Going to have to agree with this portion of Mid's post. Well said! Of course, be glad Xzion is a perpetual loser. You and I will never be competing with him for a job.Midnyte_Ragebringer wrote:Maybe a pot smoking, MTV Cribs watching, anti-military, anti-space exploration, anti-family values, etc will ascend to our countries highest office.

anti-family values
Have children dipshit. It's funny to you now because you obviously don't live your life for your children. Grow up or even at least try to think like one for a second.Drolgin Steingrinder wrote:anti-family values
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
he is also a bumbling fucking retard in contrast to our last president.Most of all, he appears to be a passionate, patriotic leader who is in stark contrast to our last president.
I question what you mean by associating family values/religious right with being xenophobic...Drolgin Steingrinder wrote:Woah there. Do me a favor and explain exactly what you think your current president has done for 'family values' that's so great.
The reason I laugh is that usually anyone campaigning from the 'family values' platform is so firmly entrenched in the religious right as to be utterly xenophobic.
Aye. I firmly believe in good family values, but am not a big religion guy. In fact, I dream for a day when the people of the world can live together without the need for religion. A pipe dream me thinks though.Pahreyia wrote:I question what you mean by associating family values/religious right with being xenophobic...Drolgin Steingrinder wrote:Woah there.

Maybe I'm missing the boat here, but what does one have to do with another?
As far as xenophobia goes, if the world didn't hate America so much already, we'd have little reason or justification for being xenophobic... The greatest defense for that ideology is a 2 square block hole in lower Manhattan.

For the record, Xzion, when criticizing others (I have a lot of experience with this) it's best to attempt to form a coherent thought. Just a tip. Have a great day!
First off I agree, I'd like to see more positive from politicians when they campaign.Drolgin Steingrinder wrote:I'm talking about 10 years ago, for instance. Remember Buchanan and Robertson at the Republican national convention? Remember good ole Dan Quayle bitching about Murphy Brown (of all things) for "glorifying" single motherhood to the youth of America.
The paranoia of the "family values" crowd - the same crowd, I might add, who so vehemently oppose the idea of same-sex marriages - seems based on a fear of change, a fear of anything that is different.
I've yet to see an american politician campaigning from that platform who spoke to peoples hopes rather than their fears of the unknown, of change.
Midnyte hit the mark on this one.Drolgin Steingrinder wrote:I'm talking about 10 years ago, for instance. Remember Buchanan and Robertson at the Republican national convention?

I don't know that I'd go as far as to say that the "family values" crowd is so much responsible for the opposition of same sex marriages as is the religious right. The fact that they're often complimenting traits of one another, I wouldn't limit family values people to just the right. Plenty of free-thinkers and leftists have campaigned under a family values platform as well.The paranoia of the "family values" crowd - the same crowd, I might add, who so vehemently oppose the idea of same-sex marriages - seems based on a fear of change, a fear of anything that is different.
God, wouldn't that be nice. Find me a 3rd party candidate that can speak intelligently and eloquently from this platform with half a clue how to balance a budget and a lick of common sense and they'll have my vote in a heartbeat.I've yet to see an american politician campaigning from that platform who spoke to peoples hopes rather than their fears of the unknown, of change.
Only the simple-minded equate having children with moral rightness and maturity. If you like children, good for you.

but honestly, who gives a fuck? You make enough assumptions of who i am based on a few paragraphs that take me a good 15-45 seconds to compose
Lol what a load of shitMidnyte_Ragebringer wrote:Secondly, I think there is enough evidence already that shows that single parent kids "can" get into more trouble, have more behaviorial problems, etc.
??? Only you could pull that from what I said. Having children will make one appreciate the need for family values.

Dude you can find studies to support any argument on the fuckin internet, that don’t mean shit. And if you would rather spend your time playing EQ then sitting here spouting off your crackhead ideals and telling people how they should live then please fuckin do it and kindly stfu.Midnyte_Ragebringer wrote:http://www.healthscout.com/news/68/8005301/main.htmlBrittney wrote:Lol what a load of shitMidnyte_Ragebringer wrote:Secondly, I think there is enough evidence already that shows that single parent kids "can" get into more trouble, have more behaviorial problems, etc.

