Reply to The left and hatred in Democrat JoeUser Forums

Alright, so the left is intelligent enough to put up websites, and the right is stupid enough to meet together in redneck bars in Arkansas. So I'm ranting here, but what would you like me to say to that Brad? I mean honestly, there are rightwing groups in Oklahoma who speak vehemently about lynching democrats. I know, because I lived there. There are pamphlets and public access shows about how democrats, homosexuals, and jews are evil. Com

For instance, I'm a "conservative" according to your scale on Wars, but liberal on most everything else. Well, I guess that's mostly true. We should go back to the French system where the Majority are conservatives and the minority are liberals. Cheers

Pam, I seriously doubt that you would have voted democrat to begin with, so I have to say that your vote isn't a great loss. Cheers

Examples? Unfortunately most of them are no longer up, since they aren't relevant. But some people who had them: The American Heritage Institute Children First America The Heartland Institute. To name 3. Cheers

The thing is, you can only really get a good idea of both sides by reading both statements. Cheers

Actually there were a number of websites in the Clinton era that planned out acts of petty vindictiveness. There were also far more actual acts of vindictiveness than there are currently. cheers

Not all us lefties are hate mongering angry people. But just so we're clear, there's enough hatred on both sides. Cheers

With respect to Super and Brad, I think it takes both sides and paints them as absolutes. I think it's also tinted by conservative lenses. I'm not saying that Super is completely wrong, just that as Super says "how I [super] describe certain beliefs as opposed to how they are often described by their own supporters." I agree with Saint on this one. Unfortunately this is just another attempt to s

The problem is Brad, I think he's in his teens and not mature enough to have an intelligent discussion with those who disagree with him. I should hope that any blog that heaps abuse on any of person who comments on this site should be deleted. Cheers

Ahh, but since most people are not in the Navy, in fact are civilians, the dictionary definition is more valid. Bush had on the flight suit in order to make people think it was a uniform. Cheers

Now now Brad, you should read some of the blogs from the conservative christian crowds. They're definitely not polite, at least as often as the lefties are rude. The problem I think Brad is that the Righties tend not to be rude towards you since you're of the like mind. Of course there are those of us on both sides who dislike rudeness, so, don't paint us all with the broad brush. Cheers

Reply to Al Qaeda's not playing a game, Islamo Fascism is real in Politics JoeUser Forums

pikuto, I suggest you read the Koran, unfortunately the ignorance about it you spout in your post is indicative of many people's views onthe religion, but it doesn't mesh with the realities of traditional Islam. The idea of the Jihad as a violent action was always considered a last resort, unfortunately early Islam was surrounded by polytheistic groups which sought to violently end Islam. Read some more. Cheers

Alrighty then, it appears as if we to share common ground. Again, my apologies if I painted you with too broad a liberal brush. It seems then as if my arguement with both you, Karma, and Brad is over taxes, and well, I can live with having that be our sole arguement. Cheers

Agreed. I don't think SSD should be eliminated however since there are people who are on it who are on it for legitimate reasons. I believe there should be better regulation, and perhaps hiring of more employees so they can check up on those people who are abusing the system. Once again, your belief is, and if I'm restating to simply please let me know, that since some people abuse the system we should eliminate it, and my belief is

I take the name "relapse" from the most common form of the disease, "relapsing, remitting", which means the person will suffer the symptoms and then, usually, recover. As for treatments, Interferon beta 1-a, has shown, in clinical studies, and actual use to prevent or reduce the number and frequencies of "relapses". One of it's more common names is "Rebif". I have said, repeatedly, there is NO CURE for MS, there are some treatments however. In fact

jeblackstar, you need to learn more about MS and autoimmune diseases if you think that there is much they can do to "help" it. Most treatments for autoimmune diseases end up harming you more in the long run that the disease itself does. The only time that they usually even "treat" you is when there is main organ involvement or

While I respect that you are one of those small businessmen who have taken a pay cut to pay for your employees salary, my experience in Law and as someone who solicits donations from Alumni of my university shows that many if not most of small businessmen do not fall in this catagory. For that matter, many small businessmen, in fact again I would argue most, do not pay themselves 200k a year. Most of the small businessmen I know run ski operations, h

I think the problem with your thinking Brad isn't that you believe it's a wonderful thing that people can do it on their own, because it is, but you think that no one should have the help available for them. We need to change the way society thinks, so that they do acomplish things on their own, but there were probably medications which your mother could have gotten for MS which would have prevented, or at least helped prevent relapses. Those medicin

The problem with BPD, OCD, and chemical depression is that 1) people who have them, don't want to admit they have them and so won't take their drugs and 2) people with drug seeking behaviors often want to be diagnosed with them in order to receive the drugs that have mood altering properties. Super Baby, if you have been diagnosed you should definitely get a second opinion, but since the disorder can be harmful to yourself and others you shoul
