Lemonite...you crack me up. But it is something I'd expect the Second Eye of Mullah Omar to act like.

i believe all i said was i couldn't remember what i was going to say, followed by me telling you to eat the crust. i don't see how this is so insulting.

i, however, can't remember the last time i have been so insulted by someone who clearly has nothing better to do than to spend their time saying everyone who doesn't agree with them is the epitome of dog shit. it's your loss, it sure as hell ain't mine.

Nice one, mate.

This forum is plenty interesting as it is without people (and you aren't the sole culprit here) ripping into others and judging their character because they don't stack up to your political prowress.

It's pretty fucking sad to see both sides thrashing each other just for fucks's sake of it all. Whatever. It gets real old real fast seeing republicans bashing democrats, and democrats bashing republicans. If any of you (and you know who you are) want to better represent the party you respect, then you'd refrain from the arrogant insults and have a bit more self control when formulating a rebuttal.


Ah yes, I am however waiting for a detailed report on the tens.. maybe fifteens of those others who resort to degrading remarks and personal attacks..

OK, fair enough. lol! Thanks for the (my) tee hee. That was actually a brilliantly concocted post, really I'm being sincere here!

As long as I know you meant no personal harm (or else I'd have to spank you and uh, I'd have to charge you for that. Kidding, kidding...) No harm no foul? - sometimes it gets a bit, well, difficult to see what a person is getting at when they write in a forum, let alone a thread where tempers flare and emotions are at stake. I just like to see things civil and peaceful though Free Your Mind has a tendancy to become a spectator sport for me, that's all.

This is turning into a zoo? Really? Ha. As it always does in FYM when it breaks off into teams and there's a flamin and tensions are high for 60+ posts.

More threads like these need comedic homor to break the tension, wind down the hostility of this thread. What's so wrong with that? I quite like it better than things ending on a sour note.

lol. I think you misunderstood me. The zoo I was referring to was the stupid flame war. Not the humor element.

I'm pretty sure that's what I thought you meant. The blame rests on me though. I *almost* got my pantioes twisted up in a knot. That's what I get when I post before I've had all my morning coffee.

But for me, I'll take the word fumbler any day.



Good point, but then, as evidenced by your moniker, you actually think 80's U2 music is best - so clearly you are insane.

I'd ask you the same question, but I don't like to ask questions I already know the answer to.

I see you don't watch the Fox News Channel, nor have paid attention to the last twenty years. Democrats are spineless.

Lemonite;

The Kyoto Protocol is NOT a piece of shit, though your president thinks it so.

America doesn't even account for 1/6th of the world's population, but produces a ridicuolous amount of polution, more than 2/6ths in fact. I forgot the actual percentage figures as I was conducting research for an essay on the Kyoto Protocol a while back, but the fractions are corresponding. Believe me, on the spot, such statistics proves that America has more than an obligation to pay for the pollution it produces, it owes much more than a mere duty.

The abandonment of the Kyoto Protocol was a terrible token of American Industrial arrogance, a crowning gesture from a nation that is perfectly willing to pump god-knows what into the atmosphere, but not to pay for it; with great power comes great responsibility, Lemonite, and this concept of power applies to economic power too. America should pay, probably more than anyone, and its as simple as that.

With your example of China, let me just add that China has a substantially larger population than the USA's, and somehow consumes LESS of the Earth's limited resources than the USA. China, with a larger population, still consumes less resources and produces less polution.

No, I did not like Bill Clinton because he bowed down to my country, as you so eloquently put it, if anybody did any bowing at all, I'd say it was OUR prime-minister Tony Blair who's had his nose firmly stuck up America's arse for ages, as was the nose of his predecessor John Major and countless before. I liked Bill Clinton because he, for whatever reason he may have had for doing it, showed a sign of humility in what he did. ie - he did not act as if America was the only country in the world and abandon the Kyoto Protocol.
