Thank you too, HK and Frem, for trying to make peace.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, whatever. But thanks for the laugh!

CTS calls people gang-rapists by saying they did/ thought/ felt things that they never did. When she was called on it, she did what she always does... she climbed onto her cross. And you did what YOU always do... you got on your high horse defending asshole behavior. Yanno, there is no reason to "forgive" people for doing/thinking/ feeling things they never did, but if forgiveness was required you would not be one of the people justified in doling it out. The only person who forgave anyone in this thread was MAL4. I think I understand why CTS does what she does, but why you do what you do is a puzzle.

And here I expected an avalanche slide into flamewar - I am rather pleasantly surprised, would that I were wrong more often...
Believe me, it's not any comfort being right on something when most of the time those things are pretty awful, but nevermind that for now.

You know, it's proof of how not-on-either-side you are that I often can't get your meaning. Do you mean it's a strawman that the rightwing says we worship O? Or did you see my post as a strawman?
Nah, not your post - thing is, yea verily the rightwingnuts like to hold up that Obama-as-savior strawman when folk point out the difficulty of climbing uphill against the obstructionist tide of morons, even though nobody really holds that belief, it's just bullshit.
Thing is, there I went throwing harsh but fairly honest criticisms of the guy, only to get accused of advancing that particular strawman, which I was not - Obama might be the best of a bad lot, but that's a damn piss poor showing and an awfully low standard to be holding.
He can do better, we can do better, and we have a responsibility, a civic duty one might even call it, to MAKE that lazy bastard do better, and to kneecap the hell out of those who obstruct just for the sake of partisanship as well.
See, Anarchists are big on civic duty, they HAVE to be, cause without a Government to force the issue, to provide for it, they absolutely have to be willing to stand to without that nudge, and if they are not then that means they're fulla shit about not needing a Gov to get things done.
Of course, TRY telling some of them this without physically pounding it into their skull, now there's an exercise in frustration for ya, but I digress...
Quote:
Did O really claim to be a panacea? I mean, any more than any politician claims he or she will accomplish impossible tasks... Which of course fits right into your statement that both sides suck. I guess I tend to skip over some of that, because I take it as a given part of the process as it is today.
Well, as with all of em he made promises - but some of those promises were by no means hard to carry out, and didn't require him to find a way to ram them through the opposition, and yet he still did not keep them, and I found that a bit of a bitter pill to swallow.
Tis one thing to have the excuse of rabid opposition, but moral cowardice and political laziness is just unacceptable.
Quote:
Really? People who criticized Obama (in a reasonable way, not like the current example) got flamed?
Well, I did - mind you that was in respect to not calling these Corporate wall street jackasses to heel a LOT harder than was done, and now in hindsight that flameage doesn't seem so justified, but oh well.
You've never done so, mind - but an enormous pet peeve with me is when I encourage a stand about something, get told I am overreacting and extremist, and then thanks to no one standing up it then *DOES* get every fucking bit as bad as I called it, and when it's pretty much TOO LATE to do any goddamn thing about it the very same folks who pooh-poohed the notion of standing up WHEN IT MEANT SOMETHING dare whinge and whine about the very things they either allowed to happen or even cheered on... till it came back around and slapped them in the face just like I said.
Cases in point:
Giving cops Tasers without proper oversight and accountability of their use.
Allowing zero-tolerance bullshit in our schools, which then became the norm for airport security.
Not standing up for the rights of Youth in general, cause due to their less-than-pets legal/social/political status, they are often the test bed for invasive/oppressive measures which once codified and refined, *WILL* be applied against the people as a whole, just as Zero Tolerance became Airport Security, for example.
So you can imagine just how little sympathy I have for folk who say, supported Zero Tolerance in schools, when they come whine to me about being shaken down and harrassed at the terminal, right ?

