I want to know how she graduated with a major in philosophy, she doesn't argue logically and is getting ripped a new a-hole.

How sheltered you are, if you think I'm an extremist.

A dark day it may be, indeed.

There are different types of extremism.

One form involves disconnects in logic that cause people to leap from one conclusion to another. That's what you did.

Your process as presented in this thread is as follows:
a. I disagree with this administration and hate the POTUS
b. I'm an American but he's not my POTUS
c. I almost wish someone would kill him
d. but wait...that would make him a martyr...argh...back to the drawing board

I feel left out KStar hasn't tried to argue any of my posts.

Well, I dunno, you compared Bush to dictators who slaughter thousands and "almost wish" someone would kill him.

On second thought, you're right, these are heartland, middle-America sentiments.

How many US soliders have died in an unjust war? How many Afghanis or Iraqis? Bush HAS slaughtered thousands.

A) It is your opinion that this is an unjust war.

B) With regard to Afghanistan, you think that is an unjust war as well? Do you not see any difference between brutally slaughtering your own people, and collateral damage in war?

People who are quick to point out America's faults almost never recognize the fact that the United States spends billions on limiting collateral damage, while our opponents HOPE for such loss of life.

A little over 4,000.

How many people died in 9/11? How many civilians had to die before you'd be content with going to war?

How she feels about the wars doesn't change the fact that this is her POTUS, too. :)

You are correct, but she lost that battle so shes looking for something else. I see didn't try to argue with me, I wonder why?

Because it doesn't make sense to repeat yourself to every poster who tries to respond to you. :)

Almost 3,000 died because of the plane crashes. I wouldn't ever consent with going to war against a nation until that nation actually attacked the US. Neither Iraq or Afghanistan attacked the US.

And I've had you on ignore since you joined, that is why I haven't responded to anything but this.

I am just chuckling over that comment in the context of one of my sisters who got recruited for the FBI. She was a Russian major (and a beauty school grad) (and she looked like Janet Jackson in the Love Will Never Do video) so I guess at the time it made sense.

Billy - click the button to the right of the "quote" button for all the people you want to quote, then go down to the bottom of the thread and hit post reply. It took me a couple tries too.
