LOL. Bless your little pea pickin' heart Dave, you do try.

No, Obama is going to have so many fucking problems to deal with that this little agenda item is simply not going to happen. Don't bother to hold your breath.

Yes, most of the Bushies ought to be strung from lamp posts the way Charles II did after The Restoration, but this isn't 17th century England or the Soviet Union, and as I've said before Obama has no stomach for these kinds of battles.

If it were me, I'd be like Sherman with the Republicans. They'd be burned to the ground and take 1,000 years to come back.

Remember that if you wipe out the Republicans, then the Dems will have free reign with no accountability either.

It is the lack of accountability to a politician that is dangerous, not the party symbol beside their name.

Generally Republicans are all sheep following the sheeple herder. Dems are cats, each will do as he/she damn well chooses, which is why the Republicans have been so effective at gutting all of America's values, and the Dems have been so ineffective at reversing the evils of Republican administrations.

The Dems need to enforce party discipline. Something like: "The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves." Anyway, look what those wusses did for Lieberman. LOL! The Republicans would have put a bullet between his eyes.

-Robert

You forgot to add about Dems: Each will do as he/she damn well chooses, based on who has paid them the most.

The forum itself is annoying.. I wish there was less toleration of idiots. From this guy to techs to winnar11, there are plenty of intelligent people here to discuss things with but it just gets bogged down into partisan stupidity. Then you get a post like this which generates a lot of replies, so if you bring up a genuine rebuttal of the OP's point it is simple enough for him to address only the worst arguments he has received, ignoring yours, and the thread will then continue on for pages among the worst of debaters. The basic problem of this forum is that anyone making a dumbass comment can pick and choose which rebuttal to respond to, which obviously gives the dumbass more power and makes this a forum dominated by idiots.

Winner winner chicken dinner. P&N needs different rules, but I don't see it happening. I've sent all the pm's/emails necessary to voice almost exactly this opinion and never even got a response. It definitely fails as a place for serious discussion.

Speaking as someone who has posted here (in P&N) since it's inception, minimal moderation is much better than what we had before.

What this forum really needs is an "ignore poster" function.

Apparently it has it but is not implemented for some reason.

Are you actively campaigning for a Darwin Award? :roll:

Do you even know what the Darwin Award is?

Yes, I do. Next question.

So why did you use it totally inappropriately? Hit the wrong macro?

I know what the Darwin Awards are. I only intended to refer to the obvious stupidity of literally all of your posts. I know it wasn't the best choice, but the implication is there that you're stupid enough to hurt yourself.

Now that I think about it, sooner might be better than later in terms of helping to clear the gene pool. :laugh:

why cant Dave be brought up on charges and put into an asylum, it would make this forum so much better.

We should pool money for him to see a shrink.

I'm in. Times are tough, but that would be worth it as it might keep him away from the forums for a while
