kallend 2,027 #51 May 5, 2004 Quote QuoteNo - I am comparing the credentials of the scientists who criticize Bush with the credentials of the military folks who criticize Kerry, and observing that one group (the scientists) appears to be extraordinarily well qualified, whereas the other group is just average. Just average? Who do you suggest is better qualified to judge Kerry than those who he reported to? - Jim Why did the people he reported to recommend Kerry for the Silver Star and Purple Heart at the time, but change their tune 30 years later when his political agenda is different from theirs?...

kelpdiver 2 #53 May 5, 2004 Speaker's Corner is a good proof for the "mono thread" concept - all subjects eventually become about Bush and Kerry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,998 #59 May 6, 2004 >But which of the two is most Hitler-like? Will we find out at the >bottom of the thread? Well, but first one has to say "why don't you try reading my post before replying?" and the other has to say "You obviously didn't read MY post." And then there has to be a round of : "I never said that." "You (liberals/conservatives) have a short memory. Here's what you said:" "You're taking that out of context as usual." "What, you expect me to quote the entire post?" And then a few obligatory slams at the entire democratic/republican/socialist/wiccan party. And then a thinly veiled personal insult, like "people who think like you are idiots." Only then can we have a Godwin attack. Geez. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, yeah, it was all just your ruse to catch Johnrich. Clever of you to use yourself as a decoy to make him be the one who was having an off-thread discussion.

juanesky 0 #64 May 6, 2004 QuoteQuote I just can't resist. QuoteWhat are your scientific credentials? Or are you just sniping again? Professor, do you remember the old childhood saying "It takes one to know one"? - Jim I AM a scientist, and I don't recognize juanesky as one I think you are wrong. To become a scientist, you should be able to construct an accurate representation of the world. By that should use standard procedures and criteria to minimize the influence your personal and cultural views may affect the proposition of a theory. John Rich pointed this out. I was just making a joke at that. Even smart people can come up with very good explanations for mistaken point of views. As far as your political thoughts and tendencies, I don't believe you are one either. Personally I prefer when you enlighten us about your physics knowledge that particularly applies to our sport. But that perhaps, is just me."According to some of the conservatives here, it sounds like it's fine to beat your wide - as long as she had it coming." -Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you are proud of having hijacked a thread and taken it off-topic? Sorry, but that is a breach of etiquette. If you're not going to respect this social rule with others, don't expect others to respect it for your threads. You're one of those people who just can't stand to let others have the last word, even when you started something. You're not content to voice your opinion, then let someone else respond, and let it drop at that. No, you always have some kind of come-back, relevant or not. That's what got this thread hijacked - you refused to back off as etiquette would dictate, and go start your own thread for your own topic. I'll bet you can't resist the urge to post a come-back to this message either. Go ahead, prove to me that you can do it - don't respond to this message! I double-dog dare you.
