I don’t support gun control, thanks very much. Why don’t you go find someone else to make up lies about?

[NittanyLion]

If he gets in, I’ll likely support him. However if Hunter suddenly charged into contention I’d likely vote for him instead.

[NittanyLion]

I don’t support gun control, thanks very much.

Oh, so you've changed your mind? Do you now favor allowing those with CCP's to carry on campus?

[Mr. Lucky]

Fred would be my preference. But I would vote for Mayor Guliani or Senator McCain or Governor Romney in a heart beat over Obama or what’s her name.

[ilovew]

I never said I was against people on campus with guns. I said I could think of some people on MY campus that I wouldn’t want to have guns. And then every person on the thread jumped down my throat and twisted my words.

[NittanyLion]

So do you favor allowing those with CCP’s to carry on campus?

[ilovew]

Traitor! You’re not really a conservative if you would ever vote for Rudy under any condition.

(Sorry, I was just seeing what it’s like to act like a whacko.)

[ilovew]

Uh...yes. I thought that was kind of obvious.

[NittanyLion]

Uh...yes. I thought that was kind of obvious.

Good!

Unfortunately, it wasn't the least bit obvious based on your words on that thread.

It is odd that this appears on a “Science Blog.” There is no science here. Perhaps the prestige of science is being “used” once again. Or perhaps this is political science, on a par with psychology and some other "sciences."

I’ve never seen, heard, or read Mr. Dobson. Yet, Ed Brayton tells me that I am a member of the Dobson wing of the Republican party. Another strike against Brayton.

I don’t see why men having anal sex with men should gain anyone’s approval. It doesn’t matter whether you believe in God or Darwin, it is a perversion of human nature.

[ilovew]

That’s because people decided they could determine for me what I really meant instead of listening to what I actually said.

[NittanyLion]

It’s too bad you didn’t just say you were in favor of allowing those with CCP’s to carry on campus. That’s - what - ten words, and would’ve halted the argument right there.

[ilovew]

Or people could have listened to me and stopped jumping to conclusions. But hey, why bother listening to what people actually say? You’re all-knowing, right? You can just decide for me what I really mean.

[NittanyLion]

Well, we can only interpret one's words. If those words are muddled or express contradictory thoughts, there's a better chance of misinterpretation. Seems to be what happened in your case.

Very unfortunate.

You saw who wrote this, RIGHT!??Yes, I saw who wrote this.

Is he in error? Is he drawing unsupported conclusions?

[SmoothTalker]

“If Rudy is pandering to the Religious Right, by calling for federally funded abortions, supporting Roe v. Wade, he is doing a pretty bad job of it.
“

Agree 100%. He’s pandering for leftwingers with those stances.

Can I have a legal domestic partnership with my dog? He doesn’t like being considered a dependent it’s discriminatory and it hurts his feelings. He does everything a dog is supposed to do or can do. He’s family but he has no legal rights at all. It isn’t fair, Rudy. You do support me don’t you? I don’t want to marry my dog and he doesn’t want to marry me either but we have rights too you know. Why should we be treated differently?
