I hope somehow I was not one that "spit" I have been taking a kinder tact, with the reasonable ones here, even if I disagree. Nah, you've been as sweet as a field of daisies for quite a while now. Then again, I have been rather absent for a couple of months, but I'll take your word for it. <img src="htt
Terrorism is alive and well including in Iraq. As is this one! Show the proof or find something else to harp on. What, do you want us to prove you wrong again? Really...terrorism is alive and well is a lie...hmm...its kinda weird that GW keeps talking about it then, doesn't it?
It appears I've spurned a debate about tone. Smashing. However, it appears that the focus has been diverted to tone from what the actual problem is: No one appreciates being personally attacked for voicing a certain belief and/or opinion. The problem that people all too often have, and which I dare say has popped up again, is that they confuse opinio
Well why not toss out Thomas Jefferson while we're at it. He had slaves. Sheesh, the political correctness stench around here is getting quite repugnant. Make your own list of politically correct heroes if you want. I see there's no defense of Ray Kroc or Stephen Spielberg...probably cuz the choices a
The misunderstanding stemmed from your choice to make inferrences which, in this case, were mistaken. They're obviously not irrelevant if they are what makes you appear petty and childish. If you just tell me what they are, this could all be let go. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center
Either the person is intentionally failing to see the point (being intentionally obtuse), or they are incapable of seeing the point. Why they are incapable is irrelevant. You chose to read "stupid" into that. Telling my what you meant by "incapable of seeing the point" would go a long way towards ending
And no, I wasn't calling you those things, I was pointing out that you were acting like people who are those things, which is a lot less then I generally expect from you. Sorry that I hold you to an unreasonable standard. Yeah, and you know I'm not buying that excuse from you all anymore. Maybe the firs
I'd just like to point out how civil the conservatives among us are being in this debate. The same ones that don't resort to childish and out-of-context techniques like name-calling. Lets see, so far I'm a lying, stereotyping secularist bigot, and being purposely stupid or just stupid. I gotta give it to Baker, at least his was creative. Mason tried to spice things up by using the word "obtuse," which Baker picked up on in a heartbeat (props for "obfus
Stephen King? Ray Kroc? One writes mediocre novels and the other started McDonalds. Why not put James Patterson and the creepy king from the BK commercials on here too? And as long as we're kicking out Lindbergh for the anti-semitism, how bout getting Henry Ford too? And even if we don't, MLK should be higher than him.
They had a gay-lesbian kiss-off in front of a Disney Store in St Louis that I was unlucky enough to witness. They showed up en masse and proceeded to lock lips and dry hump each other right in front of the store's entrance, causing horrified parents to take little Suzie's hand and march her firmly in the opposite direction.Is the
Why continue to perpetuate the lie about Spongebob? Because it sounds funny? Is your argument so weak that you have to lie to prop it up? That myth has been hashed out too many times for people to keep saying the AFA thought spongbob was gay. I mention Spongebob once in but part of a sentence. You ment
Actually they aren't condemning actions they themselves use. They aren't condemning the company for choosing to financially support a cause. They are condemning the company's choice of who they are supporting. They are condemning a company for donating money to push what they believe is an agenda...rem
Freedom works both ways. This was the point. I very explicitly said my problem was with the AFA condemning actions that they themselves use. Ok, so what exactly is wrong
So you all know the AFA, right? We all love the AFA. They're those bastions of human decency that keep hyperventilating and yelling about "traditional values" going all to hell! We remember these folks now? Good. They have a new thing going. They're boycotting Ford. For supporting gay organizations. Go to www.boycottford.com. See for yourself. Here's the ba
e point is to get the old juices flowing for me philo, you wouldn't take that away from me would ya? Not at all. They get mine flowing too, as is evidenced thusly. (Is thusly a word? I think it's a word...)
If you're talking about me...well...I think most "liberals" do their fair share of name calling as well. I don't think anyone in any political scope is guiltless of that. My point exactly. Which is why it's pointless to have articles accusing one side or another of it.
Quick question of my own: Why is it that JoeUser Conservatives carry around their Goddamn pedestals in a holster, just waiting for the opportunity to whip them out? Why is it that they can be having a civilized discussion with people of different viewpoints, but the second that someone (emphasis on the word "one", as in singular) resorts to bad debating techn
Again, if y'all can see fit to keep your personal crap off of here, that would be cool.
No, your the one who is sadly mistaken if you don't see how much has "been" done. Where did I say I didn't see what has been done? I disagreed that anyone has "bent over backwards." They haven't. Has alot been done? Yes. Bent over backwards? No. Not even close.
The statement I responded to was My point is that stereotypes are harmful, and that they need to stop. Saying they are "harmful to everyone" is a lacking answer, because they're not always harmful, at least not to all parties involved. Living in denial is not a positive alternative to living in fear. Th
I hardly see how this bit of fascetiousness adds to the argument, but ok, I'll bite. No one ever saw how "whites only" restaurants posed a danger, either. Has as "whites only" water fountain ever jumped up and killed someone? If I started a club called The Association of White Data Processors, how long do you think it would take
Phil,You get an insightful for that last statement. While we may have federal laws that "bend over backwards" (and they do; affirmative action goals are ALMOST NEVER applied in places where whites are a minority; an evaluation of NCAA recruiting statistics will show as much), the laws have only shown the truism of the old adage "
If you want to talk about America's CURRENT racism, I'd venture it is a BLACK man's construct. Unless you plan to prove that racism against Blacks and other minorities has completely disappeared, you should probably argue that it is a DUAL construct. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=cent
Harmful to whom? Everyone. Everyone who has to live in fear, which everyone now does. Whether you're afraid that someone's gonna jump you or that you will be denied opportunities or that you will be stopped by the police and questioned for walking down your block, everyone is afraid and no one is better
Separation of church and state means nothing anymore.
