WHAT IS MEANT BY "FRIENDSHIP" IN USA?

Fellas, I am here!......I simply didn't want to be in the way.......

You all take very good care of yourselves .

You are a well-mannered, genuine lady.  Nevertheless, this is your thread, so speak your mind. 

I am certain that you have "...a few interesting things to discuss and suggestions to make"  and we would enjoy reading them.

Discourse at RWD?  It is not the same as the superficial chats with Americans in your city.     Which is worse?  Sometimes RWD people make comments that they would never say to someone's face.  Don't get upset unless it becomes a trend.  You adequately defended your husband.

Then maybe this is best left for Americans then, yes?

I wasn't discussing the merits of the legislation, nor was that my question.

I knew what the result would be when I asked, so, I have my answer.

Then why bother asking anything if your opinion of me had been already formed?  To expose to the world how utterly illogical/ full of BS I am, based on your guesses about the sources I used to write my posts?

[Boethius]

My opinion of you as a person is not formed, BF.  I have nothing against you, nor do I know you, so how can I form an opinion?  That would be illogical.

On the particular issue, I always give individuals the benefit of the doubt.  It's only fair.

Then why is it so hard believe that one can read the bill, form an attitude toward it, and then take a list of talking points supporting this attitude and use them in an argument, as a better worded text?  And how exactly is it an indication of the person's (in)ability to reason?

BTW you didn't even ask any questions, as I recall.

I live in the USA.

I have a friend.

It means something to me......
