I have behaved in a manner unbecoming a Jatraquero. Recently, starting in the Rude thread, I have used faulty logic, innuendo, and name calling, not of other members, but of politicians.
I had a tough weekend, was feeling a bit depressed, and took it out on the Republicans in our group.
Sorry.
While this may be standard procedures on political discussion boards, it is not what I expect of myself, or of Hatrack.
So I apologize.
In that vain, lets try to drop the garbage that is filling our political debates, and get to the real issues.
President Bush is not a religious fanatic looking to push his religion on the country.
Senator Kerry is not a wussy puppet of the Parisian elite.
President Bush is not a coward, an imbecile, nor man out to subvert our government into a fear filled dictatorship.
Senator Kerry is not a coward, an imbecile, nor a man out to subvert our government into a communistic socialistic state.
If President Bush is reelected, the country will survive.
If Senator Kerry is elected President, the country will survive.
In both cases, it will still be the greatest country on earth, in my opinion, and one of the greates, in most everyones opinion.
I hereby discount any argument, from any side, that contains any of the above.

*chuckles* - we all have to vent sometimes.. and this is an okay place to do it.. you just might have your thread locked and cause a huge debate or something in the process if you forget to mention that you're just venting.... no big deal of course.

Um...okay, so you've dismounted your door from its hinges, and are pointing it at a shotgun? I suppose that makes as much sense as most of what I've read on this forum.

I'm here because of temporary insanity. In a week I'll be over it (or it will be permanent). In any case, I'll leave as soon as I'm safe for rational company.
By the way, if you want to join the insanity, you know where to find it.

Settle down Wraith, or I'll curse your torrents with blocked ports and start quoting war philosophy according to Gundam.

You know, I was so pleased at the restraint we showed. Pleased at myself, in particular, because I so often end up feeding trolls.

Or, wait...perhaps that would cure me. Does there come a point at which insanity cannot be worse, it can only be more? When there is nothing to be lost, isn't any gamble worth a shot?
Come with me, Beren. You have lost too much to the Simarils already. The light of the two trees is gone out, it is over.
Ah crap. Stupid formatting snafus always destroying my lines.

Thanks, Dan. I have to admit I've been avoiding the political threads lately because I have enough stress at home and work that I want to avoid reading vitriolic stuff aimed at P***ing people off, rather than offering sound argument/debate.

:bump: I've not been a happy person of late. I really shouldn't have watched the debate. I'm much better off not knowing. That is not to say we should all just tune out and let the world go by. But for me it is apparently necessary. At least yesterday.
