My favourite Bush quote.



"The French dont even have a word for 'Entrepreneur'."


*cough*


Wow...

[Professor S]

Wow, a Bush bashing thread? How very original on this forum. And by the way, I've NEVER seen those quotes before... ever... especially not on this forum. Nope. Accolades on the excellent use of bandwidth.

Sorry if I'm a little dissappointed with the lack of originality and silly masturbatory backslapping going around in here. Not to mention that this thread has been done to death a million times before.

But hey, if it makes you feel better. Do it.

Sorry man, got no more tissues for ya.

But honestly, Are there so many threads in this forum that you really have room to complain? who cares what they post and want to talk about, if its giving the forum ANY coversation, its better then nothing. the forum needs it. whether its the best thread in the world or not, forum would run dry. no one forces you to read it.

It does. So back off and let me feel good without you bitching about it.

Seriously Strangler. If you can't just let us do what we want to do on here without bitching about it at every turn, then just find a forum that conforms more to your views. I'm seriously sick of feeling like these forums are suffocated by your lack of tollerance.

I apologize if my views that aren't based on a cartoonish misrepresentation of the President don't conform to what you would like to see. Maybe these forums would be better if everyone just agreed with YOU at all times, not matter the silliness of ignorance of the opinions conveyed. I also like to see that you would like me to either leave of censor myself, how very democratic of you. I guess its true what they say: "Its only censorship if its against a liberal." (Jim Norton from Tought Crowd with Colin Quinn)

As for "tolerance", maybe you should look that word up before using it to tell me not to express myself or to LEAVE. Thats hilariously ironic and hypocritical.

oh lighten up. for gods sake man, its a thread about silly quotes. That doesnt reflect anyones views, its just what it is, silly quotes.
You can be a proud supporter of bush, but still admit the man is funny, he says goofy things. Because people like to joke about what he says, doesnt mean they're anti american bush haters. (some are tho. lol)

just let people talk about what they want to. its not like they're insulting your girlfriend..

If you're implying that my views of the President are based on a "cartoonish misrepresentation" - I think you're mistaken. This thread is meant to be fun. You don't see me jumping down the throats of Republican forum members when somebody jokes about Kerry.

And as for leaving or censoring yourself, that's kind of what this place is all about. Our forums are generally pretty low maintainance in terms of members and the mods don't really need to do a whole lot (save for moving topics and the occasional n00b). So usually stuff just sort of slides on here; and if you're not going to censor yourself, I don't think anybody will.

There is a difference between expressing your views and making people feel stupid for enjoying a laugh.

[Dylflon]

I do agree with Mariolover about us not jumping down anti-Kerry member's throats. And perhaps Strangler SHOULD lighten up.

Strangler - my english teacher taught me that directly insulting your opponents only hurts your argument and makes you seem childish. It's true in the presidential debates and it's true here too. Others manage to express their views without insulting one another. I'd expect similar behaviour from you. Especially considering that you're a moderator. I quit the political debate game because I'd get too wrapped up in the argument and lose my cool. I'll throw in the odd comment here or there but I've mainly stayed out of it. This doesn't mean I think I'm wrong or that this is a bad place to discuss politics, I just feel that everything I could say has been said and that getting down in the dirt some more won't do anything for me. We know you have strong political convictions, but attacking other members and/or their beliefs doesn't make people want to listen to what you have to say. Remember, as moderators we are to be setting an example. We don't want to set a bad one.

Hey, I don't directly insult anyone, I INDIRECTLY insult EVERYONE. There is a difference

As for overreacting, my issue was more about how this particular thread had been done to death, and I made that opinion known. Now if people have a problem with me expressing my opinions on something, thats tough, and I didn't get irate until Mariolover decided to say that I shouldn't speak my mind.

If you don't like what I have to say, go screw. I'm not going to let things I don't agree with or like pass without saying something or just hop on the old bandwagon.

Knowing my posting record, why would anyone expect any less?

Because your a mod.

Mods need to set an example for the rest of us to follow.

Name one more mod that goes on political tirades expressing opinions left and right?

Lead by example.

[Professor S]

So because I'm a mod I shouldn't have and express a political opinion? Thats nice of you.

As for setting an example, I am, just none of you damn liberals seem to be following it.

Being able to edit forums does not make someone an icon to follow by...

Strangler can say whatever the hell he wants, I don't care if he's a mod, he doesn't have to censor his thoughts.
