Happily, I haven’t really had to have any ‘difficult conversations’ if you mean ‘awkward conversations’ instead of ‘trying to talk on a cell phone while there are firetruck sirens on your end of the conversation and 20,000 screaming sports fans on you friend’s end’.
Now, the bonus questions:
1 - Nothing in particular... I’m not thinking clearly now either though.
2 - A cat, since I’m laid-back and like lying in the warm sun and doing nothing.
3 - I’m not cheering for anyone in the playoffs, but that’s because I’m a Sabres fan.
4 - It seems to be more of a liberal idea, but pretty much everyone in the world could use to pick up on it. Trying to boil things down to side A versus side B always causes lots of trouble, and usually winds up making things even more complicated cause then you’ve got to try to fit everything into A or B, and everything doesn’t fit nicely into one or the other, so then you get into arguments just defining A and B, and the original issue gets pretty much lost at that point. So if nothing else, it’s an inconvenient way to try to argue.
I'm sorry about the Sabres. It's frustrating when your team doesn't make it to the playoffs.
I think most people on first thought would agree that not becoming embroiled in the "right versus wrong" is a liberal idea. I also think that the liberals have created that impression through marketing rather than through truth. In reality, they seem pretty intent on having their way only. They just try to define the argument so that conservatives appear to be building all of the walls.
