Where do u think u fit into the equation? What's your fringe group affiliation?

Actually, I think you've got things twisted. Many of your posts have just gone beyond, all of them are rude & condescending. Yes, mine can be that way as well sometimes, but you take the cake. Are you telling me that you ARE'NT talking about the eco-terrorists that we all know & love? You know, the ones setting pipe bombs? If you're not talking about those, then I suggest you rephrase your "eco-terrorist" post.

let me clear something up to all the liberals in here. a terrorist is someone who uses fear or terror methods to advance a political agenda. that's it. please watch the commercial below, and tell me what method is being used to further their political agenda.

get it now?


YouTube - "Tick" - Global Warming TV Ad - Environmental Defense

not agreeing with you is what makes them small minded right?

On the other side of the coin, the Republican Party has been ruled by a group of prehistoric-smallminded-gaybashing-hypocritical-psychotic-evangelical Christians for decades now. Instead of appealing to fiscally conservative, libertarian types like they used to, the Republicans sought out the stupidest Americans they could find and added them to the political process. Please understand that this particular group of people didn't vote in the past, and the country was much better off as a result of their absence from the political process. Once they were included and had representatives in the government, we had to start dealing with stupid people issues like school prayer and Roe v. Wade all over again. You know, the non-issue issues that come up every political cycle, which are used to divide the public and sway the votes of the stupid. Nixon never would have put up with their sh*t.

The religious right is worse. They rule this nation with imputiny. Every single social issue is dominated by them.
Eco terrorism? You must be joking if you are talking about 20 something college age kids who still have hope and idealism in their hearts.

Terrorist as a word does have some gray area. However, as you, I & the rest of the world now defines it, it would be someone or some group that uses violence to get their message across. Please, you're going around the fact that we all know this & THAT is how most of us define a terrorist, don't kid yourself.

Hee hee... No problem. I figured you would. I even thought of your reaction as I typed those words.

I enjoyed your story, though. You must felt incredibly strange driving that SUV. I definitely see some humor in it; it sounds like your parents did too.

Well see, it just goes to show that you need to get to know someone first before showing judgement, we're all guilty of it, hey? In this case, even though I don't know you from adam, if I saw you driving around in that beast, I would immediately pass judgment on you & from seeing your posts on this forum, obviously you're not who I think you would be based entirely on your car...or should I say tank?

Yeah, believe me, I was feeling that way even more when there was something on the TV about porn movies and she shrieked, "Porn! Oh my God! Is there anything worse than porn?!"

Not surprisingly, you see, she's also a strong feminist - the type who believes that women in porn are sad cases who are being exploited by all of those big, bad men.
