    Again, not sure I agree with that for all cases. I think the opinion that murder is ok, is always wrong. But that is an extreme example.

    If you were about to be killed, and someone magically popped up and wanted to murder your attacker to save your life, you would value that persons opinion, and cheer on their actions.

    It's wrong in general, but specifics always seem to hold up in one way or another I find. It seems there's always some grain of good to everything when you increasingly approach the specifics to any bad situation.

    I wouldn't necessarily consider that murder (on the part of my would be savior).

    Without getting overly philosophical, there always seems to be a yin to every yang.

    green eggs to every ham...

    Well, there's always ham when there's green eggs.

    Even though it sometimes drives me bat shit crazy, I try not to say anything about spelling or grammar EXCEPT when I get the classic "Your retarded". All bets are off, and that person will be the object of ridicule. I may even quote a little Alanis Morissette.

    I didn't realize that was the choice. I'd much rather have a good time! Email or text messages are perfect media for the grammatically challenged. But if you're in this particular forum trying to debate serious issues, and you can't formulate coherent sentences, you will be fighting an uphill battle to make your point.

    Anywhere else on the board it is OK to talk about they're music that there playing over their and I could care less if your using you're grammer right. [phew, I think I got most of my pet peeves out of the way ;) ]

    Such a good quote! Love Robbins

    I always use the wrong 'your'...what's worse is that I'll type out you're when I needed the other one. :p Reading over this thread again, I see I've done it about 5 or 6 times in this one thread alone....I don't feel like going back and editing. :) The eye sores will have to stand.

    pointing something out is not scolding...and the fact that you take it that way is telling...

    thanks for the insight...:rolleyes:

    here's my definition of scolding: "To reprove or criticize openly"...

    which is what I took from post #46...

    now, let's get back to flag pins, posters, and names...shall we...

    I apologise to you if my point in post # 46 felt harsh to you. I can for sure understand why you felt openly criticized.

    Peace, my friend.

    I did realize I was crossing a line and I own that fully. Again, I'm sorry that you took the brunt of that.

    Here's a profile of the guy who did it:

    Unfortunately, according to the article, his video seems to be changing minds among voters too lazy to research the facts.

    The problem is, you've just described the vast majority of the American electorate.
