<< Way to go, brandon.

Now we have a TX vs. CA flame war. ;)
>>


All I did was ask a legitimate question and then some members decided to turn into a flame war. This is exactly what I was trying to point out as what happens in these threads. Oh well, children will be children...no matter how much money or gray hair they have.

Lame enough for you to post in it and get the thread off track. I asked a question as to what was the deal with the endless bashing going on in these forums and you turn it into a circus.

A Circus is entertaining. On the other hand, mindless threads about cards, Tech News you get off the web and Sniveling about us having fun is deadly. Don't get me wrong, I think you are cool Bubba, just relax and flow with it.

Posting about cars and tech news doesn't result in virtual fist fights. This Conservative vs Liberal is getting to the point where Liberals and Conservatives are blamed for everything from the murdering mom to the gas crisis to the power situation in California to Timothy McVeigh to Liberals bashing religion.

From the threads I've read, it isn't harmless...it gets downright flaming hot in those threads.

I just didn't like the fact that I had come to ask why was this going on and wanted some explanations...and then others completely turn the thread into a bashing session.

Well Duh. When someone posts an opinion like it's the absolute truth you are going to get flames. What makes it interesting is that both the Republicans and the Democrats are a joke. In fact it seems we look for the biggest buffoons and elect them just so we can insult them. Take the Presidential Election. They couldn't have picked two more pathetic individuals to run than Bush and Gore. One couldn't tell the truth and the other couldn't tell the difference between the truth and BS. Now we have some joker as President who can't even control his children, let alone the country. He's just goofy enough to actually Scare the Ruskies and the ChiCom's ( not to mention his own people). And how about those who voted for him? They have to lie and pretend that they are comfortable with him as President just so they don't look foolish. I'm sure Rush Limbaugh wished GW was a Democrat as he'd have a field day with the Knucklehead.

67gt500- You are a moron. You should really start each post with &quot;I have no clue what i am talking about but will make a feeble attemp to provide information i am sure was writen somewhere else but is based not in fact but twisted into what i want people to think is the truth.&quot;

It would save us all alot of trouble. Perhaps You ment to SAY Consevitives want to put arsnic in your water. IN fact it was GW who would not make the regs tighter. Because it doesn't madder people arn't dieing from arsnic poissen and it would cost an exorbinate amout of money to put into action.

You Cailm to be a conservitive. You missed the boat here buddy. I am conservitive and It tend to mean making INFORMED (in·formed - To impart information to; make aware of something) yet yoiu fly off the handle with no information or consistancy. Pease donnot refer to you self as a conservitive you are making those of us that have a clue look bad.

Not all who participate in those threads are there to bash.

In all seriousness the topics dealt with in political threads will have more impact on peoples lives then whether the latest video card will give you 3 FPS more then the competitors. I fully realize that peoples views will probably not be changed by a discussion on a bulletin board, but the sharing of ideas and seeing others viewpoints can be a learning experience.

Why do they turn into bashing threads?

I blame it on the liberals, it's all their fault. ;)

NFSF, &quot;Posting about cars and tech news doesn't result in virtual fist fights. &quot;
Man, you must of missed the Nividea/3DFX flame wars or the Intel/AMD slug fests that have broken out. Some of those have gotten just as out of hand then the political threads. It's all in what you perceive as important.

josphstalinator, you must have fecal matter for brains. Who gives a rats ass if smoking is allowed in bars? I do agree the liberals have screwed things up.. along with the Weak puke California Republicans.But now we are taking care of the problem without the help of the Republican opportunists (like they are capable of helping anyone but themselves to the States Treasury)

ummm, most of the bashing is done by Conservatives. Watch tv and listen to the radio and visit the alternative news websites.

Conservatives have to bash. Otherwise what would be the point of being one??

Tx gave Ca energy shortages &amp; gave shrub to the country. that's proof enough, but more points: hotter than hell, ugly landscape, pollution worse, full of Texans.

Spamela, the reason California has gone downhill is because of all the Friggin out of Staters moving in like Lemmings crowding the Highways and causing Housing Prices to go up. Welcome to Californa &quot;Ya'll&quot;, now get the hell out and move back to Texas or were ever it was &quot;Ya'll&quot; came from.




<< but more points: hotter than hell, ugly landscape, pollution worse, full of Texans. >>

Don't forget Texas Assasinated JFK.

Let's see now, who would you rather have as a leader?
A plain talking Texan without a polished command of the language, not inclined to be politically correct, someone whose word you can rely on, and the will to dig up the energy products we require, and will keep the lights on?

Or.

A glib, polished Hollywood BS schmoozer, who has saved the whales, trees, Peregrine Falcon and &quot;cleaned &quot; the air, but has run the energy business of this Nation into the ground, and turned off our lights?

I'll take the Texan.

:)

Yeah you probably liked Oswald too.


<< A plain talking Texan without a polished command of the language >>

Motherfsckers Speeches sound like they were written by Dr. Suess. The Dimwit can't even handle his own Daughters, what the hell is Bonzo going to do with a real crisis, look to old Sausage heart Cheney?



<< not inclined to be politically correct >>

He'll do what eveer his Daddy and his Daddy's boys tell him to do. It's obvious the man is a weak leader, you can't really think that he has a say.



<< and will keep the lights on? >>

Well at least he has the smarts to know when he's been licked.



<< A glib, polished Hollywood BS schmoozer, who has saved the whales, trees, Peregrine Falcon and &quot;cleaned &quot; the air, but has run the energy business of this Nation into the ground, and turned off our lights? >>

Yeah Gore would have been as big a mistake as Bush. Of course the Myopians had the chance to olput a real leader in Power in John McCain, but the Republican Puppet Handlers and the Satanic Christian Right knew they couldn't control him so they went with the Texas Idiot.
