I never think it's a joke to make fun of other people
that's not real humor to me, like Don Rickles shit, it's underhanded
but if you find that funny maybe you like fat people jokes too
or minority jokes or those directed at the mentally challenged
that's just not my cup of tea.
I'm not sure...but appears he's going to be running a focus group
I'm pretty sure Anita Clue and Justin D. Cisive are not real people :think: I don't know for sure...just a guess...
It's ok to laugh once in a while. Really, it's ok

The blues are being bashed really I thought I was part blue :?
perhaps it speaks to how you listen. Oh no never even thought those voting for Obama are only voting down party lines
that is not common sense, you see perhaps it is how you listen.
I never made that claim it is how you interpret my words.
this is hilarious. Just to prove my own point, I searched your posts, and punched in "blues" and came up with 9 pages. Read several of the posts, and all of them were casting a bad light on them, saying they were hypcritical, intolerant, etc. All blanket statements about the democratic side of the debate.
proof is in the pudding. it's just laughable you claim otherwise. There's no "misinterpretation" here. it's in black and white.
Only if the shoe fits sir... you see I tell it like it is.
Sorry but that's really something spending so much time on little old me...
wonder why?
I don't really need to say anything about the really red here
you blues sure take care of that ...
relentlessly :fp:
and claim at the same time to be so tolerant of others,
well if they think just like you that is... that's the blue disclaimer
I find the really red refreshingly honest.
Are you serious? You deny the fact that you have been gently bashing Obama and his supporters for the better part of a month now. You say you're part blue.
Then you say, "You blues sure take care of that..."
'You blues' would suggest that you are not part... no?
You're not undecided- you've known all along. Get serious.
You mentioned in one of your responses to me that I made a lot of assumptions with regards to you and your values. I ask you... when you less than boldly declare exactly where you are at... what else is one to do but make qualified assumptions based on what you express?
i dont own a car or any other sort of vehicle. i walk and take advantage of public transport where ever i can... as for ed.. if he said that and owns a car then i have zero respect for him regarding this issue.
"Uncle Ed" is my nickname for Edward Abbey. Although he did own cars he was referring to people who go to places to see nature from their car. He believed the only way to interact with the nature world was on foot. He also had a saying:
Little girls love ponies, boys love cars and trucks, grown men and women love to walk.
Best yet is someone like you who doesn't own a vehicle at all. You put the rest of us to shame and rightly so.
aah my mistake. so used to ed meaning eddie vedder here.tho i have seen you reference edward abbey before.
there are many reasons i dont have a car, not the least being it would drive me crazy to be beholden to oil companies... not to mention insurance companies. shaming others however is not one of them.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
This is getting old and all the Democrats can say...
blame it on Bush but
the OP is talking about new debt about more unemployed
about more being forced into poverty.
These are things Obama created... new and more and there is no excuse for that, Obama must own this
just as he owns the positive things that happened under his watch.
you keep saying you are voting independently, but all you have done is bash a whole group of people, "the blues". why is it that anyone voting for Romney is voting with their knowledge but anyone voting for Obama is voting down party lines? I'd say a good portion of people on both sides vote down party lines. where are you getting this information from to make these claims?
I would say that people voting for a particular party in the states vote down party lines because those party lines fall in line generally with their own personal beliefs, morals, and ideals. one could argue they are just being consistent. voting down party lines just means someone is willing to vote for their party even if it contradicts some of their own beliefs.
how can one voted independently when theres a choice of only 2 candidates? either you support the dems and their policies or you support the republicans and their policies. as far as i can see its either/or.
hear my name

this could be the day

What you need to understand about Internet Republican types is that they love to play the game of "stop hitting yourself."
They Support laws that take away the rights and freedoms of others... use their religion as their weapon of choice, and then when you stand up for yourself, they become blubbering babies shrieking about "religious bigots" and "intolerance."
They start threads like this one, taunting, name-calling, rude, bullying.. and the moment anyone talks back to them, they flare into their phony indignation about how "the dims" or "the blues" are the REAL bullies and the REAL intolerant ones since we won't allow them the "religious freedom" to bulldoze over our families.
(and we all know that for the vast majority of them, religion is a total crock of shit. They don't believe in any God and just use that as an excuse.)
I forget whom, but one person here called me a "racist" because I made a sarcastic joke about Georgia. Apparently that person thinks "Georgia" is a race unto itself. They love to play the victim while they pat each other on the back for attacking anyone else.
I have noticed a lot of games since venturing to AMT. A big one is "let's you and him fight" - someone will start a thread on some intriguing, shit-stirring topic and then disappear while everyone battles it out. That seems to be a popular one lately. There's also "Now I've got you, you SOB" - where a minor disagreement gets totally blown out of proportion because of some minor semantic issue...and also "Why does this always happen to me?" - where the same conflict gets played on repeat. There's a few more I've noticed...but still find it hard not to get pulled into them. I guess that's why they're timeless

they might as well just be waving their arms frantically "LOOK AT ME! I'M HERE!!! LOOK AT ME!!!!"

I here ya HFD and CBG there seems to be a particular trend toward *attention* I'm a board star and at times I get pulled into the madness. I think gimmie posted a thread about trolls and it's true what it was saying most of those who seek this attention NEVER seem to start a thread ....ever.

your last sentence is a good point. I think it's because those people have no original thoughts of their own to express.

I never start threads I think I may have started a couple of birthday threads. :think: I just mean the dynamics that seem to happen overall...it's just interesting. I think that's why it sometimes feels like the same argument on repeat only with a different topic (or very closely related topic).

[/quote]I want someone, ANYONE, who thinks the state of the US economy is Obama's direct fault, to break down exactly how the economy got to where it is today. Cause and effect, please. Not just "Obama did with his bailouts and ridiculous spending". Actual reasons of why that spending occurred and why the bailouts happened, if it could have been avoided, and what the alternative could/should have been.
Thank you.[/quote]
Well put, I agree. For all those who blame BO, please enlighten us on what should have been done to fix the mess the Reps left him. If he hadn't bailed out those folks, the country would be FAR worse off than it is now. Electing Romney will be awesome because the USA will go right back into a tail spin. This time however; it may not be save able.

but that analogy is dumb and certainly doesn't fit the responsibility we expect from our
President to fix the problems at hand when they come into office. The 5.5 trillion add'l debt is one that is tough to sweep under the carpet.[/quote]
Again..... he had to do that because of wall street and bush. I'm confident that he did not want to run up the debt but it was necessary to save the USA. Think about it.

The Trolls keep hanging around here because they keep getting fed. If we quit feeding them they will look elsewhere.
troll ? just by looking at your avatar and the number of post's you have I would say you fit into the troll slot pretty tightly my friend.
Godfather.
number of posts makes a troll? that's a new one.
Yes, that's an interesting observation. Redefining the meaning of troll with every post. Although I will admit my profile pic is of the very creepy variety.
so everyone is a troll until they have a certain number of posts? or is just people who come into a thread, add nothing to the subject, and just call someone a troll?

My fave is definitely "Now I've got you, you SOB." For sure the most powerful move as far as derailing or thread locking potential goes.
