I'm moving this here from the map thread because it will get lost in the map thread. This is very important to me about like how you all think of me and so I think it should be in the thread where I selfishly talk about myself hahaha.
To see the full context of how all of this came about, just click on scotch's quote and that'll go back to the page on the map thread where I got to talking about my overall thoughts towards systems that rename bodies of water. I also mentioned the Eagles.... No one talks my passion for them. Hah.
Think of me as like a fucking doofus or an addict or a bad boyfriend or a dude who falls into canals, but please do not connect the shit I've posted here over the past week or so to any other part of me or my leanings.
I'm not going to get into politics, but I find it ironic that the one person on this forum who would be best to keep his opinions buried deep down - not as a kind of censorship, but just to avoid hatred and anger - is the one person begging to talk about it.
I totally understand what you're saying but it's really disturbing to me. Apparently I was not anywhere near descriptive enough when talking about my deep-seated shit if I allowed even one of you to connect that part of me to any other part of my belief system.
I don't post all the really fucking sweet shit I do because I don't feel guilty about it and don't need to vent to internet friends...If I did, I would also hope that the super nice side of me would not solely influence your overall thoughts of my beliefs.
My recent Koopland posts describe shit that I'm super ashamed and embarrassed about and I don't like talking about but Pam got it out of me and then once it started I wanted to talk about it more and the best place for me to talk about embarrassing shit is DRC because I've been doing it here for 17 years.
My thoughts about the US and most everything else are not embarrassing to me at all. I am happy to express those beliefs publicly.
