Oh look, its more of the PC police stepping up to make sure I don’t offend anyone.
I don’t know guys, I hear a lot of you right wing wingnuts complaining about political correctness, but obviously you are all for it if you are the ones being insulted.
Surprise, surprise, smells like hypocrisy.
Anyway, if Jerffy ever decides to express himself in a manner deserving of something other than derision and laughter, maybe I’ll do something other than snicker at his loony antics.
So, make up your mind. Are you for the PC movement or aren’t you?

It’s not about “political Correctness” as much as it is about civil (mature) debate.
We can usually tell when there is a frustrated teen on this forum as he name calls constantly. He states things on the Internet he wouldn’t say to someones face. This is NOT the picture I have of you, yet you resort to childish name calling probably as much as any of the teens who post. I simply wonder why?
While I think over all you are a bright individual you do nothing but harm to any cause that you represent because of the over abundance of immature name calling which seems to take over almost every thread that you become involved with.
You think phrases like: “ass clown” actually help represent your opinion? Think again!
I think you can attack someones position without attacking them. I also think you know the difference, but since it’s the Internet you want to take advantage of that. Does attacking someone on the Internet somehow give you gratification? I am seriously wondering…
I always consider your points when they are not laced with childish personal attacks. In fact, I think you had some very good posts regarding exactly what we need to do about terrorism on another thread. I don’t mind telling you I was very impressed with your point of view and how well you presented it.
I know it’s frustrating when many of us disagree with you. However, try to remember that everyone does not see the world the way you do. If someone defends the Bush administration that does not necessarily make them a bad person. It simply means that we disagree.
Please consider what I have stated.
Take care,
Zeb
I love when Zebster resorts to the “lets lull him with your really a great guy and and we know it’s so frustrating for you” while at the same time using “We’ll very subtly compare him to a teenager who is making internet tough guy remarks” in the hope it makes him question himself and his position.
I like others sometimes get very abrasive, difference is I don’t see you climbing on your pulpit when one of your “like minded buddies” starts ripping loose with the hostile cussing and name calling… Oh, but let Vroom let out one “Ass Clown” and good ol Zeb is putting on the preaching robes!
Seems like you selectively choose to preach Zeb when it fits your agenda.
You guys can be pretty phony at times!
Vroom, ProfX, 100meteres, others have attempted countless times to “debate in courtesy” and start getting the snide, sarcastic, hostile, remarks, when they respond back in kind, you start crying that they are so meansey weansey and offend your poor lil hurt sensibilities.
Try being real for once. [/quote]
You know what dude? What’s worse than throwing out personal insults at the drop of a hat is making blanket statements implying that a person’s political orientation determines their level of sincerity.
Guess what? I had my character, personality and even sense of style trounced on with name calling and the like over one stupid photo - one that you still made an issue of. Despite all that, I haven’t resorted to name-calling or online fisticuffs. Yet when you find someone disagreeing with your point of view, you’ve gotta pull out the “assclown” card? Give me a break.
Speak your piece. If you’re mentally strong enough to rise above the petty, immature BS, your voice will be heard a lot more clearly by all sides. This doesn’t just go for “left wing” guys on this board either, it’s directed at anybody that resorts to throwing out personal insults in uncalled for situations like a legitimate idealogical debate.
Peace.
