so....basically a lot of bickering between partisans about who is more partisany and which partisan is most stupid for being partisan....and yet there still isn't another corroborating news article for the story in the OP?

Nice thread, OP! :thumbsup:

Red meat to a pack of wolves.
And when they finished ripping into each other, the only meat was their own.

Moonie, is this the kind of person you're talking about...the kind who is "best able to assess real world actual risk as opposed to say a very valuable but irrational and easily triggered knee jerk, maybe even reptilian, brain response"?

Adding desperation to the mix isn't helping your cause either.

Desperation? Is that what you call it? Hate to hold you out as an example to Moonie...but damn...you have issues that are not uncommon around here and were convenient to pick on at the time.

Actually, I also suspected alcohol.

You hate to? Why are you doing something you hate to do? Using yourself as an example of a hateful person? How sad for you. You just keep digging yourself into that hole deeper and deeper without even realizing it it aren't you?

Take me for example. I don't hate you. I feel pity for you. Mixed with a tiny glimmer of hope that you will one day learn enough to grow as a person with less hate. You can learn you know. Remember back when you were a child and learned so many new things through trial and error. Remember for example when you learned to walk. At first you stumbled and fell down. Slowly through trial and error you learned and now you can walk without even having to think about how. You still have that ability to learn. Whether you know it or not.

Actually, I also suspected alcohol.

lol I hope that's the case!

You might be quite unhappy to learn I do not drink alcohol, nor do I take mind altering substances. Except knowledge. I'm absolutely addicted to knowledge. Oh but it alters you in such wonderful positive ways. I would like that for you, so that you may experience it. You might come away as a more positive person that way.

I would like that for most of the world that is stupidly, ignorantly mired in conflict from hate of unknown (to them) origin.

Do you have any more hateful things you'd like to say to me? Feel free. I'm open to suggestions.

Giving people suggestions on how to grow as a person tastes like spearmint to me. It's a wonderful flavor that I love so much. I love it as much as humans I see stumbling through life trying to discover how to love more, and hate less.
