I have grown very bored and slightly ill at the tone of the various political threads currently being debated. From talking about why recently deceased President Reagan is a complete bastard to hoping current President Bush dies from an assasin's bullet, the Liberals and Leftists et. al. are having field days spouting their particular brand of hate.
Have at it boys, I'm through(for a while).
Arguing with you is like arguing with a rock, a very dense, immovable rock and I have stopped being amused by how low the Left is willing to sink to win an argument or other contest.
At any rate, I feel that the atmosphere needs to be lightened a bit so I have gather some of Fark.com's best article's of the day.

Y'know, its funny. I hear the exact same thing from them about you.
I wonder why?
-
Our diametrically opposite political philosphy more than likely.
-
Well, I could say that its one side's failure to accept fact, but I won't. :p :p
-
ah, don't leave, we need the hard core mindless sheep of the Godly right idiocy to counteract the shrill and monotonus comunist propaganda for thought stupidity, it's like watching matter and anti-matter interact in a magical dance of peace an love, before mutualy anialateing eachother and anything else with in a mC^2 radius.

Ah yes their hate versus your hate. It is true though that anti-gay threads are more entertaining at times than anti-Bush ones. :)
Bobboau, do you think it'd be possible to harness that power? Then again the results could be devastating... :p
-
Didn't say I was leaving. I realized I have a more stimulating discussion talking with an0n and Tiara about Star Trek than I could hope to have with Rictor about Politics or Kazan about Religion.
I'm just tired of all the back-biting that goes on between people who probably have more in common than they know because they are always arguing about something, anything in some peoples cases.
I'm just going to concetrate on my education and maybe release something that's actually useful from a modding standpoint. WC's modular tables got me thinking.
Later Days!

I know I'm good but I didn't know I could be stimulating just by talking about Star trek :D
"I'm just that damned good." - ;7

Tiara: Owch! ;)

That's the sign of a good political debate. Ever been in one where one side just gave up and said, "Screw it, you're right."? Boooooooooooring. :p
-
In other words, he's tired of losing the argument. j/k lib.
Yeah, there are a lot of political debates, but that's good. U just never see me in them, my brain can't function at that level. I start to think "smart" and I pee on myself.
I gotta really feel passionate about it for me to waste the brain cells. Cells I rather use for other things, like look at porn.
-
Funnily enough, I support any course of action that shuts a neo-conservative christian up.
:yes:
-
Damn straight. I stopped trying to talk to you like a rational human bean, Lib, after your whole "I pity gays and want to cure them" thing :nod:
-
The problem is, everyone (myself included) is arguing to win, not to learn, which never leads anywhere. Everyone just tries to defend their points, and when they are proven wrong, they either leave or come up with a new line of thought to compensate.
Well, that, and the fact that I am a not only a master debater but a cunning lunguist as well. :nervous: :nervous:

Heinz are outta business over here you know - teh beans fought back.

That "trece" is supposed to be tres :p just to let you know :nervous:
Now, myself and many others weren't alive when Reagan was ruling America, so only those who did talk about him, were entitled to their opinion as are you. If you wish to disagree you can, but at least do it in the proper thread. About the "bush assassination" I find it sad that you believe we weren't joking (as most of us were). :wtf: :doubt:
As for the arguing, it is part of the democratic process (at least in my country!! :p), a very important part might I add. Without studburn people that have a diferent point of view, how are those views going to be presented to the ruling body? If that idea is wrong or there is one idea better, then.... well... survival of the strongest. A good discution always needs more than one "rock", or else it's not a discution but instead a monologue! By arguing over and over again, you will be... breaking (polishing) those rocks and eventually... well... someone prevails.
Thank you for the interesting articles and please continue sharing your points of views to the rest of this great community. :)

You're the one who decided to make an ass out of yourself, not us. Your the one who decided to start flaming people for having different political opinions than you. Yet now you start blaming us for your "ill tone"?

Rictor you are the wises of most people here I think...
your always saying something I agree with completely.
Yes good times... try counting the times I've been in religous discussions and completely got flamed. :D
-
At least you admit it when you get something wrong. Most people won't.
-
thanks :)
Well, its worth it... (getting flamed)
I learn alot that way, as Rictor said in his post "The problem is, everyone (myself included) is arguing to win, not to learn, which never leads anywhere. Everyone just tries to defend their points, and when they are proven wrong, they either leave or come up with a new line of thought to compensate." I try to see both sides the argument and when I see I'm wrong about something I'll admit it. But most of the time it kills me... for the reason that when people don't read the entire thread, they bring it up against me later on causing more confusion and more flames thrown at me... But I'm doing my best to see that never happens again ;)

I don't. If I am PROVEN wrong (with credible facts), then I will admit that I am wrong.

Exactly. But 99% of the time people argue with conjection and opinions. And I will not concede to such points.
