Nah, your not loners. You might wish you were, but your not.
So, anyone who wishes can assign a "loner" label; I don't care. I'll take that over the herd mentality of the average person, any day. Funny, isn't it, that those who toss around a "sheeple" label for loners are the ones in the herd....and that they assume one can't be patriotic or American if they aren't part of some crowd. Well, they are wrong there, too! I am a veteran, married to another veteran, spent plenty of years working, and do for others as able, and I don't need someone's approval, or to be a doll in their "friend" collection.
Lol... Ok, now I know you're just getting #s and giggles out of all of this now. You done exposed yourself. You may be a "loner" yourself for all we know.

I promise you SpeakerofTruht and I are totally different people. He and I never ever met. And Im sure if I met him I wouldnt trust him. People who wear black leather are the opposite of what I consider to be trustworthy.

I don't like reading emails that are all broken apart. I like a solid compelling throughline. If you reformat your email Ill have another look at it, but in the meantime I'll respond to part of it.
You and I agree that humans are social animals and that those who scurry about in the shadows like cockroaches should be observed closely.
Rather than despising patriotism, it should be embracced. It is patriots that created are great country. And if you dont live in america and if you arent american you simpaly cant understand that because your not american. I feel bad for everyone who wasnt born american but I have to let it go because its not my fault.
I just hope your from the second most civilized country in the world and not russian.

Pretty much sums up my feelings. I talk to people, just not many. I haven't found many who could carry what I would consider a decent conversation, frankly. It's nothing against them per se. I'm just different.

Ha... you sound like my wife, I am much more a stereotypical loner than she is, As long as we are sitting in a good place she will literally open our home to friends in need without a second thought.
That has lead to some heated arguments over the years, but inevitably she convinces me... some folks ask how we make it work after 10 years... I just say I enjoy being around her and she makes me a better person.. .or if they are people that have annoyed me by their tone... I say her crazy fits my crazy so it works, and its funny how that last phrase seems to offend quite a few people.
