morphsci Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 That is a valid point. School aged children are capable of making up their own minds and forming a coherent thought. Republican vice-presidential candidates (and current POTUS) are not. Thanks for reminding me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morphsci Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Especially if properly browbeaten: NC Teacher for Obama Browbeats Kids : NO QUARTER Check out Finish video of an US classroom teacher and her children. Goes both ways. A local teacher here was put on academic leave pending an investigation of verbally abusing students that made positive comments about Obama or negative comments about McCain. Caused quite an uproar at the local school board meeting. Neverthesless, both are merely anecdotal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A local teacher here was put on academic leave pending an investigation of verbally abusing students that made positive comments about Obama or negative comments about McCain. Caused quite an uproar at the local school board meeting. Neverthesless, both are merely anecdotal. Edmund Burke said quoted from here: Quote Details: Edmund Burke: All that is necessary... - The Quotations Page: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." In our culture today one could ask who are those "good men?" Today those that are less than "good men" would want all people to think everyone is a crook and without honor. When they get you thinking that way then everyone would be thought of as being without honor. Crooks are always going around undermining men of honor. Men of honor need not apply today since our culture does not identify any as a "good men." The it "goes both ways" note quoted above is to be taken in this context. Therefore, any behavior may seem to be justified no manner how reprehensible, even a holocaust can seem a reasonable endeavor. Socialist are known for holocaust type behavior, at least they were in the 20th Century; i.e., China, U.S.S.R., Cambodia and Germany where over 100 million of their own people were killed in the name of socialism and their experiments with social equality. I think I have said enough in this thread. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Socialist are known for holocaust type behavior. If you're just trolling, then you're a fucking tool. If this is your actual reading of history, then you're a fucking moron. I think I have said enough in this thread. I think I agree with you on precisely one thing.

Also, to me, your vision of the world seems very closed-minded and USA-centric, and dividing everything between good and evil is childish. Give some rational arguments to help us to understand your point of view instead of posting stupidities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The it goes both ways was not an indictment of both sides (but I guess you were too lazy to look up the word anecdotal) but merely the reality that you can find individual incidents to bolster any side of any case. My point was that neither your example nor mine represented an overwhelming pattern or trend. Sorry Nate, but that is as nice as I can be when someone implies that I am "less than a good man". Especially when it is implied (i.e. have the balls to come right out and say what you mean) and when it is based upon their complete lack of reading comprehension. I guess eight years of not valuing education in this country has taken its toll.

aardvark baguette Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 opinion A and opinion B mostly. I think most have lost interest.
