I put some effort into making a decent post that was all MY opinion and this is what happens?


This place is worse than OT.

fvck off, asshole.

Or are you just upset because that post was essentially about people like you? Hmm? Afraid of a little reading? Afraid you might learn something about yourself? Afraid of a little debate?


Little man, little mind.
hehe, whack job. You probably cant even maintain a personal relationship your so wrapped up in your "fruitcakiness".

As for the "little man, little mind" comment. Ive seen your pic, youre barely male much less a man 🙂

And you wonder why I called him an asshole, cK?

You see, there are certain individuals up here, nutxo being today's prime example, that will take any opportunity to simply bash me simply because I'm me and I post up here quite a bit. Now *that* post should garner nutxo a nice one-month vacation as it's somewhat similar to what I did to a Riprorin post...although, I'd say his worthless attack was actually worse.


Anyway, it's obvious little minds like nutxo don't belong up here. They rarely engage in any type of debate.


Thats BS conjur. You're the one who raised hell about right wing blogs long ago. I made a comment about it being a blog and you started name calling.

EDIT, lol. YOU calling for me to be banned after you started the thing? Im not a liberal bitch that wont defend myself. Did I hit a little close to home? Fine, Ill edit my post. I said what I wanted to say, you saw it and know Ive got ya pegged. Im content.

<yawn>

What if I posted that here before I put it on my blog? What would your response have been then? hmmm?


Nope, I call as I see 'em and I see right through you.


Actually. I read almost every link you post. I probably would have skimmed it unless something caught my eye. Then I would have read it thoroughly. :beer:

If you hadn't linked it to a blog I probably wouldnt have commented.

You'll have to exuse me but being a lurker shows you things, like HS threads, post and run, and nutxo's diversions and you yourself claiming to not have the time but continue to post anyway.

It was a guess, prove me wrong and i'll be happy to dissect your post. 🙂

Your hypothesis is probably correct. I find a lot more time to respond to short posts than long ones. This one being 3774 words, it might take a while. I'm glad you're already convinced you can refute my arguments before I even write them though - obviously being a lurker hasn't taught you much :roll:

We have the presumptions set alright, you are going to argue against what he said, i am willing to back up what he said, thus, i can refute whatever you say.

Is that too complicated for you or will you have the time to respont do that? Time will tell...
 
Uh, back to topic... :roll:

Nice job Conjur, you made some excellent points, and that was very well written. Half way through, I laughed because I made a comment in other thread the other day...

Remember, Jesus was Jewish, and he rebeled against the rich and powerful Jews. If he were here today in flesh, he might rebel against the rich and powerful Christians. I cannot even fathom him encouraging what so-called Christians are taking part in today.

And if you know anything about Christianity you'll know that this is BS, in the world we live in being rich is a-ok, that Jesus excluded them from the kingdom of heaven has NOTHING to do with this world and applies only to those who get rich of others poverty.

Hitler actualy claimed, in mein kampf, to cleanse the world from the people that killed Jesus, you think he was wrong but still you are happy to adress the very same topic with hostility towards the rich Jews? (and you use Jesus as your excuse too).

 
Back to being off topic 🙁

Conjur should not not have made that statement, and thus allowed his own thread to be hijacked. If that's unclear, so be it. But what is clear is that you guys, nutxo, bushbasha, etc., are trying to kill the messenger rather than try to argue what he has to say, simply because you cannot.

I'll give you a hint, i was referring to the quote in you post.

Well, that quote is very generalized, I admit, but you're probably not taking it the way I meant. I've read it a few times now, and maybe I am just retarded, but I don't know what the heck you're talking about.
 
I read the end hoping for cliff notes because I didn't feel like reading through all of that to be honest. From what I did read it seems about as objective as Michael Moore or Rush Limbaugh which is not worth my time to read.

But I did pick out some things that I skimmed at the end which I'd like to comment on:

What will it take to finally get America involved in the entire political process again? Maybe another terrorist attack on our own soil?

