@bhu I'm sorry but I can't quote that, so I can't reply to it either. I do wish you would find some better people to be around. Wholesome organizations are not hard to find. Feel free to PM me for personal suggestions to help with stress and conflict resolution.
They changed how it would be classified because the SC said "if you change this to a tax, it will be fine". Although I'm not entirely sure what your problem is here. Is it that people on the left don't call themselves communists? Or that they don't say fascist? If the former, of course. If the later, are you high or something? Liberals all over call the Republicans fascist.
You suspiciously didn't answer the Ron Paul question, so I'll say: it seems you are saying the bill was changed after and in response to the SCotUS ruling. Please verify.
And no, I'm not high. I'm saying that the liberals I've met (many, of all kinds) usually don't call Republicans fascist as a knee jerk reaction. Please be fair to the left here.
I question your statistic. Also, most republican politicians today say they want to get rid of all social programs, then say they want to keep the ones that people who vote for them use. It's hypocrisy, yes, but that's what they say. And Libertarians are even more strict about it.
My inference you mean. My statistic was of those I knew in my personal life. I suppose we could tally those with (R) in their name, and getting them to answer that question wouldn't be more difficult than getting an answer on any other question.
You prefer things civil, yet imply that Robby is dumb, insult bhu, and accuse me of trolling?
I don't really think he's stupid, but I did certainly imply he was saying dumb things. He stood by much of what he's said, so there's little for me to do. And I've not nearly been as -- er -- passionate as bhu. As for you, conditional statements are not accusations. But correcting you is tiresome. So yes I'm discussing all this
despite my better judgement, partly because you said I couldn't.
you're the board's sole openly conservative poster.
Lol. Where did I say that? When I laughed for pages after the last thread I got sucked into (I didn't have the time or the command of German to put the final nail in the coffin, though)?
It still amuses me. I have never nor will I ever be called that by anyone who knows me.
All I've ever said is that I'm fair. If fairness is conservative then I suppose I have no defense. There's more of that fairness above concerning the facism comment. Everything that I'm trying to put the brakes on here is for fairness. It's not my fault the direction is raging to the left as you say.
you're taking things personally when others express opinions and beliefs differing from your own. Accusing others of trolling and insulting people's intelligence does nothing but hurt your side and simply reinforces negative opinions people may have about conservatives
Feel free to find an example. There's one up there of a personal attack and I (as usual) respond simply (I'm not high) and then continue on about the issues.
Feel free to compare my posts to, say, Soro's.
I always read what he has to say but I've gone on the record several times by saying that he needs to tone it down. Logically you should have done that to him more than me. I could have been missing that, since I don't have much time for these forums for the last year or so. I don't know. Then again he will bite back disproportionally (unlike me).
state your views without getting in the mud. It not only helps you personally by avoiding unnecessary drama, it also helps your side's argument.
Ah here's the crux. I have taken no side. That would cause one of two things depending on which.... Actually, I'm not going to spell it out since you seem to be willing to read between the lines.
