Well we have had our say and, quite honestly, I got involved for a purpose. My personal beliefs are very strong and I consider myself a very spiritual person. I also believe when it comes to power and greed many men will do what ever it takes to possess it. Recorded history is full of lies and will continue to be so until the masses finally decide they are wise enough to do their own thinking, know right from wrong and to quit worrying about how their neighbors think or believe. Individual man must finally accept responsibility for each of his actions and beliefs. We come into the world alone and will leave it alone. We would all be much better if we practiced more compassion and understanding instead of hatred and fear. The important thing, in my mind, is regardless of how and what I believe I AM NOT willing to kill for those beliefs. It really doesn't matter that we don't see everything eye to eye as, in the end, we will all get to so the rights and wrongs of our lives. So why waste our time now?
We could argue for years over any topic so what is to be gained? Wasted time, energy and emotions over what?
I would like to thank each of you who responded to this thread for remaining polite and civil. It says a lot about the type of personalities that frequent this forum.
In ending I will say everyone of us has been lied to since the day we was born. Reading between the lies might be a better past time than actually jumping on the bandwagon to follow someone else's agenda. As I have said, "Nothing is more scary than a fool who is not afraid to speak out or the sheep who are willing to follow!" Thanks guys and gals for the respect and understanding that has been shown in this thread. I will most likely delete the non-coin related replies as they are available to guests as well as members. Don't want anyone to think we are all bad!!!
