Is that really the best response you could muster? A pathetic image? I expected better of you.[/quote:16k958sg]A Troll said:GasBandit said:
A pathetic response. GB is expected, nay, it is his responsibility to post images. I give you a 0/10, should not troll again.

It was a very pathetic attempt at trolling, would have been blatantly obvious even if you hadn't identified yourself as one. It required nothing more than the graphic illustration of you falling on your face so hard it broke the step.
Of course, if you REALLY MEANT it.... HAAAAA ha ha ha ha ha ha! :teeth:
Jake - eh, lighten up, read and laugh.

Shit. I never realized naming myself "A Troll" would tip people off. You win this time, but I'll be baaaaaaack! *drops down an escape hatch*GasBandit said:
On a serious note, I thought I would contribute with a gem from the AP wire. Apparently Mr. President-Elect Obama plans to worry about the deficit later. While I understand the logic, I still think it's a problematic approach to the country's financial problems.

FORD on the other hand says "No Thanks"..
I was and am highly opposed to any bailout that simply gives these companies money, but the 17.4 Billion is a LOAN that they have to pay back, and is from the bank bailout, so it's not exactly extra. FORD on the other hand wants billions in CREDIT ... WTF, Ford?! You don't operate a business that way.. if people don't buy your shit, you either fold or make better merchandise.
:blargh: :blargh: :blargh: :blargh:

I know my credit cards and line of credit are borrowed money. What sort of non-borrowing credit are you saying Ford wants?The Neon Grue said:

Taking the stats from this Pew Research Center Report as a source, I think that the pro-gay-marriage members of the Democratic Party outweigh undecideds and those opposed by a small margin - my calculations could be off (there's a lot of confusing charts to work through), but I think about 51% are for.
Besides, they're certainly more amenable to it on average than Republicans.

After leading the state in abstinence education funding and HIV/AIDS cases, Dallas decides it's probably a good time to re-evaluate that 13-year-old free condom distribution ban.
A note attached to the bag of heads warned "For every one of mine you kill, I'm going to kill 10 of yours." Movie? No. Mexico? Yes.

CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) - A jury has convicted 5 men of plotting to kill soldiers on Fort Dix, and has acquitted all of attempted murder.
That's some good journalism there, Lou. Yay AP.
The Bush-Shoe-thrower is a metrosexual. Just lookit 'im.
Speaking of, Barney Frank doesn't approve of Obama's choice for inaugural shaman.
The UN continues its well known legacy of effectiveness, Iran is helpless before their might. HANS BRIX?!

That gays shouldn't be allowed to marry is also an opinion, but we're told time and again that to hold that point of view is intolerance of the highest order. As a matter of fact, that's why Warren is getting nailed like he is.A Troll said:
Just to be clear, I'm in favor of allowing gay marriage.
Minnesota Ballot
This vote was counted for Al Franken by the Minnesota Canvassing Board. Anyone care to tell me how that fuck THAT happened?

By condemning gay marriage, you are condemning an entire lifestyle which may or may not be the result of unavoidable genetic predisposition. Is the disapproval of other people getting married in that particular way really so integral to one's lifestyle?Armadillo said:
Just sayin'.

I don't disagree. My point is that believing that gays shouldn't be married, whether you agree or not, is an opinion, just like Barney Frank's feelings about Rev. Warren is an opinion. Troll said that Frank was just expressing an opinion, which is not intolerance, yet the aforementioned gay marriage opinion is seen as horribly intolerant. Rev. Warren is intolerant of gay marriage, Barney Frank is intolerant of Rev. Warren.Iaculus said:
My point was this: Espy was taking a potshot at a liberal for saying he doesn't like the particular reverend, and sarcastically equating that to intolerance (which is essentially synonymous with hate speech in the eyes of the PC crowd). I don't think it helps matters to try and turn that "intolerant" label around. It should just be dropped from discussion, and we should go back to allowing people to express opinions even if those opinions go against popular thinking.Armadillo said:

Quoting Obama
Both are famous leaders wielding lots of influence in their circle. Both care for the environment. Both are helping the poor. Both wish for better AIDS awareness. Hell, Obama even attended an AIDS convention hosted by Warren himself.
And finally, both guys knew that they were on opposite sides on the gay marriage issue. Yet, they're willing to let go of that difference, accept each other's views and still be friends. According to the media, such friendship is as real as the unicorn.
In conclusion.
You don't have to agree with each other on every damned issue to be friends. Likewise, you don't have to disagree with each other on every damned issue to be foes.
Obama's bridged the gap between blacks and whites. Why not with gays and churches?
