I still don't understand why people even bother arguing politics. Everyone has different beliefs and 99.9% of the time and people aren't going to the change them. So really, what's the point?

I do it for the fun of learning about people's positions and the fun of expressing my opinion. I start with the expectation that I won't change anyone's views.

Is it really so different with the baseball and basketball posts?

Is MSNBC conservative? They give 15 hrs/week to a clear conservative commentator (Joe Scarborough) and only 10 to liberals/progressives (5 each for Rachel and Keith). I don't watch CNN much but I know conservative Lou Dobbs has his own show and I don't think any liberals do.

Yep the xenophoe dinosaur has a prime time slot and if the price of starbucks coffee goes up by a dollar he would somehow find a way to tie it to software developers in India or manufacturing jobs in China. Lou Dobbs sux.

He tracks me down in every topic and says the same thing about how I am owned and I dont post enough. To me that warrants him getting a life. And I dont see why you care

Hey Izybx, I don't care what anyone sez about you, you're still cool in my book. I just want to know how you feel about the candidates you support saying that you are not an American.

For no other reason than I'll find it interesting to know.

oohah

Lol thanks for the support

I never heard what they said about new yorkers not being Americans. Can you post a link?

Thats how I feel. Arguing politics with most people is the worst. Especially when you type as slow is I do!

Palin and McCain keep calling us Elitists and has said multiple times that the "real Americans" are in the small towns, and she rattles off all kinds of places that are where the real Americans are, and it ain't us.

She apologizes for it here: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/21/palin.sitroom/?iref=mpstoryview, but she has said it many many times and in robocalls too. I take it you don't watch the Daily Show?

She also has pretty much called Obama a Terrorist. I find that stuff going too far. McCain and Palin have also lost William F. Buckley's son, and he is a leading conservative.

Seriously, dat bitch is nutz and McCain has sold his soul...very unfortunate that tey could even be considered for the most important job in the world.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

I think its one of those things that if you support her you dont find it offensive at all, and if you dont support her you are very offended. Lol, so I guess Im not offended by her saying that that best of America is in the small towns

Lol. Nice to see that MS has stepped into the role of "the one guy who dares to knock Obama". I got tired of being the only guy versus the entire rest of the forum. Dont even waste your breath kid, all your hear is different variations of

1. you dont know the facts
2. you are uninformed
3. your values are misguided
4. youre a ****ing idiot
5. you have no views of your own, but are simply repeating what you heard on Fox News, Hannity, Oreilly, etc.

Of course, everybody else on this site besides you will be

1.Educated and with full knowledge of the facts
2.Informed
3.have a value set that is beyond reproach
4.Not repeating what they have saw on TV or read on a Blog, in fact they were simply born knowing more than you, a lowly brainwashed fool who caqn only repeat what you saw on TV.

Dont even waste your breath, debating politics with the people here is a complete waste of your time and effort.

But kudos for trying kid!


Your posts are pure trash, plain and simple. You post nonsense fox news/rnc talking points. You get debunked by someone who posts multiple links to multiple sources (not just left-leaning sources) to debunk your nonsense. You hide for 3-4 days. Then come back and completely ignore how you got pwned on your last point and throw up more garabage like the garbage listed above this post.

Wash - Rinse - Repeat

Okay you need to relax. If I am unable to provide whatever is missing in your social life perhaps you need to make some friends out in the real world who have the desire to engage in political debate with such a delightful person as yourself. If you lack the social skills to go out and meet people and interact with them in a normal way, than you can always join a political discussion board.

I mean you talk about my posts being trash because I dont want to spend all my time arguing with mopes like you. You say I disappear for days at a time. You joined a basketball forum and have 100 posts in over a year and all of them have to do with Obama/Mccain. You spend your last several posts tracking me down to say I was "pwned" and that Im hiding. You seriously need to take it easy, get your mind right and do something with yourself. Stop playing world of warcraft all day. Get a girlfriend and lay off the free internet porn. That stuff will give you a virus anyway. I didnt join this site to argue about politics. I joined it to talk about basketball, an to see other peoples opinions about basktball. Get a life kid.

I have plenty of friends in the "real world" and pretty good social skills. I just have this bad habit of calling em like i see em.

