Stimulus 2

[infinite monkey]

How much time until Ali decides she, once again, hates the political discourse in this place...and denounces it heartily?

Poll?

If I could say so, I think merc takes his posts a lot less seriously on here than most others seem to.

Yeah, he's taking the piss out of most of us most of the time in the politics forum.

I just don't think it's worth getting all upset all the time over it.

Also, I think he should stop saying nasty things every once in a while when someone hits a nerve for him. Usually I think he's been asking for it.

I just don't see him as one dimensional. No one is.

I was talking to my son about this very thing just the other day. Human nature has an inbuilt defense mechanism. It encourages us to remember the stupid or hurtful things people say more than the nice things because sometimes the stupid and hurtful things really hurt. Yeah yeah, words on the screen. I know Merc, but it's true. You've been here long enough to know lots of the people here and know about their daily struggles.

To all of us. We should try and remember the humanity of our fellow posters before we label them as one thing or another.

Who really cares if I do or not Shawnee? Seriously.. Who really cares?

eta: I don't recall being the flouncer around this place. In fact, I don't remember specifically denouncing the politics forum ever. I do recall being pissed off by personal attacks from people with nothing better to do than stir the pot.

Bottom line is he has no plan to pay for it... this is no more than "shovel ready jobs 2" and a big ass waste of money as he panders to Unions and envokes the names of "teachers", "policemen", and "fireman". The mantra is old and worn out. I said numerous times when the Stimulus first came out, "What happens when the money runs out?". Well here you fuck have it........ BOHICA!

I just felt it important to contrast your 'how dare you not love your fellow man' spiel with your 'oh, i don't know how much more of the bickering I can stand' while (whilst?) all the time you stir and point fingers and accuse.

You don't pick important battles, you just pick insidious ones. Shame.

Dammit woman! stop giving away my secrets!

I am a rugby player.... so go figure.

I just don't think it's worth getting all upset all the time over it.

I have never lost sleep over this place....

Usually I think he's been asking for it.

I can take it. No worries.....

I just don't see him as one dimensional. No one is.

One of the few honest assessments I have ever heard...

Few know a GD thing about me... You are the exception.

Damm I love hitting the bear with a stick.

[Aliantha]

Oh ffs, just fucking fuck off you stupid cow. Go find someone else's back to jump on.

And you pretend innocence as to why I don't post in these forums at all hardly anymore. Have a look at your own fucking self and you'll know why.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones bitch.

eta: This post is in response to shawnee's latest drivel.

[infinite monkey]

I never hid that I'm shawnee, so if you see yourself as some sort of TMZ you're not.

I think glatt's response was good. Simple. From a guy who doesn't say anything remotely mean even if he wanted to. So you jump on THAT, and once again expound the virtues of themerc?

Puh-leez.

Bottom line: Obama is shit for a president.... Although I could support his re-election if both the Senate and the House went to the Republickins. We don't need a single party in charge of this country again.....

[TheMercenary]

So government failed on 9/11, and yet the politicians' answer to failure is always the same: Give us more money and power. And we do. When will we learn?

Wow. You come in here with nothing to add to the subject but to single Ali out and shit
on her - AGAIN. Uncalled for. Unnecessary. Pointless. Mean spirited. Hypocritical.
Bitch wasn't strong enough a word.

[infinite monkey]

OH hai! What a surprise?

How've you been?


My response was to single out Ali, yes, for her insistence on calling out glatt on a very innocuous comment...probably related to the part (some thread? this one? Another one? Who cares) where merc couldn't own up to calling glatt a tool.

glatt a tool. Are you fucking kidding me?

But Ali, and you, class, can call me out on it. There is strength in mindless unison.

I just could not let that one slide by.

I only needed the right timing.

[Pico and ME]

Right.

[TheMercenary]

Tool time. Anyone can be one. I can own up to it. At the time it was not what I was responding too but hey, carry on... Is it really all that important? Are any of us that important? No....
