Should Kerry apologize for his comments about the troops?

[twylight]

hehehehe


I'll grant that it was a joke gone bad, however I live next to an army base and attacking the soldiers is nothing new. Right as the 'war' started we had dozens of hate signs and 'make love not war' signs out in front of the main Gate of the base.

So many in fact the town had to make a law against it. >.<

It's demoralizing.

That said...gentlemen drop this.

1. You're practically flaming.

2. It's way off topic.

3. Does it even really matter?

seriously? what the hell is wrong with people.

No, I only made up about where I live. I actually live in a Yurt in Siberia.




Yes, and what's wrong is people get so caught up in 'facts' and 'opinions' that they forget there are real people in the world.
People who aren't a part of the decision making, but who are caught up in the reciprocation of the decisions.

That's what's wrong.

 

[War Lord]

Are you saying that only opinion matters to you? I'm just trying to clear up a few things about your worldview.

they're called Fact...Check..org. they check.....facts.....('facts' claimed by either party).

Unless....are you saying they aren't doing that?

Anybody can call themselves what they want, but that doesn't make them so.

responding to a post intended to discredit my source is not flaming.

agreed

well, it's a messageboard nothing really matters. it e-matters
and in this case it e-matters because otherwise everyone could quote any opinion page and call it truth

and well, that would be wrong.

[twylight]

Alright there is a simple and logical way to solve this, instead of ya'll fighting back and forth about what is 'fact' and what is 'opinion'.

Mr Sparkles: Does your 'source' have any sources listed to prove it's correct?

Jonty, my love: Do you have any 'proof' to discredit Mr. Sparkles 'source'?

 

[Mr Sparkle]

Mr Sparkle: Does your 'source' have any sources listed to prove it's correct?

yes, hence it being called "factcheck.org" all you need to do is read it.
the cover page of factcheck says it best

"everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts"

Now that Kerry has appologized, I think it's time for the matter to be dropped.

 

[twylight]

But Hippie..we were having so much fun

you should apologize to the word apologized

 

[Bill O'Reilly]

John Kerry is just showing his hate for the American Armed Forces. What he needs to do is shut his yap. Though, the big winner in all of this is Hilary Clinton.

 

[KingOfDreams]

Wow, I didn't know Bill O'Reilly was a comic book fan.

 

[jaguarr]

Wow, I didn't know Bill O'Reilly was a comic book fan.

He's not a horror movie fan, though.

[Mr Sparkle]

I couldn't resist.

Anybody can call themselves what they want, but that doesn't make them so.

that may be so.... for instance , you can call yourself, "right" over and over and over*, but that doesn't make it so.


is that what you meant?







*without a shred of evidence to back up your claim

 

[hippie_hunter]

Sorry apologized

If you mean right, as in correct, I've never made the claim to be so.

But if you mean right-wing, I'm proud to say that I am.

Preach the truthiness, my lord and master.

 

[Fred_Fury]

John Kerry should resign over this latest scandal.

 

[War Lord]

John Kerry should resign over this latest scandal.

I'd rather keep him around. He's more useful that way.

 

[Kmack]

I say no, it wasn't so much as an insult to the troops as Bush, and Bush should be insulted. Periodically. . .which he is so I don't see a problem

 

[sinewave]

John Kerry should resign over this latest scandal.

Just like Bush should resign after his tasteless "where's the WMD?" joke a few years back at some White House dinner.

 

[Addendum]

John Kerry should resign over this latest scandal.

wow. Fred Fury posted again.

 

[Daisy]

Let's face it - there IS no man who will ever be good enough to be our President.

Therefore, I nominate Daisy for 2008!

^ I will vote for Daisy.

Why do you people hate me so?

i'm not convinced she'll be old enough to run!



'cause ...she looks so young....and all.


:meow:

:heart: :heart: :heart:

Sadly, you just made me realize that I AM old enough to run for president... more than old enough. I'd never though about it before.
