(1) The Bali bombers were middle easterners
(2) The Nazi Party was a left-wing party
(3) The London bombers came from the Middle East

Careful now... some folks here might not realize that you are being just a tad sarcastic - or that you just might be mocking certain folk's ignorance... just saying that all

As for what I have learned:
(1) All media is liberal
(2) Canada sent troops to Vietnam
(3) Don't trust dictonaries, they can be very wrong...

Interesting thread...I'll jump in:

1) It's ok to make generalizations about Republicans and conservatives, but if someone says the same things about Democrats, it's unacceptable.

2) Republicans are the only ones who make mistakes on this board; Democrats, liberals and others have never made a wrong statement.

Seriously though, I wish everyone would admit that there are ridiculous posters on ALL sides of the political spectrum who contribute to the political animosity on the board.

i'd say that conservatives seem to have a lot to say about liberals.

They do - and there are times when the criticisms of liberals by conservatives are unfair. I am just saying that it works both ways.

I've learned that if you are going to disagree with someone, you had better have a list of links to reputable sites outlining why your opinion is viable. Otherwise, you will get attacked by people who think it is their job to prove you wrong and/or change your mind.

I've learned that there are crazy Canadians on this website that make up lies and threaten to kill members of Greekchat that don't agree with them.

In that vein, i've learned that people like to talk a lot of shit but can't back it up!

ROTFL!!!!

I've learned that two people can agree completely on the same topic, yet one of them will still argue about it!

so you're just looking at it from a conservative point of view with your original post and not making any sort of statement.

gotcha.

people are sensitive and can't handle someone disagreeing with them.

1 - libs/Dems can't and don't logically debate. By the second sentence, they are calling names

2 - many GC posters are young. When I was young, I didn't realize that I was being bombarded daily by Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite with liberally slanted news, either.

3 - 2500+ posts on GC have not converted many to truth, justice, or the American Way. Hopefully the seed has been planted in a few young skulls.

I've learned that every news topic must degenerate into an argument between the democrats and the republicans as to which one is right.

I've learned that people will try to push their agenda and beliefs down other peoples' throats. You're not going to change people's mind on GC and they're not going to change your's. Give it up.
