I-Max theatres refuse to mention anything contradictory to Creationism

We stopped "checking polls" when Clinton left office. We have a leader now, get used to it. He has been around for four years.

I think this post was fanning flames of hatred, and thus wrong. It's not wrong factually, but it's saying haha we won, suck it. All that does is promote sensless attacks on both sides.

A lot of crying from the liberals today.

Tit for tat IMO. Theaters were allowed to present a totally fictional presentation of Michael Moore's 9/11 movie week before a national election. With the express intent upon affecting the outcome of the election. I did not like their decision to run the propaganda. But did it matter?

NOOOOO.......

Clam up about this, consider it "your medicine". Mr. Sick....

:cold:

You're lumping everyone who disagrees with you together as a liberal. Why? You're really referring to two people here, so just use thier names instead of throwing around labels.

The point of tarhog's post as I see it is to remember that the people who you are debating are actually people. Not labels. Your style is just inflammatory.

What makes it really bad though, is that you have a tendency of doing this. You consider arguments as coming from the liberal machine insteas of individuals. Remember the arguments we had a week or two ago, and you said that I was trying to institute a form of socialism because I though bush was borrowing too much and spending too much?

I think that happened becasue you just lumped me in with the rest of your "liberal" problem, instead of listening.

You know, I looked at those two posts and yes the post about Micael Moore was pointed. But do you see the point? The thread starter was making a point that "Only in the South" would a movie about evolution not be shown. In effect the poster was saying the religious conservatives are against any "science" that flys in the face of the theory of creationism.

My point was to show others how crazy it was to complain about some theater group choosing not to show a movie. When just months ago other movie outlets chose to show a very critical, and unsubstantiated political piece, weeks before the election.

Frankly, I was furious when 9/11 came out when it did. And in comparison the topic as well as the timing made it very controversial. Here we have a group of movie theaters choosing to not show a movie. And someone is complaining about how Southerners are against science. Sorry but that is not only an ignorant conclusion, but it was the reason for the nature of my post. I stand by that post 100%

The other psot you pointed out is right on target, IMO. Jow was suggesting that our leaders take a look at a poll to decide how to act in this matter. I found that extremely ironic because that is how Clinton RAN the White House. I am proud that our leader today leads with conviction. You may disagree with that conviction, but nevertheless, he does not lead by polls. I stand by that post 100%.

Now to your point about our last meeting. I have to say I do not remember debating you. But sometimes you are right. I do have a tendancy to generalize someone based on political persuasion. But that happens only in a small number of people on this site. Very small. In fact, I do not know where you stand on political issues. That should say something. Don't you think?

I do appreciate your response back to me.

Portis,

the fact that you don't remember me is I think part of the problem, we've had several heated debates over many issues, and I feel like you lumped me in with the liberal machine, and thus you don't remember me. IF you go back over the threads where you have heated arguments with cho, you'll probably see us going back and forth a little too.

I think I misinterpreted your point about clinton, and bush not caring about polls, etc. You actually have a good point there, that bush is leading based on his convictions about what is right, but somehow, the way that post sounded to me was "haha we won, go sit down, nobody cares what you think." I apologize for misreading it, but if you develop a less confrontational tone, you might find that people can actually listen to your points instead of firing back with - Conservatives eat babies!

AS to the origional point, this is something that could only happen in red america. Red america is having a problem with science right now for whatever reason, and science to be fair has a problem with red america.

I agree it is crazy to complain about what a movie theater decides to show, but to me it's valid to point out that this is indicative of a serious problem.

I am not saying we have not debated. But I know of few people who I have debated on this site, where if I find out I was wrong that I do not admit it. I think everyone on this site has made mistakes in the past like what you are suggesting.

IMO, I stand on firm ground in this thread.

So far as Chrome? Well I generally ignor that poster. Chrome has a special way of getting under my skin. Maybe my reaction to that is what gets me in trouble. Even then I do not "go after" him/her. I try my best to stay respectful.

And the fact that I do not remember you specifically in a debate is probably a good thing. I certainly do not remember anything negative.

I saw this at the bottom of the page in the current thread with creationism in the title. Often fun to go back 7 years and see who said what (and see some whose ways have led them to the ranks of the departed).

Not much difference between now and then.
Piss and moan, attack attack!

Liar.

You just get a kick out of how many people don't notice how old the thread is.

Do we have a procedure for handling situations where the South is refusing to do the right thing?

My daughter wrote a book yesterday about the "grl and the volkaynow" The grl waz not alawd to go awt sayd.... but she did go awt sayd, saw the volkaynow, it started erupting, and the grl got rile scurd. She drew pictures too. The book is awesome and the creative spelling stage is super cute. They taught them to figure out the letters by "speaking whale" at school. We will probably self-publish.
