Korg.... you do realize that 'Person of the Year' isn't necessarily a good thing, right?

It's a statement of how much influence someone has. As has been said, several brutal and evil people have held the title.... and it wasn't an endorsement of them.

let me rephrase the question: Why'd you feel the need to bring this up and then make comments about possible reactions?

Throwing this back at you for your own senseless comments.

"Hey, Saddam. We're looking for a scapegoat. We're too incompetent/corrupt to capture the real perpetrator of 9/11, so we need you to take the blame. You've got all of the qualifications we need. You're kind of a jerk and you've used your country's oil to carve yourself a great little niche. If there's anything the Americans hate more than a rich crook, it's an Ay-rab. So why don't you take one for the team? You get to play the role of the villain, and we can feel all victimized about your (ahem, alleged) involvement in 9/11. You weren't meant to play the role!"

"We hate lesbians. What about Lynn Cheney, you ask? How dare you attack me like that! In a discussion about the issue of condemning homsexuality, you've got absolutely no right to attack me by pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of my daughter's existence! I feel like such a victim!"

Wah? Never the victim, Korg?

Uh.. Ardith.. you're losing points there.. I have never heard any Republican say anything remotely like that ---- as opposed to Dems repeatedly putting such words into Republican mouths. I am beginning to think maybe a mecha foot placed in a particular location might assist you... Then again, maybe not.

What is "good" and what is "bad"? And what the hell does that have to do with anythin ghere? I made a point that the Dems/liberals are going to play politics with this in a way that is hysterical and hystrionic based on past experience. Did I really need to explicate that?

You don't recall the huge brouhaha about Lynne Cheney and her daughter? About the huge stink which Republicans made about the so-called ambush? This is why it never pays to argue with Republicans. No matter how true something may be, they'll deny it. Even when presented with evidence. It's so frightfully Orwellian. I might as well have some Victory gin with my mecha foot.

06.20.2004 on CNBC
GLORIA BORGER: "Well, let's get to Mohamed Atta for a minute because you mentioned him, as well. You have said in the past that it was, quote, 'pretty well confirmed.'"
DICK CHENEY: “No, I never said that.”

12.09.2001
DICK CHENEY: “It's been pretty well confirmed that [Atta] did go to Prague and he did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service in Czechoslovakia last April, several months before the attack.”

You prob would be better off pulling it out of the dark place behind you...

That has nothing to do with this thread... You think a single quote taken out of context - though seemingly damning - makes a bit of difference? You think it detracts from the legitimacy of my original post?

Your reference to "frightfully Orwellian" proves my point.... IT was simply a matter of time.. then again.. you proved it earlier... Mecha-->artifical intelligence? Yeah.. artificial alright! :rolleyes:

On second thought.. name that mecha foot whatever you want... just give me the remote control for it.... before you squash yourself in faulty logic.

You aren't answering the question.

You could have easily just posted the facts, nothing more, and let the flames develop by themselves, but instead you wander on, post the facts, then start egging the flames on. There's a word for that sort of posting. What is it?

Your post is as legitimate as your president. I say yours, because he ceased to be OUR president the moment he decided to attack half of the people whom he is supposed to defend. No matter how much you hate Clinton, I'd love for you to cite one instance of the man actively persecuting any citizen of this nation. I won't wait for your response on this one, since there aren't any. Compare this with Bush's record. Parties persecuted: non-Christians, homosexuals, Arab immigrants, Democrats, the middle class and working poor, etc.

And thus we have an example of what happens when a mecha undergoes an electrical short... memory chips fail unpredictably, address circuits route things incorrectly... and the ALU no longer computes 1 + 1 correctly... Ardith....you standing in a puddle or water or is there a leak in the metal covering and you are out standing uncoverd and exposed in a rainstorm??

I seem to remember a few Clintonian pecadillos along the lines you suggest... but only if I wear your brand of perspective twisting would I claim any such viewing of historically documented events as "objective" or rational.. so I won't post them all here. I will remind you of just one..... If YOU have the time or incllination, YOU go look up some things like an early unexplained death in the Clinton White House - a certain person who might have shed light on Whitewater...

