Game, I signed out so that I could see what you wrote.

When are you going to learn that you can't shoe horn me into what you think is the conservative opinion? The paragraphs of assumptions you wrote have proven themselves, yet again, to be incorrect. As I mentioned in my post above, criticism does not equal condemnation. My opinions tend to be nuanced, and even though you continually try to paint me one way, your fiction cannot overturn reality once I actually offer my true opinion.

The part that probably bothers me the most is how cowardly it is to attack someone, and lie about their viewpoint, when you know they can't see what you are saying. It bothers me, but I'm not upset, mainly because it doesn't surprise me that you did it.

In all, this is a perfect example of why I ignored you in the first place and will continue to ignore you. I can debate anyone on any topic as long at they are fair and honest. You are neither, and that makes any conversation on politics with you pointless.

And with that, I will continue my policy of not feeding the trolls.

You made the choice to block me... therefore you're hiding from me, not vice versa. And you call me a coward? Everything I post I'm aware that you can see if you wanted to, and I don't say anything different now then I did when I was not blocked. As far as I know, I could be unblocked the whole time, and your opinion could be skewing based off of what I say.

So with that said, the real 'coward' is the one who runs from any viewpoint that is different from their own... aka you. So go ahead and put your earmuffs back on Mr. Republican. As I told you from the start, that's not going to stop me from sharing my opinion...

My assumption (well, not assumption... since I knew it for a fact) was that you had recieved unemployment before, therefore you're not against it, and will find a reason to defend it.. in other words, you'd be a hypocrite just like the guy who posted on FB. What did you next post start with? The fact that you've recieved unemployment, and justification for why it is good. So I was right, yet again...

So what other entitlements are you for my delusional friend? Oh wait, we had this debate before... pretty much nothing right? Anything that you won't get and/or don't have potential to get. Including 'socialized' healthcare right? Or am I making a blind assumption again?

Oh... wait... I know, I know! He won't answer this question because he has me blocked... which brings me back to my first point, about who's hiding from who. And he has the audacity to call me a coward. pssssssh

Wow, your saying TheGame is the cowardly one here? He is not the one who blocked someone else simply because he didnt like what they were saying. Did I miss something?

Also, I in no way whatsoever feel that anything TheGame has posted in this thread as been anywhere near an "attack"

Our political discussions were pointless and only led to more name calling and personal attacks. He invents other people's opinions and then uses that fiction to attack them. I chose to ignore The Game's posts for the reasons illustrated in posts above, and in essence, make an attempt to take the high road rather than continue the circle of nonsense we constantly engaged in.

Well, he brought up my past and my family, lied about my opinion on unemployment to call me a hypocrite, and then insulted me personally instead of addressing my real opinion. Not an attack? Ok, lets just call it inappropriate and childish.

If he wants to debate my points and actual opinions while I hide his responses, he can feel free, but lying about someone's viewpoints, bringing their family into it, and insulting them behind their back is the act of an intellectual coward. In the end, it only further justifies my decision to ignore his posts.

I brought up a fact about your history that you willingly admitted in previous threads, and in this one. Of course you disagree that it has no bearing on your opinion, but I think it does very much... as you have illustrated yourself clearly in this thread.

I did not "lie about (your) opinion on unemployment" at any point. I said you were in favor of it, which you were.. even though you're generally against entitlements.. which you are.. and the one you happened to recieve in your history, is the one you happen to be openly in favor of..

And just in case you don't understand, saying someone is in favor of something doesn't nessicarily mean they think it's perfect. It's an entitlement system that is important and should be in place, in your opinion.. am I wrong? Or do I need to quote topics from over a year ago?

-EDIT-

Oh, and all the "Coward" BS when you're hiding from direct comfrontation is pathetic lol.
