Absolutely right, Maud Dib, because it's not "personally trolling other farkers" when you do it.

Well, the usual suspect for this sort of thing would be that piece of shiat Lieberman.

Well, okay, General Zang, Lieberman said something, but were there any Democrats?

Not as far as I know.

You expect any less from liberals on Fark? If you wanted to really insult them, you would tell them to take a bath, get a job that involved wearing decent clothes, or go talk ackwardly to a girl.

Because you came onto a political thread and made a complete and total ass of yourself by making an unfunny joke in bad taste? Seriously, dude, you earned it. When you act like a retarded 11 year old child, expect to be treated as such.

You're no Weaver. You're a child. Grow up.

It's amazing how much street cred Weaver95 has gained since he became Parallax here on FARK.

Hopefully you recognise me as someone who REALLY appreciates when you actually have something to say, even when we disagree. I think that they might be mocking the lack of substance in your recent posts, including the ones in this thread. The gleeful mocking of something that is presented poorly, but is obviously factually correct has been shown to be a common method to attempt to discredit the correct information contained therein by discrediting the presentation. You introduced the poorly presented penis joke, and unfortunately, that's just not what I would call high discourse.

I've appreciated many of your comments in the past, and we agree on many social issues, but when it comes to blind partisanship is where our paths diverge. I'm beholden to no-one, and I make that clear. It may seem that I am criticizing the Republicans, but in reality, I am criticizing those in power. Right now, they're the same, so to you it seems an unfair distribution of criticism, but the responsibility for the current situation in our government can no longer be attributed to a lame duck president who didn't have a majority in Congress for the last 6 of his 8 years, because of the Contract with America. I'd like to see that contract fulfilled.

I'll say it, and I have said it in the past: Your arguements and facts are just not what they once were. You're a VERY smart individual when it comes to many things, but I've noticed as your party comes under more and more scrutiny, your posts become more shrill and less substantive.

To be more honest than polite, it smells of fear.

I'll admit, I have done well financially in the past 6 years. I might have done better with a different executive group, but I certainly can't blame them for cutting into my personal portfolio. Considering that, I can honestly say I would have prefered and currently prefer a different group of leaders, even if I would have not fared so well, as long as I could feel that the government wasn't growing beyond control and without limits. I would give up those gains to feel that the Government wasn't lying outright to my face, and screaming me down when I pointed it out.

Out-andout, I'd have preferred Jeb. GWB just seems too eager to "care" for me and doesn't trust the will of people, since he has spent so much of his life giving in, and then completely resisting his own. I'd prefer someone a bit more well adjusted.

Actually, if you had read his posts carefully, he has remained AMAZINGLY consistent. He supported the administration when they were still speaking of small government and election reform and freedoms, well before the knowledge that the government might be presenting information to the constituents that give it power in a non-truthful manner. He's not someone I can agree with on many things, but I can say he's been consistent throughout.

He hasn't waivered. It seems that the administration might have. You might want to look into why you find his consistency as a change. I don't think agreeing with someone or a group of people is a legitimate belief. It is simply believing what you are told. It is a religion. Believing in concepts and ideals with or without a party's affiliation is real strength of character, but only in my opinion.

That's is also why, in my opinion, he has garnered so much "street cred". It is because he stuck to what he said. He didn't start screaming down people, or trying to throw hundreds of Plato's fallacies just to SEEM elite or intellectual. He stayed honest.

That's why. Not that you were REALLY confused.

Turing_Machine: That's why. Not that you were REALLY confused.


I'll tell you what makes me REALLY confused: This sentence.

Billdozer
This sentence.

I was trying to emphisize that I doubted you were really confused as to why he had gathered such "street cred", not emphasize the importance of the word "really".

I apologise for any confusion I caused. Sometimes, I write in a very confusing syncopation, and I'm working on it. I try to write well, but that's about all I can do to get the major points across.

Again, sorry for the confusion.

I guess the other link from last week wasn't enough on this
