[quote]Are you trying to justify your over reaction?[/quote] Just thinking outloud about why I think he made the comment. Kind of rolling the thoughts around.
JJ, I do get the point of the question. Yeah, I should've put a bit more in my reply so it would imply such. All I was trying to say is that I do wonder if it's me, and that's why I check, thats why I have checked. I'm not saying it's not me, but asking why. Why am I not, when things point various directions. [quote]You keep reinventing yourself here at JU to be understood but every iteration of you leaves us with more questions.[/quote] What questions?
[quote who="Adventure-Dude" reply="9" id="1924424"] He insulted my intelligence by including that I should read the real book, and not the comic book version. He's made comments like this before. Granted, I'm name calling, but if someone is being an asshole - I'll call a spade a spade. AR, take in to consideration CONTEXT here. Has Doc been pretty respectful in his answers to you? YES. Unlike many other here. I suspect that Doc was only clarifying what he mea
[quote]Do you ever question if it's just you? Why is it always that no one around you 'gets it'?[/quote] I have JJ, boy have I. I've asked multiple people that I know and people I barely know. They've all said what I said made sense, but that perhaps I'm not getting it across right. I feel like I'm saying things very simply, but in the end I'm just banging my head against a wall.
[quote]Lucas, you behave like a petulant child. Why don't you go find some other children to play with? You're embarrassing yourself here.[/quote] Oh right, and when others here act like that it's all fine and dandy, right? Please. Where's the same attitude to others when they do that? I just find it funny that I've never said I agreed with what the kid did, and made the point of saying such, yet Doc here assumes that I do. So...lets look at that again. <
[quote]I'm not sure why you are calling Doc names. He simply suggested a book (not the comic version) that conforms to the similar ideologies you are promoting here. There was no insult there. Oy Vey![/quote] He insulted my intelligence by including that I should read the real book, and not the comic book version. He's made comments like this before.

[quote]You did not read the link. And the theme is "the left is such an angry bunch" and that was just another nail in the coffin. Stabbings happen all the time. But this demonstrated the point 2 ways: 1. 220 times! You dont have to be a moron to realize that is excessive and born of extreme anger, not dispassionate thought. 2. The perp was a blogger at the Puffington Host - a noted whacked out liberal left site. But for your education since you apparently CANT read, the perp was female and s
[quote] No, what I am "offering" is reality. I don't know what alternate universe you live in, but most people have lives and jobs..and the man stated in the article HE DIDN'T KNOW WHO WAS DOING IT. He wasn't home when this occurred and in fact wasn't home the third time it happened after he took the fence down. Thieves and vandals are funny like that, waiting until they know the owner is gone before perpetrating the crime. <
[quote]Do they tell you where your charity goes nationally? You are confused again. I suggest you read Animal farm (not the comic book version).[/quote] Ya know Doc, you can be one hell of an asshole. That being said, I've read it, and have it on my bookshelf.
[quote] Don't be ignorant. Putting up a fence is hardly taking the law into his own hands. In fact, lots of people use fences to protect their property. Crazy radical ain't it? [/quote] [quote] Really? Is that what he did? Funny. Looked like he just put an electric dog fence on his own property to me.
Let me rephrase that, "It's frowned upon." Rule of law essentially, if we all started taking the law into our own hands, then there goes our entire law system and civil order.
[quote]A homeowner has the right to use his property as he sees fit, so long as it doesn't violate local laws and ordinances. An electric pet fence doesn't violate the law as stated in the article. I can't imagine being indignant with a neighbor over what they do on their own property because it interfered with my kid's vandalism. [/quote] Vigilantism Tova, it's not allowed for a reason. That's what this man did, he took the law into his own hands. If things were designed t
For the record, in case some of you didn't get it when I mentioned it. I don't agree with the welfare system as it is now, when it comes to supporting those who won't work or find work. I'm all for a system that helps people help themselves. I don't think we should get rid of it because then we're pretty much screwing those hardworking people who've fallen on hard times for whatever reason. If someone has had something happen, and they need a little help, by all
[quote]Time and time again you wonder 'what went wrong?' when you aren't treated well, and more often than not, you end up blaming this on me. People don't dislike you because they like *me*, Lucas. They dislike you because you're *you.*[/quote] Whip, my war with you is over; it's been over for a long time, so I'd appreciate it if you just to stop firing at me and leave me be. No matter what you say about me in terms of trying to kick the puppy, I know I'm a good guy. I know</
[quote]Thank you for answering my question. Tell mommy and daddy hi.[/quote] Again with the childish stuff, what gives?
Whether or not the parents were involved, and whether or not the child new whether ir was wrong or not...the guy should NEVER have done what he did. Frankly, it was stupid of him. There's no justifying it, a responsible adult wouldn't do it. [quote] First, they came pounding on the owner's door because their kid was shocked vandalizing a neighbor's property? I'd be knocking on the door offering an apology if it were my kid, not indigna
[quote]Lucas the problem with your or anyone else's socialism is the fundamental fact that someone ELSE is telling how much and how often I should contribute to the betterment of society. In addition to the fact that someone ELSE again gets to determine WHERE that money goes. If you aren't smart enough to figure that one out then, that would be why you support socialism? If so, don't impose your nanny state on me, just go back and live with mommy and daddy.[/quote]
quote]Heh, Mason, if you haven't figured it out yet, 'AnthemRoad' is our old buddy Lucas, reinvented for the umpteenth time.[/quote] Thanks whip, not like I didn't mention it in my very first article. Nope, of course not. [quote]I have. For some 40 years or so. Didn't say you were 'e'fing stupid,' just endearingly naive and ignorant (in the academic sense, not the pejorative). What would you suggest as a candidate for 'the greate
[quote]Yes, the left is a very angry Bunch: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,445044,00.html Police: Huffington Post Writer Stabbed Ex-Lover 220 Times With Screwdriver[/quote] That one guy; one guy, doesn't represent every frigging liberal/lefty. Dear God, sometimes people are completely illogical. You're all taking things way too personal. Politics isn't about the parties or who is what, but getting things solved.
[quote]My son is a front page editor of a medium sized newspaper after graduating as a communications major. I also have a friend who writes a column once a week in one of our local papers. Both say the media is very biased and in only one direction. My friend who writes an op-ed column said he had to leave the biggest newspaper in the state because it was so slanted. They were always on him making sure he didn't get too far away from their side of
[quote]These statements betray a rather frightful ignorance of history and a naivete that is perhaps endearing but nuts.

Still it wasn't "the greatest evil of our time." If the McCarthy era had never happened then I honestly - imo - I dont think communism would be such a worrysome thing by people. The PTAP w
[quote]I disagree...Socialism and Communism by virtue of being what they are can not under any circumstances ever "work" for the good of the people.[/quote] Well it's your right to disagree, but facts are facts, and they were both designed to help the people. That's my socialism, is the kind that HELPS people. [quote]What do you mean? Of course it does. OUr Founders wanted to "insure domestic tranquillity" through the Constitution as the framework of our government.
