7:30 in the morning i see. did you sleep?Yes, I was done at post #24, when you weren't answering the question. Just continue to believe whatever you need to believe to get on with your day.
I'm sorry that I made the wrong assumption about your post.Thanks for asking - slept like a baby, which you predicted.
Mango, this is one of the sites that came up. You don't find some of these just ridiculous? Height challenged? residentially flexible? In my book it's short & homeless. I appreciate your views and i'm fairly certain that you and SB are smarter and have been exposed to a wider array of education than i have. I'll say it again...I'd rather be real to myself and others. If i'm not, then i'm not me. I'm not mean-spirited. I'm respectful, but i'm also cautious as to what i'll fall for and some of this stuff, i just ain't fallin' for. I treat everyone I meet the same. Anyone who wants to call me politically incorrect is welcome to do so. It's not going to change who i am. I admire and appreciate everyone for saying what they think here. Seeing other opinions and views makes me a better person and probably a little smarter.

SSB -- Thank You for a most interesting thread... and your very thoughtful posts. I'm so with ya gull!!!
further ... I'm so glad Bob & Lynnie made up.
Snipe-fests disturb my harmonic balance, pushing me to the brink of PUBLIC political incorrectness.

"Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

I really don't give being politically correct much thought, I do try my best to be politely correct to everyone and mostly instead of labeling someone black, Africian American, Latino, Mexican,............I simply call them by their name.
I do think many worry more about it than those that might be affected by it. I have a wonderful neighbor that is very good about putting things in the right perspective, he said once, 'I am not an African-American, heck I am not even sure where Africa is on the map and without my readers, I would not even be able to see it, I am black I guess in color compared to those lighter than me, but basically I am just plain ole' Joe Davis."
My Mexican neighbors would not appreciate being called Latinos either, in fact that might get one in a fight. They are from Mexico and very proud of that.
So I avoid lables of all kinds, much safer that way and unless your street is as diverse as mine, all races, all religions, ages and politics and much more, you really have not lived it.
