Mama Moonbat quits anti-war movement

[Perndog]

Being a face on television rather than a real live person in our individual experience goes most of the way to putting her beyond compassion for a lot of us. This is the way people tend to process things. It only matters when it's close to home. You should know that by now, Mr. 45-years-old, "My political and social arguments have weight because of my long years of life experience" Burbank.

That doesn't make it right, and, when he needs to, Max knows how to draw from that well.

Let the teeming masses eat their cakes, wish for death and close their hearts. As long as the few of us acknowledge the higher order of things, the whole of us has not yet lost it's way.

How dramatic. You should write horoscopes.

"Oh trusty Virgo, beyond your crystal challace the teeming masses eat their cakes, wish for death and close their hearts. As long as the few of us acknowledge the higher order of things, the whole of us has not yet lost it's way. Go onward and let your ship sail. Expect a full moon full of suprise."

Look, she used our compassion as a weapon, and it only went so far. My heart goes out to the rest of the boys family who have to deal with their loss AND that nutjob in their family tree.

[Perndog]

I hate to say it, but universal compassion is not the "higher order of things" that separates one from the teeming masses. It's just one more thing that keeps them teeming. So please, go teem some more, and come try again when you think you're ready. Teem.

" it's easier then debating me."
-Alphabweiner

As I've said several times, you are not debateable, much as I might wish otherwise. You believe you have soul ownership of truths and you define all terms as 'agreeing with my definition entirely in every way or being incorrect'. Whoever taught you that in your high school debate squad did you a diservice. That is how sqaulid psuedo intellectual adolescents score points off each other and is nothing I am inparticularly interested.

I do not debate you. I mock you. I-mockery.com? I'm sure the speckled teen agrivators you're looking for have a forum somewhere.

And Mr. Perndog, sir professed Satanist; If I were a boob, my political and social arguments would not have weight because of my long years of life experience. I haven't been a boob since my early thirties at the very least. You are not a boob either, and I think if you take a moment you'll see that what life experience you have, you've gained from in terms of perspective. Are you wiser than you were at thirteen? I profoundly wish it so. I find as I grow older and do the things older people do, be it rasing a child or having difficulty making stool, that I am less sure of understanding anything, but more capable of compassion for other people, even when I don't agree with their actions. I think rock solid certainty is for whippersnappers, as is deeply felt hatred. Of course, many people get to be my age and far older and are still brats, tantrum throwing playground bullies, and self congratulatory debate squad dorks still smarting over dates long ago rejected. Only the body has no choice about aging. It doesn't cost me anything at all to feel sorry for Cindy Sheehan. On the whole, whoever she hugged, I think she did very little damage and even little bit of good by getting people to ask themselves what they'd feel if it was their boy. And of course she's a nutjob. Have you ever met anyone who's lost a child? She may have been a nutjob first, I don't know or care.

Alphabababyboy says she used her dead son as a weapon. That would be an interesting metpahor if the sound of all the non metaphorical weapons weren't drowning it out. Casey wasn't killed by a metaphor, and neither were the other three thousand some odd, who, you'll forgive me here, Mr. Perndohg, seem like children to me. But that's why they send children to war, because they haven't got the life experience to say "Go out there? For a reason you can't even succsesfully articulate? You know they're shooting bullets out there, not metaphors, right?"
