Clearly, this made you angry, and led you to attack me personally, and by extension, me setting the record straight
I have no idea whet you lot in life is, but at that point, you were beneath me, and I simply pointed that out
Also, just for the record, I don’t hide behind my achievements and success, I stand out in front of them, as I am proud of them, as I should be. I sense by your attempt to minimize them, and your clear resentment of them, that yours are either fewer and farther between, mor nyou value yours less then I do mine.
If you wish to tell me where you disagree with me (which you have yet to do) I would be happy to hear it, and I would, needless to say, respond with respect commiserate with that level of which you would show me

I look forward to your civil reply

I believe I have been respectful to you. I have neither attacked nor debased you. I have only "verbalized" my observations and my responses. I do not feel anger by you words but sense a conflict within yourself. Do you not sense it too? I said from the beginning that you are smart, even you know that, I say you remind me of me. I am not your enemy.

Oh, but you ARE.

You disagreed with her and had to nerve to point out that she might be uninformed. Suffer her wrath!

Not if you want to maintain self-respect.

Oh I see...so I guess I have just a too thin skin, and over react when someone tells me to I am best suited for work at the local volunteer center, becuse I dont know how to "learn"

Ohhhh..(te he he)..I am such a silly thing ! (Flips back my hair)
Like,,ummmm...what EV-ERRRRRRR !!!!
Like, ummmm....I'm going to the mall !

Please dude...if you want to kiss and make up, thats cool. Just dont packpeddle. You took a slap at me..i slapped back..lets move on

I just think that the whole "God given rights" thing is at best metophoric.

Even if you beleive the Constitution was inspired by devine providence, (which I do not, and history does not bear out either) As I recall, just about everything "God" granted was highly conditional and very revocable, how is it this these "RIGHTS" are any different ?

If there are moral absolutes, what earthly entity gets to judge which are correct and "God" like ?

For those that trust their rights to divine providence, they will have to wait to take their case to that higher court.
