Reply #129: I don't consider myself short-sighted

[Kipepeo]

Just busy. :D

I don't have time to waste myself on assholes. There is not enough of me to go around! ;) (I'm kidding you know...partially).

But really, listen, I know what you're saying...and I used to feel that way too. You know: get to know people, see what else they have to offer, maybe find out why they are so misguided, maybe help explain what a liberal is and tear down their misconception...but I am just tired of it. I don't have time to be your teacher or your funny debating partner from the other side of the fence, or your token liberal friend. I don't want to hear your rationalization for voting for that madman in office. (I'm using "you" in the general plural sense here; I'm not talking about you).

Politics is EVERYthing to me...maybe to others that is taking it too seriously, but I don't know how else to take it. :shrug: What I mean is, some people interpret the world through religion, meaning everything that happens somehow relates back to their religion and they see their religion not only as a means of explaining the world, but as a tool for saving it. Others interpret the world through politics. Some probably use both.

Edited to add, just as a side note after reading the conversation above: I don't hate all Republicans. I hate all Bush-voters. There is a difference. And even then, there is one I don't feel hate for and that is my dad. I had to give him a pass. He's immediate family. :) My extended family on the other hand...you can have them.
