They really do.
Mine.
That's nice.
I believe you believe that. I've told you what I believe. Nothing fruitful will come of repeating that sort of thing, which is one reason I left you to the censorship thread.
I think you're talking to yourself there.
And yet, given it, you come here to have it again (and again, apparently) since you continue to beat the same drum.
No, you want agreement or capitulation. That's why you're here now.
I believe I gave you more than ample consideration. What I didn't give you was agreement or capitulation.
I'm not pretending. I don't know, can't know precisely what you mean by anything given your tendency to insist on the right to alter a convention. It's one reason I left it to you.
Do you find yourself bored? I mean in a torn sort of way.
Either you or most of Islam doesn't understand something about Islam, because that's just not how it has worked under actual Islamic control outside of a sliver of rabid and largely rejected extremists. I'm going to bet against you on that.
That almost sounds reasonable, but then it really sounds like stepping over a point because it's not aligned with the picture you mean to paint. Again, Muslims are largely opposing the fanatics you seem determined to paint as the rule. But the opposition by Islam to them speaks against your efforts.
A point utterly undone by the absence of those efforts within any of the nations opposing ISIS.
That would be an inaccurate stretch, but more than a great stone's throw from taking this:
"Islam once controlled a great deal of southern Europe and the Christians and Jews living there were not killed or converted."
And claiming I equated it with a "paradise".
So was Spain.
I got Bulgaria from a list of Western nations. Its a member of the EU, as is Cyprus. Link
You should have been an internet mime.
If that's how you characterize your posting who am I to dispute it?
Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade reciprocated [Trump's] praise the next morning, saying Trump “looked bigger than the superpower which he’s representing.”
The more I think about that the more I'm convinced that between Brian and me I'm the only one who did.
lain: R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to him.
Nope.Editorial Bonus Section:
So Stripe rolled through here the other day lamenting the absence of serious conversation and respect punctuated my efforts in the Censorship thread. I thought, maybe what I need to look at is what Stripe counts as respect. Maybe I've overlooked something in his approach and need to regroup.
This post and thread of his began a Tweet about the difficult job of an attorney defending the rights of someone charged with a serious crime when just about everyone inclined would rather get a rope. His title and quote follow:
This lawyer's headed for hell
But I thought, well, meet a hostile, assumptive declaration with a meat. Invite repartee, but in relation to a deeper look than was afforded by the two lines he proffered.
This was the "respectful" and meaningful conversation Stripe met that effort with.
That's right. He compared defending your rights to gassing Jews.
Or to let my friend rebut himself:
Nope. You're wrong and hypocritical on the point. Do better.
You mean I finally got you to admit you don't know what you're talking about?
Then you're officially in the GM sweepstakes.
Then you apparently are already in a snit.
So...you want to be able to make five unanswered posts to someone you've gotten your nickers (no, Trad) in a twist over--- on the strength of a "called it" approach to a new final word(s) posting etiquette?
...we can't all be as humble as you, glory. Not if anyone else wants a turn.
That's not how you spell interest.
If you'd written "boing!" that would have been funny...and surprising. So you could have had two firsts for you in one go.
No, you got you locked out for trolling. I've seen toddlers that are scarier...and more interesting to talk to.TH was so threatened by my comments that he had me locked out of his Cervantes thread. Oh the irony.
He must have, because he eventually acknowledged the legitimacy of the claim of birth. Unless you're asserting he randomly shifts to emphatic positions.
Trump said at his newly opened luxury hotel in Washington on Friday morning. "President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Period." Washington Post, September 16, 2016
So you're saying he's an inveterate liar? One you only finished suggesting God put into office.
Okay, he can too spell debate. I owe AB five bucks on that one.
True, though I'd be flabbergasted if some of them were minded at all.
Nothing like hindsight...and given where the better part of your posts appear to originate it's not unexpected.
No, you see yourself projected onto an amused surface.
They should put you in the next DSM.
Mr. Irrelevant? Chad Kelly, the troubled qb from Ole Miss. The upside, he's already had plenty of practice at being that and a degree that's likely mostly that.
You're like a guy who keeps asking me for the time then suggests I have a watch fetish.
I started to watch the OP video and then stopped because the guy dropped an F bomb and my kid was in the room. Given at that point I could understand his being on a restricted list it lost the romance of an argument of parts for me...then I happened (in an unrelated moment) across a video by another guy the first guy mentioned as being unfairly restricted and two minutes in he dropped an F bomb.
Seemed like a pattern developing. But it could just be an ungodly coincidence. Those happen.
That's the thing about words, they can't really drag you anywhere you don't want to go. So unless someone had a compulsive disorder they would be home free at any point.
I'm not saying that I have serious doubts about whoever created the program at Netflix that matches patterns and likes to suggest new material I might find enjoyable, but when I read my "interest" in the light comedy Dutch was the basis for their recommendation for Oklahoma City, a documentary about the 1995 bombing and Timothy McVeigh, let's just say it began to make me wonder...a little.
That's not how you spell bitter. :nono: But it is how you illustrate it.
So, do you think he was afraid of the press corps, or did he just lack the fortitude to take the shots and/or the humor to trade in close?
Insider trading...you'd think it would be right up his alley.
I think it's the Count Chocula association. Harder to put down than Old Yeller.
You talking tee times?
How many posts have you made to me so far, fifty?
Must have missed that one.
Wait this?
So essentially anything you don't agree with is a falsehood in your Stripe's New Non-Americana Frequently Abridged Standard dictionary?
I answered that swearing was an issue for me and why. Nothing false in it.
Hm? Ah, principal.
I can only hope.
Just trying to make sense of your use of accomplishments.
The first 100
Laws: Trump: 29 sparkling government laws signed. Obama: 14
Winner: the pulp industry?
Executive orders? The Republicans and Trump hated those as much as they did the former president's golf outings. Remember? Well...what a difference 100 days make.
Trump: 32, or, as many in 100 days as Obama averaged in a year. Obama: 19
Winner: irony.
Cabinet Confirmations: remember the obstructionist song and dance? Trump: 21/22 Obama: 20/20
Winner: musicals?
Speaking of games...a real source of conservative and Trump ire pre election was
Golf Outings: Trump: 19 Obama: 1
Winner: still waiting on Trump to publish his card.
That's right fool. I just go around making fun of people who wear hats.
And I bet he rides a horse in parades too. But his closest association with actual cowboys would be the bull he's riding to political advantage.
Oh, well why didn't you just say you were high? Because that's the only way to draw that out of what I actually wrote.
He's still in the field? Going in on calls like an average Joe? Probably not, but that would be something to respect.
You're sticking by guns that aren't really loaded. A bad idea. Like wearing a fancy cowboy hat in Michigan, with a bow tie.
I've been called worse. Mostly by people who share a remarkable inability to accept or offer reasoned argument, confuse name calling with repartee, and emotional declaration with truth, and who've been called on the point by me. That's a dime a dozen, into. You should aim higher.
