You didn’t. Susanann did. And while I recognize that you two are very much alike, this is not in fact your Pitting.
I don’t communicate with strangers online for myself, but as an act of generosity towards them.
Ha! That’s exactly what I thought when Chiro showed up as the only person to defend her.
I find it absolutely hilarious to post on a message board about how all people that post on message boards are losers.
So, Chiroptera? Lemme give you a hearty “Fuck You”. And if doing so also conveys the message to Susann, that’s an efficient 2 birds scenario.
And when it’s over, they’ll take us all out back and shoot us.
Goddamn that creeper Saruman, always spying on me with his goddamn palantir! Get a life!
She was the very first person I put on “Ignore”. It’s still a pretty short list; I explained in one thread how I choose these people:
That was back in 2009; since then, the number has increased significantly, but it’s still a pretty short list. Susanann is still “the person whose posts I’m most glad I don’t see.”
My personal favorite was her assertion that it was illegal for women to wear pants before the 1970s.
I’ve since wondered how Mary Tyler Moore avoided being thrown into the slammer during her tenure as TV’s Laura Petrie. You know, like the Lenny Bruce of sitcoms.
Like I said, spending reduction is (or would be) a plan except that your crowd is always opposed to it.
More spending, greater debt, bigger government and ever-increasing taxes - it’s the Democrat way. And it can’t go on forever!
Tell me the truth, how many parents do you think would raise their children to handle their finances the way the federal government does? And what would you think of them if they did?
No, it’s not. But you decided to challenge and insult me simply for pointing out that in this one instance, Susanann did not say what the OP said she did, nor does she have the attitude on that issue that the OP sought to convince people she had. YOU are the reason we are going back and forth here.
She is just a typical right winger. Desperate to fin-d a way to justify outrageous selfish self serving beliefs. It is not easy.
hijack alert:
Ooh me too! I’m just now finally reading the Dean book and it’s keeping me up at night!
I was wondering about this so I searched and found this thread, in which she said:
Not just illegal but illegal!!!, mind.
In other words, she opposes you confiscating her legitimately obtained stuff on behalf of yourself and someone else.
Tell ya what, gonzo. How’s about I somehow find out where you live and then go find the nearest homeless guy and bring him to your house. And then lets allow him come in and look over your belongings and your income records and decide for himself what he should be entitled to take for himself because you have more than he does. I’d bet we’d find out you’re just as “selfish” as anyone else.
There is only the most scant difference between this scenario and what you want the government to do to those who have more than you think they should - which, so far as I can tell, is almost everybody.
Do you have any idea what a crappy argument that is? Of course not, sorry.
This is what happens in socialist countries all the time. Roaming bands of homeless people converge on our homes, with full support of the law, and pillage our stuff.
It sucks, but at least we don’t have any worries about raising the debt ceiling.
I’d be very surprised if he did such a thing, I’d be utterly astounded if you did.
Oh for god’s sake. :smack:
No, not continuing this conversation. I’ve bloodied my head against that wall quite enough.
The point is that we who oppose higher taxes and forced income redistribution are no more selfish than gonzo would be in the scenario where he would very likely object to a random stranger helping himself to some of gonzo’s stuff or money for no other reason than than he needs it more than gonzo does. Apart from the fact that the government has declared it legal to do so, there is little difference between the scenario I proposed to gonzomax and what the government is constantly attempting to do to the rest of us.
Still, my main complaint right now though is gonzomax’s never-ending assertion that anyone who doesn’t willingly roll over and allow the government to take whatever it wants from them and spend it on someone else, is by definition “selfish”. It’s much more selfish in my opinion to insist that people give up their hard-earned money (and the “stuff” it can provide for them and their faimilies) so it can be spent in the way YOU happen to favor. If people like gonzo want to play rescuer to the country’s downtrodden with his own money, that’s fine. But he has no right to insist that everyone else play along and then call them selfish if they see things differently.
We are to the point now where less than half of American wage-earners are paying any income tax at all. People in this country who live in perfectly comfortable houses and drive perfectly servicable cars are nevertheless getting food stamps and other forms of government assistance. The income level where people are entitled to help from everyone else is constantly increasing, as are the cries that we do even more.
It is impossible to feed the beast that is people like gonzomax; it always wants more. People look around and they see that half of the people they see aren’t paying any income tax; they see people getting five year’s worth of unemployment checks; they see people living in nice homes getting food stamps, etc., etc., and they think that we’ve done enough already.
And they are not “selfish” for thinking that.
I believe that was also the same thread where she insisted that if the Jews had kept guns in their homes the Holocaust would never have happened.
Anyway her and Recovering Republican are the captains of derailing on this board. You know that once you see them post, you can pretty give up any hopes of having a rational discussion.
This was the part that did my head in.
She says this about a pill popping, drunken gossip columnist.
You know what, I almost didn’t include the quote about the deficit but I’m glad I did, because it drew out the conservatrolls like you. Guess what: THIS ISN’T THE FUCKING STARVING ARTIST SHOW.
:checks watch:
NO, STILL NOT ABOUT YOU.
You are so utterly fucking predictable, and at the same time the singlehandedly most annoying poster on this board. We are doing the equivalent of pointing and laughing at the crazy person on the streetcorner with signs telling us “The World Is Ending” and you have to jump in, yet again, to say, “Well Senorita CrazyBalls over there has a good point”. No, she doesn’t. And neither do you. You fucking insane old coot.
