Uncle Ted and his infinite wisdom

Don't compare liberals as a whole just based on people on this forum, especially Benmech. He's notorious for hurling insults not just in political debates but in any discussion on this board. I find the other side just to be as bad in general when I've been in political debates. The fact is both sides get way too extreme in terms of their intensity on their pov when in opposition of the other side.
I have a life beyond this forum. No insult intended. People I work with, hang with, hell, even a few in my family. And, 99% of them oddly enough fit my criteria in my posting.
 
I don't hate anybody who doesn't agree with me on something. I'm not going to sit here and hurl insults at liberal thinkers, either. I just don't get why it seems that liberals seem to be the more violent when disagreed with. You even said yourself it kinda seems like hypocrisy, Milton. The so-called tolerant and understanding liberals are the most vicious and belligerant people when you debate them. It has been proven time and time again on this forum alone. Just look at the insults I received when I defended my Roman Catholicism here in this forum. BenMech told me I had a curable mental problem because I pray. The term for liberals being a wolf-in-sheep's clothing is perhaps fitting.

I suppose people would call me a liberal.

I pray. Every night.

My comment simply was commenting on yours that stated "It has been proven time and time again on this forum alone.

I'm done with this thread as the liberals will fight their side to the death as will the conservatives, which at the end of the day won't accomplish a damn thing.

Exactly. This pissing contest is over for me, also.
 
I hate political discussions, as it always leads to someone getting pissed off, so I am glad the discussion is shifting back to music
 
Why is NUGENT an asshole? Because he doesn't agree with you? Again, here is the wolf-in-sheep's clothing persona of the left.

seriously? leftism has to do with him being a HUGE FUCKING PRICK? not really, he is an asshole just in general, did you not see his show? besides his politics he is a cocky bastard who really in this day and age doesn't have the right to be a cocky prick. sure, he wrote some cool songs, but to prop him up on some soapbox like he can do no wrong (outside of politics) is the problem.

he is an asshole in my book and always will be until i meet him face to face and he proves me wrong simply from what i have seen and read about him (and former band mates have said about him), does that fact keep me from playing my awesome Penetrator CD? not really.

pricks are pricks regardless of their political standing, usually.
 
also, i will go on record as saying racism, bigotry IS NOT ok in my book as an American. it's one thing to be intolerant, but to preach racism and hatred against others is where i draw the line. sure i am prejudiced, but i keep it to myself. we are all prejudiced, but it's how we chose to act or not act upon those feelings that make us who we are. so everyone in this country needs to buck up and realize we live on a pretty diverse planet, inhabit a stolen landmass and we are almost all descended from immigrants ours just got here before others did. :)
 
Yes, I'm glad the political, err, stranglehold has been lifted from the thread. :heh:

BRILLIANT!





So where do those of us with more of a centrist outlook fit into the whole discussion? lilly-livered fence-sittin' ambivalent nihilists?

"Why don't you get some CONVICTIONS, you worthless sack of compromise! Oh let's try to UNDERSTAAAAND those that disagree with you, rather than insult them or play like victims. Yeah that'll do LOOOOTS of good"
 
From http://www.bravewords.com/news/162134

"Get ready for a no holds barred interview on Piers Morgan Tonight when the journalist features outspoken rocker TED NUGENT. The two tackle freedom of speech, hunting, family - and everything in between.

It’s happening Wednesday, May 18 at 9 pm EDT (6 pm PDT) on CNN.

Piers Morgan has posted a video teaser of Nugent jamming on set via Twitter here. "
 
Nugent is one of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet. Sorry, but the things he said about Dimebag, Obama, and his entire argument for hunting makes me sick, among other things. I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

However, he is a monster guitarist. I'll give him that.