CTS, I hope whatever is going unpleasantly for you improves soon, sometimes life sucks and it never seems to get any easier when things are going poorly. Best wishes.
The people who have said the worst things to/about me are Wish, Cav, Magon's, Kiki and Niki. Wish was my number one nemesis for a while but Cav has replaced her and she has moved down to number 2. Well technically my best friend's husband is my no. 1 nemesis because he's in real life. But that's neither here nor there.
The worst thing I've said to Kiki was saying that the kids in her neighborhood are probably scared of her and make up creepy stories about what happens if they step on her lawn. this was in response to her large volume of name calling in my name calling experiment last year, I thought I was giving punishment (reward?) for winning at most names called. Plus Kiki portrays herself as a cold and rather unfeeling person who likes to be mean for sport. As time goes by however I've seen that Kiki is not always that way, sometimes she is nice and caring and can be reasonable where others fail to be. I think Kiki's not so bad as I used to think. Though that improvement regarding her disposition was tested a couple of months ago when she was a snot to me. But dispite that hickup I'm trying to see the good in Kiki and I now know it is there, she just usually hides it, which is really a shame, because I think if people knew more about the good in her they'd get on with her better. I did apologize for saying that about her and I think she accepted. I was wrong to say that about the neighbor kids, it wasn't right and I'm still sorry I did it. I have this weakness in me where if I perceive, rightly or wrongly, time usually lets me know, that someone is cold and unfeeling, lacks empathy or doesn't have the capacity to love I really dislike that person and start pushing their buttons on purpose, to try and see if maybe I'm wrong about them, or maybe to make them angry, or something. But I now know, I figured it out about nine months ago, that Kiki does care about people and has good in her and so I try not to be mean to her anymore. I've definitely grown to like her better, with a few bumps in the road sure, but no one is perfect, and I do know now that she has some good qualities and actually does care about people in this world.
Cav: Well I almost insulted him i nGaeilge in my other current thread to prove my point, but I chose not to do that, so I really haven't said anything very bad about him.
Wish: When we got in that fight last year I said some things to her, insinuated morelike, sideways which were very unkind and were a little cruel, but I still secretly believe them to be true based on a compilation of her behavior on here. But she was asking for it in my opinion and what I said got the desired affect, it riled her visibly and soon after she settled down which was good.
I've had other times when I've written something really unkind and then deleted before posting, because being mean isn't the best way to get points across and my main point for being on here was to make friends, so I could talk to people even if I couldn't go anywhere and talk to people.
Oh, and Jack, I have said some mean things to Jack, but only when he asks for it, I believe I referred to him as trash once based on something he wrote that deeply troubled me. But he said I misunderstood what he wrote and I choose to believe that is correct, that I misunderstood. Because if I didn't misunderstand then I can't talk to him anymore.

Whoa. How did I manage to even rate on your nemesis scale, let alone achieve the top spot? 'Cause I thought you were dismissive of the crimes of St. Patrick??? Really?

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

See my post some pages back. Rione cannot tolerate to be disagreed with. You disagreed with her. Therefore you are her No 1 nemesis.
There is nowt as strange as folk....

This is my take on her - she has genuine external and internal conflicts.
I suspect due to her illness she was indulged and a low standard was set for her. And she indulges herself - if her life is short and inconsequential she might as well believe what makes her happy; facts, logic and the ability to discuss divergent views be damned. OTOH she truly depends on others for the necessities of life, so any disagreements have to be very, very covert. I think she's in a mental bind. She's too dependent to be upfront, and too self-indulgent to give up the fantasies and happy play-world in her head. But then, she comes across as really young. There's a saying I heard a while back that settles in as more true as times goes on - when we're younger we are the people we were raised to be, as we get older we become the people we were born to be. She's got a ways to go. IMHO

Thank you. It's gotten a lot better already, since yesterday.
As an aside, I found this funny, and accurate.
Rion, it is collage of 4 photos of Obama.
#1. Obama dressed as superman. Caption: What I think I do.
#2. Obama dressed as Jesus. Caption: What Democrats think I do.
#3. Obama dressed as Hitler. Caption: What Republicans think I do.
#4. Picture of G.W. Bush. Caption: What I actually do.

CTS: I say this, as a friend, with concern for your well being...

I AM JUST FACEPALMING SO HARD AT YOU RIGHT NOW CTS.
It is going to LEAVE A MARK.
Do I know that your point was the Obama = Bush picture in the lower right corner? Yes. Are you torpedoing your credibility faster than the frikkin' Lusitania by bringing up an Obama = messiah strawman? Oh good gravy yes.
There is fallout and repercussions all over in here.
And this is after you actually called people on this board PRO-GANG-RAPE. Including a person with a rape experience. And after you apologized and people didn't BELIEVE YOUR SINCERITY, you go ahead and, as 1kiki would describe it, went right back to posting an Obama = messiah picture, and probably just snarked your way into renewed hostility. You're out of control upset that you're losing friends but what is happening right here is that you're self-destructing in a remarkable and highly alarming fashion. Incredibly enough it's mostly accidental, but self-destruction here is no less determined.
And, lastly, you made me feel compelled to post here again and break my promises AGAIN so I could call you out on how you're making everything so much worse for yourself.
In short: What are you even DOING?
