New What are you talking about?
Beep said that the viewers were all unpatriotic WHERE? He would have us believe that WHERE? He thought it was more appropriate to Memorial Day. He didn't like (IMO) what he saw as crass commercialization of the deaths of US soldiers (showing a one-time - for ABC - event during sweeps). Because he was suspicious of the timing, that must mean he is for NOT airing the names (like Sinclair) - but wait! He wasn't! How do you explain that? Or should you just ignore it? Why not? It works for Bush supporters...

Rationalize away. You'll come up with something, I'm sure. Just like Dubya.

  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New Its ok...I'm starting to get used to it.
Funny though, as it is usually me that has been accused of inventing people's opinions. Even though I'm pretty sure I've been fairly clear here.

New Nah. Not really OK...
It's the reason I usually stay away from political or religious 'discussion' here. I grew weary of it from Brandioch's long past attempt to characterize my religious beliefs. Sometimes, reading, I just get fed up with (what seems to me to be) deliberate misrepresentation of another's posts to 'win' an argument. That's not what I believe discussion is for.

Unless you are a lawyer or politician, of course.
