Don't give me that line "you have no clue what you are talking about." Show me the same respect that I show you.
Please! Stop patronizing.
Briggs only made mention that they both are ego-driven and needed to prove to others that they are right.
This is exactly my point. You can only make mention anyone like that! Most of the people out there are like that! I know at least 20 ego driven people that need to prove to prove to others they are right! If I count this forum, 50% of the posters are ego driven and need to prove to others that they are right. Terrible analogy!
Bringing dead soldiers into this is uncalled for
Whenever you talk about Bush, you have to bring up Iraq, the unnecessary war and the toll! Its not uncalled for, its standard practice. Bring up Bush in a public forum and see if the issue of dead soldiers does not come up.
Briggs made NO mention of that and the only mention he made was that they were both ego-driven so the analogy fits, even if you don't want too because you don't like Bush's policies on Iraq. The fact of the matter is that they are both immensely egotistical and thats all Briggs was saying. The only reason that Iraq was brought up was because YOU wanted it to be brought up, it had nothing to do with Briggs post or the analogy he was driving at. The real crime here is that you are trying to twist words around and make it look as if others are saying things they aren't saying.
This idea that you have about HAVING to bring up Iraq when talking about Bush is absolute BS. George Bush doesn't need defending and shouldn't be defended, thats not my intention here. Just because you can't control yourself when his name is mentioned and you can't have a civil conversation about a subject unrelated to his policies in Iraq, when it's warranted, doesn't give you the right to start telling Briggs that Isiah Thomas hasn't killed soldiers when Briggs was talking about something absolutely totally unrelated to that.
