Ok, they're stupid, you're brilliant. You've demonstrated that.

And posts like that are demonstrating what?

"for weeks, you tried to win this argument by parsing words - "own", "operate", "lease" - it's not working."

I did?

[TheForceOfOne]

Too late, the boss preformed an exorcism on Bayourant. lol

[eeevil conservative]

VERY WELL SAID!

I've been popping you in the nose, tough guy - or is it tough girl

Yeah, sometimes you have to stand your ground and take your licks when you are right. Even when the crowd betrays that principle.

why couldn't the same "lying media" stop Alito? why do most americans approve of the intelligence wiretaps of foreign phone calls to/from AQ suspects, despite months of "warrantless/illegal domestic wiretaps" stories from the same media?

Here's what you are not getting ... WE HAVE THE SAME INFORMATION YOU HAVE ... and we come to a different conclusion. It doesn't make you better informed or smarter. If you persist in that kind of argument, it makes you arrogant and an elitist.

We got a live one here! IATZ

Take that! You can't come here and bash the Great One! Here comes some pain!

I was using multiple words to fit the acronym..but would never come up with THAT ...

Yeah, well, so goes the battle. Check out the sentence, I said "YMMV" then gave my personal approach to dealing with internet "persons." Mark clearly has a different style from mine, and I don't want to criticize on style alone. So, "YMMV"!

I think it's a VERY old acronym, as gos the USENET/Internet archeaology.

You and I rarely agree, but on this one we're on the same page regarding your (1) and (2).

I don't know anything about the general.

Is this the Mark Levine we are talking about? Seems like a nice guy. http://www.marklevine.com/

Is it wrong to call a general a dirtbag?? Was General Benedict Arnold a dirtbag???

[muawiyah]

Carter is taking a bad rap on this one. As a former Navy man he undoubtedly understood the terminology exactly and knew that it was a chump change deal to pick up a handful of gantry cranes.

Beyond this narrow use of what is termed "crystalized memory", Carter's command of "current" mental function is questionable (and that's obvious to everyone).

I think 45 days of honest evaluation would have helped turn it around

not you personally, the "you" applies collectively to most of the pro-ports freepers.

"WE HAVE THE SAME INFORMATION YOU HAVE "

Do you have the same information as Gen's Pace, Abazaid and Franks?

[sofaman]

You most certainly DID state catagorically that Mark called the general, a dirtbag. You have made the accusation previously. I suggest that you back that up and pull the quote, IN CONTEXT.

You have played the race card consistently throught this debate. And I, for one, resent it. You should be ashamed of yourself, but I highly doubt that you are.

[Howlin]

Thanks. Interesting.

[holdonnow]

Ok, let me try it one more time ... no general was called a dirtbag. The only one to use that name was the person who started this thread. Amazing, though, how some WANT to believe it. He lied here, and he lied "contemporaneously." Until next time.

[Rokke]

"not you personally, the "you" applies collectively to most of the pro-ports freepers."

Thank you for clearing that up.
