Reeder you're a dipshit

obligatory link

Reeder you sir are a dipshit. You give exactly zero respect to any one with a differing opinion. Your over use of the damn rolleyes smile is inapporpiate for GD and clearly shows that your a giant putz. Oh look we even have a little smile for that :wally. I could also mention your poor excuses for GD posts and OPs but that has done by many people (including me once if I remember). In conclusion I cordially invite you to go fuck yourself.

Actually, he was right, & you were wrong.

Reeder & I occasionally disagree, but in fairness I must defend him.

BTW-- his use of rolleyes is an "insult"?

All in all, you are... :wally

This is one of the most petty pit threads I've seen in a long while.

Jesus, treis, you asked for a cite and Reeder gave you one. What the fuck is your fucking problem? Are you going to start pitting everybody who proves you wrong in a GD thread?

Oh...and as to the rolleyes...





And why don't I just go ahead and add a :wally

First of all did not provide a cite for what he claimed.

Second of all yes using the rolleyes smile is an insult. It conveys that I found your post so stupid and absurd that it caused me to roll my eyes.

Exactly. Anyone who see's Bushco's "apology" as a true apology..deserves many

But I'm stingy with mine.

You will be deserving more I'm sure.

...and I almost NEVER use smileys, so take that as an indication of the depth of your stupidity.

Haven't read the link, so no answer to the OP at all, but that just needed to be said.

Uhm the OP mentioned nothing about asking for and recieving a cite. It was about his use of the rolleyes smile at the end of his post responding to mine.

Well then I stand corrected, sort of. You linked to this pit thread in a post responding to Reeder's cite so I figured that had something to do with it. I didn't think anyone would be thin-skinned enough to pit someone over nothing but a rolleyes smilie. I guess I was wrong.

Cheddarsnax yes I do remember that thread and I used the rolleyes to express my opinion that his post was indeed stupid. I had referred to a cite given by Simonx in my four previous posts. Elucidator then asked me for a cite with a little comment with it and my rolleyes was intended to show that I thought his/her's post was indeed stupid. Inappropiate for GD? probably but it was just a response to elucidator.

In this case I don't think I had said anything that could be considered stupid. My only claim was that the U.S. didn't want any more violence and Reeder gave me the rolleye's and I thought it was inappropiate.

Pardon me..

You also didn't believe Bushco apologized to the King of Jordon.

Let's not leave anything out now.

Technically, anyone who "sees" Bushco's "apology" is hallucinating.
The nightly news had tape showing Bush making the claim that he had apologized to the king of Jordan. However, if that apology occured, it was during an untaped private meeting. As the WMD evidence debacle taught us, it is unwise to believe anything Bush tells us without also seeing some concrete physical evidence that things really are as the president describes.

I misread your post and I didn't believe that Bush apologized to the King of Jordan for the torture of Jordanians.

He didn't. He apologized to the king of Jordan for torturing Iraqi's.

Explain that from our great misleader.

Ah, treis, now you've done it! You've disturbed the Brotherhood of Bush BashersTM and disrupted their normal feeding patterns.

Thing you don't understand, tres, is that their intellectual superiority gives them the RIGHT to proclaim that those who don't agree with them are stupid. No mere proclamation this: They are superior. If you don't think so, just ask any one of them.

So brother John

Apologizing to the King of Jordan for torturing Iraqi's suits you just fine?

Bullshit. He started a pit thread because [b]Reeder[/i] rolled his eyes at him. The OP is the one who is "disrupted" and whiny. It's his thread. No one pitted him, did they? So how are the Bush bashers "disrupted?" The OP's complaint isn't even political.

Now this I agree with.

I didn't watch or read the apology, don't intend to, and thus have no idea of the context. In the unlikely event that this "issue" turns out to be something other than another nit-pick on the part of the BoBB I'll pick up on it at that time.

Meanwhile, I'm in the process of deciding which candidate to vote for in November. I'm not very impressed with the partisans of either side when the best they can do is expound on mis-spoken words or blow trivial actions up all out of proportion.

I'll paraphrase Ronnie's Question: Four years from now, will I be better off after a Bush term or a Kerry term?
Right now, I'm better off than I was before Bush went into office. OTOH, I'm not all that thrilled with some of the things he's done.

How will I be better off after four years of Kerry? Better pay and benefits? Lower taxes? Less federal deficit? Only mild inflation? Those things are more important to me than opinions of what should/shouldn't have been said to the King of Jordan.

Doggy Knees: Lighten up, Dude. Don't you want to live long enough to vote?

"So how are the Bush bashers "disrupted?"
Answer: You are here, bashing treis instead of somewhere else bashing Bush. Thus you've been disrupted from your normal feeding patterns.
