no, but I'm not in constant Outrage Mode who attacks anyone as a sexist/racist/misogynist/uneducated who dares disagree with your opinion. try having a normal, calm discussion for once and maybe 75% of your posts won't be you quoting yourself because no one wants to bother.Halifax2TheMax said:

Jesus fucking Christ, why does everyone on here get so offended so easily? Did I call you sexist? Did I call you an oppressive father? WTF? I disagreed with your opinion, statement or whatever the fuck you posited. I didn’t attack you. I didn’t call you a name. I responded to your question about whether Hillary being married to bill was responsible or had any bearing on her past or current success. Lighten the fuck up.HughFreakingDillon said:

Well she stays with Bill even though he cheats, and she's gone after the women that have accused him of sexual assault.

Talk about hypocrisy. Hillary gets villified when in fact, if you asked anyone who has worked with her, including repub senators in that most exclusive club of 100, they all say how hard she worked, how much effort she put in in understanding the issues, the complexities, the minutua of policy and yet, its all due to being married to Bill.
And yes, if she divorced Bill and ran for the senate, she'd still get elected.
Behind every great man stands a greater woman.I think old Bill himself acknowledges that she is smarter and tougher than he is. She got damn far before he became president. Like her or dislike her, pause for a second to think about the obstacles women her age faced back in the day.
Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0 -
Did I call you any of those things? And I don’t quote myself. I’m not outraged, just calling it as I see it. Sorry that bothers you but you post your way, and I’ll post mine. Okay?HughFreakingDillon said:

Talk about hypocrisy. Hillary gets villified when in fact, if you asked anyone who has worked with her, including repub senators in that most exclusive club of 100, they all say how hard she worked, how much effort she put in in understanding the issues, the complexities, the minutua of policy and yet, its all due to being married to Bill.
And yes, if she divorced Bill and ran for the senate, she'd still get elected.
Behind every great man stands a greater woman.I think old Bill himself acknowledges that she is smarter and tougher than he is. She got damn far before he became president. Like her or dislike her, pause for a second to think about the obstacles women her age faced back in the day.0 -

Hard to tell with all the sensitivity and all. But I’ll tell you what, I don’t take the personal attacks, whether real or perceived, personally. We’re generally arguing politics on a band’s message board. I can take it.mrussel1 said:
