly low there is no way you could ever make me see things your way. I'm sorry, but that's the truth. It's not you, it's me. (too corny?) Stick out tongue

  • haha - I just meant for like a few hours or so, not for good! But thanks for your concern!!

    This whole health care thing is crazy - but I suppose any topic so major is going to cause craziness. 

    edited to add: I work in an office all day - lately generating tons of data tables...I need boards like this so can't stay away too long ;)
