I would like to give Sunshine benefit of doubt. Instead of reacting negatively and removing her from your friend's list, you could have tried to understand her stance and circumstances. But this is my personal opinion. I am not being judgemental about you or her. I really appriciate your liberal outlook and sensitive nature.<BR/><BR/>Preeti PGypcywomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256464657191927097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9403471.post-1142176489693208672006-03-12T18:14:00.000+03:002006-03-12T18:14:00.000+03:00hi ashish a v poignant blog.hi ashish a v poignant blog.fidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15768777654175737188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9403471.post-1141453156214366802006-03-04T09:19:00.000+03:002006-03-04T09:19:00.000+03:00I suppose, shocked and hurt would best describe my...I suppose, shocked and hurt would best describe my reaction but - if truth be told - it was 'fear' that someone jsut like me could have views such as the ones Sunshine expressed.Ashish Gordehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105222512599129308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9403471.post-1141442852778509262006-03-04T06:27:00.000+03:002006-03-04T06:27:00.000+03:00its not just racism that upsets...i think most peo...its not just racism that upsets...<BR/>i think most people tend to think tht their friends/family think the same way they do... even if they don't. <BR/>i was also shocked recently when i heard a close friend proclaiming that homosexuality was natural and its well that it is banned... <BR/>guess you felt the same with sunshine...<BR/>shocked. and in some way... hurt ?AWYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05517366623363744229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9403471.post-1140869908415593032006-02-25T15:18:00.000+03:002006-02-25T15:18:00.000+03:00Thanks for your comment and I am glad you are in a...Thanks for your comment and I am glad you are in agreement about the views expressed...
