Congrats Wrangor, you have owned this thread.
I know I'm whistling in the dark, but can those of you who are disagreeing with Wrangor please try to emulate him and argue in an honest and sincere fashion? I don't know how much of it's because you're incapable of understanding what he's saying or how much of it's because you're arguing dishonestly, but it's exasperating to see him patiently and calmly restate his position over and over. Show him the same respect he's shown you throughout this thread.
This is such a silly side argument to make. I can't think of a single time in the past 5 years i have supported a politician who made his pitch based primarily on Biblical principles that weren't generally acceptable to the public (i.e.: love your neighbor as yourself).
I admit I sometimes respond in kind to those who attack me and do not always "rise above it" like Wrangor. But you're right, I should not stoop to your level.This is rich. Can you try to emulate him too? Like no more profane personal attacks against other posters?
Or posting personal thought out opinions formed with your own mind would also be a good place to start. WWWD
Ok if I have time this weekend I'll chart out posted opinions and thoughts to posted internet crap and response to crap.
I'll lay it out for you. When you post your opinion and say an article that supports that opinion I will read it with an open mind and look to engage with intellectual thought. For example your ideas about immigration, environmental impact and the like. While I don't agree with the solution you propose I do agree with some underlying principals. Such as H1b visas where the entire science field is broken because of this, that's a conversation I will involve myself in even if I don't agree with you. The flip side to that is your alternative persona, for some reason you feel the need to act as some metafilter for all that is anti-Hillary regardless of source or content. In this instance your opinion is Hillary is awful, that has been established, so it doesn't need to be spammed to the board when the content that's being posted is questionable at best. You don't engage it and double down on it because then people attack you for it when you can't really blame them since a lot of it is tabloid at best, like DNC assassination by Hillary. Then you act like anyone not engaging with the anti-Hillary stuff is pro-Hillary when in reality she is a horrible candidate but for most people it's impossible to defend Trump as a whole, I mean you almost can't even get by one day without crazy, the problem I think you have is Trump crazy is rooted in reality so it's not tabloid like information that gets posted. Like he did say Obama founded ISIS so there isn't a Hillary equivalent to be found unless is some dishonest article or opinion pulled from the basement of the Internet. If you want to start a thread that is rooted in Hillary policy you want to discuss go for it and we can compared it to Johnson and Trump. Like something you are passionate about seems to be TPP, I'd love to learn more about it since all you seem to find is partisan talking points on it so different peoples opinions would be great and would help everyone learn something on here from different peoples knowledge and opinions. That means not memes, not "articles" from questionable sources, because when those get involved in going to not be serious because it doesn't warrant my time except to mock and have fun.
I admit I sometimes respond in kind to those who attack me and do not always "rise above it" like Wrangor. But you're right, I should not stoop to your level.
Nobody else is using profanity like you do. Don't act like we're on the same level as you
I posted this video earlier today. It's from CNN, which many of you consider credible. There has been ZERO interest shown by you or any other Clinton voters in discussing it.
This is a video of the State Department briefing from yesterday that I posted. Again, ZERO interest shown by the Clinton supporters on this board.
You folks have continually refused to engage with most of the bad news surrounding Clinton.
You have a problem with profanity? I had no idea you were so puritanical.
You don't respond to criticisms about anti-Hillary spamming with anti-Hillary spamming.
You're easy to ignore because you just throw up a link or clip with nothing else than a rant at the most.
Yeah, I have a problem with using profanity to attack people personally. It's not puritanical, it's common decency. And this is coming from someone who curses like a sailor in everyday conversation, but I would never call someone the names you call people on here
