Are you appalled at the idea that I don't share your penchant for scaremongering tactics using the emotional appeal of dead children?

Where did Chad imply this?

Scaremongering - One who spreads frightening rumors; an alarmist. 

It's funny... I ignored that statement because it is throwing darts at a tactic he is using himself in that very statement.

To each their own, I guess.

As if you have earned any less. You don't exactly involve yourself in these types of discussions...

At this point, it's more productive for me to have fun at your expense. I especially love how you do nothing but drag threads into the mud, then whine when I single you out for doing it. It's a pretty childish and pathetic tactic on your part.

Say something other than "BUSH WON!" every friggin' post. I know you can. It's more annoying that you think it bothers me, more than it really, in fact, bothers me.

EDIT: I bet I know what your response will be...please try to not be so predictable.

I take all kinds of exception to this. You are wrong. You are 100% completely wrong.  Half the people on these forums have opinions I cannot abide. They are free to remain here and speak their mind. The person you are referring to broke the rules of this forum. Period. You will not bring hatred and racism to my forums. Racial slurs have no place here. Period. If this is what you need to speak your mind then don't let the door hit you on the butt on your way out.

I can vouch for Saint's statement above. I say all kinds of stuff that could be considered objectionable, disagreeable, controversial, just plain stupid, erroneous and or opinionated.

I have yet to be banned. Much to Saint's credit, and much to my surprise sometimes. If someone said something that got them banned here, than it had to be extremely stupid and/or hateful.

I'll go the other way... the poster was right.  The person he refers to was banned for speaking his mind.

It just so happened that his mind was full of racism, slurs, and things that are against the rules.  He spoke them, he was banned, and it was right.

Heh. One day Mr. C and Chad will agree on something. At that time I will be looking frantically around for other signs of Ragnarok/Armageddon/Rapture.

What's the story behind it? Are they okay?  Did she get kicked off the team?

Inquiring minds want to know.

You'll have to re-read what I said. I didn't state anything about you one way or another. I took exception to your statement that the previous person was banned for speaking his mind. People get banned for violating the rules, not for having opinions I don't agree with.

In reference to a previous post, I hope you're not mistaking me for having the same views and beliefs that our resident racist had before he was banned.

I DO NOT share the same opinions as he does, and I DO NOT condone his way of life, but I refuse to be labeled a racist because of someone misinterpreting what I posted.

That being said, if it's any consolation, I'm half Italian!  ::) And the other half being robot, or machine as I've been called now. Having lost both my legs in the line of duty, I now need the assist of braces to move about wherever I go.

So yeah, me RACIST -- can't afford it. Friends are hard enough to find anyways, both before and after my accident.

Just my piece, build with it what you like.

  • HAH! Nice one!
    • A lifelong project

This could get a little ugly if someone actually wanted to prove their point.


It STARTED to get ugly when you brought race into the discussion. 

You've posted  your comments as if they were facts with nothing to back up your statement, utilizing a racial element in the process.  Telling us you're Italian is meaningless.  Your words would read the same if you were Polish, German, African-American, or Nepalese!  If race wasn't intended, why bring it up in such a fashion?  There are far harsher words that could be said, and I question your concern for this "getting ugly", as you were the person who started implying things that could be taken "ugly" and using terminology that would further lead to those kinds of assumptions. 

As of my post, you still have yet to explain what you meant and provide any sort of backup for your "facts" of a "Zionist conglomerate.  Is there an explanation forthcoming?
You’re always in control of your behavior. Sometimes you just control yourself
in ways that you later wish you hadn’t
