On hijacking threads

Why the hell do you boys insist on hijacking otherwise lighthearted threads to continue to hurl the same tired insults at each other that you repeat in every thread? I feel like I'm back in elementary school. "You're stupid!" "Well you're a meany!" "But he started it!!" Good God - you remind me of why I don't have kids.

To answer your 2nd question, prfctlefts, I didn't respond to your first question because I didn't want to further detract from g under p's thread. To answer your 1st question, I wouldn't have attacked you for your answer, no matter what it was, and I would have had the same reaction to anyone who did (particularly if this had been going on and on and on in every other thread as well). If you said you wanted to burn down all the abortion clinics, I would file it away under all the other assinine things I've heard you say regarding abortion and move on with my life. And if you said something about abortion to which I felt the need to respond, I would have started another thread about it... unless there were already 100 other threads about the same fucking thing.

    While were at it, it'd also be nice if people on here who are ostensibly intelligent would also take the time to carefully read people's posts and not put words into people's mouths. Seriously, this is a daily occurrence and I am pretty much a hair's breadth from just giving up on having an opinion on here. If people are not even willing to try to see someone else's perspective, there's really no point to having a discussion.

    Don't give up on having an opinion here. There are people who are willing to try to see someone else's perspective; maybe they're just not as vocal. :)

    Yep, it's like arguing with a wall. I'm all for a good discussion but since I'm anti-Obama/Pelosi it's assumed I must have voted for McCain. All three of them make me want to puke. Yet I've said it a hundred times and people still call me a right winger tea bagger. Lol.

    if you say you are going to a tea rally on tax day and brazenly brag about it, are we not supposed to think you are a teabagger?

    hmmm....I'm gonna go with the Boston Cream Supreme.
    And ya know what? I like your spelling better too. I know it's proper for us Canucks to spell ugh often....but it seems stupid to add extra letters like that. Silent letters should be banned.

    whoa! boobies!

    Freedom of speech goes both ways. If you want to say something, you're free to do so (within the forum rules, of course) but anyone else is also free to criticize what you have to say. If you don't like your ideas or thoughts being criticized, go post them privately among like minded people, and not in a publicly accessible forum.

    For the record, I've considered myself to be more than fair in these discussions. I back up my arguments with reason, logic, and more often that not I credit and cite my sources. I recognize that I'm wrong sometimes, and I will gladly admit to any such mistakes if they're pointed out to me. I know I'm not going to be the most popular poster here because of my style and my politics, but hey, this is AMT : If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. There's always AET or the other subforums.

    Ha! You're man of the year on here compared to me. You raise good points, though. I post here, and I post stuff that can be unpopular. Guess I need to man up and deal, or else leave.

    Nobody wants you to leave, dude. That was just a general comment I put up, wasn't aimed at anyone in particular.
    Speaking of man of the year, I'm going to have a few drinks tonight to celebrate another year come and gone for me. Later folks! :mrgreen:

    CONservative governMENt

    Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

    I've also walked dozens of neighborhoods handing out flyers for Democrats. Do you have a point?
