[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 404332, member: 1944"] I think its great that we can share thoughts and vote how we decide. But I got called a racist by a co-worker, a newbie, just barely old enough to vote. I knew who he supported, and still treated him the same even tho we are diametrically different in thought, I think hes a decent kid. But he asked me, and I said "Uh no, I dont support Obama, I support McCain. And the first thing out of his mouth was, "why because Obama is black?" I found it quite distasteful, the way he follwed and attacked me for the 20 minutes of my return to building time til leave the building in my own vehicle time. Not that I was scared of him, nothing like that just kinda annoying. Voting is personal. While we debate our views and thoughts, I dont need anyones approval to decide for myself. I finally told the kid after he basically said I knew nothing of news and he pulled out his phone to pull up websites to convince me how dumb I was. I told him I had been voting longer than hes been alive, and I watched news when there were three channels and no cell phones. And as I pulled my McCain sign out from under the gun rack, and behind my seat, and waved goodbye to another day, I thought, Wow that was quite enlightening. I saw no thought process, no chance to exchange views, just a constant diatribe of "another four yrs, no Wmds, GWS War" My mind got numb..desperation because I wouldnt vote for a black man, who isnt really black, that makes me a racist. I wonder what class in the fine institution he attends taught him those lines verbatim. [/QUOTE]
