For your entertainment...
There is a message board that I occasionally look at but don't participate in discussion. It looks like most are freepers but one brave soul posted something blasting Bush and this was the response. I have been debating if I will post anything or not but in the meantime I thought I would let you read the points the freeper responded with and enjoy your discussion. Here goes:



1. Liberals always have a passion to bash those who don't agree with them, isn't that an oxymoron?

2. Old saying that is relevant: "If you are under 20 and a conservative you have no heart, if your over 40 and a liberal you have no brain."

3. Even baboons do kill people or whatever endangers their way of life, if that is what it takes.

4. If you don't believe in evil, you are naive, deaf and blind. All that has to happen for bad things to happen is for good people to stand by and do nothing. Ask the jews who died while the world turned it's head in the 30's and 40's hoping it was all a fabrication.

5. We may not liberate Iraq, I don't know. It may have been a mistake, I don't know. But I do know hindsight is 20/20 and "W" made a decision based on the "intelligence" he had. Had "BILL" spent more time worried about keeping our intelligence accurate and strong instead of worrying about getting blown in the oval office, maybe we could have saved all those lives. Let's keep the big picture in mind.

6. Of course I guess we could have had Big AL in there who invented the internet! Maybe he would have spammed the terrorists to death!

1. Wow, It's hard to know where to start.
"1. Liberals always have a passion to bash those who don't agree with them, isn't that an oxymoron?"

Uuhh... what? I can't even figure out what he's calling an oxymoron. Liberals? Bashing those who disagree? Passion? Does he even know what "oxymoron" means?
From dictionary.com:

ox·y·mo·ron Audio pronunciation of "oxymoron" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ks-môrn, -mr-)
n. pl. ox·y·mo·ra (-môr, -mr) or ox·y·mo·rons
A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a deafening silence and a mournful optimist.


I haven't seen the post he's responding too but I doubt that this is relevant to it. In fact it can't be relevant to it since it can't be relevant to anything, because it's a meaningless sentence. It's basically noise.

"2. Old saying that is relevant: 'If you are under 20 and a conservative you have no heart, if your over 40 and a liberal you have no brain.' "

I haven't seen the post he's responding too but I doubt that this is relevant to it. In fact it can't be relevant to it since it can't be relevant to anything, because it's a baseless assertion - an old saying that is nothing but someone's opinion (maybe we should call it an "oxymoron"). It's basically noise.

"3. Even baboons do kill people or whatever endangers their way of life, if that is what it takes."

I haven't seen the post he's responding too but I doubt that this is relevant to it. In fact it can't be relevant to it since it can't be relevant to anything. He seems to be assuming that baboons are better than us ("even baboons") so therefore if they do it we should be able to. He's using the behavior of wild animals as a standard for human behavior. He's claiming that baboons kill whatever endangers their way of life. I'm sorry, I can believe that baboons will kill to protect their life but I seriously doubt that they will kill to protect their way of life. In fact I seriously doubt that they even have the concept of "way of life". This sentence is meaningless. It's basically noise.

"4. If you don't believe in evil, you are naive, deaf and blind. All that has to happen for bad things to happen is for good people to stand by and do nothing. Ask the jews who died while the world turned it's head in the 30's and 40's hoping it was all a fabrication."

I haven't seen the post he's responding too but I doubt that this is relevant to it. These are uncontroversial platitudes that very few, if any, sane people would disagree with. They don't really say anything that everybody doesn't already agree with. It's basically noise.

"5. We may not liberate Iraq, I don't know. It may have been a mistake, I don't know. But I do know hindsight is 20/20 and "W" made a decision based on the "intelligence" he had. Had "BILL" spent more time worried about keeping our intelligence accurate and strong instead of worrying about getting blown in the oval office, maybe we could have saved all those lives. Let's keep the big picture in mind."

I haven't seen the post he's responding too but I doubt that this is relevant to it. This is a baseless and inaccurate accusation against Clinton. Clinton is not the one who get the intelligence wrong. It's incorrect and therefore irrelevant. It's basically noise.

"6. Of course I guess we could have had Big AL in there who invented the internet! Maybe he would have spammed the terrorists to death!"

I haven't seen the post he's responding too but I doubt that this is relevant to it. It's a sarcastic remark based on a straw man. It adds nothing to the conversation. It's basically noise.
:evilgrin:

3. Here's the post it was responding to:
BABOON`S DON`T KILL PEOPLE,
BUT WHO WE HAVE IN OFFICE DOESN`T SEEM TO CARE HOW MANY HE AND HIS WAR DOES..
WHAT HAVE WE GAINED ?
WHAT HAVE WE LOST ---- ANY THING OVER THE #1 IS WAY TO MANY...

WHAT A CHIMPANZEE

*******************


I can't find the original thread or if this was a conversation not had on this message board. A couple of threads back one apologized to the other and then this happened. It is a high school class from the 1970s and you have to join so no real point in visiting. I kept thinking about Clinton not being effective because of getting a blow job - what did that take, 5 minutes? Defending it against vitriolic, sex obsessed Republicans took many months and did detract from more important things.
