That little radar

Recommended Posts

Trust me, this post belongs in SC and not Bonfire ;)

Everyone has issues that causes their own personal radar to go meep meep meep. I think we can figure some of them out -- some folks with guns, others with Bush.

Some of us seem to have radars that go meep meep on people and not issues. As soon as someone that sets off your radar posts something, you see only what you disagree with in it. This is usually followed by several posts between the two in fast succession -- meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meep until someone hijacks the thread, or a warning is issued, or something even stronger overcomes their radar.

If you think this might apply to you, look around. Who pisses you off no matter what they post? Imagine what they look like seeking blindly, going meep meep meep on their own, and have a beer.

I think some of us, me included, sometimes think, now what will really tick posterxyz off



Even when I try, I don't seem to be able to. Only once or twice has someone been heated against me.

Maybe I need to be pre-emptive :D

I don't think it's certain people that make me angry . . . it's the manner in which certain people post. Nothing (in real life and on the internet) can make me more angry than when someone twists my words around or puts words in my mouth. Once that happens, the gloves come off. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go check my blood pressure right now. :D

So what you are saying is that you are a biast liberal that can't control her temper?
or is it that being a liberal gives you high blood pressure?

I'm not sure what youy are trying to say?

I guess being a liberal who has to argue with conservatives who consistently put a spin where one should not be might have something to do with it.

:P;):P;):D

I know, I know, libs do it, too. I'm one of the biggest believers that ALL politicians are dirty rotten salesmen, regardless of party affiliation or lack thereof.

Meep meep (wendy is funny)

Kallend's purpose here is to poke and jab. And he is funny in a certain way. Enjoy it. Unreasoning vitriol is funny when it's focused elsewhere.

PK is spun up until the election and is not coming down. We'll get him back afterwards.

We have a couple just like them on the right too.

Wendy is indeed funny. So is PK. So is Kallend.


What gets me is when you join the forum, make a post or two, and the polarists assume you're all the way on the opposite extreme, and start arguing from that stand-point. It's really hard to convey the tone you're going for without explaning it to death when folks automatically see you coming from a different direction.

I mean, I'm so firmly in the middle on most issues, it's pathetic.

I think I'm just gonna poke at people without trying to make a point from now on. It's more fun, and more easily understood. >:( Meep mEEp.

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

jab jab, poke poke

stand back and watch the faces get red

(unfortunately, I do lean to the right on most issues, but when I can, the devil's advocate is always the most fun position to take)

Nice use of color to illustrate your point.

"'But I don’t want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here. Almost everyone is mad here..........

You bet Mac! I do not dislike someone simply because we disagree especially about politics, religion, sports. Life is to short. Besides without all you guys & girls with different viewpoints, life would be awfully boring!

Meep, meep

Blue skies,

Jim
