Perhaps you could amuse yourself instead with a more subtle campaign.
Was that against the rules?

I'm not subtle, just honest and blunt and outspoken. I was just wondering why you've changed your posting style. No big deal. I remember a really great and interesting poster a year ago. I'm not playing any games. I seriously was taken aback by the way you're more interested in mocking and attacking posters instead of discussing the topics. This is about posting style. Not games or rule breaking.

OK - back to the topic.

Obama wants our children to learn other languages so they can be successful in their lives.

I don't see the problem.

As I've said, Sam, I'm not interested.

@Lost Soul, I dig the Simpson's reference amid the newest batch of whining martyrdom.

Yeah, we don't dig personal attacks. We'd rather post about the topic of the thread.

I agree with Obama that the children of the USA should learn another language.

Well at least your hatred and wish to commit homicide doesn't get in the way of your passion for education.

Once again you attack me for posting the my opinion.

Little man, I don't whine. I am speaking the truth weather you choose believe it or not. You are no better than Moon or Sheriff. The only difference is, you have fooled someone here to think you are worthy of being a mod when you are the worst mod here when it comes to practicing the rules you are to enforce.

Indeed.

I do hate anyoone who would feel they have some right to enter this country illegally and bleed it dry. I believe we have the responsibility to keep that from happening, and to employ whatever measures are necessary to keep it from happening.

Calling it "homicide" is pretty stupid and, honestly, I thought I could've expected better from you...

How about the ones that come here and work really hard and pay social security taxes on a fake ID so the money goes in and they never get it back?

Do you love them?

I'd say homicide is the correct term for shooting an unarmed person coming across the border. Yeah, it's the right word....

Well he must be doing something right as a troll on the left and a troll on the right both seem be flabbergasted by him....

Its always a case of not discussing a member, apart from when you and your new best friend wanna discuss the moderator.

Ah, I love the Obamabots. Teaching children to be bilingual or multilingual is a noble ideal. The problem lies with the fact that he specifically told people make their children learn Spanish (implying that they should adapt to the newcomers, rather than the other way around) and that he then told them that they were wrong to worry about newcomers learning English. If that's not a problem, why the need to learn Spanish?

"Little man"???? OMG!!! I'm laughing my ass off here since you don't seem to realize that the good doctor is one of the most respected posters here.

Did they come here legally?

No??

Fuck 'em.

I will have nothing but the utmost respect for someone who enters this country legally. I would be hard-pressed to care about any others...

Oh, I have no doubt you'd say that.

But, like most other things you say, it would be wrong...

I can't think of a better word for killing somebody if it isn't self defense honestly.
