Originally Posted By Chris in Atlanta DAR! LOL I misread your post that said >>>I wouldn't mind Osama being worked over<<< as "Obama being worked over" and I was like, daaaaaaaaamn! That ain't right! Whew...wow ok much better now. For a minute I thought you had proven this OP outright true in one off handed post!

The opinion piece used the JAMA piece as a source, but then reached conclusions the JAMA piece DID NOT REACH. I pointed that out, and said that your attempt to conflate the two (which you just repeated) was not right. That's a valid criticism. Which you whine is an "attack." < I only got flippant and "played debating games" when, in response to mine and other moderately conservative points, Dabob repeated liberal talking points and backed them up by pointing to a liberal opinion piece.> Well, this is instructive. My first post was 41, which anyone can go back and look at. It was in response to a DAR post, and something mawnck said; nothing you said at all - it really isn't all about you, you know. And I didn't "repeat liberal talking points," I simply gave my opinion on who the dominant voices are in the GOP right now. You can disagree and that's fine, but my opinion on this is as valid as any other. Then I went to a link that pointed out that FreedomWorks (the leading Tea Party Day sponsor) is run by Dick Armey, which is simply a fact. And then you responded to this entirely non-offensive post with the beginning of the nonsense: a two word "blinders on." No response to my opinion with your own opinion (which is what the boards are supposed to be), or any evidence that, say, Dick Armey DOESN'T run FreedomWorks... just the two-word nonsense, as though that could negate all that came before and make us "even" or something. It really is sub-schoolyard stuff ("nu-uh" would be as useful) and yes, I called you on it. And that made you whine about "attacks" again. And on and on it goes. I don't know why I even bother trying to get you back to where you were (others have stopped, and I don't blame them). But it may be useful for others to see where this started.++ EXHIBIT B++<And on and on it goes.> Boy, that's the truth. It's what you do.++ EXHIBIT C++"Another "I know you are but what am I" post. No response to the substance. Thanks for proving my point."++ EXHIBIT D++"There wasn't any substance. Just the usual drivel."++ What a bunch of CRAP, Doug. He writes a long, well thought out post, and you dismiss it as "drivel". And then you give OTHERS a hard time? There is no question anymore, you are simply a tool, and a pathetic tool at that. You can't even argue your way out of a paper bag. Pathetic.

As for Japan curiosity, I'll by you a beer at the Tokyo Disney Resort Planet Hollywood if you ever come out the the land of the rising sun! See ya soon!

Originally Posted By Mr X ***There is some truth to that, I mean I wouldn't mind Osama being worked over. At least grant me that.*** I'll grant you that and then some DAR. We ALL want that. Seriously. Don't you think that I would personally like some time in a room with that MF? I would (hell, give the guy a freaking knife and a baseball bat too, and I'd STILL go in, and I wouldn't care if he kills me so long as I at least got a crack at the MFer!). Gladly. But that's the whole thing of "personal outrage", versus "collective justice", that we've all discussed over and over. I don't think the state should condone it (although my liberal side slumps in the face of terrorists, I'm very much in favor of the death penalty for them SO LONG AS THEY ARE FAIRLY TRIED AND FOUND GUILTY...no more gulags!). But that was long winded and probably useless but I just don't want you to get the impression that I feel any less strongly than you do (or any of us...aside from perhaps the families of the victims who feel even more strongly!), that those criminal pieces of filth deserve nothing less than to be killed. I just don't want us to lower ourselves to their sick level in the meantime. Working them over makes us thugs too. If they are tried and found guilty, kill them quick and done. I appreciate your sentiment DAR, perhaps more than you think I do.

Originally Posted By Mr X ***>>>There is no question anymore, you are simply a tool<<< What exactly is a "tool" ?*** Tool; (see definition 4) A person, typically male, who says or does things that cause you to give them a 'what-are-you-even-doing-here' look. The 'what-are-you-even-doing-here' look is classified by a glare in the tool's direction and is usually accompanied by muttering of how big of a tool they are. The tool is usually someone who is unwelcome but no one has the balls to tell them to get lost. The tool is alwasys making comments that are out-of-place, out-of-line or just plain stupid. The tool is always trying too hard to fit in, and because of this, never will. <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tool" target="_blank">http://www.urbandictionary.com...erm=tool</a> Hard to say, but you know one when you meet one. Doug DEFINITELY is one, probably by choice..but if anyone ever called me a tool, I would seriously reconsider my life. Seriously. Sucks to be a tool.
