So, you didn't have the guts to use an address I could reply to privately.
Well, don't worry I'm not mad because you told me my ideas were absurd and I
have the IQ of a dead mustard plant. You are entitled to your opinion and I
know a lot of people don't agree with my reasoning regarding Bono and his
alleged drug use. What I do object to is the fact that you believe I said what
I did because I'm a female and female feel the need to "empathize" with and
"feel the pain" of all the people around them. Obviously your knowledge of
women would fit on the head of a pin and still leave room for your IQ. Let me
give you some adivice...I wouldn't go around sharing these generalizations
about women because it makes you sound as though you are about one
evolutionary step above Cro-Magnon Man. To say that I have the ideas that I
do and think the way I do because as a woman I am some sort of infinitely
compassionate creature is what's absurd here. People think differently and
react to things differently because of who they are and what they have
experienced in their lives not because they are one gender or another. How
would you react if I said men like sports because they all have violent
tendencies and lack the intelligence to pursue any other pastimes besides
sitting like a zombie in fromt of the TV, drinking beer and yelling at people
who can't hear them? Doesn't make much sense does it? You wouldn't consider
trying drugs in order to inderstand a loved one who had and , believe it or
not, neither would I but those people who would are out there whether you
believe it or not. So, have your opinion and tell everyone you meet how you
feel but don't make generalizations just because you don't understand or agree
with someone else's opinion. When you make those generalizations you come off
sounding like you have the IQ of a dead mustard plant as you so eloquently put
it.
Finally, I don't want to get into a flame war with you. If you have a
reasonable response send it to me privately so I can reply instead of taking
up space on the list with this disagreement.
