Had an Ex like this...could do the silent treatment for weeks ...I would have preferred to "clear the air" in a respectful tone of course...just so we could have moved on
I love to debate. It is good exercise for the brain. Only works though if the people debating are reasonable and respectful. I'd have to admit I slip sometimes, but mostly try very hard to be reasonable and respectful.
I agree...I appreciate and enjoy the opportunity when someone, especially my mate will take the time to exchange "points-of-view" with me. It's stimulating when each person respectfully shares and listens to the views of the other person. A good debate or exchange of viewpoints done in a manner to better understand, not necessarily agree, opens communication avenues which foster friendship and trust. I'm Loving It
Owned the comic where Superman gets killed and spawns 4 other Supermen. Gave it to my youngest son before I moved down here.
Used to enjoy going to the local barber shop as a kid when we lived in Portsmouth NH, he'd have a mess of comic books for the kids to read. Didn't even mind when we showed up just to read them
A little history lesson. Issues between Iran and the US didn't start during Reagan's time in the Oval Office, it was during Carter.
The Iran hostage crisis was a diplomatic crisis between Iran and the United States where 52 U.S. diplomats were held hostage for 444 days from November 4, 1979 to January 20, 1981, after a group of students took over the American embassy in support of Iran's revolution.
In Iran, the incident was seen by many as a blow against U.S. influence in Iran and its support of the recently fallen Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who had been restored to power by a CIA-funded coup in 1953 and who had recently been allowed into the United States for cancer treatment. In the United States, the hostage-taking was widely seen as an outrage violating a centuries-old principle of international law granting diplomats immunity from arrest and diplomatic compounds sovereignty in the territory of the host country they occupy.
The ordeal reached a climax when the United States military attempted a rescue operation, Operation Eagle Claw, on April 24, 1980, which resulted in an aborted mission and the deaths of eight American military men. The crisis ended with the signing of the Algiers Accords in Algeria on January 19, 1981. The hostages were formally released into United States custody the following day, just minutes after the new American president Ronald Reagan was sworn in.
In America, the crisis is thought by some political analysts to be the primary reason for U.S. President Jimmy Carter's defeat in the November 1980 presidential election. In Iran, the crisis is thought to have strengthened the prestige of the Ayatollah Khomeini and consolidated the hold of anti-Americanism and Iranian radicals who supported the hostage taking. The crisis also marked the beginning of American legal action, or sanctions, that economically separated Iran from America. Sanctions blocked all property within US jurisdiction owned by the Central Bank and Government of Iran.
