peacefuljeffrey 0 #51 July 12, 2004 Quotewow. you seem so angry. Well, it's true I was born with an analytical mind that doesn't let me just coast through life. I notice too much stuff, and yeah, some of it makes me angry. I would not characterize myself though, in general, as an "angry person." And I have to say that what comes across from me on this forum is a weighted representation of only one side of my personality. I guess it's where I vent the part that needs to be critical, and the impression that is given is "angry." But sometimes I'm agreeable and friendly: go figure.

You need to keep this in context. The article was from the NY Post which is a Murdoch owned (Fox News style) biased tabloid. Here is an article from CNN that does not sound quite so hysterical: http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/07/09/kerry.concert.ap/index.html It is funny how these right wingers here whine about the more hateful comments. Just look how they talk about Clinton --------------------------------------------------------- When people look like ants - pull. When ants look like people - pray.

PhillyKev 0 #60 July 12, 2004 QuoteTime Magazine has an interesting metric for this - a "degree of opposition", where the amount or percentage of difference of opinion on candidates or issues is gauged (please see last week's issue - the one with Thomas Jefferson on the cover). According to Time, the amount and ferocity of the dichotomy of viewpoints is at an all-time high - the polarity of viewpoints has never been more extreme; id est, there is very little common ground. It's a damn good thing we have The Uniter as president, imagine what it would be like if he weren't? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And to think that you guys recon this democracy of yours is a shininng example to the rest of the world... I think that comes out in any two party system. I wonder how it would turn out if we used a parliamentary system like your's where the executive branch is chosen [effectively] by the legislature. More power, but less checks.

kelpdiver 2 #63 July 12, 2004 QuoteThat's not the kind of judgment I want in a president. It would be like if you walked into your high school principal's office and caught him and a few teachers looking at kids' photos in the yearbook and ranking them out, ridiculing them mercilessly. How highly would you think of your principal then? Are you implying that Bush should be considered a student, and the Hollywood entertainers are the principals of his school charged with raising him? I don't quite understand why you take these attacks so personally when you didn't even witness them. You are not Bush, and he is no saint. You won't worship a God, but you give him too much leeway, I fear. Live your own life. And be content that he's pretty likely to win reelection.

TypicalFish 0 #64 July 12, 2004 I think the part that is really interesting about this thread is that it misses the simplest point of all: In the big picture, what the Hollywood bubbleheads think is pretty irrelevant. Most people don't "vote their star"; and I think you would find that corporate contributions to campaigns FAR outweigh anything that Tinseltown can produce. Let them have their self-important moment; when what they say or do has no real effect on the world as a whole outside of Malibu Canyon and the Vanity Fair Oscars party the joke will be on them."I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I notice too much stuff, and yeah, some of it makes me angry. That's not being analytical. That's being emotional. It's as a result of noticing and analyzing things that I sometimes get frustrated and angry. Like when I see people lie in order to support the gun-control agenda. That's just one example. I'm able to keep a level head when I get letters published in newspapers, though. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

wmw999 2,589 #75 July 13, 2004 If I were a moderator (which, trust me, I'm not), I'd be sending out a general warning about puerile name-calling that skirts the rules. Coming the closest to getting banned without actually getting banned doesn't mean you win, does it? Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
