Oh man, I went into an AOL Chat Room to discuss politics: SAD!
Edited on Sat Mar-05-05 05:38 AM by Tweed
This one woman told me to read the Bible, thought that since Kerry had more money than Bush, Bush helps out the poor more. She didn't use any facts. She said that her 8 year old son adores the President and that's good enough for her.

I mentioned that even Republicans don't support Bush's Social Security plan. I was told that I was wrong and that that was a Democratic ploy.

Someone said that you can't win the election without the NASCAR vote. :eyes:

The same woman who told me to read the Bible more said that I was a pimple on her dog's butt. How Christian of her.

I left when the Christian lady said "Don't bother arguing with idiots. They bring you down to their level."

I thanked her for the advice, told her I was taking it and left.

ARGGHH!!!!!!

On edit: I forgot the best comment of the night: The President is protecting me from Muslims. That's all I need." :WTF:

2. Appalling, Isn't It?
You can even discern who's who simply by their comments, (they all have the same opinionated mindset with zero individuality).
I know a 10 year-old that liked Bush because "Bush has a cute dog and Kerry only has a cat". I guess it's all a matter of priorities, huh?

4. Hypocrites
TRUE Christians are NOT hateful, even while in disagreement. Hypocrites love to hate while thumping Bibles.
You'll know them by their fruits: Love, Peace, Joy, Goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, Faithfulness, Patience, and Self-Control.
And that's not even JUDGING, that's "observing" the fruit they produce.

5. Bush Hates The Poor
I'm sick of hypocrite hate-mongers professing to be Christians taking over this country.
He who mocks the poor reproaches his Maker.

6. I heard someone around me, who has a muslim church by his home,
say something that would get him in deep doo-doo with the authorities. I know he said it in haste, because he's not a violent man. He's just frustrated and our right-wing news media is exploiting that frustration.

7. I gave up going to those AOL chat rooms.
Even the ones identified as liberal, or the left are filled with repugs who yell and call everyone nasty names. They have no manners and can't tolerate anyone with another opinion. Thank God for DU.

10. I used to see Hunter S Thompson in those AOL rooms
he would try to argue sensibly with those ignorant people. He'd correct their wild assertions with facts that they refused to believe. I remember once he left after saying something like "WTF's wrong with you people?"

His screen name was HUNTER S THOMPSON in caps. No one ever recognized him for who he was.

11. Anyone who STILL uses AOHell
More than likely is not the sharpest knife in the drawer to begin with. It's like the Faux News of ISPs.
