TheNiche Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 What's the point of this thread? To make people hate more? To remind them to hate? To give people a reason to hate?Isn't there enough hatred in the world and on the internet without creating any more? This applies to all of the political hatred out there: don't hate elected officials for believing or doing what they do. They're only mortals. Hate the folks who voted for them. And as for the pundits/entertainers/clowns, don't hate them; they also are only mortals. They happen to be well-spoken and some people find them entertaining. There are innumerable basically-anonymous others like them without a channel to read the public. Hate the media executives that enable them. Or just recognize that they're only pandering to elements within society that already generally agree with them, acting as a mirror to our own society. It's also helpful to remember that individuals can appreciate an entertainer's work without necessarily becoming sheeple. The 'magic bullet' theory of communication is a load of bunk. ^I submit this to you all in a bipartisan way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptarmigan Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Good point, E. Also, not a single poster has mentioned Osama bin Laden. (You French Fry eaters! I hate you all. ) Osama bin Laden deserves to be on the Most Evil list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Rich Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Don't forget Dubya...After today, the liberals and democrats won't be able to blame Dubya anymore. Who will they blame when the financial crises doesn't get any better?Who will they blame when Israelis and Palestinians continue to fight? Who will they blame when they can't get the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan on schedule? Who will they blame when the Social Security system continues to go bankrupt? Who will they blame when Iran continues to threaten Israel and the United States? Who will they blame when the government doesn't provide free health care to all citizens? Who will they blame when global warming continues to increase? Who will they blame when gasoline prices go up? THEY own the House of Representatives. THEY own the Senate. THEY own the Presidency. THEY own the Cabinet. Who will they blame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevfiv Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 After today, the liberals and democrats won't be able to blame Dubya anymore.That's not true...And blame should go to all those that helped/forced a ton of bad policy and decisions over the years - policies that were detrimental to citizens and will continue to be for many, many years.People will blame Obama for not fixing everything (because he can't in his term, no matter how long it may be) - but hopefully he will start turning the gears in a positive direction...

John Rich Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Oh, goody. One of my favorite things--an FNG wasting no time in Way Off Topix.Most hated people:DubyaConservativesRepublicansChristiansThere. Is that better for you?Yes, that's a much more constructive dialog. <sarcasm>But wait, let's try some logic. Why are people hated? Because they're to blame for things that have gone wrong. So blame and hate go together. That's why some people hate President Bush, because he is perceived as being to blame for everything that has gone wrong. Thus, we can now jump forward to the new Obama administration. Now that there aren't any republicans or conservatives in leadership positions any more upon whom blame can be heaped, and to despise for what has gone wrong, upon whom will the liberals and democrats now heap blame and hate when their own policies fail?Maybe you should try judging posts by their facts and logic, rather than by the number of overall posts they've made.

If you want to call it logic, that's fine too. We've already beaten that horse to death. Sorry, but nothing in this thread or your post is adding anything to that conversation.

I debated about including Quanell X on that list, but as of late, he seems to be changing course on his hatred and seems to be maturing. While initially I couldn't STAND the man, I have to reevaluate him. In fact, he was in the Houston Press this past week, after reading most of that article, I am going to give him a pass and I don't do that to people very often.

John Rich Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I have. By reading this thread, I have been able to determine that you're a new guy who wants to give his political opinion.Your original descritpion of me was "FNG", or "f--king new guy". It's nice of you to now sweeten that up without the profanity. Perhaps that's a recognition that you now realize that wasn't very proper. Maybe if you had done that in the first place, it wouldn't have raised my hackles in response.But now that we've eliminated the profanity, there's still the phrase "new guy". What does that mean, exactly? Why do you bother to point that out? Is there something less valuable about the opinions of new guys? If you were King of this forum, would there be some mandatory number of postings required before you would give credence to someone's points?Once again, newness means nothing. Judge a man by what he says, not how long he's been around.Because if you want to go that route, we can talk about how little worldly political experience the new President of the United States has. So which way do you want to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, since you chose to go into a subject matter of which the "oldtimers" have long since tired...in your first half dozen posts, no less...there was the predictable groaning and eye rolling amongst many of the more seasoned forumers. Let's face it, you didn't exactly break new ground here. But, around here, we do respect your right to say what's on your mind. We might even get dragged into responding to it. And, there are certainly several posters who would agree with you.Enjoy your stay at HAIF. If you need me, I'll be over at the "cyclists are evil" thread.

pineda Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Rush Limbaugh... he said he wants Obama to fail... how disgusting... how un-American! Hey, I actually saw that interview tonight, too. And, I guess that's all you took away from the piece. What I heard him say was that if Obama sticks to a sound financial plan to help out America, he hopes he succeeds. If Obama instead wants to try a "New Deal" form of Socialism, he wants him to fail, as Socialism doesn't work. I thought the funnier part came later when Fran Drescher announced that she wants Hillary Clinton's Senate seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
