    my two cents ...

    the reality is that without "other" opinions - this board can be a bit of a circle jerk ... i do think obama's election has helped that some as many who were on the same side now find themselves on opposite sides ... there's the so called "left" and then there's what i call the "west of left" ... :mrgreen:

    but on international topics whether it be american foreign policy, israel, etc ... there does need to be a voice representing those "other" sides ...

    the other reality is that things can be respectful and polite if there is a maturity ... it's pretty clear some of us aren't very mature ... so ... in one sense - you want to fault those people for that but at the same time - it's an internet forum and we all know those people are like that ... so, why fall for it? ... stick to the topic - people start mudslinging when either a) they have been baited or b) they don't have anything constructive to add ...

    Wow, just wow. Very nice. Go tell mommy and daddy all the bad names you are being called.

    Why the hell would you make a post to try and get the mods attention to ban anyone?

    Nice of you to chip in with your two cents worth.

    Only two of those nine comments were aimed at me.

    Why would I make a post to try and get the mods attention? Because I'm fed up with seeing everyone on the M.T being slagged and baited. Why should anyone have to put up with it?

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Yes, could if they wanted to...but I have never seen tomatoes doing that (remind me to google tomato porn when I get home), yes :twisted:

  • i don't mind disagreements or learning things from someone who holds different opinions than my own but can't we be respectful to each other?

    i try to give people the benefit of the doubt but sometimes all the hatred and name calling makes me not want to reply to certain threads.

    maybe we should have an intervention for jlew? :lol:

    though, it's not just him but as far as ratio's it's consistently more him than others.

    maybe we can hold a seminar on how to respectfully disagree
    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    maybe you can find a video on it, and then ask us a hundred times if we watched it.

    don't make it a text to movie though, someone will complain, your account will be suspended, and you will lose everything you have ever made.

    Call me any name in the book on here. I don’t care. It just makes you look like the irrational villain. I ignore it and carry on defending my opinion with class.

    i find people that don't want to post here because it's too mean... :lol:
    it's the internet, you're never going to see these people most likely ......so what?

    i certain 'p' name comes to mind. but i don't wannta be a name-caller. ;)

    Oh trust me, i feel the same as you and i try to stay above all the crap that goes on. This post below is probably the most unhappy i have been at something someone has said but i still replied respectfully. In hindsight though, now i think well, if someones low enough to call posts about the israel/palestinian conflict 'porn', just to score points, then really, that's not behaviour i need to subject myself too anymore. You can't debate rationally in situations like that. It's easy to say ignore, but how can you ignore the murder of innocent civillians being described as 'porn'.

    Anyone who wants to know what I think about America can look at ALL of my posts across the message board - not just my posts about America on the M.T as they relate to politics.

    sorry you're right. you do post alot of Israeli/Palestinian porn. but that always gets turned back to somehow being America's fault for supporting Israel
    jlew, what's with the 'porn' comment?

    i know the palestinian people are being completely fucked, but it's hardly porn.

    If you consider Byrnzie posting about ordinary Palestinian people, who have first suffered the indignity of having their land stolen from them, then endured 60 years of appalling conditions within Palestine or exile outside it, and sixty years of physical and psychological violence and oppression as being porn, then maybe you need to re think what gets you off.

    i understand.
    one of my favorite quotes comes to mind:
    Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

    some people are nasty for the sake of being nasty. can't change em. you can speak up once i believe, but then leave it alone because those people are hopeless.

    wasn't there ignore feature on here at one time?

    she makes a very good point! like in the thread about Norman Finkelstein and Allen Dershowitz you made a few comments about it being porn and us shooting our loads and busting a nut over it....instead of saying wow Finkelstein made great points and showed how Dershowitz's book was a fraud.

    maybe you could address her point from her original quote?

    ZZZZZzzzzZZZZZzzzz every few days there is a new Israel thread quoting this or that about how bad they are. and maybe rightfully so, but the level of enthusiasm from many people, including you, is outright orgasmic. seeing new evidence putting Israel in a bad light is MORE exciting then porn to you people.

    its just so funny to see people patting themselves on the back about how high and mighty they are. this is a fucking message board :roll:

    So you see no problem with this daily barrage of crap then? You think I'm equally to blame?

    "you fucking genius"

    "What the fuck is wrong with you? do you know how to read?"

    "your hate and bias is rather sickening"

    "what sucks is the bias and human scum that troll this board."

    "you left wing bias is un fucking real."

    "you feel like quite the badass what you get to freely talk shit don't you? message boards are you little outlet to act like a tough guy. cuz in real life you are 5'7 140 pds right?"

    "I'm sad for people like you."


    "not shocking you have nothing to say. do you enjoy being embarrassed like this?"


    "too bad you've fully exposed your disgusting self."


    "you have taken being a crybaby to a new level. I am so embarrassed for you. makes me cringe."



    Did you even read the OP? I asked why it is that someone can be banned for six weeks merely for responding to certain individuals, while these same individuals get away with posting this shit on a daily basis.
    So far no one has answered my question.

    why, pray tell, do you spend so much time here?
    So many of your insults are directed at the board in general, and the people that frequent it.....
    Do you have some kind of complex in which you feel you're saving us from ourselves or something?
    If you feel there is so much human scum trolling the place....why stick around? cause you think our reactions to you are funny? Isn't that textbook 'trolling'?

    not everyone that comes to this board has been doing so for years. Not everyone is familiar with internet interaction....and we're NOT all adults. Do you think 'cyber-bullying' is just some made-up, trendy social affliction with no consequence?
    the comment I made was that people just don't want to bother getting pissed off about someone calling them names over their opinions....yes, it's just a message board...and that's exactly why people will say 'fuck it, it's not worth posting there' if they know there is a good chance they'll end up in a name calling battle that might get them pissed in real life...If you're above that, good for you...not everyone is.

    Some Interesting thoughts here on the subject of banning that Ahnimus created just before he was banned for life: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=75394
    Ahnimus wrote:
    At this point, I really don't care much. If it wasn't for say, you, Jeanie, Byrnzie, Abook, El_Kabong and the others around here that can have a reasoned debate. Shit, I mean even rargh-rargh-brownstar and I had a spat but worked it out through PM's. So we are good. But some of these jokers like Jlew and Last Exodus, they are allowed to just poison this place by calling everyone Nazis and Anti-American. I keep getting repeatedly banned for little things while they continue to spread their bullshit.

    So at this point, I'm really not caring about this forum. This isn't a Pearl Jam forum, this is Jlew's forum and people that think like him.

    Find another hobby. Read a good book. Make a new friend in the real world.

    I think we're all on the same page...if it gets you upset, don't come here.
    Therein lies the rub, no? It's insults and antagonism that takes away from the fun of the place. There are people that don't come here because they dont' think it's fun to be insulted and provoked every time they hit 'submit'....which takes away from the discussion and makes the place less fun for those that don't get upset over it. That's all I'm trying to say in all that high n mighty babbling ;)
