But if you see something you don't want to watch, piss and moan but continue to keep on watching it anyway, we're just going to assume you're another douche bag with a bee up his a** that is out there looking for something to be upset/offended by. I turned off the TV once I felt I'd seen all there needed to be seen, and I lo-o-o-o-ove Barack Obama. What's your excuse?Howlitzer wrote:No, I'm not going to turn it off. That's telling me to be ignorant of something rather than complain about it when I see problems, which, tbh, is rather hypocritical.
I HAVE watched the TV, and it's for that very reason that I'm calling the media on this....so yes, I have the right to complain. It's if I WASN'T watching the TV that you would have more warrant in telling me to be quiet about it.
Sadly, we do live in a country where people will go out of their way to find something to be upset and/or offended by, and that goes double for anything regarding a Democrat in office (remind me again, why was Bill Clinton impeached and George W. Bush not?). So sorry Howlitzer, but all I'm seeing right now is another meatheaded staunch republican with a bee up his a**. After eight years of Bush, the American people are hungry for politics once again, and the media is just doing their job supplying it to them. If you'd rather watch All My Children than a historic moment in our nation's history, that's your problem and no one else's.
Oh,so now I'm both a douchebag and a meatheaded republican with a bee up my a**?
Did I resort to direct, childish name-calling? No.
In what distorted reality are you allowed to complain, yet me doing so to an undeniably lesser degree makes me a douchebag? Hmm?
In essence your response is a complaint about me complaining about people complaining. That's a bit redundant. If you're going to insult someone, do so efficiently, and actually back up your statement. Or, leave it alone and don't insult the person. I didn't insult you.
Sorry, Terastas. I could snap at you here, I could go onto a long rant filled with various expletives, but that's probably what you're aiming for here.
Conversely, I would need a damn FLOWCHART to properly explain how demeaning and hypocritical your response was. So yeah, not going there either. It's a waste of time.
But I will point out a few things:
1. I don't hate Obama. I explicitly said this in my post. You seem to think I do. Don't jump to conclusions. Read posts when you respond to them.
2. I did not like Bush. But I didn't hate him to the extreme a hell of a lot of other people did. I believe I pointed this out as well. Read posts before you respond to them.
3. You tell me to stop pissing and moaning after ONE post where I explain my views on the matter in what I was trying to present as something I'd put thought into, which you sadly completely overlooked. Whereas, I've been listening to people piss and moan nonstop about Bush and various other things for the last 8 years. Don't be a hypocrite. If my post qualifies as pissing and moaning, then by your standards...you shouldn't be talking.
4. I'm not a Republican. Don't call me a Republican. Don't call me a Meatheaded Republican. Don't call me a Douchebag. I do not have bees up my a**. And at the very least, to cap it off....do NOT word the insults as if I'm not in the room. I find it offensive. I'm even asking nicely: please.
Thanks. Bye.
