Members draelyc Posted August 8, 2006 Members Share Posted August 8, 2006 Originally posted by batotman Yeah I posted that but in NO reference to your lame signature. Oh, so you haven't been harping on my signature, even when it has nothing to do with the discussion at hand? My bad. All your conspiracy theoriesWhat conspiracy theories? I've put forth no conspiracy theories at all.Once again, I invite you to produce (unaltered) quotes of mine, indicating otherwise.If you can't, I once again invite you to shut the hell up. that have no basis in fact....seems like a good place to start. Maybe your complete defense of Clinton with no leg to stand on. A. What complete defense of Clinton? Where I have I ever defended him completely? (Again, I invite you to produce unaltered quotes... which you can't, because I haven't done what you falsely claim I have.)B. With no leg to stand on? So you're saying there was *nothing* good about Clinton's presidency? The official White House position on his presidency disagrees with you...

Members draelyc Posted August 8, 2006 Members Share Posted August 8, 2006 Originally posted by batotman Yes somehow George Bush is completely incompetant. Just a cowboy from Texas who wasn't fit for Governor or President. Yes, now you've got it. That's it exactly. Yet at the same time your kind"My kind"? How long have you been a racist? spout off how he is the most evil genius since Hitler. Sigh. This is getting old. I have never, once, anywhere characterized Bush as ANY kind of "genius," evil, good, or purple. Once again, I invite you to produce (unaltered) quotes of mine where I've "spout[ed] off how he is the most evil genius since Hitler."You can't, because I never did. But go ahead & try, if it'll make you feel more like a man.How's the straw-man technique workin' for ya today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members draelyc Posted August 8, 2006 Members Share Posted August 8, 2006 Originally posted by Loghead No, I don't think you misread me. I think I jammed thoughts about Bush relying on others to make decisions for him into a analogy for not following and incompetent leader. Never mind. I wonder what the other project I'm working on really looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members draelyc Posted August 8, 2006 Members Share Posted August 8, 2006 Originally posted by Loghead When did conspiracy become part of the conversation? When echo-scmoo & boat-head realized their gibberish was becoming a bit too obvious -- they needed some kind of diversion, to avoid having to THINK about what they were saying.

Members Craggin Posted August 8, 2006 Members Share Posted August 8, 2006 I'd just venture a guess that most religious affiliated schools would fall in the conservative camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members batotman Posted August 8, 2006 Members Share Posted August 8, 2006 Your "facts" you posted on the # of deaths in Iraq to support Michael Berg's imaginary number seems to smack of conspiracy theorist. Implying that the actual official numbers are completely incorrect. Your complete disregard for actual examples of media bias and rebutting them with {censored}ing BLOGS as if they were CBS. Oh i don't know but I'd really rather not spend my day searching through a 42 page thead to "nail you" on things. Where do you want to take the discussion next? To Clinton? Back to Michael Berg? Cindy Sheehan? I'm all ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Implying that the actual official numbers are completely incorrect. The death toll is actually really difficult to prove since our government won't publish official numbers. The closest data I've been able to find is: Iraq Body Count A few things I've noticed about that site is that it appears to only count civilian deaths...they also take a while to update the numbers because they claim they try to cross check for accuracy. Also, I don't believe the figures include soldiers. Oh, and they do state that they only use reported figures, which they admit is probably a low number as many deaths go unreported.

Members Loghead Posted August 8, 2006 Members Share Posted August 8, 2006 Originally posted by Echoes BIOLA University:D is Conservative...Wheaton College is conservative.... Cal Berkeley is DEFINITELY NOT conservative..... Most 'Ivy League' colleges are left-wing Most 'state' colleges are left-wing Most in the University 'system' are left leaning there are some conservatives in these places (obviously) but they are typically outnumbered on American College campuses... http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2005/04/11/liberal_bias_in_the_ivory_tower/ Yeah, but I'm asking you for the names of universities of which you approve. You list two, Biola and Wheaton. Is that it?Why do you suppose that conservatives are so "under-represented"? Do you not agree with Lakoff's statement in the article you cite?

Members Echoes Posted August 8, 2006 Members Share Posted August 8, 2006 Originally posted by draelyc I didn't yell "conspiracy"; I yelled "INCOMPETENCE!"

Members Loghead Posted August 8, 2006 Members Share Posted August 8, 2006 Originally posted by Craggin Noice. I said "most religious affiliated schools". Actually...are they? (Notre Dame...I really don't know) Notre Dame is a Catholic school that is, in my opinion, rather conservative. It is an excellent institution is some respects, but progressive thinking is not one of its hallmarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
