You do, but probably cannot find the right words. Great graphic by the way.
This thread makes me sick. What did she do to deserve this derision other than born black and an enviable education?

Weren't you aware that she is the extension of the nanny state trying to tell parents what their kids have to eat?

Oh, OK, fine, we're on the same page. My misunderstanding, sorry.

We are more often than not. Seeing as it's Saturday and past noon, let's drink a beer!

A cold one will be cracked in your honor.

The shit threads almost always attract a lot of traffic.

On the other hand, post something of substance and it will either rot on the vine, or be derailed into a shit fest.

I've been posting on internet political forums for over eight years now and found this to be true everywhere, and I have to say my posting style has evolved into a trollish one as a result.

However, as forums go, I have found this to be one of the better ones.

The difference is I'm always in complete control of my emotions.

I know exactly where I am at all times.

I may appear like I'm about to go over the edge, but I never will.

DJ and the Tar Baby are such people. Tough they're a minority here, they are a large one.

We are a nation of idiots.

Just as we see here with DJ and Tar Baby, the crazies have taken control of the debate. They barrage the rest of us with their moronic conspiracy theories and their racism. Up to a certain point, they're fairly easy to ignore but as they increase the volume (in both senses of the word) of their imbecilic hatred, other (saner) people feel compelled to respond in order to challenge, object to or ridicule the crazies.

That shifts the focus of the discussion. We end up talking about whether President Obama was born in Kenya instead of our foreign policy regarding the African continent. We end up debating the very existence of climate change rather than mapping out strategies to reverse it. We waste our time arguing over Creationism vs. evolution when we should be thoughtfully discussing the role of religion in a technological age.

We are a nation of idiots.

PS: we are a nation of idiots.

Thank you so much John for your extended explanation. I do not know why I am still in love with the United States - but actually I am...

We are talking about mass stupidity here? But this is not a sheer USA problem. Mass stupidity threatens societies globally. I regret that politicians like Obama generally have such poor ability to assert themselves, despite their skills - because the circumstances they are confronted with hinder far-reaching action.

I knew about her obesity program but did not realize the implications. Thanks for clarifying it for me Marc. I stopped watching TV since around 2004 so am very much insulated from the political drama. Of course, this has paid dividends in my acquisition of audio gear.

Excuse me but I see all this criticism of AObama because he is not leading. What pray tell could he have done that he has not?
