1. And congress can’t declare war if the president vetos it.

Perhaps it would have been more accurate to say congress can pass bills.

It’s irrelevant to the discussion though, since the subject is the productivity of the congress.

2. You don’t know what a personal attack is. A personal attack, or an ad hominem if you will, would be me saying that you’re stinky and you touch kids, therefore you are wrong about Iran.

I was criticizing nimbo’s response, not him.

3. I did base my argument on his statement. So you have no point.

@crewmanguy

1. Your working very hard to build a strawman argument, so I don’t even think this needs to be addressed.

2. Pointing out that nimbo didn’t address a point is in no way a personal attack.

You’re just trying to deflect legitimate criticism by creating another argument.

And as for you making an issue over “personal criticisms”, big fucking deal. Last time I checked there is nothing inherently wrong with criticism of someone.

The only problem is when the criticism becomes an Ad hominem attack.

3. I directly addressed his statement. That is in no way a personal attack I criticized his statement.

I can’t hold your hand and walk you through this slowly any more than this.

I have a news flash for you. You and the people you agree with are not above criticism. You are not special little butterflies that need to be treated with the utmost care. If you say something I disagree with, I’ll say something about it.

You don’t see me getting hyper sensitive because you criticized me, do you? I not crying ZOMG PERSONAL ATTACKS am I?

Now grow up.

@Navi

I’m feeling pretty good, actually. I’m just pointing out where crewmanguy is mistaken on a few things.

I see you can resist showing up and acting like a child. You do know you garbage doesn’t work on anyone over 14, right?

BTW, I notice how conspicuous it is that you avoided my question about whether or not you are gay.

I mean, usually overly homophobic people turn out to be gay, so it would surprise me if you are gay.

I hold nothing against you if you are. It’s ok. Admitting to being gay might lead to a certain amount of personal growth that you desperately need.

@... navi

“Can I get a count on how many assholes have come through here never realizing that by calling someone gay as an attack/insult they’re exposing their own homophobia?”

You call people gay all the time. Therefore by you’re logic you are a homophobe. Thanks for proving my point.

Besides, I didn’t call you gay. I asked if you are and you overreacted as usual.

“Roughly the same number who can’t get their heads around how bad they’re making themselves look.”

You should look in a mirror.

“Thanks for making more orders you fucking loser. You asked a question…so? Nobody here takes you any more seriously than people in your sad little real life do. Order and ask away. You’re only in charge of how bad you make yourself look and nothing else.”

I didn’t give you any orders. I asked a question. A question is not an order.

You would probably find it easier to communicate if you developed better word comprehension.

“No go ahead and say I’m gay again. Insult me you fucking faggot.”

If you’re not homophobic, why is do you consider it an insult to be called gay?

I was asking an honest question. I think you protest too much.

” Oh when I say faggot I don’t mean sexual preference. You act like a faggot. Its no sexual preference related.”

Don’t BS. You use a term for gay people in a derogatory term.

And stop trying to hide by making up a new definition for a word.

“You can be gay. But you don’t have to be a faggot. This has been covered. Though I’d still laugh if you got AIDS.”

Do you know words have meanings? And you can’t just make up new meanings?

Fail.
