Oh, and getting back to the subject (that is if you all have the ability to discuss the subject and not cut down the poster. I'm wondering about the intellect at the moment in light of the pile on), how does something being a "liberal" source take away from the fact that the people that the Iraqis voted for (by 52 percent at the least) want a withdrawal based on a time table?
Seriously guys, if you can't do better than insults, then I have to wonder about YOUR intellect. It sounds like it's not very high.
I'll be honest here, your way of "debating" drives me nuts. It reminds me of Bok only not quite as calm and witty. You are obtuse and the difference between you and Bok is that I don't think you are obtuse on purpose while he does it to piss people off. Have you ever stopped to wonder why you seem to rub a great number of people the wrong way? Could it perhaps be you and not them? This has nothing to do with you holding the views you do, it is your reasons behind your views. They seem very 'in the moment" and not deeply held. If you had any power you would be the kind of person who would rule by polls, which to me is very infantile. You embody the very stereotype of a liberal as far as conservatives are concerned. I guess it makes sense, you are a liberal after all.
Seriously, why are you here? I'm not trying to be mean, I really want to know. You have your little corner of the net, why would you want to even participate at a place that does not respect you? It says more about you than it does any of us. If you feel our intellect is juvenile, why stay?
BEG, even CU knows how to disagree with me without insulting now. It's THIS BOARD. Something is terribly wrong with some of the people on here. Let's see. Patriot Game. The guy who threatened me more than once at CU until I called his bluff. TxRadioguy. Was okay with me as long as he was a mod, could have his way. He comes off as a spoiled brat that has to have his way. Airwolf. Hates liberals. Badcat. Hates liberals. Both not happy unless they can be stepping on them. Zaf. Hates liberals and has no desire to be their equal. Neither does a lot of people here for that matter. It basically looks like the worst of CU. There's something wrong with THIS BOARD, not the rest of the internet world like you all claim.
As for why I'm here, what can I say? After so much seeking off attention over here, they got mine. Seriously Beg, why do you honestly believe people here should have a right to seek attention on a regular basis and not get it? That's sounds spoiled. Like a bratty type of spoiled. Truth is if people weren't seeking attention here on a regular basis, I never would have registered.
And then I got here and found out that not everybody here is the trashiest, brattiest part of CU. So unlike the rest of the internet world, I'm actually wanting to give you a chance.
I promised staff I'd be nicer, but nobody in their right mind can be nice to spoiled brats like the ones in this thread. I've worked with at risk kids who were better behaved.
