Peer Messages from the "tolerant" Left?

then you MUST be mistaken! :D

You disagree that abortion should not be a casual thing of "oh dang! I'm knocked up again!"?

It did take me a bit to figure out what FAKE James was going on about, as there hasn't been a lot of discussions about this topic recently and I didn't remember EVER saying ANYTHING to him about it. Like I said, I can only ASSuME that this was what his friendly email was about. :p

To put the lid on the pot before it boils over, still a form of birth control, but not because of an "oops" based on the babykillers part. (I almost kept that neutral.....)

Besides, about the panties. He sounds like one of those "abused husbands" that they talk about in the news. Goes home and she kicks his a$$ from one side of the house to the other. :^O

I won't claim to be an expert, but I have been to US political conventions, read "Campaign and Elections" and followed US politics for a long time (when I was a kid I watched the Watergate hearings).

US Politics is highly polarized. I don't know whether its the fast moving sound bite media world we live in, or that politeness and tolerance have gone out the window. Its all mud all the time, and frankly the Republicans and Democrats are both very muddy. In the old days, parties would work together and come up with compromises that often worked out great, but there seems no will to put aside partisanship anymore.

Politicians of varying stripes in Canada have tried to introduce these kinds of tactics, and the voters have punished them for it. It seems to work in the US though.

Believe it or not, Sean Hannity was saying the same thing on the radio on Friday. He was interviewing Sen. Joe Lieberman, and Hannity told Lieberman that he would vote for him if he lived in the same state as Lieberman.

If there were more Democrats like Sen. Joe Lieberman (and Zell Miller of Georgia), then we could have a good choice and decent political debate instead of the usual "I vote for Republicans because Democrats are much worse", which I often end up doing.

If you look at the positions of the Right, they are no where NEAR as far "right" as they used to be. They are still generally "correct", but NOT "far right". Yes, there are always exceptions to the rule but you can't blame the Conservatives because a few mentally challenged individuals will say or do something stupid (Roberson) that are NOT elected representatives anyways.

Good thing (for the right) that the left can't say the same thing. Has anyone ever heard Sen. M.Waters in CA say ANYTHING that wasn't stupid? How about Kennedy? Just HOW does he keep getting elected? What is the major malfunction of the people in his state?

How about the NAACP calling two black Americans to obtain the third highest position POSSIBLE in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA being just "tolkens". Powell and Rice just aren't "black" enough? That should be a REAL wakeup call to what that organization is all about. "If you work hard and get an education, you can be called a tolken too!"

Catching up on some of the other discussions, it seems Fake James has really taken a shine to Maxwell. He has been polite and thoughtful in all of his responses, making it hard to argue with his posts? Not in this life time! :D [i](I crack myself up!)[/i]

But he does look to be TRYING to sucking up to Neil! Got a fan club now Neil? :^O Although his ignorant, rude, and hateful posts seem in cold contrast to your thoughfully sarcastic posts. Not a good fit.

I know I do.

A related story:

Not too long ago, a guy in the office was being a real PITA (Pain In The ....) to some other people, and I thought he was being kinda' out of line. I wasn't really involved, on way or the other, except just being aware of what was going on. His office is actually a cubicle in what we call our "bull pen" area, the typical cubicle farm with lots of people and very little or no privacy, especially when volumes on radios or speakers are turned up, making phone calls, and the like.

Well, one morning, I made sure, without anyone noticing me, that his speakers were turned up pretty loud. And what would you know, that very morning he received an email from some unknown sender, some name he didn't know, from some Yahoo email account. (Gee, I wonder who sent that email?) Of course, the email had a link.

I made sure I was hanging out in the area that morning when he got into the office, and as we all know, the first thing everybody always does is download their email, right? Everybody in the area heard that all too familiar jingle. I was laughing so hard that I almost ..... well, we don't have to go there, but it was hard to remain unnoticed. But you should have seen all the heads pop up out of the cubicles, just like you might see in a Dilbert cartoon. Needless to say, all eyes and ears tuned into his cubicle.

You gotta' love it. A practical joke played on somebody, and he had (has) absolutely no idea who did it, especially when it was the guy he might least suspect.

Save that link, Neil. It's a lot of fun.

(I always tell these people to never open links in emails sent by unknown people. They just never listen!)

the only thing I DID edit was the descriptor at the end? The @@ were mine, not his.

There is a BIG difference between someone like FAKE James and you. I can DISCUSS something with you, even if we both know up front we won't change the others minds about anything. There is at least a respectful discussion, and some understanding of what makes the other tick.

I have not seen a SINGLE intellegent post by FAKE James yet, nor anything to support anything he has to say.

It is people like him that have taken to Democratic party so far to the left and makes everyone else just roll their eyes when they make the mistake of opening their mouths. The messenger is killing the message.

I REALLY loved it when he tried sucking up to Neil and got ignored. Not QUITE as funny as when jck was sucking up to YOU and your response was classic! :D So much for his new best friend! ;\

that my complaints of the political parties has NOT been just of the Democratic party.....

When we get people to FEEL instead of THINK, we are in trouble every time.

What do you do with witches? Burn them!!
She turned me into a newt, but I got better!!
She has a nose and a hat like a witch!!
We did the hat, and the nose, but she is still a witch!! She has a wart!!

How can you tell she is a witch? She is made out of wood.

How can you tell she is made out of wood? Build a bridge from her. NO, see if she floats.

What else floats? Churches, very small rocks, A DUCK!!

Therefore, if she weighs the same as a duck, she is a witch, and we can burn her!!

Its China that has the restrictions.

What often happens is girl babies get dropped off at orphanages. If you want to adopt a baby, and you want a girl, China has a huge supply.

The mystical collectivism of the Republican party that insists on ignoring the real fact of individuality, but [i]in a different, equally incorrect way[/i], is no solution.

I am smarter than the moron who coined the phrase "the enemy of enemy is my friend". Machiavelli made a more useful, accurate appraisal of the value to a person of an enemy's enemy: such people can make useful allies, but considering them friends, just because of a common enemy, is foolish.

I personally consider myself an "independent" because I will look at the idea. I think the option for a single check box to vote party line should be removed.

I vote Republican because voting independent would be splitting the vote and only put the Democrats in power again.

The direction the Democratic party has gone since Clinton got in office has left me with less and less things that I can agree with Dems on. The core values are against everything that I believe in. It is clear to me that the party leaders HAVE no core values and are only doing whatever they can to make Republicans look bad, because whatever is bad for Republicans is good for Democrats, hense the intentional undermining of the war on terror. Making the country out to be in worse shape than it really is, because if the country is doing badly it makes the party in power look bad. They WANT things to be bad because it is the only way they can get back to the power that they crave.

don't religious people have a RIGHT to lead a religious life?

Oh, I forgot, this only applies to Christians.

I don't see people applying the same anti-religion rules on Muslims. Why is that?

his posts are getting worse, not better.

No class. No class at all.

I see being a ditch digger for that young man when he finally gets kicked out of his moms house, as most IT shops would not tolerate someone of his low caliber of character in a professional setting.

Still, like I told him, people like him will ensure that Democrats keep losing because no one will want to be associated with people as insane as he is. (kind of like a miniture Howard Dean!)

Thanks for saying so Zearon. :D

First instinct was to attack him as viciously as he did me, but then I remembered all of his posts (none with me to that point) and saw him for the little troll that he is.

It is amazing to be attacked by someone not even a part of your conversation. He must have some major issues, and I just happened to be handy to snap at.
