I like this comment... it is... what is it... a paradox?

the comment you were referring to is what alanis morissette might call "ironic"

"its like raiiinnnnn, on your wedding day
its the dude pointing out childish arguing, then calling them all dickheads"

Although what Alannis referred to is sometimes known as plain old bad luck. But I agree with your point--and paradox does work, too.

Pearl Jam offers a mostly liberal stance on political issues. Most of their fans share this viewpoint. Some of those with opposing political viewpoints are upset by this and choose to cause disruption of the reasoned political discussion that normally occurs here. These mostly right-wing zealots get a sense of empowerment from the mindless conservative talk shows that litter both the television and radio mediums. They then log on to this and other forums with the hope of raising their low levels of self-esteem by insulting those who dare disagree with the almighty neo-conservative ideology. You can see this phenomenon on any political message board. Luckily, these miscreants represent but a slim majority, so their influence is not as significant as they believe.

Hahaha.

Thanks Mr. Budge for enlightening us all on the political forum debate throughout the world!

Seriously, don't make such generalizations about the entire right wing movement. Most of us are not "mindless," in fact - most are probably smarter than you.

That's right. Although i notice that the mods have deemed it acceptable to post video footage of Iraqis being killed. Seems to me like there's a lack of evenhandedness around here at the moment.

Do two wrongs make a right? Is that what you're arguing?

That's a surefire way to turn society right down the shitter.

"But HE had sex with animals so it should be okay for me too right??!"

"But HE posted videos of people getting killed so it should be okay for me too right??!"

Stop crying and go have some tea and crumpets.

Wait a minute--Byrnzie posted his video first to make his point about what the troops are subjected to. Last Exodus is the one who in turn posted his "killing video" for vengeful purposes. Your "sex with animals" analogy is therefore completely off base. And definitely, your other point about revenge is being used on the wrong person in this thread. Your "tea and crumpets" comment indicates a certain pettiness, particularly following your other inaccurate points, and altogether your post brings home what Byrnzie is saying: he is being misinterpreted, as well as being blamed for the misinterpretations of others. And that does not fall on him.

Thanx... I was in a rush and was late to a meeting and couldn't think of the word...
Paradox... that's a statement with contradiction... or something? You get the gist of it, though.

and I thought it was, "It's like raaaaaa-eeeeeee-ain on a rainy day..." which didn't make much sense to me since rainy days usually contain rain in the forecast.

I think the Moving Train is a very real place.

Rant. Don't want to hear it? Don't read it.



Take a quick look at this fucking place. It's fucking nothing. It's nothing more than a war ground. People don't come to the moving train to debate or learn anything. They come to push their agendas. To state what they think and then they quickly demean and insult anything that doesn't fall under what they believe. I guess my best example would be the Iraqi Sniper/Marine Bomb video. If you guys missed it, here's what happened. Someone posted a video of an Iraqi Sniper sniping marines. Should it have already been posted? No, not really. So what happens? Does everyone simply ignore the post and realizes that since it shouldn't had been put up, they should not call attention to it? No. Someone posted a video of marines dropping bombs on people. Now, not to even point out that arguing with each other by posting media of people FUCKING DYING JUST SO YOU CAN HAVE SOME FEELING OF REVENGE is fucking disgusting, but it accomplished absolutely nothing at fucking all. I wouldn't be ranting if it was just this one case. It's fucking all over this place. There are a few of us who can actually discuss topics and understand the other side. But theres more than a fucking few who are just turning this place into a god damn sewage outlet. Too many people get caught into the traps set by assholes (we know who they are. They know who they are.) and end up stooping down to the original asshole's level. You know what would happen to the thread if no one responded? It would be pushed down fairly quickly and eventually off the page. What ever happened to that line "If you hate something, don't you do it too."? If you want to be jerked off by other people who have the exact same viewpoint as you, join that message board. You can spend all day talking about how everyone else is stupid and a waste of DNA. Otherwise, shut the hell up and let the people who have open minds and open eyes try to communicate with each other.


P.S. If this post pisses you off, then don't comment on it and keep it at the top. Common sense people.

This train never did move anywhere, but in some odd ways, many of the best times on here have been spent stalled in a carriage with some right wingers, the Enoch Powell to my Tony Benn.

ThumbingMyWay32

Right wingers are nut jobs.

I want to try to clear up a couple of things that I probably didnt make clear enough. I wasn't trying to attack or call anyone out. I could have easily said "Person X did this So Person X did this". I didnt do that because it wasn't just the video incident that pissed me off. it's been a few things and I wanted to get them off my chest. Also, I was hasty making a title "The moving train is pointless". It's not. That was an error on my part. Also, I'm not saying that if you disagree with someone that its fruitless or disgusting. I clearly defined what was disgusting. What is was bitching about are the assholes that purposely try to piss people off and be purposely ignorant.

Enoch was just misunderstood in the ole' Rivers of Blood speech.

Tony Bennett is a crappy American singer, but if that's how you want it
