I'll admit to not possessing a good vocabulary, worldly knowledge and such….But it doesn’t mean you can’t make a statement and try to be heard….We all have our opinions and I’ve found that there are a lot of people who claim to be “well” educated yet have no common sense.

Bummer deal man. I think you should come around once in awhile yet. This one might shape up pretty well. Keep checkin' in once in awhile.

Common sense and education level are two very different "items" man

True...I should have said intelligence, not common sense.

emphasis mine

I couldn't agree more. I personally respect everyone's opinion whether I agree or not and whether they are educated/literate or not. To me it makes no difference, both are valuable.

@Shooter, I hope you do stick around to see how things are in the next while. I want to emphasize what Thane said earlier, that those of us who have been around for a while know the potential of this site and if you stick around for a while you might actually be surprised by the change. If not, all the best.

Quoting Chassisman:

Tell us all, what do you actually know about me?

To be honest, about as much as anyone here knows about me, Chassisman. For instance, does my stance against the war in Iraq or the policies of the Bush administration make me a supporter of Saddam Hussein or a "hate filled moon-bat leftist"? I've seen too many posts, such as post #7 by Thane in this thread, that would imply that I am such, when in fact I'm actually not. I'm speaking in general here, not specifically to or about you in particular. But I have to say that a person like myself will respond accordingly when another poster starts making comments about "America hating moonbat leftists" or mentally deranged socialists in response to a reasonable post by a liberal like myself. I am a jeweler and a stone cutter, I do make a profit and I do own the means of production of what I sell and I prefer to be the one who determines where, and from who, I purchase my rough and raw materials. That makes me a capitalist, Chassisman. Yet when I also show my support for the continued payment of taxes that go to help those less fortunate than myself what happens? The implication is made that I'm a supporter of government theft, a "commie/socialist" or some other totally off-base label by folks like Kinetic and some of our other more vehement conservative posters in this forum. If I state my position that I believe the current Zonist regime in Israel is committing an international crime for what they did in Lebanon and what they have done to the Palestinians an all-too-often assumption or insinuation is made that I must support the likes of Osama, Ahmedinejad or Hussein. I think those insinuations have been made all too often here from certain posters "on the Right" and I think, if you- or anyone- would take the time and exercise an appropriate level of open- mindedness they would see that what I am saying here is indeed the case. It is true that when thus judged one can expect to be judged accordingly and in like measure. It is also true that we are all judged by the company we keep, and this is true in a forum as well as in real life, and certain assumtions are likely to be made on those observations as well. I just read the posts in the "warning" thread and it has come to my attention that there has been a lot of complaining about certain posters in the "private" forum. Now I'm going to make an assumption here, but I'm willing to bet that most of the complaints made in that private forum have been made by conservative posters about the posts of the liberals in the open forum. Am I too far off with my assumption, Chassisman? I'm willing to bet I'm not.

I did make an assumption about you based on my observation of what you chose to state as your location. So I'd like to ask you a couple of honest questions, and I'm hoping to get an honest reply:

"Do you consider yourself a conservative Christian, and are you a Bush supporter and do you support the invasion and occupation of Iraq?"

I'm only asking because I want to hear, from the horses mouth so-to-speak, how accurate my assumption was about you based on my perception of what you chose to use as your location. Was I at least reasonably close?

I await your answer.

You mean, the all pervasive conspiracy? Tag teams boxing opponents into corners as was mentioned a while ago on another thread?

I'm a moderate conservative, non-Christian. I do not support Bush. I no longer support the invasion of Iraq, and never supported the occupation.

gem asked me:

"Do you consider yourself a conservative Christian, and are you a Bush supporter and do you support the invasion and occupation of Iraq?"

I am a conservative and a Christian, but not a "conservative Christian". I don't try to force feed my values to others, and won't be force fed a new set either.
I am no longer a Bush supporter, but not for reasons exclusive to Iraq. Bush is no conservative republican, which I consider myself to be. I could type till noon on what pisses me off about Bush, but that's not the topic at this point.
Saddam eventually had to go, but the Bush admin failed to consider what they were up against (culturally) before launching an invasion. Although I don't belive the Bush admin fabricated WMD intelligence, I am of the opinion that Dubya was looking for someone to punish for 9-11, and not being able to put his hands on the real enemy, he went for the next best thing, which was a potential threat.
If the UN wasn't an assembly of eunuchs, the world community could have disarmed Saddam of any WMD's, but as we all know, that wasn't going to happen. I supported the invasion when it went down because I knew the UN wasn't going to do jack shit, but at the same time (having extensive exposure to ME culture) I knew that much like VietNam, we would be waging war against an enemy that doesn't think like us westerners. Trying to give Iraq democracy made about as much sense as giving a duck a harmonica.

Summary:

conservative: yes
Christian: yes
consevative Christian: No
Bush supporter: ex Bush supporter
support invasion: no easy answer here
support occupation: no

I have been around long enough to know the USA has never had Tag-Team Boxing in its History, Pro-Wrestling is where you see it happen!

Conspiracy talk on a lot of subjects can land you in a Mental Institution! Blogging is the way to go as they consider your mumble-jumble, intelligent!

I notice you get upset when you can't defend your RagHead buddies, you get real personal and even threatning, which I find funny, do you stomp your wittle feet?? Could this be what Crystal means by deteriorating? Problem is, who is right or wrong in the Partisan mind??

Yes, Paw, you've been around for a long long time now.

Anyway, your point is?

Whassa matter, Paw. Goats give you a hard time?

No, the problem is that you've been been with too many goats already.

Well I for one will be curious to see how long this new leaf Thane seems to have turned over lasts. The other board must be getting really really boring.

Please advise.

Don't sweat who started it or are you telling him any talk about Liberals, means you go all Bad & mean like most girlie-boys do!
