<< tex can you please provide me links to the statistics you provided about illegal immigrants? I'm curious to see how the 85% hospital birth rate you cited compares to the Texas average. I would guess that particular hospital is very close to the border and is a poor indication of the statewide birth rate, let alone the national.

The 15% California jail occupency by violent illegal immigrants is also interesting and I'm curious to see if this was taken out of context somehow.

Heh heh. Already looking to discredit the source before you know what it is ;):D

<< I am politically active and you never did ask me this question. If you still claim you have and I did not give you an answer, provide the eviedence. >>


Mnnnkay. I can handle that. I'll cut and paste each request for you. Feel free to go back and read everything else at your leisure.



<< I think it's pathetic that you spend so much time here pontificating about Berkley/Clinton/etc and yet apparently spend zero time actually doing anything about it. If you're so passionate about your political ideals, get up from the computer and put your money and time where your mouth is. Armchair politicians are annoying. >>




Not a question any where in there. That is what is called a statement.




<< Or is it just easier and safer for you to stand on your little ATOT soapbox, point your virtual finger and scream "LIBERAL!!!BAD!!" at easy targets like UCB? I say again, if you feel so strongly about all this, why don't you get off your ass and become an active part of the political process? >>




Now this is a request. Thats my fault for missing it.




<< Still dying to know why the extent of your political life is apparently confined to ATOT.. >>




And I missed it here in your accusation.



<< If this is the extent of his political and social activity, this makes him a professional flamer. Put up or shut up. >>




You added And social actvity which was not true hense the links.



<< I'm super-glad you can type things other than just yelling and screaming, but until you actually take up the torch and do something your words are just that. Sound and fury....signifying nothing. >>



No mention of poitical stance here.

I'm sorry if some were an implied question rather than a direct one. I'll try to keep it simple for you next time I have a question.

Also, how exactly are you politically active? Just saying you are doesn't exactly cut it.

Fausto[/i] >>



I vote. I donate money. I read. Thats how I am politically active.

I also find it amsuing how I asnwer nearly all of your points yet you have consistantly walked around almost half of my points while demanding an answer to one question.

Now, I have answered your question twice. Show me all the flames I have in each of those non political threads. If I
"do it all the time" like you claim then you should have no problem find a flame in EACH one.

I don't see what the problem is. Her district is liberal and anti-war, so she votes liberal and anti-war.
I disagree with her stand, but I don't want my congressman voting "their conscience" or for the "common good" or the consensus of congress.
Consensus of congress consists of the balance of the views of reps, not all reps havign the same view.
My congressman is there to represent me and voters in the district, not the U.S congress, and not their stinking opinion.

It was in the Dallas Morning news last week. The Hospital is Parkland Hospital in Dallas. Feel free to call them.

The Department of Corrections statistics given by the O'Reilly Factor.

Precisely my point. For someone who is so quick to yell and scream and insult people with views contrary to yours, you have only cursory political involvement. Anyone with a checkbook can donate money, voting only occurs a few times per year, and most third-graders read pretty well. However misguided they are, the students of Berkeley are more politcally active than you by a mile.

And as for the list of threads you put up, I'll concede your civility in each of those. Congratulations, you're not an asshole 100% of the time....you'll have to make that your new year's resolution for 2003.

<< Only you in your stupidity would see people of different idiological backgrounds finding common ground "kissing ass"
>>

Actually it seems rather natural that 3 individuals like you, Elledan and Czar would find some common ground. All three of you are on the lunatic fringe with regards to your political views. They just happen to be a little bit more personable than you. Of course a rabid skunk is more personable than you and ( smells slightly better)

<< Nice to see you made the thread Red.
Had I known you were in the bay area, I would have bought you a fine draft or two as I was in your neck of the woods working last week.

Actually I don't live in the Bay Area any more. I'm about a 100 miles down the Coast in Central California. I was price out by the outragoes cost of housing so I moved down to California's version of "Green Acres". Still it would have been cool to get together and tilt back a few. Maybe the next time I'm in Detroit. ???:)

When someone gives me cause yes. You never did. thats why I respect some people with your point of view. Just not you personally.

And how are you defining politically active? Some Moron going to a protest just because his/her friends are is not being politically active, just following a group.

There was never any doubt. But lets see how this began.

First you tried to blame Berkeley's liberal stature on a few people which I took acception to.

Then you claimed I had never been out of my own state. Once again I had to correct you.

Then you tried to debate the recent incidents I was basing my statement that Berkeley was a liberal school.

And once again I had to give you a little lesson in the real history of the events, even quoted someone who actually attends the school.

Then you predictably called me narrow minded because I provided you with the evidence that was the basis for my reasoning.

Then you made the assumption I was just jumped on people in this forum and once again I had to prove me wrong.


You went in every direction from accusing me of claiming all student at Berkeley were Liberals (which I didn't) to accusing me of doing nothing but post insults in ATOT (which again I proved inaccurate) hoping something would stick.

