why you'd vote Democrat

[Hermie]

TCups- I stated my reason for voting Democrat earlier in the thread. Please reread the post.

In regards to the 10 items I posted, they are likened to the reasons in the original post because they are asanine and idiodic. Only a complete idiot would think that allowing gay marriage would lead to marrying animals.

The 10 reasons I posted for banning gay marriage shows how stupid the reasons are for wanting to ban it.

About the other two things- The avatar is male. You can see the original image here: http://greykitty.deviantart.com/art/Peace-81632163
I commissioned it from that artist.

And second, Hermie was a nickname given to me in high school. There were three Michaels in my class, so we all went by our last names. A friend of mine took my last name, Herman, and came up with Hermie. I liked it better than Hermanator, which other students were content to call me.

Ya know Michael,

As I said before, I don't care what others do, as long as it does not affect me !

I don't think it's a normal lifestyle by any definition, and believe me I don't care what you cohabitate with !

But when you desire to call it Marriage, your just fooling yourself, and your kind will soon bread you genetic abnormality out of the genome now that your leaving hetero*_*_*_*_*_*ual females alone, as there is no longer a reason for you to hide behind a marriage with a women, and have children to prove to others that you are "normal". Those that are coming forward now to claim there place in the sun, will end their chain, when they stop producing offspring with these genetic defects.

So enjoy ! Be Fruitless and disappear !

[Hermie]

.. Since when does supporting civil rights automatically make you gay?

You prejudicial ignoramous. Maybe you aren't secure enough in your own *_*_*_*_*_*uality to be able to stand up for gay rights.



By the way, there's no such thing as "normal". "Normal" is an illusion.

[TCups]

Oops, Hermie, you are slipping.  Slouching mentally even further. from ad hominem attacks to personal insults.  You must be getting angry.  Such a shame.  But name calling is not tolerated.  Please be kind enough to couch you slurs and personal insults in a little more socially acceptable language, and maybe even try a bit of wit or humor if it is in your literary repertoire.  But thank you anyway for your kind comments and learned insights.  

Byt the way, Hermie.  While I have enjoyed our little debate, I tire of it now, and need something more intellectually challenging, I think.  Maybe a nice game of Tic Tac Toe.  And for my mental health, first,because you are 1) a prolific troll, and 2) not very gifted in crafting reasoned or persuasive arguments --, I am putting you on my "troll" list and checking the "ignore posts" button for your future posts.  I suspect we pretty much know where each other stands.  And please feel free to do the same for me, if you like.

In fact, let me just do that right now so that you may be sure that any further remarks or opinions you express will be solely for the benefit of yourself or perhaps others who may still be interested in what you have to say.  I suggest you think carefully and take three deep breaths before you respond.  As a matter of fact, I suggest you think carefully and take 3 Trillion slow deep breaths before you respond.  Good evening, sir.

[Hermie]

Actually, I've mapped out every possible move for Tic Tac Toe, and determined there are only two ways X can win, and both involve a double whammy.

But that's off topic..

Calling me gay for supporting gay rights is insulting. I admit I most likely overreacted. I have noticed that most Conservatives are this prejudicial, which is why I avoid voting Republican at all costs, among other reasons. The only thing we have in common is a love of machines that fire projectiles at a high rate of speed, but even there, I find most Conservatives to be extremists when it comes to the 2nd Amendment, which annoys me as well. I can't stand extremists from either side of the aisle.


And please, explain how I'm being a "troll" by simply bringing in alternative viewpoints and mirroring exactly what is being presented to my political party. By your standards, if this was a site with mostly Democratic users, most of you, most notably the creator of this thread, would be "trolls." Which brings me to my biggest point of why I vote Democrat- Most Republicans are hypocrites.

Hermie - 3/11/2009 7:17 PM .............................Which brings me to my biggest point of why I vote Democrat- Most Republicans are hypocrites.

As a former Republican (now Libertarian), I take exception to that. :-)

[Hermie]

Please note, I said "most," not "all." There are Republicans even I'd get along with. I just haven't met very many of them.

[Big_Bill]

Well Michael,

I'm secure enough with MY *_*_*_*_*_*uality to bother conversing with you ! Even though it does lower my self esteem.

And you do not say that you are not a homo*_*_*_*_*_*ual, you just stated that you do not have to be a homo*_*_*_*_*_*ual....

That is neither here nor there, you are what you are, and should never be ashamed.

Bill

[Hermie]

If you reread your post, you blatantly assumed I was gay. I responded accordingly. I am quite straight, and regularly enjoy my girlfriend's taco rosado.

[Jerrycup]

Hermie, I am a Republican, and your "respect" is of absolutely no consequence to me. I'd rather have my self-respect than the whole state of California. Democrats are on the whole, either low-lifes, or those who posture for the votes of low-lifes. If you respect Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama, then your respect is a condemnation in my book.

