Fresh thoughts on the President

Again, the problem was your topic. We were all expecting "fresh thoughts" and instead we get the more of the same.

[b]Really?
Inasmuch as I never heard anyone say that about Obama before, I thought it was 'fresh'.
Anyway, the reactions were much more amusing than any discussion may have been.
What a hoot.[/b

I hope you realize that the joke is on you.

IMHO, I don't see the point of posting something on a discussion board unless you have an actual opinion on the topic to be discussed.

I beg to differ.
Consider it a social experiment.

Yeah. Well I think I'll just "consider it" as what it really is... nothing more than a dodgy excuse to avoid giving an opinion on a topic that you started.


Then you would be wrong.

BTW - Got an opinion on the situation in Libya yet?

Not really.
Why?
Is that mandatory, or something?

Sorry, but I'm not buying your bullshit, Jack. I certainly don't blame you for not wanting to answer my question.

I think that the exposure of your own knee-jerk predictability is what truly has you all wee-weed up over my simple little experiment.

As I said...

If expecting a fellow poster to be willing to give his own opinion, especially on a topic that he started is what you mean by "knee-jerk predictability," then yes... I'm guilty as charged.

Was there a joke somewhere in this thread?
I must have missed it.[/b

Obviously

You misunderstand.
The "knee-jerk predictability" of which I speak lies in the fact that, had the quote involved absolutely anything other than your beloved Barry, you would have ignored the thread altogether.

Now you're a mind reader?

So why do you think that West's quote is relevant? It's a simple question. I really don't understand why you're refusing to answer it.

[b]I'm not refusing to answer.
I don't think West's quote is relevant.
Happy now?[/b

Yet you posted it and then spent the next 3 days trying to wiggle your way out of it.

So you posted it why, exactly? An irrelevant quote posted on a discussion forum, provided with no name or link, no explanation or context, and your grandiose social experiment was watching us attempt to figure out what the f**k you were talking, er... not talking about?

Conservatives are so cute when they try to do science. Seriously. Yes, happy posted something on a discussion board and we responded with words. He is truly a master puppeteer. We should all bow to his incredible and apparent genius.

Yes. We are still discussing on a discussion board. Magical.

What are you, twelve? Please, please tell me you didn't think very long or very hard on this.

Wiggle out of what, exactly?
I never endorsed the quote - I merely posted it, sat back, and watched the usual suspects freak out over it.
And it was highly amusing - you people are so cute when you completely lose it[b

Yeah,just keep telling yourself that while you the hole you're digging keeps getting deeper.

The same reason that cars slow down to gape at an auto wreck applies here.

Yes, but what are you discussing?

You and your mad, crazy experiment, obviously. We were attempting to discuss the topic you started because, and this was our mistake, we thought that you might actually have had an opinion on something; we thought that you were trying to start a conversation, however boneheaded it might have been. Clearly this wasn't the case; we'll remember that next time. This discussion wasn't a total wash, however. It proves pretty conclusively what I've thought for a while - that you're nothing but a troll who has little to no interest in having a genuine, topical discussion of current events on this forum.

And for that, we thank you.

47 and counting.

You summed it up nicely.