Actually i have about 10 posts on politics here but hey, who besides you is counting? I come to this board to read the views of everyone on here. It's a pretty entertaining group of posters who post here. I chime in occasionally when i feel the need to, otherwise i like to read the opinions of others here.

As i said you post garbage, disappear and don't address any of the issues that you get pwned on. As demonstrated by the above post of yours.

I have never played world of warcraft although i do own a PS3 that i do rock occasionally but not as much as i would like to, living in the real world and all. I got the girlfriend and the bangbros password so i am doing pretty good there as well. Best of both worlds.

Much to your dismay and ignorance, i have a life already.

But thanks for proving my point with another classic izbyx non-answer

A classic non answer to what? Did you ask me a question? This was like the 3rd or fourth time you are like tracking me down in threads and harrassing me. It seems trollish to me and like you said, Im calling them like I see them. You have some issue with me for some reason. Me personally, I dont develop a weird obsession with other posters. Maybe you are a normal person. Maybe you really are able to function in the real world. I do think that when someone stalks another on a basketball forum to harass them over an election its a sign of some deep psychological issue. Maybe you need Jesus in your life.

If you want to engage me in some sort of debate than Im willing. But if you want to harass me and accuse me of dissappearing because I am "pwned" as if I really give a **** than I wont be interested in interacting with you. You need to add something to this forum besides trolling and stalking me. In the meantime as far as Im concerned I dont have any problem with you personally. But please stop trying to provoke me when I do decide to jump into the conversation. Thanks a lot bro

Why? This is America bro. Despite what a lot of people would have you believe who you vote for doesnt make you any better or worse than anybody else. Colin Powell is the man regardless of who he endorses

YI don't know why this has anything to do with who you support. however, you can bet that if Obama said that the best of America is in the cities, there would be an uproar from McPalin.

I'm surprised you aren't offended by this, as a dude from the Bronx (I think) as a form of prejudice. She is talking about you and me. Not so much Martin and Andrew. I don't mean this wrong so please don't take it wrong, but what would it take for the republican ticket to offend you?

**

Why is the best of America in the small towns? Are we worse than them? Last I checked, the American revolution was a city movement, the principals and constitution upon which this country was founded were conceived in the cities. Chances are that the "better people" in the small towns ancestors immigrated to this country through the big cities! Do I need to mention that terrorists did not crash a plane into a farm in Kansas? More than half this country lives in the cities! Our forefathers are from the cities!

Any real look at America will find that this country was built on the big cities. That the spirit of this country was exhaled from the cities. But that doesn't make the country folk worse, or better.

In my opinion, it is a divisive tactic and it has no place coming out of the mouths of people who are supposed to lead the entire country.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

Who said anything about him being better or worse? I just asked if he had good judgment with regard to endorsements? It's a very simple "yes" or "no" question.

that's what i'm sayin... these young bucks just don't know... open up a few of them blouse buttons w/a nice hair shake & that soccer mom turns into a MILF.

Larry Flynt already has a porn in production with a Sarah Palin lookalike... I think I may actually buy porn. I've never bought porn, only downloaded (or stole it... I was horny as hell in middle school), which of course opens a whole new set of questions of porn purchasing ettiquette... maybe you old bucks could help us new bucks out with this one.

Bro, don't flatter yourself. I am not "stalking" you. We posted in the same political threads with opposite opinions. If that's stalking to you, then i can't help you. That's how message boards work. People give differing opinions on topics. Some choose to back up their opinions, some don't. I gave my opinion stating that when myself or any other poster calls you out on something you say in regards to politics, you more times than not do not respond to that poster.I have no issues with you but when you post on a public message board back up what you say with some facts.

I have no interest in further hijacking this thread or getting into some online pissing contest with you. Going foward i will leave up to other posters to call you out, there seem to be enough who share my line of thinking on this subject. I'll stay away from any threads you post in since you are so sensitive. i wouldn't want to be accused of "stalking" you anymore. This is my last response to you. Give me a break sister!

Mods - I apologize for my part in these shannanigans and board members i apologize for taking part in hijacking this thread.

We've had our disagreements, but I'll give it up to you on this one. The response to Powell's endorsement from the right, spearheaded by that unrepentant bigot Limbaugh, has been shameless and morally bankrupt... And republicans wonder why any black person with any shred of dignity would tether himself to a party that views us the way they obviously do.
