Let's get this clear out of the way first, shall we? I try not to mix personal feelings in a debate, this is one. Two, I haven't really known you well to get 'nasty' with you. And three is you haven't crossed any personal line for me to get 'nasty' with you. According to these three reasons I do not see why I'm behaving the way you said I am.

My post was about Bill Gates and how he does charities. You were talking about actors wanted to do politics. How are my post and yours connected? Where was the point that you agreed with me? Enlighten me because I think I've missed it :? .

tikay wrote:are you trying to say that actors should stay away from politics?

This is exactly what I was saying in my previous post.

tikay wrote:Even if some have failed others may do a great job...just like anyone else. Would you like to be told to stay away from politics?

I would gladly take the hike if I knew nothing in something and still tried to stick my nose in it.

tikay wrote:Bill Gates is big money, actors are big money...it is all connected.

Well, it could be conntected; however, for years Bill Gates haven't shown any sign that he's interested in politics. All we know for sure is he's interested in computer. Anything that is related to computer. Even when he does something for charity, people still think he does it to clear his reputation in the computer field.

tikay wrote:We may not like the ridiculous way it looks when actors and even so called "wrestlers" like Jesse Ventura become our politicians but political arena is full of clowns anyway who sell out their morals for money...in the long run.

Politicians are different kinda clowns. They went to their clown schoold and did their clowny things before being in office. Just look at any politician's background and you'll see half of his life has been involved with politics. Actors, on the other hand, only discuss about politics. It's a big difference there.

tikay wrote: If you are being mean to me just ask me to leave your post and I will gladly get lost. (with no hard feelings LT)

You are being too sensitive. I believe I have not insulted you in any way. Well, I've checked my previous post three times, so I'm 100% sure I have not. If you continue to stay here long enough, you would know there are a lot of members at this board do not like the way I talk. Some of them talk behind my back. Some of them say it to my face and then leave. Whatever. I do not give a d**n. They can say it straight to my face they hate me and wish me dead, but my answer to them will forever be, "So?" Why should you care what others think of you if you know you have not done anything wrong? :?

You are so angry...
I meant to say that it IS connected...if you knew anything about money or politics you would see it is SO very very connected and giving to charities IS political and a move to keep ones money away from the IRS and make a political statement so Bill Gates is in effect making his political statement on the way the money should be spent and on what programs....etc. sorry if I pushed your buttons.
I just want to know why you made me feel like a dope...i know what i am talking about .

Ok, let's step back and see what I wrote to you, shall we?
This is what I wrote,

LennyeTran wrote: :? Hmmmm... are you answering my post? It's because I don't see it has anything to do with my post. I was not talking about politics, and whether Bill Gates could be involved in politics or not.

Those two bold parts right there. The first one is a question following with a confusing smiley. The second one is "I don't see," which is a personal opinion.

And then,

LennyeTran wrote:My post was about Bill Gates and how he does charities. You were talking about actors wanted to do politics. How are my post and yours connected? Where was the point that you agreed with me? Enlighten me because I think I've missed it :? .

Another question that goes along with a confusing smiley. If you think you know what you are talking about, then you should enlighten me. Once again I repeat myself clear and loud to you and to any of you out there, I do not hide any mockery in my posts. When I ask a question, it's a question. I'm not here to embarrass anyone; I'm here to share and discuss information. Do not cross my personal boundaries and I won't cross yours. It's as simple as that.

Anyway, if you sit down and think about it, you would realize I could have just asked you a question and it could have been good enough; I didn't have to make any personal opinion about whether actors should be involved in politics or not. However, I did give you what I thought about this issue. You took it wrong; you thought I was getting 'nasty' with you. Whatever, man. I'm done with explaining myself. You can think whatever you want, okay. You're too uptight.

