Well, I mean not for adults who know better. Those teens and their hormones are a different story. I was not arguing whether she should get it or not, just arguing what I believe she was arguing. > I didn't realize I had to explain my opinion is an opinion in a forum like > this. > My opinion is after all the shit I heard from the left the last couple > of years what Rush said was not offensive > and I thought it was > actually funny to throw it back at them. Just because the left does it doesn't make it any less offensive when the right does it. See? Confrontational.

Hate away if you must, I'm not the one with issues. I am hardly gutted over it. I voiced my opinion that Rush was a dickhead and wrong in this instance, and then I somehow got drawn into this tit for tat with you. I have issues, sure, but I don't believe you don't. My issues are not wrapped up in which side said what. I am pretty middle of the road. I agree with some things the Republicans supposedly believe and also some that the Democrats do. Maybe even a libertarian idea or two. THAT is what pisses me off. Drawing a line in the sand and then fighting over which side is right, no pun intended. > I almost never "open" a political discussion.

I mean the first few comments you make when you do jump in. Your opening words, more or less. > Also, I do not polarize people.

One was being mean.

Do you want me not > to like him? I was simply arguing my interpretation of what Fluke was saying in her testimony. It is my position she was mostly talking about medical birth control. I do see how someone could take it the way you do. That's all. > Did I ever say you were unreasonable? I do I am pretty sure you did once or twice, equating my ability to have a reasonable discussion as being on the level of Larry and Dana, and we know what you think of their arguments. :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:348108 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
