NCclimber 0 #26 November 20, 2006 QuoteQuoteI made no accusation. I merely offered a premise. I'm a bit unclear if you understand the meaning of accuse. It sounds more dramatic.Especially when it's used in a dishonest fashion. Quote What if you made a point on conservative policy and I replied with "And how does that fit the premise that conservatives are inbred redneck morons?"I'd probably ask you to back it up. What I wouldn't do is come back with lame ass counterpoints, like the ones I've read here. QuoteQuoteThroughout this exchange, you've compared the rightwing extremist POV to the leftwing moderate POV I've shown that there are libs who act with logic and cons who act with emotion. They are always exceptions, especially when you cherry pick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gay marriage and flag burning were close to becoming constitutional amendments! That needs a lot of people thinking with something other than their heads.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

NCclimber 0 #36 November 21, 2006 QuoteI did read what I wrote, I didn't say they were close to passing. What did you mean when you said they were close to "becoming constitutional amendments!"? QuoteWhich part of what I said about your link was incorrect? The article notes conservatives have a preference towards organized and unambiguous Reality-Models, such as "good" and "evil" or "right" and "wrong". It says "a preference towards" You say they only see the world in Good and Evil. A preference towards means "only"? You infer "very religious" to mean "scarily religious". This comes across as blatant religious bigotry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about the millions of dedicated Christians who don't prosthelytize? Did you know a full deck of cards comes with 54 cards? Some people think 30 or 40 cards is no different than a full deck.
