Your points are correct. So-called political correctness is sick garbage and should be thrown out like the garbage that it is.

Well, it's pretty evident a LOT of "people" have decided I'm just PMSing and not worth bothering with. :-)

"You keep wanting to discredit Miers for not being like Roberts"

Again, you haven't shown that.

Because I didn't do it.

I stated what I wanted her judicial philosophy to be like. I used what roberts said as an example...not to 'discredit' her.

If I'm drafting for an NBA team, and a reporter asks me what kind of player I'm looking for, if I say "I want someone like michael jordan", am I discrediting the potential picks for not being like jordan?

No, I stating what I'm looking for. Pure and simple.

You want to twist that... how, I don't know, because it's as plain as day...all so you can label me as a 'troll'.

That's about as transparent as you can get.

Well, it allows less qualified (ie. smaller, presumably weaker)applicants to become firefighters. And its done expressly to allow women to get the job.

I guess you can argue some technicality that it isn't "affimrative action", but its just as bad (or maybe worse) to me.

"You're against equal rights?"

If you have to change the standards so that a specific group can compete, that's "equal rights" to you?

Are you seriously in favor of that?

You know you're wasting your time, Flash. When these people run into trouble in an argument it seems its a popular tactic to misquote their adversary. I think its just intended as busy work, so that you'll feel compelled to go back and set the record straight.

"ROFLMAO......your OWN post proved you lied about what I said"

Actually, it looks like they prove he was correct and you lied. Doesn't it?

Yep, I know it's wasting my time, except for the fact that by giving Howlin enough rope, it's now plain for everyone to see exactly how she operates.

Falsely accuse me of lying, and then repeatedly fails to answer direct questions on it. Insinuates that I'm on drugs or drunk. Makes oblique references to me being gay (The anderson cooper comment). Lord knows what else.

And then, after doing all that, she plays the victim. Poor, maligned howlin. She just wants to have an honest discussion and everyone attacks her.

So in that respect, it has been useful. No one should take her bullying or junior high debate club tactics seriously. What she really is has been outed for the world to see.

"I absolutely think Jim Robinson ought to do whatever he deems appropriate to point out this kind of TROLL behavior. It should not be accepted here at FR. THAT's why I ping him from time to time. To his credit, he listens."

Which translates to:

"Anyone who disagress w/ me is a troll, and I'm gonna tell teacher."

Grow up.

I might not phrase it the same way, but you have a great point.

I appreciate that. But I do regret using rather strong language.

When it comes to those put in charge of the safety of others, I can not stand political correctness. PC is a proven killer. Those that can't see this or disagree are just part of the PC problem. A deadly serious problem that continues to eat away at this country.

That's ridicules and just your opinion. Isn't this place about everyone's opinions? I have read flashbunny's responses to lots of posts and articles. I think she has put forth some excellent points on some issues. Just because you disagree is no reason to suggest what you are suggesting.

Just my opinion. Hope that doesn't make me a troll or mole or whatever.

You did what you did and I had to show you what you did because you wouldn't acknowledge it yourself.

And if you go back you'll see who began with the disparagement.

My opinion of you hasn't changed.

Get over your 4th grade intellect and you're translation will improve. Nothing to translate anyway.

If that were true the zot wouldn't exist.

So in other words, your opinion is OK and cool, but if someone disagrees with you, you want them to be zotted?

Thanks for clearing that up. That makes perfect sense.
