Some paragraph breaks in this article would be great. I stopped reading after the second lineRead More because it's too hard to read. I bet there's some good information here that people are checking out of reading due to the layout. :)

Regardless of whether or not they're the same person, I think if that's the biggest challengeRead More they've ever faced in life they've pretty much cruised through life. I mean, seriously, your biggest challenge is not understanding that not everyone agrees with your opinions? I would think it's a given that everyone has a right to their own opinions without feeling overwhelmed and challenged by that fact.

Mike B. and myself are not the same person, even though we do seem to think alike on most issuesRead More discussed here. Freedom of speech and thought are good things, and sometimes can be provocative. We should all exercise these rights while we still have them. BTW, I have not "cruised" through life unscathed. Nobody has.

The question in this article is "What's the biggest challenge you've had to overcome? You'reRead More all jumping in with political comments that really, as you just admitted are NOT the biggest challlenge you have overcome. You just wanted to turn this into a "Let's bash everyone who doesn't share our belief system". Nobody really cares about your political views. Answer the question honestly or stay out of the discussion. Truly, the first person who answered that the biggest obstical he has had to overcome was realizing that everyone has a right to their own opinion and this frustrates him, he's led a VERY sheltered life. If he's frustrated about the politics in this country he could a) move to another country or b) get involved in politics iin a constructive way to bring about the changes he wants or c) shut his yap because nobody really cares that he is tantruming about not getting everyone to step in line behiind him.