I'm sure I could find plenty more, but I want to spend my time playing EQ not finding references of obviousness for the monumentaly dumb and ignorant.
blanket statements such as this really bother me. loving and protecting your kid is what you're supposed to do. it doesn't magically make you more enlightened than the rest of the world. when you post something like this, it sounds more like you're arguing against change than arguing to support your beliefs. plus you're insulting probably more than half the board by implying they don't love and value their families as much as you do, just because they might be the child, brother, sister, uncle, friend, etc. in their own personal scenarios, rather than the parent.Midnyte_Ragebringer wrote:Having children will make one appreciate the need for family values.

You can vote against him and still make fun of his stupid comments and behavior. There's nothing wrong with that.Pahreyia wrote:Wow I really am getting sick of those... Don't like him? Vote him out of office.
Can't really debate that. If you got more cash back, more power to you. I didn't. I also was super-chaffed about having a "tax relief for the American Worker" check that later was deducted from my return. Not to mention the push to cut overtime pay for a large percentage of the population.Midnyte wrote:He gave me a tax cut last few years. I get more money back in my refund each year.
Yes, and I will agree that Saddam is Bad™ and all, but I still feel lied to for his motivations. If he had been forthwith and simply said, "hey, we've dealt with this jackass long enough, and these people have suffered long enough under our sanctions, let's just end this right now," then he likely would have had more supporters.Midnyte wrote:He stood up for our freedom and waged war against people who did harm to us and even freed a few million Iraqis under an evil dictator.
Look deeper into these issues. Ask some doctors and pharmacists, or even health insurace agents about that medicaid prescription plan. Ask some teachers or eductaion administrators about the "no child left behind program."Midnyte wrote:He gave seniors their prescription drug benefits.(It's a start)
He is helping our school systems with the no child left behind bill.(Also just a start, more needs to be done)
I like your use of the word "appears." The one credit that I will give willingly to Bush is the fact that he has played his image and the media better than any president ever has in history. His team has a *very* keen understanding of framing and image. Every photo of Bush you will ever see is as carefully choreographed as a Superbowl breast-grab. From the lighting to the camera distance and angles, to the plastic turkey he's serving, to the color of shirts the people in the background are wearing, it's all staged - and it's staged brilliantly. His team has had people in the crown remove their ties and rumple their hair in order to look more like the average american, they have furnished people with jackets that would match the color scheme they were shooting for, they have set barges around the statue of liberty equipped with stadium lights so that they could get a stark image of Bush and the statue together at night. They have hung "mission accomplished" banners prematurely on aircraft carriers. Now, to be sure, I don't think all of this is bad - the man knows how to play image....just be aware that you are being played.Midnyte wrote:Most of all, he appears to be a passionate, patriotic leader who is in stark contrast to our last president.
I'm not quite sure how I feel about the insinuation both here and in another threat that patriotism is somehow linked to unflagging support of the military and rash military actions.Midnyte wrote:Maybe someday our world will degrade enough to the point we can have a leader who suits your desires.

most people do have family values; whether or not they coincide with yours is another issue.
I agree with this to a degree. Being a parent changes things. I'm not one, myself, but I see enough of it in friends. You have a kid, and the values that you impart to that kid become a very high priority. Still, legislating those values is a very dangerous game, in my opinion, which is why I loathe with ever fiber of my being the GOP values platform.Midnyte_Ragebringer wrote:No, you making a whole arguement by pulling a load of shit from a small simple statement bothers me.Sunserae wrote:blanket statements such as this really bother me. loving and protecting your kid is what you're supposed to do. it doesn't magically make you more enlightened than the rest of the world. when you post something like this, it sounds more like you're arguing against change than arguing to support your beliefs. plus you're insulting probably more than half the board by implying they don't love and value their families as much as you do, just because they might be the child, brother, sister, uncle, friend, etc. in their own personal scenarios, rather than the parent.Midnyte_Ragebringer wrote:Having children will make one appreciate the need for family values.

I never said some people don't have family values. But, when some jackhole laughs at the very notion of the importance of family values, then I shall repeat my prior statement.

Aye, sometimes it does seem insincere for sure. I don't want the government to legislate family values. I just really find it comforting and admirable when the people up top who have so much influence recognize it's importance.Arundel Pajo wrote:I agree with this to a degree.

My intentions in this thread were never to go spouting off my political beliefs or to go telling people how I think they should live their lives.
