Reply #73: But why is that admirable??? [View All]

Seriously.... I want to know....

I just don't all get this "She's a fighter! Isn't that special!" stuff Why is it so wonderful to fight, especially when it seems she is fighting just for the sake of fighting. Isn't working things out a better option? Saving the fight for when there is no other option? Knowing when to reserve one's stregth or change one's tactics?

You know, I deal with pre-schoolers who have special needs. We have one little guy with some serious emotional issues... the kid's a fighter all right, and it's one of the saddest things you'll ever see. Unless there is a serious and miraculous change in this little guy's make-up he will be one unhappy fella for the rest of his life. Lately Hillary is reminding me a lot of him.

Part of being an adult is knowing when to give up.
