There was once another prolific poster who kept insisting that this was a "discussion board," not a community. Maybe you should get yourself a YouTube channel.

I have tried to be respectful in responding to your suggestions and because I disagree, I should go somewhere else? I abide by the rules of the community and have said repeatedly now that I would try to do better. That should be enough, but thanks for this latest suggestion as well.

I do find it funny that you have no problem suggesting how I should behave but you have no suggestions to The Mercenary on how he might be a better contributor to the community ("we can don't care enough to stop him").

We tried very hard with merc but he is incapable of improving. As a newer poster, we have not lost hope in you.

*EVERY SINGLE RECIPIENT IS BIASED.
*EVERY SINGLE FEDERAL EMPLOYEE IS BIASED
*EVERY SINGLE CONTRACTOR THAT WORKS FOR, WITH OR NEAR A GOV'T FACILITY OR LIVES WITHIN 5 MILES OF ANY GOV'T EMPLOYEE, TW, LOBBYIST, CONTRACTOR, YOU OR FAMILY MEMBER OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED THEREOF, IS BIASED.

NOW TO YOUR QUESTION -

Do you think those who received stimulus funds are inherently biased, or intentionally misleading, and inflate the numbers

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

WHAT PART OF THAT ARE YOU NOT GRASPING?

And again perhaps you both missed it - I am trying to leave the politics for you two to post in. Have fun. PLEASE, again PLEASE leave me out.

Don't get your panties in a twist. Just quit responding. *shrug*

In other words:

Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this.

Doctor: Then quit doing that.

In even other words:

Um, something about heat and kitchens.

Yeah, really. Classic keeps saying he's not going to post here anymore, but then he keeps on posting and posting in the same manner that people have been complaining about. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Enough already.

[classicman]

Ohhh, look what the cat dragged in again....
Thought we weren't posting to/at each other?

Thanks Sam, I'll try harder.

Then again you were using emotions as a replacement for logic. Nothing new.

You still did not answer Redux's simple question. How do you again avoid answering? But red letters? Threatening to stop posting? None of that answered his simple question:

Tell me...which of these facts is incorrect?

Well if we all missed it, then the honorable thing to do is repost the paragraph. Honorable - without incendiary language and angry accusations.

Or maybe we are really reading replies from Emma? ...

wah

[Shawnee123]

I'll apologize. I poked. Sometimes classic is pokeable. Sorry classic.

I'll shut up again. Ugh...hard to give up isn't it?

In the spirit of compromise and Clod's suggestion to become more community-oriented, but still remaining true to my personal preferences, I will host a Tea Party in the Politics Room where members can ask me what foods I am embarrassed to like, whats upsetting me at the moment, have I ever been arrested (yes, details at the Tea Party - I need a teaser).

Saturday brunch, 11:00 am?

The Mercenary is free to bring his "Obama is a Socialist" sign and there will be a whine tasting table in the corner for any Classic members.

[SamIam]

Is that Eastern Time?

Oh, and be sure to tell us how you would roast left over vegies and include an original poem or two. LOL

An interesting report from the UK.

Patients were routinely neglected or left “sobbing and humiliated” by staff at an NHS trust where at least 400 deaths have been linked to appalling care.

An independent inquiry found that managers at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust stopped providing safe care because they were preoccupied with government targets and cutting costs.

The inquiry report, published yesterday by Robert Francis, QC, included proposals for tough new regulations that could lead to managers at failing NHS trusts being struck off.

It certainly does sound appalling.

But whats your point?

Dont we have tens of thousands of deaths a year in the US as a result of improper hospital care - wrongful surgeries, hospital borne infections, dispensing wrong medication, etc?
