I would love to see him get his butt kicked.
why? party allegiance?
I just don't like him and I don't like the way he's responded to this challenge.
Do you know anything about him other than his support for the Iraq war?
I am willing to bet you supported him when he ran for VP.

You would be wrong. I voted Green in that election.
You voted for Kermit?

It isn't easy being green!

what don't you like about his positions? which do you like, which do you dislike?
are you really upset about the way politicians play the game of politics?
Is there some reason you are jumping all over a fairly innocuous statement?
is there some reason you are getting defensive at simple questions?
I'm not defensive at all. I just don't like the guy. And that seems to cause you some sort of distress. You seem to think you are onto some awesome insight because I don't like him. I never understood why he was chosen as a running mate a few years ago and I think he's behaving pretty poorly now. My opinion, plain and simple.
i simply asked you to say why your opinion is what it is. when did you become a mind reader to know why i ask what i ask?

No it's not! Just ask Al Gore!
Gore isn't quite as green as he's led the world to believe
As if 8 years of Clinton/Gore doing nothing but watching carbon emissions increase in the U.S. wasn't enough evidence of his hypocrisy. Oh yeah, didn't he vote to break a tie to "temporarily" (cough, cough) increase our gasoline tax?

Why do you routinely ignore questions asking you to explain your positions? I have not been rude to you, I am not talking down to you or making fun of you in any way, yet you ignored my question in the other thread regarding geunine respect and you ignored my question here regarding your opposition to Lieberman.

I hear that even the Republicans in the state are heavily anti-war, so if that's the case Lieberman doesn't stand a chance.
Yes, and I hear that neither of them will vote for Lieberman under any circumstances.

Why do you want to know? You've made it pretty clear that you don't like me, so why is my opinion on anything of interest to you?
i want to know because you didn't give any reasons. i want to give you a chance to redeem yourself. i think you would want people to think your opinions have more of a basis than a coin toss. and you throw your opinion around all the time here so i want to be able to judge what merit i should give to your posts. i explain my opinions.
why do you think i don't like you? i have never insulted you here.

I felt you were rude in the other thread that's why I ignored it. In here I don't feel it's relevant. Is that OK?
And if I say no? 
Have you noticed you find a lot of people rude?
You make a statement like I want to see his butt kicked but no one should ask why? Not relevant? Very strange.
Why do you want to share opinions here, but not want to discuss those opinions? Isn't that why we are here?

Oh, please. Don't do me any favors. I don't need you to offer me redemption. That's just a back-handed slap in the face dressed up as concern. Just ignore my opinion if you can't decide how to weigh it.
You knoe, an easier way for your opinion to be ignored is to not offer it. You are reading way too much into things here. I know you have been heavily attacked in other threads, but no one is attacking you here. Just trying to engage in conversation, which you obviously don't want to do.

Well, with thta premise, your original opinion regarding Lieberman is irrelevant too, no?
Quote:
If you honestly don't think you were rude in that other thread then what do you call these gems?
Quote:
What does this entail? Should all people in "muslim" lands, which according to the extremists runs from Iberia to India, be converted to Islam and the governments hand over control to a new Caliphate?
Would that be "sincere" respect or do you think something short of that will suffice?
Should Israel ask Hezbollah pretty please not to cross its border and kill/kidnap its soldiers? Or would that be disrepectful?
Quote:
Then please lets delve into these deeper issues. Perhaps if we examine them, we could enlighten my opinion.
Do those really sound like polite requests to you?
Sarcasm - making of agreeably worded but harshly intended remarks
Rude - offensive in manner.
There is a difference between sarcasm and rudeness. The latter is offensive in and of itself. The former is harsh, not necessarily offensive. It is a sophisticated concept that many misundertand. But I don't think we need yet another thread to devolve into a discussion about how you took offense to someone's comments.
As I said earlier, you wish to post your opinions here, but do not wish to discuss those opinions. I understand that now and will not attempt to engage you in discussions in the future. No problem.

"It's not relevant because I don't vote in Connecticut. Want to know about the Ohio elections I'm concerned about?"
If it isn't relevant, why comment in the first place, then refuse to answer politely asked questions about your statement?
