Debate #2 on Friday. Bushisms.

Still, I think most people who read that might be inclined to weeping.

I love the optimism of your post, though. :smiley:

He said they’re talking about it on the internets. Find a place on another internet where kids are worrying about the draft and you’ll have a point. :wink:

But that would involve teeth! A LOT! Molars, even!

Too bad he doesn’t have that attitude with Osama, who has been quite effective at both.

Man you have no idea.

Your bizarrely convoluted defenses, which stray FAR from the likeliest story–that it was a slip of the tonge–is why people are assuming you must be a Republican. Only someone who was blindly loyal, to a mentally unhealthy degree, would try to float such a ludicrous defense for a simple flub. Either that, or someone who’d argue with an orangutan if he was bored.

(And btw, it’s considered politically incorrect around here to insult someone in such a way that implies homosexuality is in and of itself bad. To tell a gay man to “eat a dick” in an insulting tone, is pretty close to telling a black man, “Oh, go eat some watermelon.” Just FYI.)

I’m at a loss to say which is more indicative of your imbecility… your stubborn defense of ‘internets’ as standard English (within the context of how Bush used the word) or your resorting to fifth grade retorts.

Either way, you’re just intellectually inert.

I simply stated that using the term ‘internets’ is not completely wrong, slip of the toungue or not. It was all of you who stated that there is no such thing. If someone can come along and state that there is no such thing as isolated internets, I’ll stand by my argument.

Yes, you are correct. Telling a gay man to “eat a dick” is offensive and I would probably never do such a thing. However, I do not know your sex, or orientation, so take it like a “fuck you”, if you prefer. And why does it automatically have to imply homosexuality?

This is the pit, fifth grade retorts are fairly common. In the pit, you can either play intellectually, or with fifth grade retorts, or both. If you’re looking for Intellectual arguments only, the GD forum would be a great place to start!

Game, set, and match. That one line sums it all up perfectly.

I can remember a few years back, in some congressional hearing or another, the esteemed octo-nono-whatervero-genarian, Jesse Helms was perturbed with someone testifying, and kept urging him to be more clear toward the microphone by saying, “You gotta talk into the machine!”

Now a microphone technically is a sort of machine, but it didn’t really make Helms sound anything more than the completely out-of-touch, dementia ridden fool that he was.
Kinda like … “the innernets.”

Technical, schmechnical. That ain’t what it’s called, and using that term the way Bush did made him sound out-of-touch in the least, and moronic at worst. Deal with it.

Maybe he’s just seen The Road Warrior?

You are very stupid, aren’t you? It must hurt your brain. BUt I must share a clue with you: not everyone here is as stupid as you are, poor thing. So when you present such transparently empty denials of what you yourself have said, it only strengthens our conviction that you are very, very stupid.

OK, it’s the end of the work day, so I fold. :slight_smile:
