i dont know, ask him. i havent talked to him or even tried too in a long time.

this is exactly what im talking about....:bang:
it is you who typed the words messiah and god in a former post. i learn nothing from your contributions. half of your posts are remora-like thanks to mtlinscomb for gratuitous obama bashing lifted from non-journalistic sources.
 
You are talking out your back side. You stand opposite of me on practically every topic imaginable and we've debated many subjects. In your mind I'm just another redneck who clings to his guns and religion and that makes your skin crawl. There is a difference in not stating my opinion and stating opinions you disagree with.

No this isn't anything personal. You start numerous posts consisting of a long diatribe that you've obtained from some other source. Often you state no thoughts of your own on the matter. The reader often has no idea what you're getting at. An article that portrays our president negatively from your perspective might possibly extol his virtues from my perspective. Again, without some perspective, your posts are pointless.

Are you sure you don't have me confused with Bob?
 
Personally, I have learned so much about people, issues, perspectives, and myself - from the Politics forum - it is mostly worth having to overlook or try to ignore the crap some people love to post. but when it gets to be too much, its time to take a break and stay away - I would imagine most of us would benefit from a break now and then.

but I do know one thing: I appreciate every single person who has shared their knowledge and beliefs and resources, in a respectful way that contributes to a healthy discussion/debate. there are those who just cannot discuss anything rationally, and there are those who cannot appreciate or tolerate thinking other than their own. I will not let those few keep me from learning from the other wonderfully thought provoking great people who teach me much. and I mean that from my heart - I am constantly amazed and humbled by dozens of you who share so much - it takes courage in addition to kindness - while participating in a debate.

yes, things can get hairy in the forum - no doubt about that. and most of us are guilty of inappropriate comments now and then. but most of us learn from those debates how to better engage with sowallers in the future. some never learn this. such a shame - because I am pretty sure these posters do have something worthy to contribute - but we will never know because they can't engage in a productive way.

Not picking a fight LS just saying....


These posts are exactly what you’re (mtlinscomb ) being accused of. I just don’t get it. The same group jumps on anyone they feel don’t fit in the little group. But yet they claim they are doing different but are doing the something they accuse others of. Reminds me of the grade school gang wanna be kids high fiving each other after all 10 of them jump the poor kid and take his lunch money. Here Bob what have you added to the Cut and Paste on your threads?

is there a common theme in these threads that provokes you? can you think for yourself and respond to a news or op-ed piece? carless generation had 55 thought provoking comments to the article. did you read one?

My question to you is simple. What were your thoughts on these and many other Copy and Paste articles? I fail to find them. And honestly no I have read very few of your threads, Most of them I have already encountered and since it has been my experience with your postings they have very little new content. I find that when I read someone?s comments of their own thinking I learn from them even if I do not agree with them. However to reread an article that is a simple cut and paste in most case with NO comment from the poster I pass and move on. Just saying....
