<p>That’s her. and as I recall,she once told me that she liked debating with you because she felt that you could disagree and still respect someone who didn’t share your views. She showed me a post by you and was very troubled by it. She wanted me to read through the entire thread to see if she had said anything in particular to upset you.</p>
<p>I didn’t read through it all so I don’t know. Maybe she did. She’s a teenager.</p>
<p>Peace and enjoy the holidays:)</p>

<p>I had not connected you with fountainsiren. A very impressive young woman. You must be very proud of her. I disagree with a fair amount of her stated opinions, though sometimes she seems to enjoy playing the devil’s advocate. Anyway, she is incredibly articulate and thoughtful.</p>
<p>She’s really found her niche up at the Dartmouth Review. I smile huge internal smiles when I read her now…I knew her back in the day :)</p>
<p>Hey moot and soozie - Let’s go classify ourselves on some <em>other</em> thread :p!
All other Overlooked and Unclassifieds welcome!</p>
<p>JMMom, yeah, this is one time I don’t mind being “overlooked”! </p>
<p>I must say, Woodwork has lotsa courage to post these classifications of other posters. We all infer about other posters on here but I would have trouble posting such descriptions. In any case, I tend not to be involved in the political discussion threads so that is why I did not even know what brought on THIS thread but the subject heading was catchy so it made me open it!

<p>JmMom…I’m honored to be in your group of “others” or “unclassified” Unclassifieds UNITE ! What should our “symbol/mascot” and “motto” be?</p>
<p>Man, I am so much more clueless than usual . . . </p>
<p>And that’s saying something.</p>
<p>I think this is the part where anyone who avoids political discussions runs away and gets into the hot tubs in the spa behind Sinner’s Alley and hooks up the IV scotch…</p>
<p>I’ve never actually gone into SA – just lurked. Now may definitely be the time!</p>
<p>HOT TUB at Sinner’s Alley?! I’m on my way!</p>
<p>the iv scotch ( why would you want it in an IV- then you can’t taste it!)
reminds me of david lettermans latest stunt
hooking up a tube of coffee from the starbucks accross the street.</p>
<p>The tangents that different threads throw off really do crack me up… for Soozievt and Jmmom to be “unclassified” has put a smile on my tired face this evening…</p>
<p>certainly it is not for lack of posting…I got a jolt of reality once though when I realized that an innocent posting about drinking in college brought out all sorts of virulent replies…that was when I realized I don’t have enough time in the day, or enough focus to stay on point with political discussions on CC…replies can be too random and I have realized I am not paying enough attention to “traits” over time. Perhaps this is where a higher reading retention SAT score would come in handy? </p>
<p>Plus, I prefer the more supportive threads…helpful threads…ones where I am learning from the reading…not just drawing blood!! </p>
<p>Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone as ED decisions are arriving… makes typing a bit more tedious!!</p>
<p>Yes, maineparent, I do think it is avoidance of the Drawing Blood threads which keeps us Unclassified. Certainly not un-prolific :o.</p>
<p>Funding Father — the first peace vigil I organized was to protest the bombing of Kosov. I get so tired of hearing that no one protested Clinton’s wars – not true. We even had front page news coverage (granted this was a small town in middle America, but still).</p>
<p>my3girls, congratulations for an element of consistency. You are in the tiny minority. But, let me guess … you voted for Al Gore who was a supporter of those wars.</p>
<p>I’ll join the cc “unclassified”. That’s the best place to be!</p>
<p>FF – you’d guess wrong. But, I figured out long ago that no political candidate would perfectly represent all my values, I’m just too far out of the mainstream!</p>
<p>I am unclassified, too; guess my daughter was right when she told the Swarthmore newspaper I am basically apolitical (YIKES) . . .yes, I read that on line when she was a freshman and blushed for my computer . . .</p>
<p>Justanothermom :)</p>
<p>Well, we have embrassed secular humanism in our family…my oldest was searching for what to “label” herself, because so many were asking, well, WHAT are you…this philosophy best fits us…</p>
<p>Yes, I am back…</p>
<p>Hello everybody!!</p>
<p>and fundingfather, my my my…</p>
<p>attack all that old history while our chicken hawks got all their deferments…if you can defend them doing NOTHING during wars, then maybe just maybe you have a right to say what others have not done…</p>
