1. Now when you grow up...
you'll learn it's best just to stay in the Lounge. ;)

Seriously though, you can handle them.

4. Feel the burn, and wear it with pride!
You can't post opinionated topics in GD for more than a few days and not get flamed. Happens to us all. If you're pissing people off, you're probably doing something right.

11. I read that thread. It looked like you, umm, poked a angry badger.
Some people are very attached to their candidate, and take it personally if you speak against them.

Just make sure you wear your Nomex coveralls when you post in GD.

:silly:

19. If it makes you feel any better...
Am with you re: your original post there. Kerry would NOT be the best choice in '08. I, too was more of an Edwards person, along with Dean and Kucinich.

And I hope that Hillary does NOT make a bid for the WH in '08. She's too Centrist bordering on the Right.

26. Too bad you're not old enough to vote
Of course, even then, the Kerry/Clinton groupies wouldn't deign to allow you an opinion that differs from that of the herd.

Here's my post, FWIW.

27. You made a valid point
and I agree. Frankly it would please me to no end to see a tried and true liberal as our candidate, but realistically that's unlikely. I can't think of a candidate that would totally please everyone. However, there is no point in selecting a polarizing one either.

30. Just stay here!
I'm not going over there, as much as I'd like to help you!

Besides, people don't care who can win. It seems like they want who they want- regardless. It's as if emotions take over, or they can't see the forest for the trees.

By the way, I live in the south and I know exactly what you are saying.

Ever wonder why I don't discuss politics anymore? What's the point? :shrug:

31. Don't worry about it, Ava.
Edited on Thu May-25-06 12:03 PM by Akoto
I said that I was abstinent in one discussion and ended up being called all sorts of things. If that happens to me, then it's inevitibly going to happen to you. Just shrug at them and move along. :)

I've had 3rd degree from the lounge group before and now know to tread lightly when ever I pass through. No matter how hot it's get I still love it here.