Oh.. last reminder.. if you are an American citizen, then he is YOUR president no matter how you rail against it. And he will continue to be for the duration of his next Adminstration. That's a very very simple fact. Deal with it... preferably quietly.

So back to the original post ... aren't you essentially doing the same thing now in your attacks of me that I predicted would occur on a larger scale? Ignore the facts and wail that life is unfair and people are mean.... yep yep yep.. .seems to be that way to me... and I am all that matters to me... we know that... right? :D

Is this still going on. There is so much spin here it's enough to make me vomit.

It's not Dems always criticizing Republicans. It just so happens that we have a Republican President and Congress running the world. Sorry if people aren't happy with everything all the time.

Korg just takes any criticism of his party as an "attack" with no merit. Recently he was defending his boy Rummy from the awful liberals. They were being mean to him and holding him to the truth.

However, as we see now, even Republicans are holding Rummy to the same standard.

If you can't handle discourse about your party, perhaps you should stop whining like a baby and dig yourself a hole.

Honestly, I can't believe you actually post this crap.

There you go again Kneehigh-to-a-wart.... You have no clue my actual party affiliation. Most people assume it's Republican but I have never said that I was a registerd Republican.. did I?

<<If you can't handle discourse about your party, perhaps you should stop whining like a baby and dig yourself a hole.>>

/me points Kneehigh to the hole... and promises to throw dirt in on top once the hole is dug deep enough.. cmon.. you can DO eeet!!!

Yes boy - talking to you... .small b"... non-existent "o".. sometimes "y"... BOY.. that IS you I am talking to - I do realize you are slow so I am typing slowly just so you can try to keep up. I figure if I spread the letters out occasionally, you might be able to sound some things out and increase your com-pre-hen-sion at least 1%. Trying to work with you here, boy.
Your statement about "hanging off a ledge" illustrates my point. Boyz do stunts like that.
As for your confusion, if you pull you head out... you might see the light and become unconfuse.

Korg you confuse me. You swear up and down that you're not a partisan and yet you seem to make a career out of being a Republican apologist. Bush Sr. also made the list, as did Gingrich and Reagan. Ummmm, so? They even named an inanimate object man of the year once. Whoopty Doo.

Sorry that you strained to understand me. I wouldn't if I were you.
The reasons are obvious that YOU shouldn't. You interpret things I say through a warped set of "glasses" and constantly misquote things or take them out of context. Of COURSE, YOU are going to be confused. I never apologized for shit as far as the Republicans go. I never publicly stated I am a Republican. I definitely am NOT a Democrat but that does not make me a Republican. I have a time-proven perspective of the international scene that held me in good stead throughout one career and makes it silly to try to debate certain posters in this (overall) forum as they appear to be factually deficient, somewhat mentally challenged (to say the least) and so socio-politically biased as to claim that we live in Hell itself when I happen to know it's only Purgatory.

As for naming an object man of the year... so F**ing what? That has nothing to do with this thread. Then again, you and others responding have repeatedly ignored the thread-starting post and tried to turn this into an attack Korg thread. That's cool. I have learned to expect if from far too many in the forums. The only value of too many of your unlearned, ill-conceived and illogical responses (collectively) is to stock my bathroom with toilet paper.

Um.. so, though I never called anyone directly a Nazi.. it is perfectly okay for you to do so?

Korg, your overall attitude towards, well, everything amazes me. What is your reason for living at this point? I have never seen a productive post from you, nor a friendly one. Infact you seem to only live to troll and flame. My god if you were banned from SL what would you do?

Also, my name isnt "Boy", it is Richard "Ryen Jade" Faraci. Since you arent deserving I expect you to call me "Richard 'Ryen Jade' Faraci" everytime you refer to me. Everyone else can call me "Ryen" or, "Ryen Jade" or, "Jade", or "Ry". I dont mind, but you will be calling me "Richard 'Ryen Jade' Faraci" everytime you refer to me, or it will not be a valid post.

I will also be calling you "Curm" for now on, be thankful that I am even calling you this, since you arent even deserving of my notice.

KTHXBYE :D
