Ten-year-old Won't Recite Pledge Until Gays Can Marry

And that proves it's not jingoistic bollocks how? Unless you're the guy McCain was talking about, I'll trust the guy who got blown up for his fellow soldiers over a guy who's doing everything, including selling every last shred of integrity, just to get a promotion.  (Wednesday Nov 18 | post #967)

Bill Maher: Climate Change Deniers Are "So Stupid They Make ME ...

Nope, sorry, grew up on Air Force bases and every member of my family has been in one branch or another. And no, sorry, your supposition vis a vis military voting is purely anecdotal as everyone that *I* grew up with voted as Democrats. As a side note, why are you trying so hard to project your military-drone theory onto me since you're the one who put it forth? Honestly, if you WERE in the Navy, then good on you, but I hate to break it to you, since I grew up in a military household, you're not really gonna garner any sympathy from me in either direction. And if you're actually trying to suggest that being in the military makes your opinion BETTER than anyone else's then perhaps you are more guilty of drone-like behavior than those you vilify.  (Wednesday Nov 18 | post #2033)

Bill Maher: Climate Change Deniers Are "So Stupid They Make ME ...

Yeah, that doesn't really wash. I mean if your supposition were true, no one would still be trying to reject Evolution. No, the facts remain that Climate Change is a real problem and the reason people are still opposing it is that there are people who are stunningly horrified by the concept that their actions may have negative repercussions.  (Wednesday Nov 18 | post #2032)

Blacks Far More Satisfied With U.S. Under Obama

I've always found it odd that those who are lacking in information try to defend their willful ignorance by trying to mistake reason with excuse.  (Wednesday Nov 18 | post #679)

I did understand what you were saying, I just found your lack of knowledge rather incredible. And then I realized that it was all based on a innate racism and it all became clear.  (Wednesday Nov 18 | post #678)

Wait, we're in debt? When did that happen? I mean, I went to sleep back in 2000 and we had a surplus! Where the hell did it go?  (Wednesday Nov 18 | post #505)

Ten-year-old Won't Recite Pledge Until Gays Can Marry

It's weird but when I asked my grandfather who received a Silver Star in WWII about the Pledge, he stated that it was a load of jingoistic bollocks. So, yeah, pretty sure I'll take his word over yours on this one...  (Wednesday Nov 18 | post #950)

Obama bows, the nation cringes

In essence, what makes the extreme right so angered is that we now have a POTUS who's decided that, just perhaps, not being a total douchebag might actually be a good idea.  (Wednesday Nov 18 | post #219)

So this kid decided to do something incredibly rational in protest of something incredibly stupid by refusing to do something incredibly pointless. What's the problem?  (Wednesday Nov 18 | post #514)

Ooooh, I get it. So NOW your argument is now that all of that is "over", everything should have immediately gone to sweetness and light, filled with candy and unicorns, and it's all the fault of those darkies that there's still violence on the continent.  (Wednesday Nov 18 | post #651)

Bill Maher: Climate Change Deniers Are "So Stupid They Make ME ...

Okay, so basically it all comes down to either trying to deflect the discussion onto something other than climate change (Brian) or just flat-out ignoring reality and throwing out really fail attempts at humor (I.A.D.) Either way, they both prove that the arguments are merely empty and fatuous. They've both had the data placed before them, but for whatever personal reasons they've decided to ignore it all and hold tightly to their own delusions. That's fine, that's all good. Hell, I hope I.A.D. keeps spamming the same lame smeg because all it does is prove just how vacuous the denial argument truly is.  (Wednesday Nov 18 | post #2013)

Oh, well, never mind. Here I was thinking that Apartheid was somehow bad but evidently it helped keep the peace and made for a better world 'cause black people are just too sub-human to be able to control themselves. I'm so glad you're here to clear these things up for us...  (Tuesday Nov 17 | post #631)
