You've turned it into an art form my friend.
And you've turned personal attacks into one. You keep following me around like a puppy. You need a new hobby.
Quote:And we all know what you meant...so just stop. And I really don't think you want to compare crime in America to The Netherlands, right? Not to mention, you avoided my question. What did you mean by "these people?"
I think it pretty obvious since the specific comment I was responding to was....
The perpetrator of the violent act in this video...... That's pretty obviously whom I'm speaking of. 'Perpetrators of violent acts.' I'm not responsible for the assumptions you assign to me.
Yes, nobody else talks about preventing crime... only about catching criminals afterwards.
Ridiculous... and THAT is where the 2nd amendment reference comes in. You don't want to take that approach there, but you seem to think that 'perpetrators of violent acts', we should just wait on... I guess unless they have a gun.
I really shouldn't have to explain this much to you.
Quote:But you're right...he just made a tweet. Just a private citizen making a tweet...one whose words, deeds and actions don't have any impact on our country's image and policy, etc. Dude, he's the ******* president. That used to mean something. But Obama single-handedly ruined that, AMIRITE?
And damned ******* right he needs to know what the **** he's re-tweeting!
Examples of the lunacy in your head that you assign to me.
I didn't say he was a private citizen... and I said I'd prefer that he didn't for the very reasons you mention.... but I'm obviously not so caught up in 'image' as you seem to be. There is a large segment of the population tired of 'political correctness'. They're a good distance from me, but I'm obviously a good distance from you on the issue.
Not every word he says has an impact on our country, in fact MOST of it doesn't. Stop with the dramatics, especially when you then assign that to me.
No you're NOT right in my eyes anyway. I'd say that Bush started it, and the way the left attacked him. Opinions will vary on who started that. Obama continued it, and the way the right attacked him.... ibid. Some of it happened under Clinton and 41, but it has gone viral since then. We were all told about the damage to our international reputation because of Bush being a moron, and that Obama was the 'fix'... Neither of those things in my mind were true. Sure, there are degrees of pros and cons, but I think the biggest example is all the people who said they'd leave if 'x' happened are still here... from both sides of the aisle. More drama queens
and i don't think I could disagree more that he needs to investigate every item he decides to tweet about, but that starts with the idea that I don't live and die by every word he (or Obama or Bush or Clinton etc) said. Who gives a damn what he tweets?
If he got his story from someone, I might consider putting less stock in that person or his references... but that's about it

And back to the personal attacks on que
