The polite police.....actually a great term....

I can understand that everyone has different view points. Its what makes us humans an awesome species. It makes the world go around...and at times VERY INTERESTING.

But what gets me spun up is how those view points get put into words. As pointed out to me many times, life isnt a bed of roses...well DUH!! I am 44, i SOOOOOOOO get that....my life story could be a Lifetime movie. But with that being said, being polite and stating your view point in nonthreatening way would go alot farther then coming across harsh and mean spirited. I like to give back handed compliments...the kind that may go over the persons head, but after they think about it for a moment or two...they say to themselves....what?! Oooh, but at least it made them think. Jumping down ones throat and all of that doesnt get very far with most people and instead of jumping in the mix, its easier to just walk away.

Many times I reread the post. Reading it once and the replying can get one in a lot of trouble...misinterrputed.....so to speak....
