As socialism means there is no freedom of speech, I cannot say anything but what the Party has approved. Freedom is only a chimaera. True liberty lies in not having to make choices because the available option is the best possible! So called democracy is the worst oppression the human species has ever been subject to! Umm… I’m sure there’s more, but I must go have open heart surgery now – it has so been scheduled.

Minerva, I really don’t understand what you’re getting at. Yes, there is a system for making amendments, but the bill of rights is non-negotiable. There are clear and decisive limits to what the government is supposed to be allowed to do. For 200+ years we’ve had the most liberty of anyone on the planet for this reason. 200+ years to build and only a couple decades to tear the entire foundation down – that is nothing to be proud of. Destroying this great experiment in SELF-government and liberty is cause for great shame, and I am ashamed that we have allowed our children to be raised without the knowledge of this greatness anymore.

It’s disgusting, and yes, I am very angry about it. Most sane people are. The War on Poverty (the longest running and most expernsive war ever fought – and to no avail), The War on Drugs, federal spending and control over schooling and education, these are all things that are in direct violation of the constitution and are being done illegally. Yet people just accept it and demand more of it. It’s insanity.

You’re good people, and everyone (sane)

but your reputation on PK is well established,
so she is simply making a fool of herself…

It’s cool, I’m not trying to say everybody shouldn’t give her what she deserves. I just told her I wouldn’t give her the satisfaction of rising to her bait. She obviously can’t handle that approach, so she’s targeting me, trying to undermine my credibility. I’m taking the high road to diffuse her bluster. it only makes her look like the stooge, and damages her own, already questionable to say the least, credibility.

I think she would act human if she could
right now, but this format isn’t doing her any
good, either. What she needs isn’t here.

Like you (assuming), I intend to stand my
ground and not give the crazy b!tch an inch.
She has had her chance to interact with
everyone in a fair and open way. Unfortu-
nately, she has chosen another route, so
she will get back everything she gives,
with interest.

I’m well aware of that. I also don’t feel like the punching bag she thinks I am. i kinda feel sorry for her. Must be lonely living that abrasively. I’m also aware that my responses just emphasize her lack of credibility, which is my goal, seeing as we can’t get her to act human.

Your assessment of others is not in touch with reality.

Seek professional help.

“Maybe tomorrow you can just be a person.”

Does that make sense to you? Here’s a hint: It doesn’t make
sense to any of the sane people on PK. Minerva is a human
being. She is not just a blip on your monitor. You control
nothing. Give it up, and, seriously, get some help.

Minerva, we’re not dealing with a sane person here.
She has issues galore, and no plan to resolve any
of them. Your comment about socks got to her, and
she outed herself by answering defensively, so now
she blames you. The most amazing thing about it
is that you didn’t even intend it to be a trap.

This person can’t see past her own crazy, and is
trying to justify herself in some strange way. You
and I have dealt with these before. Eventually she
will go away, once she decides for herself that we
aren’t worthy of her time.

Who’s embarrassed. I gave you a legitimate opportunity to give a position on why you behave this way in spite of your alleged love of the constitution, which is, in fact, a system for compromise. You are all bluster and no argument as far as I can see. There are a lot of people here who are as knowledgeable about and love the constitution as much as you claim to. Again, I think you are incapable of a reasoned discussion that doesn’t degrade into juvenile name calling.

By: minerva146

minerva146 — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 15:30:31 +0000

I don’t feel the need to justify this particuar remark, as I believe there’s no need. I didn’t do anything wrong. Since you continue to feel personally affronted by it, here’s the thing about the socks remark. It was said in a light, joking manner, and was not even directly addressed to ANYONE in particular. YOU are the one who got defensive. Several people here have been proven to be socks, so it was a legitimate jibe, if a lighthearted one. I still realize this is also al LOL site, get it? I don;t need to make excuses, it’s just the way it is, though i know already you’ll have a temper tantrum about it. Any time I have directly addressed you, I have tried to have a decent conversation, although that has clearly been only one-sided. You immediately throw up the persecution armor and start name-calling. How is one supposed to deal with you at that point? As to false tears, I have none, false or otherwise. I also don’t claim to be righteous. Again you project words onto me. I have been straightforward, that is all. Sorry you can’t handle that someone might actually be what they seem. I have no need for dishonest ploys to appear different than I am.

Anniee, if you had one lick of common sense (which you have proven you don’t) you would realize that good legislation concerning complicated issues is not written in an afternoon. Not every bill draft becomes a bill, let alone a law. Just because drafts of bills exist is not proof that anything will come of them. In order to act quickly in an economic emergency, preparations are made in advance.

So now you know.

