The Righties and their "Ignore Feature"...

Quote from cgroupman:

Right back to 'normal' I guess. Something possibly negative about the right, so the right thinks is the stupidest thread ever.

Lots of negative threads on this forum about the "right". I don't agree with them, but they're not stupid.

Thank you for another further experimental result helping prove the hypothesis. So far I haven't seen a single "leftie" on the board mention putting someone on ignore., whereas the rightie crowd discuss it among themselves on a regualr basis. PSPR admitted he would just rather talk with folks that agree with him.

The fact is this: IN GENERAL Righties by nature are exclusionary with their inputs. They like things neat and simple and black or white.

By excluding opinions, facts and knowledge that may upset the apple cart of their mind, they have chosen ignorance. They have chosen the ignore feature in their heads.

This propensity to erect walls and stay within a self-determined reality leads to problems when interacting with the outside world.
An example of this is the artificial divide and friction between peoples of different religions. Even between religions which have common cores. Mankind does need any more walls based on ignorance.

I had a leftie nearly throwing furniture at me recently. He hated Fox News saying it was biased and insisted that MSNBC was the only news outlet anybody should watch. I laughed at him and told him they are both biased but I'm twice as informed as him because I watch them both... The bastard was escalating towards violence and I was trying to have a nice meal so I had to go to another table.. I bought him a bottle of Midol eventually.. Most people on the left need a bottle of Midol, they are such blowhards...

Please stop pretending like you know what you're talking about. You're just a hollowed-out sound bite receptacle. How about this: I won't pretend to know how to fly planes, and you don't pretend to have a clue about economics, accounting or finance. The US is well and truly screwed if it doesn't also address revenues. Bookmark it here.

Dost though cup of arrogance overfloweth, AGAIN?



WE DO NOT HAVE A REVENUE PROBLEM.

You start with logic, watching both networks, knowing full well they have their individual biases. Then you end up with, left, Midol, and blowhards. It sort of negates the non-bias stance you started with.
I'm just saying.

OK, I would hope you would agree that we can have better discourse if we stopped all the childish comments, yes, even 'stupid' is, well, stupid.

It's pretty well established that the most prolific user of the word "stupid" is tinfoil.

I forgot, is he on the "right" or the "left"?:p
