I'm not as "nice" as other people in our peace group.
I'm a lot more assertive and a lot more abusive toward Republicans and fundies. I quit a class called "From Violence to Wholeness" because it sounded like a bunch of hooey. I'm not a violent person, but I haven't sworn to lead a life of nonviolence, either. It sounds too much like another type of dogma and I'm sick of dogma.

The mindset here and on AAR seems more angry than the people in our group. They're much older than I am, too, for the most part.

I just don't like the feeling of being judged...feels weird.

1. I am not judging you and I agree a peaceful solution is always the best
but sometimes somebodys ass needs kicked.

2. Hey! Even Jesus Had To Kick Some Ass...
...for dishonoring His Father's House. But Jesus taught us "Judge not, or you'll be judged...with the same measure you mete..."

3. I'm not nice either. And I'm older. Oh well.
I'm getting less tolerant of bs as I get older, and am getting more judgemental but don't like being judged. Of course, I apologize more readily than I used to if I'm wrong. Whatever, sorry, onward.

4. Zero BS Tolerance
Me too! The older I get.
I only wish I had zero bs tolerance when I was younger...
