Lawyers, thieves, politicians, the above poster is representative of all three.


"Bob", look to Wednesday the 30th for potential range time. I have scheduled the day off.

Fill your hands you son of a %itch!

Who are you talking to?

Probably you although it doesn't make much sense. He seemed to sum up his tone pretty well though: "angry" and "bitter" indeed.

If uncelar, I ws referring to the soulless one that is Inquisitor Bob.

Agreed. It's their right as a parent to screen, but in this case some of it also happens to be petty. Hell, I didn't like Bush 43 at all...but the man was the POTUS and if he had a message for schoolchildren I'd surely have allowed my child to watch it.

Do we have that little respect for office in this country anymore? Seems like we've seen quite a surge in "he's not my President" attitudes on both sides of the political spectrum in recent years. Or am I imagining it?

Hey Guys!
I logged off and saw emails to postings I did not send. I came on this site to learn about Warhammer. Politics is not my thing. I emailed the moderators. I have only been on here a day!!! Check my other postings,non are confrontational. I even saw my profile was messed with. I just fixed it.

I've noticed something similar.

I mean, there's always been a lot of bile from the other party, but it seems really bad in Late Bush/Early Obama.

I hope you didn't buy anything online while on that computer, then.

Malfred,
No but it is a public computer, LOL, thanks.

Of course the comments made by one leftist reflects on the comments of another leftist. That's what makes them both leftists.

Thanks for admitting what you did. Now FOAD.

Classy.

Besides breaking some rules of etiquette I think that last part also breaks some forum posting rules so be careful.

You are falling into the old trap of assigning something to a person making an argument. Arguing that not everyone left of center (or even extreme right) can't be lumped together that easily and someone pointing that out doesn't have to be a leftist either. Conservatives understand this this basic principle as well. The "left" is not a homogenous group any more than the "right" and where someone is on the scale also determines their perspective. If you are on the far end even someone on your side of the scale but not as far may be considered left leaning. A moderate Republican will be seen by a fascist as being left leaning even though he is right of center.

I really don't like the OT Forum.

(This is, after all, Frazz's own demented kingdom...)

Having said that, the rules of Dakka still apply here, by and large.

You all know what that means, right?

Lock?

FOAD!

FOAD EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!

He hit me first!

Oh alright... I'll be good.

Well... I logged in to drop a joke and cool of the buns in the oven... because someone has been sitting on the burners periodically...

But anyway, here is the joke that was no longer needed... FOAD... hmm, I wonder what that.... hmmm, indeed.



Anger leads to slightly skewed images... which reminds me to have a BBQ... which reminds me to ask my buddies to grab some BBS sauce... Thank you Dakka!

I shouldn't ask but what is FOAD? Do I need to unleash necromancer puppy?

Well if I were to put it artistically... it would involve:

At least one part rage. (F: Feth)

At least one part direction (O: Off, remote toggle, etc...)

At least one part and... (A: and... and plus as well)

At least one part petrification (D: rot, die, smell funny, smell bad, walk and talk like a cinnamon bun.)



Meh... the sky was actually falling, and I forgot my bucket...

It's a polite term... Friendly Opposition And Disagreement.

Indeed.

Modquisition on. As our other Moderator noted, lets remain polite people.

Unless we're discussing haggis, in which case all bets are off.

Friendly Opposition And Disagreement to you too, wrex.

Enough or the thread is closed and disciplinary proceedings will ensue.

IBL!

And yet potentially very different people. So different in fact that one might be a hypocrite, and the other might not be a hypocrite; rendering the critique of '"leftists are hypocrites" completely worthless. You don't get to attribute personal characteristics to an entire side of the political spectrum, not without appearing very foolish anyway.

For example, Trotskyists, Leninist, and Marxists are all leftisits. They also tend to disagree on a lot of things, sometimes most of them.

Yeah, it sucks when someone understands your argument better than you do. You said this isn't a matter of sides, and then proceeded to establish a set of sides while conveniently excluding yourself from any of them. You must be quite the prescient little man to be able to transcend all influence.
