(15) 16 Aug 08, 1:07 AM 902-660-194 US(PA), 3 yrs oh good lord people, haven't you ever said something "my granddad always said..." or "mom used to say..." its a common saying, "never discuss religion or politics" anyways,, if the subject line had said something like... "democrat vs republican" or "issues with the prez" then yeah, i wouldn't have bothered to click & read (this is being said nicely btw) but since it was such a hard attack on someone, i did. i didn't get nasty, i gave an opinion that i have heard/read by tons of people tons of times. excuse the shit outta me for not having "your" opinion or "the majority's" opinion & excuse the shit outta me for attempting to avoid more drama over sticky situations. this is pathetic...really the sting of His whip~ the welts from His crop~ the warmth of His kiss~ the click of the lock~ assures me i am His most cherished possession. 16 Aug 08, 2:52 AM obielax US(OH), 9 mths Y! 902-660-194 wrote: oh good lord people, haven't you ever said something "my granddad always said..." or "mom used to say..." its a common saying, "never discuss religion or politics" That is part of a common saying. (snip) excuse the shit outta me for not having "your" opinion or "the majority's" opinion & excuse the shit outta me for attempting to avoid more drama over sticky situations. I have no idea what your opinion is, other than disscusing my opinon in a public space was a rude thing to do. this is pathetic...really This last statment is a atempt to avoid drama? Please (re)read the first amedment before you tell me what to(or not to) say or where I can say it. Personaly I think that trying to impeach the shrub at this point is like paying the early termnation fee on your cell phone a month before the contract is up.

On one hand I agree but if we don't protest it looks like acceptance. Or we can show that world that we'll impeach a president over a blowjob (or for lying about a blowjob) but we're fine with a president who (among other things) has caused the death of thousands of people (and lied to the American people about the circumstances that led to the "war"? And lied about torture?). McCain got screwed last time around by his own party: Carl Rove had pollers calling southerners saying, "Would you be more or less likely to vote for John McCain...if you knew he had fathered an illegitimate black child?" Lovely people we have running this country. Going with the flow has only made it worse, you know?

Yes, I agree but if we impeach the shrub, look who is left. We would need to impeach both of them at once or (imho) we are out of the frying pan and in to the fire.

What was said was that to shush other people and attempt to limit what they can and cannot discuss is the issue and not acceptable. Whatever I might think of Bush - and my big problem with him is Guantanamo Bay - what drew me into the conversation was the idea of ruling out politics as a suitble subject for discussion in public fora. Apart from the slight daftness of the idea because politics IS public and how our leaders behave should never be hidden behind closed doors, censorship, is always always bad. You are entitled to whatever view you want on Bush or any other political matter but not to supress debate. I am increasingly concerned with the growth of censorship in the USA and have discussed it with american friends a number of times. It seems very odd in a country which likes to think of itself as a shining light of democracy and free speech, that's all. And by the way before we get to it,, as we usually do sometime, I keep my opinions on politics on your side of the pond to areas I can read about and grasp, and the vast majority of the citizens of the world have an interest in who you lot vote to lead the US (much as it bemuses us at times! ) because it's a singularly powerful position and, as has been amply demonstrated by this particular one, affects far more than your own backyard. So the presidential elections, education and the teaching of creationism or intelligent design, censorship, medical and social care, trade, and terrorism and foreign policy and torture are all things I am interested in and have a view on as an inhabitant of the planet. Wonder what will happen as China and India take over the position of greatest superpowers in the world? We all have a lot to learn, for sure, and it poses particular challenges for the states I suspect. anjuli ~~~ “I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.” - Anais Nin ~~~
