Watching the DNC Convention and I Have to Wonder….

[starving student]

Heard a news blurp last night about the Windows 8 phone which included the overused “competition is always great for the consumer”.

Can’t help but feel how comparable that phrase is for the illusion of our political system. People will align themselves with their political party (OS) and for the majority they won’t stray from that. Even when their party (OS) doesn’t always align with their needs they’ll stick with them regardless either because of a long allegiance with them or more often a complete hatred of the other parties (OS).

An older friend of mine offered this saying about our political system:

If you’re a republican when you’re young you don’t have a heart.
If you’re a democrat when you’re old you don’t have a brain.

Still pondering that one.

your older friend must be licking his chops right about now and hardly able to contain himself at the very thought of getting his medical voucher in the mail.

a little fucking sensitive are we?
you said nothing,

NO FUCKING THING

to discredit what i said.

i repeat:

CHRONIC FUCKWIT

it's seriously laughable that people believe this chump, oh man, "yeah nah he's gonna tell the the truth this time, i'm sure of it"

oh dear jesus, even He wouldn't fall for this crap

hey, don't stop believin, i hear the glee soundtrack bellowing through the heavens

it's not the man, it's the message but you probably wouldn't understand that, you probably only understand listening to people based on their melatonin levels or lack there of….ffs

^ Uh I think it's fairly obvious that his comparison was based on the whole "crowd riled up into a frenzy" aspect of the convention rather than any specific political element.

But I guess my post is just another example of how right ideologues just can't help but not use their brains when confronted with anything that resembles opposition to what they('re told to) believe?

fixed.

So you just proved my point. I'm a right-winger in your eyes because I don't agree with you. My conservative friends do the same thing but they call me a liberal. Go figure.

[starving student]

FFS. There's absolutely NOTHING that any politician could say that would actually get me WEEPING.

Well, saying they're going to raise my fucking taxes again might get me a little misty-eyed..but actually WEEPING?

omfg.

you bleeding heart liberal you

i don't have anything to prove, you've only proven in all cases that you're one sided on the issue. you guys are all about the party I'm about what's being served, not who's serving it.

No, I'm all about thinking for myself, not blindly following ideological paths laid out before me. I'm not interested in parties at all, they're only symptoms of the ideological brainwashing.

It really just won't compute for you that (1) people can think for themselves and (2) they aren't necessarily your polar opposite/evil if they happen to disagree with you about something. The 1s and 0s just won't work together in your brain to get you to see that it seems.

Now ask me who I'm voting for.

[starving student]

so you think when people advocate unity that they're not thinking for themselves

it doesn't matter who you're voting for what matters is why you're voting for them. Judging by your modus operandi I'd have to hazard that you're voting for whomever pushes the ideas that you support the least, at least around these parts.

Well, as it always has, it depends on what they mean by "unity." You never seem to be able to express what you mean by it.

My MO, what MO? What evidence leads you to this conclusion? I know you're not going to answer so I don't know why I'm even seriously posing the question. I guess I try to keep the faith that you might one day be willing/able to intelligently answer a question without resorting to side-stepping.

one thing i noticed is how much obummer talks like MLK.
pity obummer is a complete fake and anyone who believes his bullshit is a chronic fuckwit,

fuck you dude. i'd rather believe half of what someone that speaks like MLK says than any amount of what someone who speaks like Romney/Ryan.

Romney/Ryan cannot even pretend to be telling the truth any more. it has become way too obvious. they just lie and keep going.

your comment makes you sound like some kind of racist and/or hateful piece of shit any way.

[starving student]

those questions have been answered many times over on this forum and in this thread but don't let that stop you from asking again while at the same time vehemently disagreeing with what you claim to not know. Your condescension is like a warm blanket on a smolderingly hot and unbelievably humid summer evening under a canopy of thick moist undergrowth on giligans island. I am comforted.

stringtapper will be the only one who appreciates this I'm sure.