You made the assumptions and I chopped them down one by one. Next time be more careful in your replies.

I'm sorry I can't your research for you. And as far as being defensive, you already stated you questioned their context.

If you so doubt it, do the research. I gave you the hospital name and the department of corrections as the sources for the statistics.

I support her for voting her mind and standing up for her principals. A response was needed but even now I doubt the one that was implimented was the correct one, regarding Afganistan.

I'm sorry that we just don't randomly flame people like you do. The anger you have inside must be overwhelming.

I've seen better comebacks from 3rd graders with Turrets Syndrome Dawn. Quit while you're behind.

<< And how are you defining politically active? Some Moron going to a protest just because his/her friends are is not being politically active, just following a group. >>



Well, let's see...I'm an active member of the GA Democratic Party, The Red Clay Democrats, I've done some work with the Carter Center, I'm actively involved in GARAL (do a lot of organizing of events, legwork, etc....my wife is on the board of directors), was actively involved in the recent Mayoral election her in Atlanta (helped organized events, fund raisers, speaking engagement, and such for the candidate I suported...who won by the way). I didn't get invited to the Mayor's inagural bash and the annual Jefferson Jackson dinner for nothing. I don't go to protests, they are largely a waste of time.

Now I'll slice and dice Tex-style for your amusement.



<< First you tried to blame Berkeley's liberal stature on a few people which I took acception to. >>


Took exception to and yet never rebutted other than to insist (again) that all Berkeley students and faculty are screaming liberals.



<< Then you claimed I had never been out of my own state. Once again I had to correct you. >>


No, I implied you had never been out of your own state. It's a common theme among narrow-minded persons such as yourself.



<< Then you tried to debate the recent incidents I was basing my statement that Berkeley was a liberal school. >>


I just said that there was plenty of other stuff going on there that you don't care to be aware of because it's easier to make blanket generalizations based on what you've been reading lately.



<< Then you predictably called me narrow minded because I provided you with the evidence that was the basis for my reasoning. >>


"Evidence"....that's rich.



<< Then you made the assumption I was just jumped on people in this forum and once again I had to prove me wrong. >>


Heh, I'll bet an "Is Texmaster a flaming dipsh*t?" poll might bear out my assertation that your life revolves around flaming our fellow ATers. The point (as made by PSYWVic) is that you substitute insults and yelling for actual debate...I doubt many would disagree with me on this point.

I think this is the part where I insult you and incorporate "LOL", "Moron!", "Ignorant", and "Reactionary(in lieu of "liberal")into a short rant in an effort to shut you up.....you're the expert, of course.

If you are insulted by the fact that I consider your political views on the fringe then so be it. I also consider Texmasater to be on the fringe.. that is if I can decipher his points of views betweens his shouting and his calling everyone who disgrees with his "Little Buddy " or "Coward"

Elledan, you mean that you actually are serious and believe what you post? ..Uhh ok.

No but it obviously you seem to think it includes you. Now if you feel insulted by my opiniojn of your political views you must not feel to secure with them.

Yet you knew next to nothing about the Berkeley events you were defending. How sad.



<< Now I'll slice and dice Tex-style for your amusement. >>



HAHAHA This outta be good.



<< Took exception to and yet never rebutted other than to insist (again) that all Berkeley students and faculty are screaming liberals. >>



Sigh. Must I quote you for you to even remember your own posts?

Actually, there are plenty of brilliant people at Berkley (their Bio department comes to mind), it's just that they have always had this very vocal group on the far left of the spectrum politics-wise Since they're the most outrageous, they get all kinds of press and thus some small-minded people think that's how everyone at Berkley conducts themselves

You even Bolded "Everyone". Thats not taking exception little buddy, thats making a stance. And you were wrong as usual.



<< No, I implied you had never been out of your own state. It's a common theme among narrow-minded persons such as yourself. >>



LOL!!! Right. And Clinton didn't have sexual relations with that Woman? LOL!!

Man, how gutless do you have to be to hide behind something like that? LOL

And by the way, looks like I have to choke you on your own words. Have you ever even been out of Texas, for that matter?

You didn't imply it, you deliberatly questioned it. This is is really too easy.



<< I just said that there was plenty of other stuff going on there that you don't care to be aware of because it's easier to make blanket generalizations based on what you've been reading lately. >>



I said Berkeley is one of the most liberal schools in the country. That was the same before and after these recent events. To claim otherwise shows how uninformed you are.



<< "Evidence"....that's rich. >>



I know the word is foreign to you but yes those events supported my statement quite nicely :)



<< Heh, I'll bet an "Is Texmaster a flaming dipsh*t?" poll might bear out my assertation that your life revolves around flaming our fellow ATers. The point (as made by PSYWVic) is that you substitute insults and yelling for actual debate...I doubt many would disagree with me on this point. >>



You would be wrong again. I only flame those that are uniformed or make generalizations based on nothing. In other words, people like you :)
