It's insulting enough to them that we even have an opinion.

Get off the meds for a few days and let your heads clear out, you're starting to believe your own nonsense. As far as intelligence, I was not aware that a degree was any proof of it. I feel embarrassed for anyone who has to state how smart they are. Have a modicum of class fellas, and lets debate politics. Lets "ALL" of us debate politics. What's next, your momma's fat jokes?

He dishes it out, he gets it back. Y'all need to stop playing the victim. Don't give me this "Where is all the hate coming from?" bullshit, Jay. You've slung enough to keep up with the best of us. Or have you contracted amnesia when it comes to that too?

I'm not pointing fingers at any one person. This forum, in the beginning, was chocked full of opinions pertaining to whatever the point at hand was. Now it sometimes reads like the comments sections on Youtube. Name calling begets name calling. I don't understand the emotionalism of it all. Everyone here has an opinion and as far as I'm concerned they are welcome to it. I can disagree without getting so fired up I have to resort to personal attacks. If I can prove that a poster is wrong, or if someone can prove me wrong, so be it. No need to get all pissed off.
I recognize that some of the topics are vitally important to the future of this country as we know it but tempered discussion will bring us to solutions faster than animus.
Just my two cents worth.

Excellent post. Although I think your use of 3 'I's is completely wrong and evil. Why do you hate America?

Agreed.....But, does it pertain to Mezz and DJ? Or is it okay when they do it?

I for one would prefer to read posts that stick to the issues and engage in dialog, heated or otherwise. The name calling does seem a bit tedious after awhile.

Heck, it's always OK when your side does it
I don't recall making clarifing statements in my agreement with the gentlemanly JI one Dave. Or is it, mushy treehugging pinko commie
I thought John was talking to everyone btw. I get hotheaded occasionally too.

I know you do, but it's usually hard to tell. You're not very brutal, are you?
I was trained how to be brutal, profane and thoroughly insulting by the very best.....The Great and Mighty United States Navy. And, prior to that the lovably dark and sarcastic citizens of Ohios Mahoning Valley.
