The American Gulag

[Jonathan50]

I can generate a tremendous amount of traffic with trivial topics, like circumcision.

But when I post about deadly serious stuff, not very many people view the post and far fewer bother to reply.

America has a gulag, with hundreds of thousands of innocent victims.

But you folks would far rather talk about Paris Hilton or circumcision than the most deadly serious topic in America today.

I deliberately set out to prove my point today, my post about earlobes was designed to draw major traffic and it succeeded about as well as I thought it would.

You people should really be ashamed of yourselves..

1. Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah.

5. If it was you or one of your loved ones locked in a cage..

Your tune would change..

6. Been There, Done That, But That's Not The Point Of The Violin.

The violin sings to you.

:nopity:

7. You don't make a whole lot of sense sometimes..

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

8. Well, Not Everyone Has The Capacity To Understand Everything Put Forth To Them.

But that doesn't mean it doesn't make sense.

9. Anyone else think that OMC's little violin makes any sense?

22. made sense to me....

Violins make music...

16. I was wondering, is your sign line a warning about you?

We're all fighting the good fight. Always remember that we're in this together, and I fight proudly beside you. Never let keyboard bullies bring you down, for we are stronger than they

20. I positively enjoy personal attacks..

It means my opponents have lost the debate, since if they had better ammunition they would use it.

I revel in personal attacks, I gloat when I'm attacked and called names.

It means I am victorious and I enjoy winning, as do most people I think.

14. He seems to not care about genocide

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

21. You Seem To Not Care About All Of The People Dying In The War In Iraq. How Shameful.

(and on edit, this is called a sarcastic ridiculous return premise, in response to a ridiculously false by any stretch of the imagination premise put forth towards me. No, I don't think the poster doesn't care about the people dying in Iraq. But then, I'm pretty sure I do in fact care about genocide too LOL)

2. One should be careful about chastising a whole group...

especially when many of us "folks" were not involved in such activities.

3. Paris Hilton was circumsized ?

Link ???

[merh]

4. Did you ever think about posting that Paris Hilton was going to

be sent to the American Gulag and that they do circumcisions there? :shrug:

Face it, it is scandal fatigue and exhaustion.

We have been outraged for 7 years now (counting the election horrors).

Nothing is being done about the crimes, no one is listening.

We are disgusted, disappointed and discouraged.

As the righties like to say, so if Bush is such a criminal why not charge and try him?

When is the trial, the impeachment.

:(

:argh:

11. And for this reason, The Enlightenment failed.

Voltaire was right.*
















*Pssst... see below.

12. Psst, see my tagline

Voltaire was right..

[Writer]

15. If that's the case, then we would toss aside Paris Hilton for the Iraq War.

We are emotive beings through and through.

13. If it helps, I hid your last thread on circumcision after I posted.

:hi:

Glad you're not upset. :)

[Jonathan50]

17. I honestly don't understand the "hide thread" and "ignore" functions at all..

If I don't want to read something, I don't read it.

If I don't want to respond to someone, I don't respond to them.

Why do so many people have so little self control?

18. Would anyone like to read 'It Can't Happen Here ' online?

19. I've read it, many years ago..

I've also read "The Handmaid's Tale" and "If This Goes On" both of which address the same issue.
