I love your opening line..."The OP is operating from a purely confrontational point of view". Umm, you might want to re-read the thread bro. In fact, every accusation you sling at me is true about yourself on a much larger scope. Not the least of which is instead of a thread on socialism we have a thread thats an off topic flame war. So who is baiting who?

I guess when I made my entire point in my second post it was actually a sneaky trick. I was baiting you all into having an discussion, wait, an arguement that was loaded. Forutnetly for everyone Mr Green was wise to my slick tactics and exposed it with rightousness with maturity.

Mr Green clearly has the 4 most knowledgable and helpful posts in this thread. He has saved us all from any prospect of discussing the topic.

Our local hero Mr Green has sucessfully slayed another terrorist thread. Now go give those half baked freshman students hell brother!

Sorry, I'll address your second post then.

Your argument is that conservatives are calling socialized medicine the road to communism, and that in fact socialism is not communism and (main point) socialism does not lead to communism.

Congratulations, you set up a strawman and you beat him down! Good work! You've passed PoliSci 100. Go back to sleep, no one gives a fuck. You're arguing against the wind.

Well bro, you have continued to defend yourself and failed to recognize this is a discussion not an arguement. The only arguement has been with you over your own ego. Even in your supposed "response to the topic" you manage to include multiple flames and do nothing to advance the topic.

But thats OK. Since your trolling I had given up on the topic after my last post.

If you want to turn this into a personal flame war I would be happy to put your pseudo intellect where it belongs. Although I try to avoid this stuff in my advancing age I still do enjoy a good flame war....from time to time.

Good job understanding half the topic and vomiting it back up. My 5 year old nephew could do that.

Actually strawman is taught in philosophy 101.

I need to photoshop harri's face into jessica's head to see if he makes a better looking woman. Because seriously, there are huge swaths of Jessica Simpson that are not attractive.

You've had two months and we've got nothing.

I want action.

You can't rush greatness...



I'm pretty sure this is who homer was referring to when he said "save me Jeebus!"

That picture is the place where boners go to die.

Give me your boners.

You should all be banned for the necro-bump.

D should be double-banned for the abomination he has created.

Harri should be double-secret-banned for being so got-damned-sexah.
