Just wanted to know.

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

I don't know you well enough to respect you as a man.

That said, I should treat you with respect until you have proved you don't deserve it.

Then I should continue to treat you with respect.

I think you are rather cool.

Posted by Lost Ashes (Member # 6745) on :

Just a little worried about your grasp on the here and now.

Thor, are you doing okay pal?

Posted by Zalmoxis (Member # 2327) on :

I guess you are okay as an American.

But I really think you should consider broadening your look. I understand that Slovenian is all the rage these days. So are most the Southeast Asian nations.

What could it hurt to try some other citizenships on and see how you look?

I mean American is so 2002.

I'll come right and say I don't respect you're posting style in regards to political threads. You make ridiculous claims and don't bother to stick around to defend those claim with either reason or facts. Since I don't know you personally I won't make any further judgements.

Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :

I make absolutely no judgments about you as a person Thor, because I don't know you. And I'm in no position to judge anyone.

I don't think less of you for holding divergent political opinions from mine - one of the great things about America is that we can both be citizens and hold such diverse views - and be able to express them.

God Bless America and God Bless You, Thor.

I like you.

sept you voted jesus for prez.

Posted by The Pixiest (Member # 1863) on :

Honestly? I don't think you're much of either one, Thor.

Posted by Boris (Member # 6935) on :

"As an American" well, all I can say is if you're an American citizen, you're an American. As a man, well, I don't know you, can't say. I'm not going to hate you for being who you are. If I did, that would make ME less of a man. So yeah, you're human. If you're on some quest to gain the hearts and souls of all men on earth, I'd say you're probably going to fail, because no one can do that.

I like Americans. Lovely people. Nearly became one a couple of years ago.

You're a man and an American? I don't know if I can forgive that... [Big Grin]

Posted by Paul Goldner (Member # 1910) on :

I don't respect very much of what you say about yourself, and I don't respect how you present your ideas... but that doesn't mean I don't respect you as a person.

What's wrong, Thor?

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

Thor, you're okay in my eyes. Your early bravado was something that I found irritating, but you've dropped that, and I appreciate it. I don't know you in person, of course, but my impression is that you're a kind person, which to me is much more important than nationality. I don't quite know what you mean by "respect [you] as a Man". Do you mean as a human being, or as a male, or what?

Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :

I completely respect you as a woman, Thor.

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

Will you still respect him in the morning though Scott? That's what I'm worried about.

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

You're a man??

prove it. [Evil]
