You need to lighten up and not take everything as the end of the world. People will disagree with you and challenge your thinking. (Sorry, but it's true). Try not to feel it's the end of the world. Try to respond with something better than "Oh, I'm offended". It doesn't wear well.

Your right and I am conservative from now on. I will not try to be the peace maker anymore. The pinko liberals can defend themselves from now on.