How will that help?

You do realize that the reason we are involved in 2 wars at the same time right now is because we were attacked right?

If we get attacked again in a fashion similar to 9-11, it could get very bad around here. If we look at the news and see people cheering as we get blown up by another terrorist attack, the people that are saying "let's try to solve the problem" are quickly going to turn into people saying "lets kill arabs."

It isn't going to take much to turn this from a war against terrorists to a war of civilizations.

Until people are hit where it hurts and hit hard, the majority will simply just take what they?re fed; not wanting to rock the boat while they toe their party?s line.

This would be very applicable were it not coming from you Conjur.

I haven't seen you give any Republicans any slack since I've been here. You seem to toe the line 100% of the time. So, how can you accuse others of toeing the line when you do the exact same yourself?

That is the state of America. It?s a rather sad state, I must admit. But, there is still hope. The 2006 mid-term elections could bring the Democrats back into power in one or both houses of Congress. That would help restore balance to the checks and balances so badly needed in our government right now.

I'm almost 100% sure that it won't happen because the Democrats are on the verge of splitting.

The DNC leadership realizes they need moderates to gain more political power but the radical left is gaining political power that should instead be going to the DNC.

Thus, the Democrats can't even get on the same page with each other much less organize to beat the Republicans.



Here is a question for you:

If you had a choice between having Evan Baye run for president or Hillary Clinton, who would you choose?

If you had a choice between running moderate Democrats like Gepphardt or Baye for contested senate seats or people like Pelosi who would you choose?


It is ranting and raving lunatics like yourself that help keep the Democrats out of power.

It's not a question of taking it, I am Jewish and German, i have a great deal of knowledge on this subject and i am referring to something you may or may ont be aware of, if that was the intention or not remains to be commented on by the originator though.

And i'm still talking about that quote.

My forst comment didnt have to do with content. Ill admit that. My comment was regarding blogs. Ive said that before.

Heres one thing Ill commment on that made me laugh.
Reading the news today, one would think that America?s Christians were under attack from all angles. Nothing could be further from the truth. The more fundamentalist and the more ardently faithful Christians seek to constantly affirm their faith in the face of perceived threats. Two of the biggest threats they perceive are abortion and same-sex marriage. These have become wedge issues which have been used those in power of the Republican Party to define what amounts to ?family values? in today?s society. Poverty, education, and parental responsibility seem to have become lost in the shuffle, despite being the core of what comprises ?family values?. Also, these people truly are not Christians. What did Jesus teach 1,980 years ago? It surely wasn?t that family values involved gun ownership, labeling certain portions of society as sinners, and intervention in government affairs. Jesus, first and foremost, was actually Jewish. This is too-often forgotten today. He taught that the meek and humble were to be honored. Materialism was not the righteous path and also to keep faith separate from the government (sure does sound like Jesus was quite the liberal!) Jesus was also a bit of a rebel. He fought to tear down a wall separating the average person from the rites and rituals of the Jewish faith. Jesus, therefore, represented a threat to the Jewish high priests since it was they who controlled those aspects of Judaism. Because he was a threat to their power, the high priests had Jesus crucified; a martyr for his beliefs. Jesus also taught to practice one?s faith in private, not to be a hypocrite like the Sadducees. Sadly, too many of today?s so-called Christians go directly against that teaching. You can see them in their Sunday-best for an hour or two on Sunday mornings as they drive their ?Support Our Troops? ribbon-laden SUVs to the regional megachurch where they watch their preacher on large projection screens with their 10,000 fellow believers.


Read the first part of that, then read the end. While I agree with much of that conjur lets his bitterness get the best of him and cant resist a jab at the end. Im not a christian and far be it from me to tell anyone how to worship. I guess Im just more tolerant in that respect. ;-)

Most of whats written has been said on these boards 500 times. There's really nothing new or provocative. A forum search could find all of these subjects and everyones POV. For a blog, meh. I don't read them.