Your *_*_*_*_*_*ual preferences are about as interesting as the study of a cesspool. Who cares?

My ten reasons to vote Democrat were a joke, but I can't think of any real reasons.

PLONK.

[ShadowShot]

Don't Stop now, this was just starting to get good.

[Hermie]

Jerry: And all Republicans are gun-toting rednecks missing half their teeth and marry their cousins?

Stereotypes can go both ways. Remember this.

Democrats and Republicans are all individual people who share political views respective to their party, or at least in the same ballpark. I disagree with Democrats with some areas as well as agree with some Republican ideals. I just find the ideals and the execution of them contradictory. The biggest example being the "smaller government" mantra. If they truly believed in a small government, they would stop invading people's privacy and personal lives. Bush's "Patriot Act" is quite possibly the biggest insult to personal freedom I have ever seen, and 100% the opposite of "smaller government."

If Republicans ever want my vote, they need to stop being hypocrites. Until then, I'll vote for the Democrats, who laughably call themselves a "party" when they're more like a group of individuals with somewhat parallel views.

[Big_Bill]

WHAT ! NOTHING ON T.V. TONIGHT Michael ?

Did you have to come back to the adult forum, and see is you could tweak some real men ???

Did the fellows on the Gay Rights forum through you off ? Have they tired of you and your games ?

I'll tell you Michael, the Republicans wouldn't have you ! Don't want you, or you pathetic worthless vote !

You and Obama have a lot in common, WORDS, WORDS, WORDS. Where I come from we call it Bull S4it ! Only Liars, Cowards and Wussies !

You should read a book, maybe Dick and Jane to start, and advance yourself. Or maybe just read Jane and Jane !

I see that you decided not to help those AIDs' patients, or the poor , or anyone except yourself ! That's just what a good democrat is, one that professes high ideals, but wants others to pay the bills and do the work ! Yes Michael, your a GREAT democrat in the making !

Keep on Keepin on Mike !

Global warming??? ... Hell, where I live now was covered by about 100 feet of ice, 10,000 years ago. I just looked, - it's all gone, and has been for a LOOONG, LOOONG  time. Now THAT'S global warming, - and driving 3 cylinder golf carts didn't do it.
.
I'd really laugh my ass off if we discovered that burning fossil fuels is what makes the planet habitable, - and without it we'd decend into another "Ice Age" ... Then, we'd have to set up "government controlled/sponsored" coal fired plants all over the place just for the exhaust!!! ;)

hodgjy - 3/6/2009  5:23 PM   This is total crap. I'm a climate scientist by day, airgunner by weekend, and this statement just shows how uninformed you (and others) are on the subject.  Raining on Friday is WEATHER, and change 10 years from now is CLIMATE.  There is a big difference between the two.  Strangely enough, we are much better at predicting the climate than we are with the weather.  It seems illogical that we can't predict what will happen 5 days from now, but we can 10 years from now.  But this is based on the difference between weather and climate.  Climate is basically the 30-year running average of the sum of all weather within that 30-year window.  So, if we've been warming for 30 years straight, there's a damn good chance we'll be warming again next year.  And the next.  And the next.  We can make good predictions with a low probability of error based on long-term trends.  But, because it rains Tuesday through Thursday, there's absolutely no reason to say one way or another if it will rain on Friday.  And the main problem with greenhouse gases is not the cars.  That's right, it's not the cars.  It's coal-powered electricity.  Until we get the USA, India, and China off of coal, no number of Pruises on the road will change anything.

I'm sorry, but Mr. Climate Scientist, "THIS is total crap." You DO know that they just discovered a fossil snake in South America that could not have lived unless the average annual temperature was five or six degrees warmer then than it is now, right? You DO know that these things run in huge cycles of thousands of years and that 30 years is like the blink of an eye when it comes to climate THEORY, right?

Maybe you really aren't such a scientist at all? I am so damn sick of hearing these "green freaks" talk this stupid garbage about how our "carbon footprint" is going to end life as we know it. This is like the Al Gore presentation. He has this graph. On his graph the first nine feet are 300 million years, but the last foot is 500 years? What the hell is that about? Any seventh grader can tell you that you are not allowed to change the scale of a graph but Al did. What does that tell you about Al? It tells me that the man is a liar. Simple enough really. Al Gore invented the Internet and then he invented "carbon credits". Glen Beck, and others, say something that is profoundly lucid with respect to all of this crap, "If you are worried about being warm, having hot water, having enough to eat, things like that, you are not going to do a damn thing about your 'carbon footprint' because you are not interested in other peoples problems." You want to fix the "carbon footprint" of this planet, go fix the poor. That means you will only have to bring two thirds of the planets population into the first world. Have at it.

This GREEN CRAP is a ruse. It takes ONE major volcanic eruption to give us a "year with out a summer". This problem is HUGE, ENORMOUS, any damned fool that thinks he can get his head around ALL of it is an arrogant egotist and not a scientist.
