Students Kicked Off Campus for Wearing American Flag Tees - Page 7

Thanks for the clarification.

I dont deny my role in what many see as disruptive discussions...but I will continue to respond aggressively to name calling and personal attacks (socialist scumbag) and misrepresentations of my posts (somehow I favor rights for terrorists over citizens or I support the actions of the school principal) or I "failed" because my opinion counters another posters.

Thats my position and I stand by it.

But I would have no problem at all with the moderators taking a more active role to minimize those distractions and disruptions...to warn folks against name calling.... or to tell posters to stick to the facts and one's own opinion and not disparage another posters opinion...or to remind posters that when asked for a cite, they should provide a cite and not respond by saying "prove me wrong"

Do it on a level playing field and I'm good.

And I am still ready to engage in a moderated discussion with Merc, Classic or even UG....anytime.

You might be surprised. It might not only be entertaining and amusing..but informative as well.

Like I said in the drug war thread. If you guys could start your own constitutional rights thread then other people could participate.

It is intolerably annoying to see the same single issue over and over again ( unresolved )

Are we saying these "Ay-men" like Southerners, or "Ahh-men" like Yankees? I just wanted to make sure I did it the right way so my vote would be counted.

I think it's emphasis is on the A Man like the burly dudes say it.

LOL I know I'm new- and feel free to say STFU, but Clod, that was really funny.

I think it is Aye-Maaaayen!

Flint · 05-09-2010, 10:55 PM

Can I just say ƒuckin'-A? Does that count?

...

What are we voting on?

Flint · 05-09-2010, 11:32 PM

Yeah, like, four syllables. Ah Ee Mee En

Mexican kid attacks a white kid for wearing an american flag shirt?
Press charges against the mexican kid.

A purple kid attacks a polk a dot kid for having the wrong color dots?
Press charges against the aggressor.
...

But whatever you do, DON'T try to prevent the attack!

RUINS my cellar experience. I know I'm not alone in this. can I get an AMEN?

FUCK

Amen. The only thing worse is when someone gets singled out for a gang stomping.

Can we get an AMEN for for stopping those assholes?

Here's what happens:

Someone posts a topic...any topic.

There are maybe 1-2 pages of casual discussion about it, and possibly some divergence of opinion that people discuss and toss different view points around.

Then a 'Politco' posts an opinion which will invariably include some non funny attempt at an acerbic comment about the opposing 'team' .... and then the thread will jump 3 pages in 11 minutes and consist of nothing but the unattractive side of a bitter argument between what surely must be estranged lovers.

SO, it's not all about you, Redux. as I said....it's the part you play over and over again. you all dance for each other. I, for one am not amused or entertained by it. And really, I like to be amused and entertained.

Redux debates the issue. He does not get nasty until someone else acts nasty.

back on topic:

IMO, quickly and harshly dealing with aggressors does prevent those who may be tempted to behave in a similar manner in the future. It is just my opinion but I believe it is more effective than telling someone not to wear a t shirt because it might get someone else all worked up.

as for the rest, I was being sarcastic. I don't know that you are aligned with redux anymore than he/she knows that jinx and i are 'Royals' and everyone who has agreed with me are 'minions'

that was my point.

Shawnee and Spex:

Lord Jim and Lady Jinx have spoken and their minions have affirmed their fealty.

We have displeased the Cellar and we must atone or be stricken from the fiefdom.

“Nay” I say… “Revolt!”

“Let not the voices of the oppressed be silenced….Fear naught bringing controversy to the kingdom, Fellow Cellarites.”

For if not, I fear thy kingdom is doomed to perpetual boredom and stagnation in the guise of entertaining and amusing the Royals.
