Raygun- His-story that we shouldn't forget
Deborah:
Oh please, don't project your idealistic, polyanna views onto others. What, you can't be honest for six weeks, six months, six years, never- because he died?
Let me say it myself. He hurt many people. He was a stool pigeon. His policies sucked. For those who suffered under Reagan he's as evil as Hitler.
As for the self deprecating humor and infectious patriotism- his ability to act made him an even better politican. And perhaps he was indirectly encouraging/ challenging you to change the status quo. Ever thought of that? How are you leading your generation? How have you changed the world?

You call me idealistic. This is true in one form of the definition - someone who aspires to or lives in accordance with high standards or principles.(I do alot of aspiring to) I was simply disgusted at what you posted about someone who just died. I didn't tell you to do anything or to wait a certain ammount of time before you post something about a dead person. Obviously you can do whatever you want. I was just stating my opinion.
Deborah:
Bullshit. [Hey Ginger, could we have a steaming pile of bullshit emotocon?}
Your comment was more than an opinion. You didn't state an opinion about the topic-Reagan, you placed a value judgment on me and what I chose to post and when I chose to post it. You evaluated me with your personal values. You can't even be honest about that?
I also aspire to live in accordance with high standards or principles. At the top of the list is being honest. I'm not going to pretend to respect someone or remain silent about the attrocities they committed just because s/he dies. While at the same time, out of respect for the grieving, I won't be screaming through a bullhorn outside his funeral. On second thought.... :lol:
In case you're still confused. I didn't like the SOB- have no respect, appreciation or admiration for him. His death doesn't change that, nor does your need for me to be nice.

Wow. Your really mad. Sorry if I offended you. I really did not put that much thought into it. I saw what you posted and wrote the first thing that came to my mind. I am really not that invested. :wave:

Personally, I think it's obvious Deborah is in the minority as far as the Ray-Gun bashing goes, except for maybe one person who appears to hate the guy more than she does and is making a total ass out of himself on national televison claiming RR is turning a nice shade of crispy brown (as in burning in hell). Oh well, the schmuck got his 15 minutes of fame, now didn't he?
:rofl:
