re: #119 pink freud

heading over to your blog …is it there?

of course I’m interested!

nope….. here ya go (names edited to protect teh st00pid:

You would think a military guy (from what I understand, you guys have self-discipline) would be able to rein yourself within the parameters of an intellectual debate-which is what you indicated you wanted to engage. You displayed you could not and I called you on it. Your argument didn’t need the name-calling. You were doing quite well until you regressed. Now, you can play the victim: “Oh, Student 2’s trying to restrain my free speech”. Or you can recognize that you crossed a line. Frankly, I think playing the victim is more self-satisfying for you. Barack Obama is beloved by many people in this country for all the potential possibilities he represents for the future. You are right in that there is a cult-like adoration for him. And we (the many who are hopeful of those possibilities) may all be disappointed in the eventual outcome. I know you were using a spoonerism to equate President Obama with Kim Jun Ill as many of his ideas are socialistic—it’s not clever, it’s not even remotely funny. Directly above, I think your words are patronizing to Student 1 and I really don’t think you respect your fellow students, myself included. I also don’t think you’re genuinely interested in learning (as you indicated above) in an exchange of ideas about issues facing our country. You seem more interested in a verbal King-of-the-Hill where you obliterate all voices of dissent until only yours remain. Well, I’m done..you can be king of your lonely hill. All Hail King red.
