This place is a joke - Merged with AIRING OUT GRIEVANCES

[5stringJeff]

Seriously.

Now, there are quite a few intelligent posters here, but for the most part, this message board is a forum of insularity.

"I am fed up and tired of hearing liberals say ..."
"Vote Democrat - It Is Easier Than Working "
"You can't spell LIBERALS without LIES "

You all paint this picture, where half of all politicians are honest, truth telling, good someritans, while the other half are all liars and cheats. Half of the populous is forthright, while half are a bunch of baby killers. Then you all pat each other on the back for agreeing with each other.

It's ridiculous really. I mean, just from those quotes above, "You can't spell liberals without lies," to really assume idealogical differences (because that's all it is, erally) imply a difference in truth-telling is absurd.

So, like I originally said, this place is a joke. I can only hope that the few of you who are capable of thinking for yourselves shine through this mess.

OK.

WHy do you generally lose arguments then?

Perhaps because your idea of losing an argument is not agreeing with you politically?

John Kerry: "The sky is blue"
George Bush: "No it isn't! It's bright red!"

rtwngAvngr: "Did you see Kerry lose that argument to Bush? It was brutal!"

Anyway,
Typically, I abstain from arguments here.

School is apparently out.

It has been out since finals ended the first week of May...

I was able to post more in May and early June because I was visiting my father in Michigan. Now I am back in Jersey and I have to work from 7-3 everyday.

A few more months and I will be back at school and back to passing out election notices for the Dems.

Good for you...it doesn't end around here until Friday this week.

It is nice to see the kids getting involved in the democratic process at an early age.

that was a very stupid joke, Max - here's a better joke:

A blonde, a brunette, and a redhead are on the run from the law when they find an old barn to hide out in. The police are close on their tails, so when the women find three sacks, they immediately jump into them. About a minute later, a policeman comes into the barn and sees the suspicious-looking sacks. He kicks the first one.

"Meow," says the redhead.

"It must be a cat," thinks the policeman and he kicks the second sack.

"Woof," says the brunette.

"Must be a dog," thinks the policeman and he kicks the third sack.

"Potatoes," says the blonde.

No. I mean your opinions on issues and policy are not based on facts and sound theory of any kind. It's just hysterical, emotional, antiamericanism, and socialist dogma. You're so brainwashed, you can't see that your justifications and explanations lack merit.

 

[1549]

WHy do you generally lose arguments then?

The winner and loser of a political argument is purely subjective. There is no cut and dry answer to what is debated here.

Usually an argument will initially involve just one or two posters. A liberal view is quickly pounced on by multiple conservative posters. The conservative posters will echo similar views and begin to share congrats for the victory over a liberal poster. The liberal argument does not have to be disproved, just outnumbered.

All parties involved walk away feeling that they were right.

I am not faulting any conservative posters, I am merely pointing out that the system tends to work that way here.

When I was in high school I got out around this time. That is the nice thing about college: classes start around the same time, but end over a month sooner.

I posted 3 in this thread already, had you been paying attention. There are plenty more, I simply chose those because I had seen them recently.

"I am fed up and tired of hearing liberals say ..."
"Vote Democrat - It Is Easier Than Working "
"You can't spell LIBERALS without LIES "

And, like I already said,

It's ridiculous really. I mean, just from those quotes above, "You can't spell liberals without lies," to really assume idealogical differences (because that's all it is, really) imply a difference in truth-telling is absurd.

I totally disagree. Usually the opinions can be traced back ultimately to some verifiable theory of government, or economic principle or verifiable fact. The fact that you feel everything is subjective is perhaps why you lose everytime, yet fail to learn.

Basically you are correct; the reverse is also true (libs dogpile the single conservative) and then summarily dismiss them as "ignorant" or brainwashed. Occassionally there are real debates between opposing views with valid points on both sides as well as solid substantive support for each point of view...it does happen and those usually are the most thought provoking threads. Usually those types of threads avoid the usual "talking points" from either side.

Can you copy and paste like remarks and behavior made by myself?

College classes up here are running later too. Spring floods, etc had an impact...unfortunately.

I did not say, nor did I imply, that everyone here is like that.

I don't know if you have made any remarks like that.

Oh. So when you said "you all" you didn't mean me. I feel so out of le loop. At least I'm one of the "smart ones", but considering the source..........:rotflmao:

Name one person who is, then find a remark of theirs, proving your point. Do it. I said.

Name one person who is, then find a remark of theirs, proving your point. Do it. Cause I said.

Posts in this thread don't count.

Although I left the posters identities anonymous, I've already done this with three examples, that you've now twice chosen to ignore.
