Hello montgomery and evince,
and your proof that your style is more effective?
I understand the desire for it to be more effective
Its not
Im not on the internets to be nice to people who agree with me.
and I actually am much more kind to those who agree with me
the proof is in the pudding
this is a very active site ( it was not when I came here in its first days)
how active is AAP?
not very
I am here to kill lies dead
I am an adult
I fight like one
and I kill lies
See what I mean, Montgomery?
Evince, I think you have run off a lot of adults with your childish outbursts. I bet the member list is littered with them.
Your posts have got to be as annoying as the President's tweets. I think you can do better.
You broke The Michelle Rule.
They went low so you went lower. You don't even wait for them to go low. You go low on people who were polite to you, just because you disagree with them. That's what you did with my buddy. Sure he is a conservative. That doesn't make him the horrible things you called him. He is a productive member of our society and the USA is better off for having him as a citizen. That's probably the case for most conservatives and liberals alike.
Everybody is entitled to their own views. I may disagree with some of them just as you do, but I also happen understand how important it is that they be allowed to voice their views. Freedom of speech is a basic tenet of this country. We must have freedom of speech. If we don't allow others to speak their mind, we have no right to speak for ourselves. It is FAR better to simply voice a more convincing argument. Show evidence which supports it. Like the way I claim the member list being littered with so-called 'members' who signed up at one time or another and promptly left, likely because somebody offended them.
I have posed that question many times and you simply refuse to address it, choosing instead to go into what-about-ism and your 'lie killer' speech.
Why do you think so many people sign up here, only make a few posts, and then decide to quickly leave?
I am convinced that many of them were shortly offended by somebody like you.
And you can tell yourself that you are an adult. And I am sure you are. I would like to see you act like one. That, you are NOT. You think this is OK because you think 'everybody else does it!' That sounds like a young teenager who wants something a little too grown up trying to convince the parents it's OK because 'everybody else is doing it, has it,' whatever.
It is not right to treat people badly. It is wrong. Just because some people do something which is wrong, that still doesn't make it right. This chat room has collected a lot of people who think being nasty is OK because other people do it. They are fulfilling their own imaginations. It is still wrong. It feels wrong. It is wrong. It's hurtful. It's never right to be hurtful. How can it be right to make somebody feel bad? That's wrong. It's a bad thing to do. Bad karma. You are not going to change their minds. When did anybody you were ugly to ever thank you for correcting them? That just makes them hate you, makes them think you are a horrible person, supports their belief that all liberals are horrible people. You make liberalism look bad. What you are doing is wrong. You actually hurt the cause of liberalism.
And it doesn't have to be that way. You are so smart, so well informed, so knowledgeable. You have a good mind. You are adept with facts. You have all the facts at your fingertips. You know just where to find them. You always have very good links to support your view. Just go with the links! Let the facts do your speaking! Maybe quote some pertinent passages out of them. Explain why your position make sense. Support that with evidence. Let it go at that. You got it. You could be so much more effective. If people choose to believe baloney, let them work it out why they are going to dismiss your facts. Force them to ignore fact in order to hold their position. Let it go at that. Let them work that out in their mind over time. Facts are nagging things. Your emotional childish outbursts only piss them off and cause them to instantly forget any links/facts you post. You derail your own train. Too bad. You could be so much more effective in forwarding liberal causes.
These food fights have about as much class as the President.
He just had one in the Oval office on national TV.
He is the worst.
