PaS, PaS, PaS... I'm your friend. The w/e-way-the-wind-blows Pill-Popper, the Cliquies, and the Badgers running to your "defense" are not. They care not for you nearly as much as they care that you represent 10% of every future star point. You have been beguiled and bamboozled by those whose thin skins betray the indignance-laced Kool-aid they have been drinking for years. They are your Roman Catholic Church. I am your Martin Luther. They are your Tom Cruise. I am your Tory Christman. They are your SLA. I am your windowless black van. They are your enablers, co-dependents. I am your friend. They want your upvotes and the kind of affirmation and vindication they can only receive by collective membership into their twisted groupthink. I want nothing.
Another prolific poster here once left due to the shenanigans of a recently-returned and reformed (?) exile. VS didn't miss a beat. Other people filled in and the same stuff she would have sifted got sifted by others. That's why it was somewhat comical to me when she returned to posting and threatened to stop if the exile was allowed to return. Exile is back, thankfully, and she is still posting, predictably. If you measure your value here by votes and badges, it is a lie. You've been caught up. They are participation ribbons. Everyone gets something eventually, and they don't mean jack shit to those who just want to see the two-headed calf and Journey concert.
Whatever your story... and I mean whatever your story, I stand by what I said. You could be nose-up in an iron lung pecking out smiley faces with a chopstick in your teeth, and I would still maintain that there are infinitely more interesting, meaningful, and rewarding (in RL) pursuits to dedicate hours and hours every day of your life to.

I don't think it would have mattered who the comment was from or who it was to...I believe it would have led to the same reaction. I for one come here to have fun, and never like to see things get personal because I think it hurts the site and I guess the people who left the replies feel the same way. I really appreciate that they wanted to make sure I wouldn't feel bullied by anyone here. I hope we can put this whole discussion to rest now. I have videos to watch. P.S. I said hours which is actually only 2 or 3...I didn't say I spent all DAY watching videos. Sheesh. I could think of WORSE things to be taking an interest in.

A voice or reason from this left leaning site. Stick around and teach these num nuts some truth.

Can't understand why anyone would want four more years of Obama. Romney could have two heads and I'd prefer someone like him with business experience.
Socialists know nothing but spreading a lower standard of living, as BHO has aptly demonstrated.

Government is not a business, nor should it be run like one. So a candidate with with business experience means absolutely dick.

As Gen has already pointed out, you obviously have no clue what socialism is. Even if you did, you obviously haven't been paying attention because Obama is not a socialist. He's a moderate republican

Getting off that paranoid tangent and getting back to the actual video. Gotta love Ann's bit about America losing if Romney loses. Because yeah.. its so reasonable to believe that the mustache twirling villain will win if Dudley Do Right doesn't win. Because yeah... the world is THAT black and white.

Hahah! I went to college with one of the girls on the dancefloor (the brunette next to the big blonde woman during the two-headed bird part).

They were missing a body with two heads making out with each other.

I am lost in recursion there! Isn't a society just a group of citizens! Let's do direct replacement! "...behavior our group of citizens expects of its individual citizens" Whew, that feels better! Sometimes I get lost in ambiguity, I wonder if others do as well.
I would agree that is what democracy is, but I also see that like Socrates did, as groups stealing power away from individuals. In fact, that is what you see now, groups of people making grabs for power to take advantage of other groups and individuals. Group think is more powerful than individuals, so democracies tend to have this leaning towards the same type of tyranny as a monarchy. I don't know how to undo this evil and still have liberty. Perhaps it is as Jefferson put it with the blood of patriots. Perhaps that is what he was really talking about, entropy of any given system? The best that man can make lasts not against the ravages of time? Perhaps this is the sad reality we face, or perhaps we can take solace in the fact and start the rebirth of what has/is dying?


Yep, lost in recursion you are.

Who decides what individual rights are? You? Me? Something some guy wrote on stone tablets or parchment long ago? Maybe it should be up to the guy with the most money, or maybe just the most military power?

With about 5 minutes of self-reflection, you should realize that what you're struggling to come to grips with is that a) your view of morality isn't popular, and b) you think your morals should be popularly accepted as the only right and true ones, and c) realize that peaceful persuasion probably will never get you a lasting, permanent majority who agree with you so d) you start thinking revolution is the answer.

And through all this, you refuse to view your thoughts as being anything other than supporting liberty against tyranny when you have literally described how tyranny fights against liberty.

The beginning of understanding democracy is to admit that maybe the people who think differently from you have a legitimate point of view, and might even be tapped into a facet of the truth to which you might be oblivious.

It's a belief in the idea that if two heads are better than one, two hundred million heads are probably better than one, and that the only way to ever perfect anything -- including justice -- is through a perpetual debate over the issues in a forum where no ideology has an unassailable monopoly on our thinking.

So that's why there were so many two headed creatures in the Mos Eisley cantina.

Uh, shouldn't the title be HOLEY SHIT A FUCKING TWO HEADED FUCKING BABY!?

In reply to this comment by wjolson:
residue, you are being silly. he was clearly deffending everyone else at his rallies who were acting normal.

he even refered to the racist hecklers as fringe people, meaning a faction of people outside the regular group who hold views that do not represent most McCain supports and are alot more extreme.

you need to listen to what is being said in this clip, residue, not hear what you want to hear.

i would downvote, if i could, for the title and blatant misrepresentation of your title and description, and for the fact that the four armed two headed man will give me nightmares for weeks.

I understand your points, he just seemed to be more interested in how Obama is in the wrong for taking such offense to some silly harmless comments such as "kill him" by good outstanding citizens. I mean right after he said there are going to be fringe groups, he immediately attacked Obama for criticizing all of his supporters rather than addressing the issue with the fringe groups. If the topic is ABOUT the fringe groups, why pretend that Obama is attacking the collective group of McCain supporters?

McCain:
"But to somehow say that group of young women who said "Military wives for McCain" are somehow saying anything derogatory about you, but anything -- and those veterans that wear those hats that say "World War II, Vietnam, Korea, Iraq," I'm not going to stand for people saying that the people that come to my rallies are anything but the most dedicated, patriotic men and women that are in this nation and they're great citizens.
And I'm not going to stand for somebody saying that because someone yelled something at a rally -- there's a lot of things that have been yelled at your rallies, Senator Obama, that I'm not happy about either."

All he really said to address the mobs was this:
"Let me just say categorically I'm proud of the people that come to our rallies. Whenever you get a large rally of 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 people, you're going to have some fringe peoples. You know that. And I've -- and we've always said that that's not appropriate."

I mean cmon Obama, there's always going to be someone yelling they are going to kill you. quit being a baby

I see your point though, I'll come up with a better title
