Heh, had to look that one up; time to send a PM to DED lol

And the same thing would happen here if there is enough push for a CC, Congress might pass a Repeal Amendment. Originally Posted by pjorourke

You dont call a CC for Healthcare. You call a CC to implement:
a) Term limits
b) Spending Limits
c) A Repeal Amendment

If c) passes, the states can shoot down bullshit like the Heath Care Fuck Up Bill (Henceforth referred to as the HCFUB) or similar over-reaches.

Tell your boyfriend Dumber Em Down to send me a list of what is objectionable, as requested...

oh yeah...clean up your PM's WTF, so I can send you one

Probably a good thing it did; somehow I doubt the US would have remained a country without it. Originally Posted by discreetgent

TMI! Would you keep that info to yourself.

Oh my, how the past has a funny way of repeating itself! Originally Posted by WTF

Well that is pretty damn wishy washy....given that it is a private board, anybody can be banned for anything. Originally Posted by WTF

We weren't going to rehash the entirely of your banning, remember? Given that parameter, the little I said would sound that way to many...certainly to you.

Oh and btw...nobody was banned or pointed for using the n word. Nobody has banned us from talking about it. Originally Posted by WTF

I never said they were...you were the one who brought up banning...namely, your own. I merely that if anyone was going to be pointed...for using the word or objecting to the moderator intervention, then I'd like to be pointed as well!

But what you are arguing now is that there is no specific rule, much like there were no specific rule I broke. Yet you vehemently argue one while Ho Humming the other. That was my point. Well within your rights to prioritize I might add but no need to try and blow smoke up my ass as to the past vs the present. I was merely pointing out this effort seems so much more vocal than the last. Originally Posted by WTF

I was arguing that the rule referenced was not broken. I further pointed out that that were was no rule that said the word - or any word - may not be spoken...not no way...not know how.

The only person who brought up you...LMAO...was you!!!

It's okay...it's what you do best!

You have choosen to ignore that fact.

It is a general rule....you seem to be lawyering up and wanting specifics. Use the Gawd Damn word if you want points so bad, then argue with the power that be about your rights. Don't stop charging windmills now, not if you really believe that it is a giant.


I will ignore the rest of your revisionist history, the one that I had a front seat to and you were in the peanut gallery.

I had two issues...one's been addressed. Doubt the other ever will so que sera sera. DeD & I spoke...had a nice exchange. We're cool! You & I...are as cool as we're ever gonna get. Nice to see we still misunderstand each other as well as we ever did! I suppose there's some comfort in the certainly.

I said my piece on the issue. I'm done. Not knowing when enough is enough...tilting at windmills...that's your speciality. But then, you're very good at it so why would you stop?

Just point the lance at the right windmill. That thing could hurt somebody!

When you say you've said your piece on an issue and then proceed to say more on a parallel issue....you tilt away from a astute debater into sounding more like a jilted lover. I expect more from you Sisyphus.

Watching you children "debating" makes the thread title, "Dumbing Down of America or showing sensitivity," so apt...
