This is a serious tragedy, one which may interfere with the upcoming elections. Anyone think so?

What are talking about? I was joking, perhaps it was in bad taste, and that was not right, and I do apologize. I am not here to attack you, I thought we were having a lively discussion. Didn't mean to offend anyone.

Maybe admin should delete my posts. I am certainly fine with that decision. I am having some trouble communicating today apparently.

Posts edited and deleted as requested. I left this apology for AB to see.

Thank you, Minuet.

Sisko, it was in incredibly bad taste, like cracking jokes at a funeral.

You're right. I chose the wrong time to show my alliegence to LAST.

However, I seem to remember someone making fun of a peace protestor plowed under an Israeli bulldozer.

If anyone who helped plan or carryout this tragedy is alive, may they be caught and be punished severely. Also, I hope those who were hurt have a speedy recovery.


Sisko: I don't think it will hinder the elections. Security will just be beefed up even more and the election will still go on IMO.

Really? Who?

First of all, Rachel Corrie was no innocent martyred under the blade of a kamikazi bulldozer. She chose to not move. Her death would have been deemed a suicide, just like stepping in front of a bus, because the stupid leftist twit would not friggin' MOVE. If she had not been a mind-numbed robot, she'd still be alive, living in her rose-colored world where all liberals are good and all conservatives are evil. But she was stupid, and now she's dead. I think of it as evolution in action. She was breaking Israeli law.

On the other hand, some terrorist scum blew up a car outside an unsuspecting embassy, injuring two soldiers and up to nine other people.

And, I rest my case your honor. :loling:

Do you think it's possible AB, for a peace protestor to be brave enough to die for his/her beliefs and principles and protect innocents as soldiers do?

Sisko - you edited your post to include the line AB is angry about. First - when you edit a post you should check the "add edit line".

Second - you should know when to stop. I thought I had helped you out with my editing. But you went back and said one thing too many. I can't help you out this time.

When you apologize you should actually mean it. :(

I do mean it. Just proving a point. At least some of us here have the maturity to admit when we are wrong.

Serious question--

What is 'LAST'?

"Lefties Against Somerled Today"

It was founded near the end of your vacation. :wave2:

AB started 2 other groups you might be interested in. One is Right Wing, the other non partisan. :loling:

I see. I thought it was a serious organization, perhaps one (Canadian?) that you had recently volunteered to be President for--I was wrong. :)
