I gave you the sense in which I was using the term, to demonstrate that I was not meaning it in the usual political sense.
But, your post just made my point for me; it bothers you that two individuals made an individual decision that has nothing to do with you or anyone else and will not affect you or any other person, so you attempt to disparage their decision via jejune insults and insinuations.
Perhaps you can explain why it bothers you so greatly that they did something outside of the normalcy of the collective.
Amazing that so many people are angry about this.
“Perhaps you can explain why it bothers you so greatly that they did something outside of the normalcy of the collective.”
You’re really hung up on that word “collective” aren’t you. Did you come from a socialist country? They (the non-kissers) don’t bother me in the least. That doesn’t stop me from expressing an opinion of their actions. It is a free country, isn’t it, or at least until Obama gets his meathooks on it. I think they are not the norm, and I think they may be grandstanding, and I hope no one emulates their “non-kiss” policy. It’s ridiculous, IMO, and it is in my opinion, an extreme, and borders on zealotry. But then again, I am probably speaking to another zealot here.
