I have always thought debate was good, but I must have been offensive, I do not doubt it. I just enjoy good debate... please respond I mean no harm. Sorry to anyone I have offended with other posts.. I was just looking for some give and take... I will not start another topic about politics.

    well, your political views are really out there, I'm sure you know that, so why be surprised by the responses? It didn't strike me that you were looking for debate, you were inflaming and being over the top.

    Plus you keep posting your discussions in the wrong spot.

    I guess I do not know where to post, I though it was general discussion. My views are not extreme they are just passionate. like I said I am not out to cause the amount of trouble I have apparently caused... I just once again would like to state I am not a racist!! I do not want Senator Obama elected president just like I did not want John Kerry or Al Gore.
    1. DrowseyMonkey
      Well, I don't think that people on the Right are all racists, and I don't think that people who don't like Obama dislike him just because he's black, I'm sure they dislike him because of his politics.

      As for where to put the discussion, it should have been placed in Shameless blog promotion, or whatever it's called.
  3. atlasbear
    oh ok I did not know about the shameless blog promotion, because the last topic I started did not have a link to my blog it was a youtube video.

      That's kinda offensive, wonder if Atlas's comment was as offensive, his got removed....but I guess I'll never know , just wondering
    2. RegularGuy
      ya kat...i think it's bullshit politics that some comments get removed that are far less inflammatory than others that stay and i'm speaking from experience
    3. DrowseyMonkey
      i think his remark that got removed was a duplicate or triplicate of one of his comments.
    4. kat822
      That may be true, but why is the "You are kind of a dick" still here ? Just wondering
    5. DrowseyMonkey
      I dunno, maybe no one reported it, I thought it was pretty funny myself, not to mention pretty accurate. If you think it's offensive report it, otherwise the admins will never know it's here.
    6. RegularGuy
      well... that makes sense however... i had a comment removed that was far less offensive than calling someone a dick... i just wonder why that is
    7. DrowseyMonkey
      well, like I said, probably because no one has reported it yet. And whatever you said probably had a few people report it.

      Don't get me wrong girl I about pissed my pants when I read it, and then kicked myself in the behind for not thinking of using that line myself on other threads, just wondering about it,......oh how is that creepy doll of yours?????? lol
    9. offendedblogger
      I'm sure it took much restraint for Kevin to say those six little words.
    10. DrowseyMonkey
      yes kat, keep this up and the doll will visit you , mwahahaha... That's way worse then getting reported. Maybe that's how we can handle these situations, lol
    11. kat822
      Well he's welcome to rip one at the bad ass , we leave our restraint at the dooor
    12. kat822

    14. globalgirl

    15. kat822

    I'll talk politics, but I prefer intelligent conversations.

    Atlas:

    In response to "You folks don't like talking about politics", I'd like to calarify a few things.

    Yesterday you posted a discussionen titled "should the US invade Pakistan".
    I guess you have asked the new question based on the complaints people made. If you consider asking the question about invading another country as talking about politics, some people would be very disturbed.

    I for one have been to Pakistan many years ago as a tourist, I hated the place, nothing personal about the people or culture but I found the country very unforfotable to be in as a foreigner. I got locked in a room was told I would never get out, I was told that all the money I had would be taken and basically left to rot. Also my hotel room was spat at but dozens of people first thing in the morning and there was so much spit/ phlegm and mucous on the ground that I almost vomited passing through it.

    Regardless of feeling uncomfortable about the lack of hospitality of the people there that I encountered, I still recognise the need to solve any situations in a manner that does not destroy a countries infastructure and cause incredible pain, trauma and hardship on other human beings. Invasion means death to many people, innocent lives are lost as well as the enemy (whover the aggressor decides them to be).

    Your post yesterday was either careless or vile. But that is my opinion and yes in a democratic society we are all welcome to our opinions, but the heading of your post was so careless because many of the people that use the Internet and visit Blogcatalog are from the global community and a place like Blogcatalog is somewhere where people like myself make friends with others from across the world, regardless of religious, Political or cultural differences.

    Many people that saw a heading like the one you posted do not have English as a first language and it could easily paint a poor picture of American people that do not have the same view as you.

    Many of us hope for a peaceful future inhabited by a global community of friends.

      I do not think we should invade Pakistan Barack Obama thinks we should. He said we should hunt for terrorist in their country without their presidents permission. I think that sounds like a ridiculous idea.
    2. acousticguitarist
      You may have been just saying what someone else said. But the title was inflammatory. I'd assume you are a normal human being without too much malice.

      That's the problem with written word, it's so easy to be misinterpretted.

      Wishing you well

    I am just telling you folks what the man himself said.
    1. cooper
      What he said was
      " we should go after high-value Al Qaeda targets in Pakistan if the country's president was not willing to act." which is really what we should have been done originally, done instead of going into Iraq.

      After the uproar they all made of it - this was last year right?

      He said
      "I find it amusing,that those who helped to authorize and engineer the biggest foreign policy disaster in our generation are now criticizing me for making sure that we are on the right battlefield and not the wrong battlefield in the war against terrorism."

      And he was right. He was talking specifically about going after Al Queda - the folks who rEally did take down the towers, and destroyed the Pentagon, on 9-11.
    2. richrf
      You're right. He never said anything about invading. I'm pretty sure he said he would bomb inside Pakistan if he knew Al Queda was there and Pakistan refused to act. Let's face it though, that would be a pretty provocative act, with a country that has nuclear weapons, so I think that maybe it might not happen.

    hummm let me think, I could choose an intellectually simulating thread that requires higher order thinking or I could get in on the discussion about when I think Time Machines will be a reality? Which will I pick? hummm , I agree that the intellectual discussions are pretty thin around here, and I hate when they are dumped on, or killed....I want to hear people's opinons and heaven forbid anyone think outside the box.
  9. atlasbear
    I think that is an invasion. What would we do if a country just came in here and started bombing without our permission?
  10. atlasbear
    the way I understand his comments he means that is what he will do.. he will leave Iraq and go after terror targets wherever they are including pakistan even without their leader's permission. Mushariff who has helped us on occasion and has a nuke ready because of india
  11. atlasbear
    but the thread is what i was apologizing about though, because honestly I could have handled it better and made it an honest discussion.
