Sometimes I really dislike weenie-ass people....

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

I have a group of friends and we have varying viewpoints, but about half of us support Kerry and half support bush.

We debate and sometimes it gets heated, but basically at the end of the day, everything is fine.

Well. The bush faction has decided this "divide" between us just stresses them out no end. They want to close the divide and come together and all that shit.

You know what? I don't want or need to. I'm just fine with things the way they are. I don't need to hold hands and sing Kum-bayah with people who are on the oppposite side of the fence from me socio-politically speaking.

What is this insistent need for people to just "smooth things over" and pretend there aren't any differences there when there ARE? Why can't some people just be ok with that?

Odd thing: most of the Kerry faction is fine with things the way they are. We aren't the ones whining about needing to "come together."
