Yeah, but it could be worse. I could assign demeaning nicknames to the people I disagree with.

First of all, 99.9% of the people have no control over the system, and hence no choice. They're just trying to survive in a system built and controlled by others.- Rue
Eh, Rue. You were asking above why I thought you believed in conspiracies? Here's why. -Geezer

EDITED TO ADD: Geezer, the only reason why you're getting into trouble in this thread is not because of your views. It's because of your attack-dog, political-operative, Rovian approach to debate. You've used EVERY trick in the book!

No, I don't assign demeaning nicknames to people I disagree with. I disagree with many people about almost everything, and with everyone about at least some things. And they all remain nickname-free. And out of all the people I interact with on this board, there are only four with special pet names. You'll have to try harder to figure out why you're "Slick".

"curbing global consumption of rain forests and looking into treaties involving conservation, but we choose not to, even in the face of catastrophic results,"
Do we really need the yellow-horned swamp frog? Are they worth more than our present quality of living? Is there not a way to manage forests so we always have them? Are rain forests overrated? Old growth forests? How much do we gain from having millions of acres of rain forest if no one except a handful of people go into them anyway?
I've heard the old wive's tale about the wonderful upside to medicine(not so sure it isn't overstated by a bunch of tree huggers who need a place to wear their $150 hiking boots). Sh*t or get off the pot. And can't we synthesis this stuff anyway? I say... Save the desert, we need the sand for the concrete to pave over the forests.

I do believe things have changed a bit since the 18th century. I realize that China, North Korea, and some of the countries in Africa, the Middle East, and other places may still be under dictitorial control. However, most of Europe and the Americas, plus big bits of the former British empire, have discovered this thing called democracy. You'll probably see it at work in a couple of weeks when the US Congress moves from majority Republican to majority Democratic. Claiming that 0.1% of the world population currently controls the other 99.9% to the point that they have no choice seems at least a bit paranoid to me.

Awww. I feel bad that I haven't made you feel as special as this makes me feel. Guess I just don't have the gift for insult you do. Any suggestions for your "special" name? While you're at it, how about one for SignyM?

I was just really curious about why Slick has such a freakishly huge …
butt hol ... I mean, need to lie. And about how big it truly was. So I went back to this exchange:
“WHY DO YOU SUPPORT BUSH?”
“JUST TO PISS YOU OFF!!!!”
You see, I have a timeline below. Slick joined (under his current name) early Jan 2004.
August 2004, almost exactly 8 months after joining, Slick posted his very first archived post. In it he taunted Knibblet for indirectly criticizing Bush.
His very first thread was 6 hours later, and was an anti-Kerry talking point.
Less than 36 hours after that he was claiming he was being poorly abused by being mischaracterized as a "Brainwashed Bushie". (He’s been playing Camille ever since.)
When you think about it, it's remarkable. In under four days he went from his very first post which happened to be pro-Bush, to his very first thread, which happened to be pro-Bush, to posing as a misunderstood non-partisan unfairly wearing a pro-Bush label, which oddly, no one had pinned on him, except, of course he himself.
So to get back to the exchange above: he claims he doesn't really support Bush but it was just too fun a game to quit. In fact it wasn’t until early October, 10 months after he signed on and two months after he came out of Bush’s closet, that there was an exchange between him and SignyM.
So it's obvious he doesn't support Bush just to piss of either SignyM or myself, or play a game. And clearly he lies – constantly, compulsively, and in service of Bush.
