Yes I did and again you state nothing but post a veiled ad hominum "attack". Conversation is over, such as it was. You are not worth taking the time to deal with.

Didn't think so.... Christ, it's obvious.

You have a problem? You're gonna need to do a lot better.

What percentage of the things lazs says represents your thoughts?

80%?

60%?

40%?

Roughly.... How do you generally find yourself matching up with lazs views?

Does he speak for you, more or less? I speak for me.

If yes... in what ways?

If not, would I be out of line in asking why it is that you never tire in going after me, but have not a single lick of a thing to say about lazs?

You remind me of Toad. Once the world's apologist, and now the incredible shrinking man.

Time to get you on the record.

First of all - the question nearest and dearest to lazs' heart: Should women be able to vote?

of course

And....

Bush yeah or nay? I would have preferred a better choice but it was unavailable to me.
Iraq Yeah or nay? Iraq needed to be done. We were there anyway doing no fly stuff, and according to Unicef the sanctions killed millions.
Brownie doing a heck of a job or not? Not anymore... Relief efforts were bungled at the local and state level too but those officials still have their jobs.
Tax cuts working out? yes
Miers a bastion of scholarship? no data
DeLay not guilty? not guilty unless proven
Frist not guilty? not guilty unless proven
Rove not guilty? not guilty unless proven
Libby not guilty? not guilty unless proven
Intelligent design - your thoughts? it's bs
Schiavo - to pull or not to pull? pull

That'll do.

You're a smart man, and I'm in need of an education. Please, at least for me, be an example of an American.

I guess I hit a nerve.

edit> Sorry if attempting to correct a misperception is "going after you" You will note that my first post (and the following posts for that matter) was not a personal attack, it was my view (the correct view) that congress, not the president, is the power in the federal government of the USA according to the constitution.

Your post (to which I was responding) seemed to be incorrectly pointing out since the republicans have had the white house several times since FDR that they were in charge.

While they did win the white house several times in that period, they did not have the complete legislature until GB2. Demos had the senate and house from 1932 to 1952... from 1954 to Reagan. In Ike's and Reagan's terms, Demos lost the senate for a couple years, but not the house. Not until '94 was the house won by republicans. Then of course, no executive.... until 2001.

LOL... you have become your enemy.

Congrats.

nash... you loaded the questions... I rarely speak about those things that you asked holden but... judging by what he answered on em... we are more than 80% in agreement. on creativism... I don't care one way or the other.. never said that is how it is... just that it is every bit as possible as anything else... and how would that make living in my world so hard for you?

explain how my views would make things in the world so bad? I pretty much let people do whatever they want... you are the one making up all the rules...

The fair way would be to simply ask... what percentage of my views (on everything ever discussed here) do you agree with and what percentage of nash's opinions do you agree with.

You can look at it as a popularity contest or as a way of telling how Americans here feel compared to how you think they feel.

better yet....

How many people here think that I am dishonest and wishy washy and how many people think you are dishonest and wishy washy? That would play more to the political scene eh?

Holden answered the questions?

Look... This thread is retarded. I actually blame Nuke for it, but it's the same thing with you, lazs. You seem unable to respond to the content of anything I say. Every single time it's: "Poor Nash" and "you" "you" "you"... and the next thing ya know, it's like, all the thread is about.

Because I'm not going to just sit there and lump it.... so I end up doing the same - to you, to Holden, to Toad, to Maverick etc.... And look what happens? Just stupid.

I'm pretty sure it aint gonna change, but as far as this thread goes... it's played.

lazs2 · « **Reply #97 on:** October 16, 2005, 01:19:39 PM »

same old nash... attack and then retreat when you don't get your way.

holden answered your questions except for the percentage one... the questions were bogus anyway since I never really gave much in the way of opinions on the subjects you posed or... wasn't all that interested. Holden expressed mostly my views.

As for toad? I think you are angry at him because he negates your vauge and disjointed thinking by bringing in the real facts... this spoils your whole "feel" for the thing... Makes you mad and you either attack and retreat or simply retreat and try a different tact...

plus... it is so fun to watch you get all flustered. You act like no one has ever done it to you before....it's kinda cute and..... pathetic...

...and you want to dial it up?

No thanks. Sorry.

NUKE · « **Reply #99 on:** October 16, 2005, 03:42:16 PM »

Nash, your perspective on current world events amuses me. Do you ever take a few steps back and try to look at current events in a rational, historical perspective?

You seem to jump from headline to headline and disregard logic and reason.

Ah, I see now - they were within the quote itself. Thank you.

I'm wondering... I'll bet that there are more than a few Canadians that work for the media in this country.

Like it or not, vote or not, if they do, they have the power to shape opinion and affect the actions of actual voters.

But nevermind that...

The world is getting smaller every day. The policies of our government affect millions of people, and not just those within our borders. This just in.

I'm rather surprised that you guys are so threatened by the opinion of one mere Canadian. Take his opinions for what they are, a difference in perspective. Take what you can from his view and if they don't reconcile with your own, that's perfectly fine. Opinions should be tested.

lazs2 · « **Reply #103 on:** October 17, 2005, 08:38:16 AM »

threatened? hardly. We sometimes feel that we are being attacked by someone who has no idea about what is going on in this country but "threatened" is too strong a word.

My brother is a canadian... I don't claim that fact makes me an expert.... things can't possibly be as bad as he says I figure.

nope sandy.... I'm not really interested in your one world government theory... I'm the one who wants to boot the UN right?

probly 90% of the people in Amercia do not want the UN making laws in this country or leading American troops... I believe the last poll was in the nineties... Why didn't nash ask about that? How bout gun control? death penalty? lots of things I really do talk about... instead... he brings up things that I rarely touch on but that he thinks are world shattering... ends up...I pretty much agree with holdens answers on most of em.

I also agree with holden that his opinions are his. Mine are mine. We may agree to a point... I don't think either of us agrees much with nash tho.

Who said anything about the U.N.?

It's like this... I think that the average citizen of Canada (as well as many other countries) is probably better informed about the U.S., our policies, and our current events than we are of theirs. Our culture is a pervasive one. We touch everything on a global scale.
