Yes, you are right: why is George McGovern on that list?Originally posted by Baptist in Richmond:

I have a feeling that ASLANSPAL was rather selective as to which Democrats and Republicans he chose to put in each list.
Yes, in fairness, Ponco, that probably also happens from time to time.Originally posted by poncho:
"ASLANSPAL has a habit of posting the same information several times when he gets cornered and wants to change subjects. I think it's partly a tactic to bump his responses to the top of the thread in hopes the previous postings won't be seen and read."
Funny,...the same thing could be said of the neocons and the corporate MSM. Although they (neocons and media) have a far greater propaganda machine than ASLANSPAL.
The list is misleading and apparently you or someone else hand picked them to best make your point.Originally posted by ASLANSPAL:
Dragoon I think you protest to much I was asking
carpro to reflect on the list again and so I made
it available within the context of the page...so
look out the black helicopters are hovering over
your house and Janet Reno is going to repel down
and deliver your pizza.
Major paranoia Dragoon along with the major media
So do you have something to say about the list
or the poem? Then say it..or should I post the list again for you.
That's a weird sentence - "If that were ... " subjective tense, meaning 'it is not' "... the long standing policy ..." as if the length of time a particular policy has stood determined it's validity - but this policy has already been determined not to exist by the tense of the preceding verb "...of the more evolved community..." I have no idea what a more evolved community means or implies "...some believe they live in,... who are these mysterious people who believe they live in a 'more evolved community', whatever that is, which does not have a long standing policy of refuting lies? "...then there would be no reason to continue this arguement" future conditional, the condition is false, so 'no reason' becomes 'the reason', turned around, we get -
That begs the question, actually many questions. I don't necessarily think *my* agenda (such as it may be), will be respected, but that doesn't mean it's wrong. Who does Russ think I'm claiming as innocent? I know who I think is misguided, but I doubt that is who you think I think is (this day is filled with awful sentences).
It might. I'd like some, please - ice cream, not so much the group hugs. </font>[/QUOTE]Give me your address Daisy and I am going to send you a wig so you can split all THOSE hairs.But Hey! I have a great idea..ice cream and hugs for everyone!
Yeah, that'll help.
Trying to make sense of your words is not splitting hairs, although there may well be no sense there to be made.Originally posted by emeraldctyangel:

"Preponderance" doesn't mean what you seem to think it does; try "predilection". I think "pondering" would be more accurate than "pontificating" if I am the subject; the latter word is more emeraldctyangelish than Daisylike.
Yes, the world would be much worse without peace and love, and without the distinction between right and wrong. Do you really think the world is better for the folk who preach war and hate, who don't distinguish between right and wrong, but only between us and them?
What does "barney style" mean? Is that Fife, the purple dinosaur or some other? If it is Fife, I'll be Taylor...
Grammar.com would be a more appropriate come back (but since you are aware of dictionary.com, perhaps you should avail yourself of its services). In order to have a relevant discussion, it helps to understand what the other guy is trying to say ~ sometimes a daunting task, but I try.
Drowning out the other side does seem to be the goal as the poem's words and attitude do not invite civil discussion. That whole mess o'words is just nasty and self-congratulating, but apparently that appeals to a certain element here.
Not at all, carpro. The poem is a nasty mess o'words, it is very self-congratulatory and many people here have said that the poem expresses their feelings.
You're wrong: "Civil discussion is always invited but sometimes you seem to go out of your way to keep it from being so...It seems you have declined the invitation once again" [aside]carpro is not without wit[/aside] is an accusation of incivility, not misdirection. The "it" kept from being so is "civil discussion" and since the discussion is ongoing, the civility must be lacking. Sorry to keep parsing sentences for you but I don't know how else to explain the point.
Oooooo! Is that a threat in your yet?
Um, what does "more evolved" mean and is it something that a person can insist on being? Since I don't know what it is, I really doubt that I do insist on it. As for the weariness of many, whoever they may be, that would not be my responsibility even if it were true.
Could you please provide an example where I've posted how wonderful my world is? For that matter, what do you think I consider "my" world to be?
If they're not too weary, perhaps.
If you are saying that I think anyone is beneath me, you are mistaken; perhaps your own insecurity is affecting your perceptions.
The poem doesn't have to be full of nasty, inflammatory rhetoric.
A poison pen and a bitter heart makes for a nasty mess o'words.
The author is not subtle in his expressions.
No, I choose to fight back....isn't that what the poem advocates?
Carpro wrongly accused me of being uncivil. If you agree with him, you really ought to back it up.
