Remember That Time

Thank God/Allah/Vishnu/Robot Nixon eight people are now finally able to reach out and really change each others' minds and challenge their perspectives and critical thinking skills regarding politics.

If anyone needs me I'll be graffiti-ing genitals on children's books until the Tulsa game starts.

Maybe THIS will help cheer you up. I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I saw this during McCain's speech.

to be fair - if Mark Cuban and Rick Carlisle worked together on that sign, it is actually genius.

After quickly skimming your post I've ascertained two things about you. You're very Pro-Pit Bull and a very very staunch McCain supporter. Did you miss the other threads in this section pertaining to these topics? No need to muck the place up with superfluous topics.

I saw that "Mavrick" sign during the sppech last evening and just had to laugh. Was pretty funny. Also enjoyed the "protesters" and McCain's respone to them.

'Tis the funny season after all.

It actually looks like it's in Dallas Maverick's blue. Hmmmmm.

I'm all for level headed political discussion...however, 99.99999% of Americans (including myself, on occasion) are incapable of such. Most are incapable of carrying a conversation about politics without taking it personally or trying like hell to make someone else look stupid.

That said, from here on in, I'm just going to shut down/delete anything where left-wing/right-wing/chicken-wing blogs are the sole source of information a poster can muster. In fact, I don't want to see any spin. So, if you're going to try to back up your arguments...they now must be backed up by unbiased, non-American news source such as The Guardian. Otherwise, none of us want to hear it.

And, I know at least a few of you just had the little idea pop into your head to just try to keep me busy by posting crap...in that case, I'll just start handing out post moderations and unfortunate vacations at will with no notice.

Well, for starters, his name is spelled Chone.

So, how 'bout we set up a sub-forum for the 8 of us who like to beat on each other with politics, and those of you who don't want to go in there can... you know... not go in there.

...I mean, if you don't like the thread, then don't read it.

Yesterday, I went to quoner's house and put a gun to his head. I forced him to read this forum's political threads. ...of course, he overpowered me and held a gun to MY head and made me read TYSports, so it didn't work out so hot.

[untbowler]

I guess I am missing the part where someone is holding a gun forcing people to read the threads?

I know JayDub and Cerebrus need to make sure we are all playing nice but nobody is forced to read anything on this forum we are all free to choose to post or read this forum and this site.

Just my 2 cents.

[Quoner]

Too many gun analogies....stranger danger, stranger danger!

I tried to be diplomatic about it, but someone just haaaaad to taunt Happy Fun Moderator. OK, fine...let's just do it this way instead. I'm a pretty progressive mod, so I won't discontinue all political discussion forever. However, I am suspending all political discussion for one week starting now. Allow me to put it in big letters so all can see...

NO POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS ON GOMEANGREEN.COM UNTIL FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12th, 2008 AT 1700 ZULU TIME.

Anyone posting ANYTHING regarding the election or anything else political (unless it is some kind of bond election or something for a new stadium...) will find themselves unable to contribute anything to GoMeanGreen.com for until the moratorium on political discussions is over.

All political threads are now closed.