“…either the hostile take over, nor the ‘dragging people into court over “patent violations” until they go bust when they won’t sell out to you’ approach of business…”
Missed that bit…

Uncle Fester — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 14:40:21 +0000

Contract and Tort do not actually affect the ideas of either the hostile take over. You’re espousing a consumer driven market, when much of the time, there is no ‘consumer’ in the traditional sense, just one company predating another… , while making ‘product’ noises to keep their vendor channels open. In the end, you wind up with the type of monopoly AT&T became, and there’s not a thing in what you’ve said that would force them to split, other than Government more or less threatening to take them over and take them apart themselves (which is the back room stuff that went on with AT&T)… In lower tech markets, say tobacco, you have underhand cartel dealing and the ‘market’ carved up between them so they all turn a profit…
I really don’t see how one is going to protect the ‘people’ from either rapid and violent ‘market adjustment’ nor the occasional heavy handed approach to from government to break up what the venal SOBs are doing this time…

“Apparently you missed the part about the constitution being about compromise.”

No, I saw that; it wasn’t worth discussion. I didn’t want you to be that embarrassed.

By: Anniee451

Anniee451 — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 07:21:23 +0000

Good. So why did you feel the need to make that stupid disparaging comment when in fact you WERE dead wrong? Why did you make the false claim that I cite opinion blogs to back such things up when in fact they actually happened and were common knowledge? Why, even now, can you not admit that you were actually wrong, and rho was actually wrong, and oops, I didn’t know that, but I guess you were right and weren’t even citing controversial sources for it? Get serious.

This is about as believable as you weeping last night about offering an olive branch and just begging us to join in civilized discussion when in fact what you HAD done was call us socks instead? Get REAL Minerva.

You’re coming off worse than Fister with this nonsense. False tears and false righteousness are worse than direct insults FFS.

By: minerva146

minerva146 — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 07:14:08 +0000

Apparently you missed the part about the constitution being about compromise. Why does there have to be “sides”. This isn’t a war, it’s a discussion. I am quite confident nothing you say makes me feel anywhere near stupid. I’m comfortable with my intelligence and and philosophies. No need to feel stupid or uncomfortable about any of it.

By: Anniee451

Anniee451 — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 07:10:33 +0000

Oh…and the day you don’t pick the safe side and the mob (led by Fister) starts spewing invective at you? Is the day you become defensive. Hell, you’re defensive against ME and I’m supposedly some moron who doesn’t believe credible sources and has no humanity to speak of.

Come talk to me when you think something different or original and don’t join in the crucifixions.

By: Anniee451

Anniee451 — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 07:08:27 +0000

You chose a side, you chose a side with your sock comment and you chose one when you claimed I didn’t believe Rho merely because I only believe disreputable sources, which is utter nonsense. Stop jumping into those ridiculous pile-ons (on the safe side, naturally) and you won’t be made to feel so stupid.

By: minerva146

minerva146 — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 06:58:43 +0000

Read the comments. I wasn’t even reading the thread, let alone commenting on it. I didn’t SAY I didn’t accept your sources. I only said I didn’t want to comment, because I try to, in fact, not make up things when I do comment. I’ve been rather preoccupied with a relative in the hospital and financial woes recently, pardon me for not gluing myself to a television. Not that I owe you any explanation for why I haven’t seen this story. I was perfectly willing to admit I didn’t know enough to comment on this issue, therefore REFRAINING TO DO SO. Nor do I claim to be an absolute authority like you do. I didn’t fail to comprehend anything. I have enough confidence in my intelligence to not insecurely fling around my qualifications, like you seem to feel a need to do. Yet I still am more respected here than you. Why do you suppose that is? Nevermind, I know your answer; it’s the only one you have for anything.

The only time I mentioned sock was when it was clear there were some. “so” has been seen with several avatars in one day, for example. Just because you say you don’t use socks, doesn’t mean others don’t. It’s been done before, and will again. Possibly even by you. I don’t get why you’re so indignant about it, unless it hits close to home.

Sorry, I won’t rise to your bait and lower myself to your level of immature taunting etc. I’ve tried to be nice to you, you’ll have none of it. I still won’t fling poo.

By: Anniee451

Anniee451 — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 06:46:03 +0000

What are you even talking about? I wasn’t even referring to this particular topic, as I’m comfortable admitting I haven’t read up on it. My only remark on this thread other than about donuts, referred only to your dismissal of any newspaper source in favor of opinion blogs instead. I couldn’t care less about Pelosi. I’m not er biggest fan. Contrary to what you believe, I have a brain of my own, which i use for independent thought. I haven’t ever been one to toe the party line. I’m an election worker because I believe in our process for democracy. Sheesh. Quit judging people based on cursory assumptions. Why are you still flinging poo at me, when I’ve primarily tried to be nice to you and have been fundamentally absent from this entire thread?
