jasendorf said:Some advice my liberal friend:
1) Just assume that you're going to be temporarily banned if you serve some conservative admins their hat while debating an issue. It's not a true banning but more of a "I'm being soundly thumped here and need a way out so maybe everyone will forget if he 'goes away' for 24 hours" ban. Short of that, they may just "remove" you from a particular thread when they're wrong and you've proven them wrong for the umpteenth time. It's all good. You'll survive. Move on to the next thread and carry on with the liberal viewpoint. So far I have absolutely no indication they'll unfairly permanently ban you simply for having a liberal view point.
jasendorf said:2) They prefer the Alan Colmes type liberals here... you know, almost-Republican apologists. They'll bash you to no end and then whine like babies and then you might get banned for a short while and then you'll come back in a day or two and start over. Meanwhile, they'll have trashed the thread you're in with stuff like, "where'd you go chicken?"
jasendorf said:3) Prepare yourself for conservative hypocrisy out the yingyang. They'll cry and whine about black leaders calling Justice Thomas an 'Uncle Tom' and then call you a 'wigger' in the same thread. They'll watch someone post half a dozen conservative articles in rapid succession (with sources like neoconcontrolcenter.com) and say nothing, but as soon as you post three liberal viewpoint threads they'll accuse you of "running to DU." They'll say nothing when someone falsely accuses you of allying with the Westboro Baptist Church but then, in the very same thread, will scream like little children when you do the same to them. Just be ready for it. Sometimes I think I'm in mock-indignation++land
jasendorf said:4) Be ready for a constant barrage of links to hooked-on-phonics, reading is fundamental and so forth because many conservatives seem to be unable to remember what they previously posted or are incapable of saying what they actually mean and have to revise and change their position five times. This is their defense mechanism... they can't articulate what they want to say, so YOU'RE stupid. Don't let your feelings be hurt. They don't mean to be so mean... their parents just didn't hug them enough. Try to be as understanding as possible.
jasendorf said:5) They're really touchy about the rep points thing. It's kind of like a self-congratulatory circle jerk in that they run around patting each other on the back for sounding like Westboro Coulter. Sometimes you can give some love for an Alan "I'm Sorry" Colmes-type post. But, that's about it. My suggestion, just stay away from the repping thing. To some it's like their life to them. One guy even told me he was going to "hurt" me with the rep point thing... as if I cared.
jasendorf said:But, as to your question... no, I don't think you're going to be permanently banned for having a liberal viewpoint. The conservatives don't like it when you stand up to them; but, I think we're done with watching liberals let conservatives trample all over us with their screachy, mealy-mouthed arguments.

jasendorf said:While I consider it the highest form of flattery that you think I am Black... I'm about as white as they come. German and Irish in the blood. I value the discussions, reading and educating I've done to try and understand the trials Black Americans have faced and continue to face on a daily basis.
Black leaders have long proposed ways to enhance, change and fix this country. But, that doesn't make the news nearly as often as the rare times they call out a racist when they see one. You think conservatives have a hard time being heard in the press? Try being a Black leader.
gotzoom said:Why is this so interesting to you? Do you feel you missed your calling in life?
You are white but yet feel that someone thinking you are black is the HIGHEST form of flattery?
There is a word for this you know:
wigger-(n.) one who suffers from "ghettoitis", a disease that occurs mostly in caucasion high school/ college aged males (mostly from rich, white families and suburban homes having 2 or more expensive sports cars or SUVs), causing them to believe that they are african-american and from "the hood", and they they are "missundastood" and will "bust a cap in yo ass" if you "be playa hatin'", they feel driven to listen to rap music as an attempt to blend in with african-american society, sometimes even listening to other sufferers of ghettoitis (ex. eminem, vanilla ice) to feel an even stronger sense of belonging. there is no cure for this illness but it has many side effexts, such as tripping over ridiculously large pants and boots, wearing funny hats, and speaking ebonics, as well as annoying all of those around them.
Now, where I personally haven't seen you or know enough about you to decide if this definition is accurate, I do have to say that the last 9 words are pretty accurate.
GotZoom said:I certainly don't see anywhere in that post where I said, "You are a wigger." In fact, I specifically said I don't know him well enough to know if that definition is accurate.
He missed that though. Guess it didn't help him further his agenda.
catatonic said:Hi.
I just found this site on google that said it was America's premier message boards.
I noticed that over 99% of you are of the same politcal persuasion and was wondering if a liberal wouldn't be able to post here, so I just thought I'd test it out. There doesn't seem to be a single post here supporting any liberal person.
This is not a normal political message board. A normal political message board would be a debate between diverse groups, not a very narrow class of Americans. The Republicans in Congress don't even seem to be this one-sided. Call me crazy but you all seem to be stereotypes. What gives and will I be immediately banned?
