is it just me,.....or is the used the neil bortz of the forum?

Miltamec Soundsquinaez · 04-30-2008, 05:01 PM

heh, the only thing I like about Neil Bortz is his advocacy of the fair tax. Other than that I don't see your point.

but if you're telling me that I can't get you to admit to any R-wing bias, then I am greatly disheartened

This is the funniest thread I've seen in a while, if you're a fake, props.

After reading the first post, I, once again hate this guy. Stop posting what your parents discuss at the dinner table.

Edit: And, uh, maybe it's just because I live in Canada, but society seems pretty liberal.

Yes, God forbid anyone wants to discuss politics. We all know the right is always correct, and Fox are the greatest news source ever.

I firmly believe this forum is filled with sin and it saddens my fat, white, rich, christian heart deeply. Why would anyone want to believe anything different than I do?

Uh, I'm 27, so I doubt your above statement has any meaning.
Yeah, I'd say that would make a difference because you guys have nationalized health care, and much stricter gun control.
Also, I don't too much care what you think because you go around making lame attacks like 'this guy's an idiot' or 'I hate this guy'. This may come as a surprise to you, but the world doesn't revolve around you. I don't have to care too much what you think.

Your point is that Fox News is Bias? Who were you alerting with that rallying cry? Did anyone not know that?

Perhaps not everyone on this forum has seen Outfoxed. I haven't yet seen the whole thing. I gave a very good and recent example of their biases.

Do you honestly get your world view from the back of the car in front of you?And I'm inclined to agree with mr. dave on this one. You're rapid in your need to condemn the right while nary a liberal descent to speak of.

Yeah, I thought that W with a slash through it meant 'don't wash' for the longest time. Why wouldn't I condemn the right? I'm very passionate about getting one of the Democrats into the White House to end the war, or at least end combat action in Iraq. If we were able to put all the partisan L vs. R aside though, for this upcoming election as you've said, and the outcome of the election was based solely on issues and the candidates' stance on those issues, I would have no problem with it, regardless of who won.

Quote:

List me 5 distinct reasons Obama shouldn't be president.

He's got a horrendous jump shot. j/k
He lacks the experience and credentials of the other candidates.
He apparently wants to crack down on corporate interests and lobbying while his record would speak otherwise.
Those are 3 criticisms of him, but I wouldn't find 5 reasons he shouldn't be president because I think he should be president........get it?

Well its incredibly evident that you don't. We've argued against nearly every hollow presentation of "facts" you've come up with and yet you still refuse to concede. In fact, you think we're all dumber because we're not suicide bombing the fox corporation.

By your past statements, its easy to conclude you don't watch fox news.

By your own admission you haven't seen all of "outfoxed" and I suspect nothing else that disrupts their assertions of "fair and balanced" like the F.A.I.R. report.

And given that you're listing the above mentioned things as a reason for why he's "bias" against your opinion (which is laughable), I'll remind you being the worldly chap that you are that I'm a U.S. citizen by all accounts, our gun control is viciously enforced, and our health care system is one of the more advanced int he country.

As we live in the same country, how would you refute these arguments which were dismissed prior due to a paltry cop-out?

You came up with 2 reasons Barrack Obama shouldn't be president. I've cast a vote for the man and I could muster up more than that.

Its not that you want him elected stupid, its that you can't see the issue from all sides. If you can't do that, you ought not to speak on the issue.
