[nabs-l] DSB meeting, a waste of time!

Well, Joshua, last thing I'll say. If someone pushes me to join a group that 
I won't join, I ignore that and change the subject; if that does not work, I 
aggressively tell them no and to leave me alone. You will find many people 
in life whom you don't agree with; live with it. I had Muslims at George 
mason university, GMU, say I should  be a muslim because Islam was the best 
way. I reject that because I'm a christian so I  listened for a while and 
then said no and just said something like "I need to get onto class now. 
Nice meeting you, but I already have a strong faith different than yours."
That doesn't mean GMU is a bad school though or that GMU endorses ISLAM 
because a few vocal muslim students were out there.
So this analogy is very flawed you draw.

Ashley

I was just upset that he ogressively tried to force ACB down my throat.
At one time, I was in agreement with the accessible currency that they
wanted, but when I researched it, I wanted nothing to do with it.
The guy just kept ramming it down our throats, and I was glad to have
left after my 4 weeks were up.
Blessings, Joshua
