What of those that judge other people's opinions? Is there any Mad Michael-ism you'd like to share about that? |

If, however, I think interesting points are being made or an interesting topic discussed, I'm happy to offer perspectives. So, if you find my reluctance to take you seriously disturbing, perhaps you should tone down the generally hysterical, "The-sky-is-falling" tone of your posts. Of course, I doubt you would be inclined to do this on my account, and I don't really expect you to. But that doesn't alter the fact that I will continue to feel free to critique any and all posts as I please.

Re: Was Waco a warning of what Stalinism will be like?
By the way, does anyone else think it's going to be funny when conform and ironman figure out that they are utter and complete political opposites? There seems to be a strong alliance forged out of a complete misunderstanding here...

Unlike Mad Michael, I do feel politics is about opinions and views and perhaps an educated opinion and view is probably what he was trying to express but went wayward and said that opinions itself is wrong. Oh well... So if you don't have an educated opinion on the subject, how did you know he was just wrong? People have different was of expressing themselves and I undestood what he was getting at and so did you - you were just bored and decided to attack his 'words'. |

Re: Was Waco a warning of what Stalinism will be like?
I don't know that he is 'wrong'. What I do know is that the style of his post was rambling and incoherent, the tone of his post was hostile and combative, and the very essence of it seemed designed to be a rant, rather than a discussion starter. I'm not particularly interested in picking through lines of gibberish in the hope of discovering some sort of valid point. If anything were to be accomplished by my 'critique' perhaps he could pick one point and make it in an understandable way. I wasn't holding out much hope, but there wasn't anything to lose.

At least he has balls to express himself. I've never seen you create a thread at all. Maybe you have, but I'm sure it wouldn't be anything related to you strongly disagreeing to something. Maybe I'm wrong. Can you show me a thread you created that initiated a conversation about something you feel strongly about? Please link it. I'd like to see it. |

Here is but one example: Is Lying Immoral?
True, no sinister conspiracies involved, but there it is. Matt

Your friend already got me earlier, so you should be able to cease whining and proceed on with your boring Liberal Drivel! Why do I put Caps on words? Its not proper English, its for EFFECT!! Are You a Daley Liberal there in Chicago? How do they get those Dead people to the Polls to Vote with Dogs and Cats? I worked the Sears Tower in 73-74, just before completion, and that was delightful walking the girders on a windy day from a 1000 ft up! I knew who Joe Stalin was when I was a real little Kid in the 40's, and his Policies killed more innocents than Saddam or Pol Pot! Yea I know a lot about AMERICA, and I even went to the Service, to defend our principles, under a Liberal POTUS! (BIG MISTAKE)Now you may be brighter but don't come off you intellectually superior, because if You were, you wouldn't be a Liberal!

Please cite the specific passage where I stated that "opinions itself is wrong". That should be good for some further amusement. |

Is lying immoral?
I'm glad I didn't jump into that hotbed of controversy. As a poster expresses himself about the Waco, TX event, he is being judged by an intellect that has finally come to the conclusion that lying just might be bad. He was just cruising for a bruising with that thread. I'm suprised no one got hurt in that thread. If this forum was a football game, he would be a spectator judging all the players. |

For your information, a liberal-political perspective corelates very closely (significantly that is) with higher education. Conservative-political perspectives corelates rather closely with less education. But please feel free to supply a brilliant counter-argument. And please, proper English if you want to be taken seriously. |
