BS: Censorship at Dem Nat'l Convention

GUEST, my point is you have said you would choose a naked, cold death on the street over working with the political parties. This undercuts your claim that it's about choosing a more beautiful life. It's clearly about ANYTHING being better than working with parties for you, not about a more or less beautiful life. It's about hatred of the system, not a positive choice.

Here's what I think. By taking the stance that anyone with a chance of being elected is not worth your time, you absolve yourself of all responsibility. You don't have to achieve anything; in fact if you DID achieve anything it would undermine your worldview that it's all stacked against you.

Not the messenger, GUEST. It's the inherently self-contradictory and thus dishonest MESSAGE I have consistently argued with. If you can't type a few posts without contradicting yourself, it becomes pointless to read your posts.

Doesn't matter, the thread is dead Nerd. Once everyone starts attacking the person rather than addressing the issue, the thread is a flame fest, and there is no longer any point in participating.

Especially with sanctimonious mothers of too precious four year olds.

how exactly can a four year old be too precious? Seriously. Give it up dude. You proclaim the thread to be dead because you shot yourself in the foot big time and you have no way to claim moral superiority now. You know very well I'm not sanctimonious just as you know that four year olds, be they american iraqi malawian, are not expendable - I just took you by surprise by being entrenched in and just as knowledgable as you pretend to be about leftist politics but confessing to be honestly confused about what to do about this election.

It seems it has become more important for you to condemn than discuss. You need to spend WAY less time tooting your own horn and do some actual work to make a difference. Or is your CHOICE to be "an artist living on the fringe" enough to absolve you from anything more productive than snide remarks and occasionally regurgitating things you read on Z. You are not a martyr, you are part of the problem. Face it and do something about it. You are just as dead as the thread darlin'.

And your post has what exactly to do with the censorship at the DNC or the election?

Oh right. You don't want to talk politics. You just want to play the flame game with the person whose opinions you disagree with--or is it because I took some shots at Big Mick? Maybe you are one of those Mudcat Defenders, Ms My Babys So Precious.

My feet are working as well as your flame thrower. I'll leave the morally superior high ground to you and Big Mick. I am now carrying on this same conversation elsewhere, so this thread hardly matters. You're just disappointed that I won't play your lame game.

So long, toots.

what an ass.

Guest, if you wished to DISCUSS politics, you never showed it.   When someone challenged your points you either ignored the challenge or attacked the poster. You are nothing but a cowardly weasel who talks a good game but never commits.   Artist? That is very doubtful. Art usually celebrates the human spirit. You have shown that you are souless.

Guest 2, I believe you have me confused with someone who gives a shit about your opinions.

If you didn't care, why did you respond? If this thread is dead, why do you come back? Simple, it is because you enjoy the abuse. Please, dearie, take a night away from the your ivory tower and see a counselor. It is amazing what they can do with drugs.

of course you give a shit! The only reason you are posting is because it makes you feel important. The fact that everyone else sees through your BS really bothers you and you reacts the way you do. It doesn't take a shrink to read your posts and figure out that you are a guy that has been a lazyass most of your life and you lash out and blame everyone else for your problems.   You fancy yourself a radical because you seek an easy answer. As soon as someone comes back at you with logic you panic and start attacking them, with "witty" comebacks such as "yu have me confused with someone who gives a shit about your opinions".   Brilliant! What's next, "I'm rubber and your glue"?   Go back to school.

Thanks for showing me the light Mick. My returning to the thread is a sign of mental illness, but you doing it proves you Mr. Well Adjusted? I don't think so!

I keep coming back for the jaunty dialogue. I don't give a shit what you think of me Mick, just like I don't give a shit what anybody here thinks of me.

You, on the other hand, keep coming back for your holier than thou moral reasons, which makes you a bloody glutton for punishment.

So have it your way. You keep coming after me Mick, and I'll give as good as I get. I got no qualms about it.

You consider what you give to be "good"?   You seem like a lightweight with the arguements you've given here. Not much of a challenge
