Dealing with Negative People
...it can be excruciatingly difficult to deal with negative people—people who bring your mood down with their pessimism, anxiety, and general sense of distrust.
...Constant exposure to such negativity can make deep inroads into your bank of positivity, leading you to either become negative—diffident, anxious, and distrustful—yourself, or to become indifferent, uncaring, or even mean towards the negative person.

...it is wise to limit or remove associations with negative people in your life. Im doing that in my life by avoiding FFFT board and all it's denizens. Ya all might want to consider whether or not they are having a positive or negative effect on your life and whether or not you choose to continue your association. Im done with them.

Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
