The other TW - Oddly enough, I feel flattered that you'd consider plagiarising me (although plagiarising is SUCH an ugly word). Thanks for the comments, and I think EVERYONE has "one of those days." I sometimes forget to eat and sleep, which complicates things a bit.
I thank you for that, and I'm currently hoping you're right. It's up to everyone else though, at this point. You're welcome to post in my blog at any time (that goes for everyone who reads this).
Well, thanks... both to TW and msladydeath for replying. I'm not getting any people like thatoneguyinslc or drmiller (who replied on my other article) or Grim for that matter... but that could be a function of a number of things. My daily mirror article was summarily ignored, for the most part, though... so I think I'm pretty safe. TW: are you sure you read <a href="https://www.p
I was referring to another article I wrote on here, TW. does anybody care about this? . I remembered the post I made on your other thread, the one about your husband? So that's where this all came from. I hope this clears it up, but I'll wait and see.
TW, I replied on your blog before so I've decided to reply here. Regarding my article: I'm sorry... I just had several long, hard, and extremely emotional discussions with my mother, my sister, and a few of my friends over this whole thing, and I guess I kinda went into rant mode. Am I calm now? I don't know. Why am I apologizing to you? I don't know. Should I apologize for what I believe and say? I don't know. But I do
Man, now I wanna read it. Ah yes, we liberals tend to vex everything we touch. Better watch out or I'll hex ya.
Try going to a pub. That's what I did. Beer works great. Especially guinness. BakerStreet: I ain't got no boogey men up my sleeve.
I guess my efforts at talking some sense into this guy haven't worked. Even IF this article was accurate, and even IF there was some conspiracy theory present, the fact of the matter is: Kerry conceded. Bush won. There's no use arguing that one, important point. You can, if you want, go on linking all the articles that you want but it won't change the facts of the matter and it won't rewind time. Factually speaking, my two "if" statements at
Dude, really, I'm as upset over this loss as the next guy is, but... Bush won. I'm havin' to deal with it. I've gone into rant mode myself, but I can't deny Kerry lost. I've taken a "sit down, but don't shut up" approach to this whole thing. You can, however, admit that Bush won and stop this Ohio recount stuff. There is no conspiracy theory, it was just high voter turnout, and the Republicans are the ones who showed up. Accept that much and maybe som
Did that link not work on purpose or was it just a mistake?
So you do or don't agree with abortion in cases of rape or incest? And at what point during a woman's pregnancy would you stop supporting an abortion because there is a risk she'd die from giving birth? As a Democrat and a self-proclaimed Pro Choicer, I don't really see that I have a right to say ANYTHING about this. The fact being that... I'm a man. It's a woman's issue, and we should let the women decide how to deal with it. If women want to outlaw o
Thanks, I'll leave out the six pack... heck, I'll leave out the keg. Do you mind Guinness?
Okay, fine, let's go on a crusade around the world. Let's go into every country with a dictator that abuses and mistreats his people. Let's clean up the world's problems, let's give 'em good old fashioned American democracy, and while we're at it, let's give 'em a Bible and tell 'em the Lord Jesus is their savior. In fact, I have a motto for this worldwide crusade: America - Coming Soon to a Neighborhood Near You!
"No I don't care and I believe you will find yourself in the minority on this" Maybe so, but I'm willing to accept that. I'm willing to be vocal about what I believe in and whether or not I gain support is a side issue at this point. I'm a bit interested in why you don't care, and why you've chosen to close your mind and heart. "You don't HAVE to
I don't think I have a stranglehold on the truth, and yet time after time I hear how WRONG I am and how *I* should be the one to face the truth. I think Grim put it the best way though. But then we could get into a whole discussion about what is truth and who defines truth etc. and eventually one of us is going to bring up movie quotes and possibly even song or bible quotes. I'm not trying to prove anything except that the original article is how peopl
If the Majority is always right, then how come Al Gore wasn't elected president, hmm? Don't bring up the Electoral College, etc. I'm talking about the POPULAR vote. I'm not shutting out your opinion, Mitch. Your comments are welcome on my thread (as I don't have a personal blog nor do I think I want one). I must admit that the whole bridge argument is being a little technical. My point was about peer pressure, following the mob mental
I'm sorry, but if 59 miillion people told me to go jump off a bridge, I wouldn't do it. My point is that the majority is not ALWAYS right. Thomas Jefferson himself said "A Democracy is nothing more than a mob rule, where 51 percent of the people may take away the rights of the other 49." Well... 55 million people voting against Bush is nothing to sneeze at. However, this is the message I'm getting so far: we don't care, you don't matter, shut up. Well,
This is from "The Daily Mirror," a paper in Great Britain (one of our "greatest allies") "THEY say that in life you get what you deserve. Well, today America has deservedly got a lawless cowboy to lead them further into carnage and isolation and the unreserved contempt of most of the rest of the world. This once-great country has pulled up its drawbridge for another four years and stuck a finger up to the billions of us forced to share the
Hear, hear! Not much really to add to this. Great article, Bungy32.
Meowy: um, perhaps you haven't heard: Link I voted for Kerry too, but it's over.
Daiwa, I'm really glad you said that above. I voted Kerry and had this knot in my stomach waiting for the gloating to come. I am pleasantly surprised that there has been little to none. Mostly, a good number of Republicans seem a bit reflective at this moment, making comments about wondering how we heal the nation and such. I can admit that I was proven wrong about this whole ordeal, and formally say that I'm sorry for that.
Texas Wahine, I know I don't know you, and you (probably) don't know me, but I just wanted to say that my heart (and prayers, if I may be so bold) go out to you. In a certain aspect, war IS inevitible just like zombie said, but he already said it better than I could so I'll leave that to him. I voted for John Kerry in this election, and I too am disheartened by the results. However, I think it's im
With all due respect, whether or not we can heal this divided country depends on a number of factors, including: 1) A willingness to cross party lines and listen to both sides and their issues. 2) An end, for the love of all good, to the name-calling, the mudslinging, and the prejudices of and by both parties against both parties. 3) A concentrated effort by the Government to uphold the Constitution of the United States, including (but
Kerry just called Bush to concede: Link
As those of you who know me, um, know, I am an avid Democrat who voted for Kerry. Bush won. Plain and simple. I don't like it, but it's what I'm having to deal with and live with right now. I don't really appreciate the rubbing in the face, but hey, the truth can be the hardest thing to take sometimes. John Kerry might as well have shot himself in the foo
