Why are we here?

Sometimes, but not often the radicalism is posed. A psychologist friend of mine who began lurking these sites because of my involvement says it is a way for very "committed people" to voice feelings that would be viewed as unacceptable in face to face life or what I call 3D. In a way it's a kind of comfort food, a place where you can be validated in your belief Nazism was the world's greatest loss....I can give you the site.

For others, it is a means of contributing, positively or negatively in the system that is either failing them or saving them, and in this forum some people who truly are fighting for their country. Me? Entertainment.

You "ignore" by clicking on the posters avatar, going to their site and clicking on "add to ignore list". Their comments are then hidden from your view. I find it saves a lot of time and headaches dealing out the irrelevant, trolls, ignorant and people who call women whores sluts and co forth. Like you I am extremely intolerant of bigotry and have little time for character assassination. If a poster can't argue on merit, they have no value to my entertainment.

BTW, Sarah Palin's policies are just about as close as you could get to the opposite of mine. All I know is there is a segment of America in whom there is an intense, unhealthy hatred...a personal hatred that I find sickening.

That's interesting. Luckily for me I don't have any views that need validation. I have my views, they could change, some can not and I simply know there is a lot I don't know ;)

I have to say entertainment is probably my top reason to be here also. But like you I want some real conversation and I want to learn/see others views, as long as they are honest views.

Thanks for the info on ignore, I might have a candidate already that has already shown that they probably have no interest in any honest conversation. I could be wrong but as soon as people just start making stuff up its a pretty dead give away. This is my first political based board but not my first rodeo. :)

And yes I agree again about blind hatred . . .I don't see it as much with Palin anymore because she is kind of meaningless right now but I do remember it. Even many people that lean conservative like myself. Currently it's with Obama, as it typically is with WHOEVER the president is but some of it is pretty vile.

There's a lot of thinks that I personally disagree with and don't view as favorable but I would NEVER deny people rights or want them treated as they were beneath me. That's what I find sickening.

Payback for what? I haven't made any bigoted remarks. And there are ways to "be against intolerance" without likening people to murderers and child molesters. Surely you understand this.

If you do remember the days of being forced to sit at the back of the bus, I'd urge you to also remember the example of those most responsible for leading the fight to the front. Good day.

That's where one of your mistakes was, nobody "likened" them to those things bases on feelings or opinion. Those people likened themselves together based on their own actions. They all want to violate people's rights and want to treat them as objects that are beneath them.

Correct they (the bigots) did that with their actions, if their actions were NOT the same there would be no resemblance. Pretty simply concept.

Your lack of knowledge is telling.
Taylor clearly provided the generally accepted definition. You replied with a very limited one.
Whether you know it or not, that is you arguing. That is an argument which you made.

Websters is where I got it from but the definition has nothing to do with anything since I made no argument.

Wrong.
You argued agaisnt it's full meaning. It applies to one side just as much as it applies to the other.

Yes that seems to be your problem.

Do you really not understand that?

Stop being dishonest.
You snidely suggested he didn't know what he was speaking about and then provided a limited definition to support such an asinine suggestion.

It never said there were no sides to anything hahaha.

More dishonesty.
You clearly indicated that you are not the intolerant one, yet by definition it applies to any intolerance from either side.
And yet it appears you somehow think that it does not apply to those opposing the opposition. :doh.

I never once mentioned your question. Only your position in regards to intolerance, which you have shown, you are just as intolerant and bigoted as the other side.

Correcting incorrect arguments is not trolling.

I was referring to the actions of the person who logged onto this discussion board as "LaylaWindu" and wrote "it's some of the lowest forms of people we have in america, right down there with murders, rapists, and women/child abusers."

But hey, your shortcomings as a poster are not the subject of this thread, and I've spent too much energy as it is trying to get a rational response from someone who likens other posters to rapists and murderers, so consider this my last post on the subject.

Feel free to follow up with whatever inane "run away because you know I'm right" attempt at saving face you wish to use.

Yes a true statement proven by the actions of all those people . .. .
Does that accurate classification confuse you? Are you saying accuracy is intolerance?
I'm still waiting for a person called "taylor" to point out my intolerance they claimed I have, why do you keep running from that?
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses

Taylor said:
If you believe that comparing people to "murders (sic), rapists and women/child abusers" is preaching tolerance, I'd hate to see what you view as "intolerant." That post of yours was the single-most intolerant post in this thread.

Disagreement: "why aren't you tolerating my intolerance" is not particularly compelling.

The kicker is we are actually tolerating it . . . . We aren't trying to deny them their rights but they want to deny rights to others. And when that fact is pointed out the claim is that's bigotry . . riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Nobody takes stupid claims like that seriously.

O no, forgive me I am a senior....

But I forgot ego. a lot of people are here to make themselves bigger by putting down others. It is worst in literary and writing sites, but still be prepared to be lectured on occasion.

Having been a political journalist for 25 years, I have no patience for personal attacks; it is about whether the person has what it takes to do the job. Period.

I also cringe at the attacks on a president's spouse, and only hold quiet now after some of the things that were published about Nancy Reagan even as late as Clinton's second run; and of course the hounding of Michelle. Granted she is not a particularly bright person but her looks have nothing to do with anything.

My criticisms of Obama are legion, as they were with Bush. I have assailed his character from the view that his character and thin skin have kept the country moribund.

I try to smile when I get accused of being racist when critical of Obama and remember my late wife; whenever anyone would accuse me of being anywhere near a racist she would say "Damn right he is! He married a Chinese! Not only that, he has two Chinese kids!"

Oh yeah, I can expect lectures huh? Well I can easily admit Ill probably get some lectures because I do speak my mind quite a bit. I am quick to call something stupid and what not and I probably shouldn't but bigotry and hate is stupid and I probably won't ever stop calling it that haha I'm younger and still full of vinegar sooooooo. . . . sometimes its hard not to.

But a simple difference of opinion is fine by me its one of the reasons I'm here..

As for attacking Michelle looks that's silly, first off I think she is attractive, her mouth can be a little weird at times but I don't find her ugly at all. Secondly if that is something one want's to attack isn't she at least the most attractive since Jackie? Just saying that its an illogical attack on many fronts.

Next criticizing Obama is certainly not racists and those types of accusations are silly, are there many people that do criticize him because he is half black? absolutely but that by no means he is free from criticisms.

Lastly, good for you on the "yellow love" as my sister in law calls her and my brothers relationship hahaha. And for the record I too have dated outside my race because that's one of the last things that matters in a relationship.

WOW the best part is I was trying to figure out where that post came from.
He edited afterwards and I didn't notice. It always easy yo see when a person has no honest path to take and retort.
Also I asked in other threads, is it common for people to just post blatant lies like that? Can you recall where I likened a specific "poster" to rapist and murders? I missed that post, maybe my twin sister made it. Hahaha
