Dwayne, you ask what's the point of fighting for the life of a boy and a baby and compare that to the topic of this thread... what makes you tick? a cold heart?

Well, whitestar, you should have just answered my question on that thread and we could have gone forward from there, but sadly now you're misstating what I asked. What I had asked was, "...if I need hundreds of thousand of dollars to keep me (or anyone else for that matter) alive, I say, what's the point?"

Why didn't you just answer the question in that thread, instead of dragging that conversation over here? Why can't you just answer the question period? Are you afraid I might pull some rhetorical trick out of my hat and make you look bad? If you think my words are so horrendous, why not get to the root of my query and expose me as the monster you think I am?

I'll tell you why... it's easier to demonize me versus actually engaging in my thought experiment.

acting all indignant but you know and I know your quip "Oh, come on whitestar. I am beginning to think less of you due to your ill-formed opinions." is a direct reference to my "Ok, I had built a certain respect for you Dwayne, all gone now. "
You dragged it over not me... I have no intention of answering such a question and as far as demonizing goes Dwayne, you brought it on yourself... I would have thought from our recent exchanges you would realize I do not take cheap shots at anyones expense, thats not my style. Nor am I afraid to be proven wrong or enter into debate but rather the opposite on both counts... whatever your point was you should have not questioned fighting for the life of loved ones at any expense. Bad taste!

^^^ fighting for the life of a loved one is completely different than believing that the wealth producers of society ought to finance that fight.

Barack Obama's campaign killed all interviews with a Florida TV station after Sen. Joe Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, faced tough and critical questions from a reporter at the Orlando station, the Orlando Sentinel reported .

During a satellite video Thursday, WFTV's Barbara West quoted Karl Marx and asked Biden how Obama's comment to "Joe the Plumber," about spreading the wealth wasn't being Marxist.

"Are you joking?," Biden asked.

West replied, "No."

Click here to watch the interview.

Later in the interview West questioned Biden about his comments that if Obama wins the election next month, he would be tested early on as president and wanted to know if Biden was implying America was no longer the world's leading power.

"I don't know who's writing your questions," Biden asked her.

The Obama camp then killed a WFTV interview with Biden's wife Jill, according to an Orlando Sentinel blog.

"This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election," wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign, according to the Sentinel.

I agree with Biden,

"During a satellite video Thursday, WFTV's Barbara West quoted Karl Marx and asked Biden how Obama's comment to "Joe the Plumber," about spreading the wealth wasn't being Marxist."

He's gotta be joking or setting him up... thats like stating Australia is a Marxist inspired state... a joke.

That deserves no further contact with that reporter or station.

When are you guys gonna realize anything other than the American way is not tantamount to communism?!
Hey, if you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen!
Funny thing Admiral, you seem to think you run the kitchen... anything goes as long as someone else doesn't upset you
Righhhhht.

I do hope you remember the rules of not carrying a grudge from one thread to another...

Bullshit... there was no mention where the source of the money was coming from... it was about the sheer size of the amount and you know it

^^^ Obviously you have no memory of the conversation or the thread it was in. Just a reminder, the subject was socialized medicine, and with all due respect, I am getting pretty pissed off at how you're twisting it.

We were discussing socialized medicine when you posted this: http://s2.zetaboards.com/SisterTrek/single/?p=8018519&t=5025196

In response, I posted this: http://s2.zetaboards.com/SisterTrek/single/?p=8018525&t=5025196

You then got all offended.

you prove my point.
"Your missing the point Dwayne, call the 2% a levy, a tax but the reality is, it's insurance."

"Oh, and if I need hundreds of thousand of dollars to keep me (or anyone else for that matter) alive, I say, what's the point? "

in the very posts you have pointed out!

And I ask, again, what is the point? Can you answer it?

Answer my question or move along.

And while he is making a false accusation of you he avoids responding to your comments with regards to this particular topic.

Much easier to attack you personally then to engage you in discussion. Sad.

I jovially poked fun at you, and you reached conclusions why I did it. Now while I was mocking your comments from the other thread in my choice of words here, turning your your attack on its head and throwing it back at you on a different subject is not the same as actually dragging the argument here.