I was raised by hippy's. Check out my people.
try thefarm.org or stephen gaskins farm...in search engine of your choice...then you can call me a dirty hippy too.
I am not upset, just "tripping" on you a little bit.

tikay wrote:You now call me uptight...great. I want to leave you with two things.
One: I was raised by the loosest people in the world so i am very open minded and no one who knows me calls me too uptight...more like too relaxed and too easy going...thus I try to begin to defend myself, which ironically results in accusations in the opposite direction...so ...life is funny that way, sometimes you cant please anyone.
Two: we live on a planet....where to some of us...especially the beat generation,everything is connected! SO...I found some proof for you since you asked.
(see) http://joliestar.com/index.html
P.S> Aren't you forgetting the angry face you made, the one that connotates & = "mad" in the smileys? You said it yourself there. Maybe you are the one who is being uptight here.

Fine, if this is what you say you are, then to me you're a forum-virgin. This :x smiley was for Anorld Schwarzenegger, the idiot who bought people to vote for him, not for you. Now I understand why you said I was getting 'nasty' with you. Oh gosh....

I am a virgin....

just kidding!
Do you think we can be friends now?
I would like that.

if you would like to see just how wierd I truly am you can try my profile in amazon...the wish lists are my lazy way of creating (mostly books) guides for everyone who wants to know where I am coming from. peace.
T.K.Faleofa in the search engine will get you to me.
(the great self-promoter) thought it was creative...my poll.

arnold s....one of the silliest thinks since jesse ventura and reagan.

Sure, why not....

Lennye, please don't get angry so many times, it's not good for your health, and for others' eyes which have to read so much.

I also like Gates and Jolie and Pitt, not that I'm interested in them, but they are very successful.

Okay now hold your horses, excuse me? EXCUSE ME? EXCUSE ME? Do you frigging know what you are talking about here? It was a misunderstanding between my posts and Tikay's. I was not angry at her, but right now I am angry at you. Who the heck do you think you are that you have the frigging right to tell me how to feel? Please do not talk to me if you try to stir some arguments here, so I will get kicked out, okay. I know what you have been trying to do. This is the last message I have for you with this issue. I said it publicly so everyone can know and judge it themselves.

wow now I realise what a serious side there is to our posts...or that there can be and of course even though I came here to get over my too serious side at times it is going to come up for anyone who is being honest. Thanks for being that about what you were thinking LT I think maybe you are very smart and probably want your topics to be taken seriously for what you are saying. Maybe you were on the track of just talking about Bill gates and I went off....somewhere else, and you were offended. For this I was planning to say sorry, so that I am, I apologise if I did upset you that was not what i meant to do. also i apologise if I am not suppose to just jump in to any topic...I am new and thought that was how it worked. Yesterday I looked at a topic where the banter was between you and (apparent pals) ...your friends , and I was chagrined...it made me think maybe I have been doing this all wrong (being the "virgin" to the forum) and I felt swayed...so even though it was interesting and I would have maybe jumped in, just like I would 'ave at school....walk up to a bunch of near strangers and listen to the conversation, usually in the smoking area, and eventually, if they were my kind of prople, I would add my input.
That is just how I thought it was in here. There is more to it I think, now. Thanks for the nuance...the knowledge of this.
I think I will be more careful. You have been on my mind. i hope you are feeling better about our (small) conflict because I am.
sorry :( for the trouble I am at times...I was confused :?

It was not your fault, Tikay. Don't worry about this. This is not the first time he's given this ~ to me. It's BS, I tell you. I do not need anyone come to me and say all the ~ about my health and ~ or try to be calm or not being angry at someone when I wasn't angry at that peson in the first place. It's BS, you know. It's a work of someone who tries to stir some problem. To be frank, the act is cheap. I'm not associated with cheap deeds.

I was going to stay out of that post between you and Admiral so I was only talking about the posts between you and me. sometimes I do know when to keep out of things. (for about a minute)
peace my friend :)
I am in class...so not so long winded...haha. test tonight on dang legal research. bye 4 now.
