Dan Gross Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 If you want to have an intelligent debate on the candidates, come on over to PPP and I'll indulge you. Because it's not going to happen in this thread with this audience... 51370[/snapback] Yeah, 'cuz over here on the Wall we're nuthin' but a bunch of techalazical backwoods morons!

_BiB_ Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Actually...yeah, people are saying that. I'm sure - dead positive, actually - that there's voters out there who'll vote for Bush because he's "keeping the queers in check" or the like. None I respect (well...a few. I can understand why a gay couple would vote for Kerry based on that issue alone, having a vested interest in it), mind you...but they're out there. But my POINT was (as I think you know) that someone who claims the debates are a waste of time because he's informed enough is a fool...especially when he's not fully informed on his candidate. Is DOMA a major issue? For some...mostly either gays (who I have nothing against) or homophobes (who need to stop worring about what other men do with their penises). I chose it merely because Kerry's position on it is quite possibly the most convoluted and self-contradictory of all his positions (save maybe taxes)...and I felt that someone who had such full knowledge of his candidate that he could leave everything forthcoming to the "backwoods morons" should be able to answer it. But hey, if he has to resort to mental illness jokes...I guess that's a sound basis for casting a vote, too... If you want to have an intelligent debate on the candidates, come on over to PPP and I'll indulge you.

Nothing that matters much to the next four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Tom, the simple fact is, you brought up the n-word - most likely the most vile word in the english language - out of NO WHERE. If I want to have an intelligent debate, it will NOT be with someone who does that. Sure, calling people "backwoods morons" is not PC (hey, its not even nice), but associating it with that word and then expect people to take you seriously? Please. 51377[/snapback] What are you talking about? I never typed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_BiB_ Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Not enough tequila in the world... 51384[/snapback] You could always just ignore Kerry. Whatever position he takes he's just going to change anyway. You really know and understand the issues? Why not pop over to PPP? It could get done here, but the PPP is for that purpose. Anything that turns political gets shuffled there anyway. I haven't had anyone new to explain global terrorism to in quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need to go into the realm of a bunch of guys who think they know politics. My sister is a Politcal Science Professor. If i really ever have a pressing question about anything, I just ask her.

If you want to have an intelligent debate on the candidates, come on over to PPP and I'll indulge you. Because it's not going to happen in this thread with this audience... 51370[/snapback] My point is, and I think you affirm it, is that nobody has a full grip on all their candidates position. Most people will pick two or three issues that are close to them and decide on those. BOTH candidates are convulted and self-contradictory on many positions. (Yes Republicans, Bush does flip-flop, like all politicians do). In the 2000 debates, Bush claimed to be against nation building. How has that played out? I doubt, though, that Bush's flip-flop will prevent any Republicans from voting for him. Bush and Cheney don't seem to agree on the gay marriage amendment. Will that cost them votes? Anyway, like you, I believe that the debates could be important, but in reality, they'll probably be worthless. And I avoid the PPP board, because I've found that intelligent debate is difficult with that audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realize in the heat of the moment you probably shouldnt have typed out that word? Poor tom. . . tough guy, uses the N-word (and the word spic, and another terrible term) but 5 minutes later has to hide behind pretending that i used them. Sorry pal, not gonna work.

Saying something like "backwoods moron" in alot of little towns in this country is just as likely to get your guts stomped out as using the word you supposedly despise so much.
