I gotta say this pisses me off. ill be honest, john i didnt even know you were on this site until now. after reading this post though i looked at the thread that im guessing made you want to no longer be a part of the site. and again it really got me upset. this is why political threads suck. everyone has so many different views and feelings about where our country stands and where its heading. its also one of the most heated topics anyone can possibly have. which is exactly why a topic like that shouldnt be associated in a forum like this. topics such as race, politics, homosexuality, religion arent topics that should be related to a forum that is supposed to be fun and exciting. when i signed up for this forum i signed up to share my excitment and passion for not just cars, but specifically my fbody. but its not just about that. its the culture. its about the friendships that everyone has, or will have in the future that only STARTS because of our similar passion, but continues because of our basic human simularities. what people dont understand sometimes is while this may only be a simple car forum, if you think about it its more. think about all the different backrounds in terms of race, gender, sexual preference, religion, economic status, politic affiliation that everyone represents on this site. Meanwhile, we all can still enjoy our both technological and physical company without any problems. That however seems to get screwed up when topics sch as politics get brought up and people get too out of shape. There is no reason why we cant all have a mature conversation about something like this despite it being such a heated and passionate subject. i dont know, maybe im looking way too into this. maybe im dramatizing this whole thing way too much. but in a way i think even if i am then fine. because no matter what anyone feels, this gentleman has served this country and put his life on the lone to sacrafice our many freedoms. and while he obviously has different views on certain subjects, i think its very unfair to start name calling and putting someone down someone and such. especially when its someone who again has served this troubled, imperfect, yet beautiful country of ours. John, sorry we never interacted at all but i will say dispite our very different political views, thank you for your service and your sacrafice.
