View original postonce again, because i'm sure you missed it twice now: because of the government shutdown my company is missing out on money we are owed for the work we are doing because the people who give us our payments are furloughed.

So the 'big picture' is that you blame the republicans and republicans alone, to the point of calling them terrorists, because your paycheck has been delayed for some reason. Okay. Keeping in mind that I have no idea what the hell you do for them nor have anyway to verify the validity of that remark that pretty much ends my interest as you have squandered your credibility with me.

Stopped reading when I saw the teahadist remark. Nothing after that point could possibly matter.


i won't go into yet again how hostage taking = terrorism since we've beaten that horse into the ground. i am only making the point on why you object to my tone. it's personal because your people made it personal by shutting down my livelihood, and the livelihoods of millions of others too.

A whole generation has voted DNC twice. Dannymac - 07/10/2013 04:18:25 PM 1122 Views
It voted RNC twice right before that, then DNC twice before that, then RNC thrice before that Isaac - 07/10/2013 05:18:31 PM 1154 Views
elections are a cyclical affair by nature. the gop won't always be the party of stupid.... *NM* moondog - 07/10/2013 08:02:44 PM 647 Views
Not to mention they've gerrymandered like there's no tomorrow. Legolas - 07/10/2013 05:49:23 PM 1164 Views

When gerrymandering there is no tomorrow, just the current decade Isaac - 07/10/2013 07:29:39 PM 1191 Views
I'm curious as to why you say "unpopular bill" here Larry - 08/10/2013 09:02:49 AM 1223 Views
Force of habit or slip of tongue, "Unpopular set of laws" Isaac - 08/10/2013 03:05:18 PM 1234 Views
Ha! Larry - 09/10/2013 08:37:25 AM 1213 Views
Bad enough, no? Legolas - 08/10/2013 06:32:06 PM 1059 Views
Certainly Isaac - 08/10/2013 08:23:34 PM 1331 Views
give a coherent reason for the shutdown and the label of economic terrorist will go away moondog - 07/10/2013 08:11:27 PM 1301 Views
Why should I try to discourage you from using a label that makes you look like a fanatic? Isaac - 07/10/2013 09:23:40 PM 1208 Views
i guess i should have put the disclaimer you asked for so you would know to be offended, is that it? moondog - 07/10/2013 10:49:43 PM 1185 Views
It's pretty fucking sad any of us think we need a reason to act civilly, courtesy is its own reward *NM* Isaac - 08/10/2013 07:50:00 AM 718 Views
So you mean I shouldn't call you "an uncle fucking horsefucker" then? Larry - 08/10/2013 09:04:06 AM 1124 Views
That's correct Larry, that would be unproductive Isaac - 08/10/2013 04:04:39 PM 1229 Views
Of course it would; I rarely use such words toward people who might be still involved in a convo Larry - 09/10/2013 08:39:22 AM 1077 Views
Re: Of course it would; [...] Isaac - 09/10/2013 05:25:28 PM 1154 Views
hey, i've given plenty of reasonable alternatives, i don't see why you can't compromise with me *NM* moondog - 08/10/2013 10:09:44 PM 620 Views
Compromises? You've called my party terrorists and made it clear it wasn't hyperbole in your eyes Isaac - 08/10/2013 10:23:05 PM 1210 Views
read what you wrote, direct it at your party, and look up "satire" if you still don't get it..... *NM* moondog - 08/10/2013 10:43:31 PM 715 Views
It's always painful when people think they're being funny or clever rather than sullen Isaac - 08/10/2013 11:33:36 PM 1146 Views
remember that time when the Dems shut down the government to stop the iraq war? oh wait.... moondog - 09/10/2013 12:42:53 AM 1161 Views
Probably a bad analogy pick, many of the Dem-initiated shutdowns were over defense spending Isaac - 09/10/2013 01:11:38 AM 1085 Views
ok, henceforth instead of terrorists i will use "tea-hadists". is that more to your liking? moondog - 09/10/2013 10:26:36 PM 1299 Views
No. Overdue, insincere, and half-assed attempts at marginal courtesy is not 'to my liking' Isaac - 09/10/2013 10:40:57 PM 1155 Views
and here is the big picture, in a nutshell moondog - 10/10/2013 12:26:18 AM 1228 Views
"Here's the big picture" remarks shouldn't start by complaining about your personal paycheck Isaac - 10/10/2013 12:37:34 AM 1150 Views
i think 800,000 federal workers would disagree but YMMV moondog - 10/10/2013 12:44:29 AM 1418 Views
The GOP House already voted to give them back pay Isaac - 10/10/2013 01:21:27 AM 1144 Views
the House is good at making empty gestures without actually addressing the causes moondog - 11/10/2013 05:17:34 PM 1262 Views
How is agreeing to backpay an empty gesture? Isaac - 11/10/2013 05:37:58 PM 1528 Views
it's empty because the shutdown persists. end the shutdown and they won't need back pay moondog - 11/10/2013 11:02:20 PM 1245 Views
Make up your mind, you complained early that you weren't getting paid Isaac - 11/10/2013 11:21:57 PM 1102 Views
Clever. Did you make that one up yourself? I like it, will have to remember that one... *NM* Legolas - 09/10/2013 11:31:22 PM 623 Views
i can't claim to have invented it, but use it as you wish *NM* moondog - 09/10/2013 11:34:39 PM 646 Views
I do remember the time when some Democrats were tarnished with that pejorative brush... Larry - 09/10/2013 08:48:50 AM 1232 Views
Re: I do remember the time when some Democrats were tarnished with that pejorative brush... moondog - 09/10/2013 09:51:22 PM 1206 Views
That schtick got old a long time ago. You need newer, better material. Larry - 10/10/2013 03:43:31 AM 1135 Views
you'll be rid of me for good soon enough, don't worry about it moondog - 11/10/2013 05:10:00 PM 1371 Views
I couldn't care less either way. Just make stronger arguments. *NM* Larry - 11/10/2013 05:55:05 PM 642 Views
you do realize you would come out a loser in said anarchy don't you? random thoughts - 11/10/2013 03:56:24 AM 1188 Views
You do realize that when I say "there are moments when I..." that it implies something else? Larry - 11/10/2013 08:22:26 AM 1246 Views
the republicans won more elections now the democrats have shutdown the government random thoughts - 09/10/2013 06:37:31 PM 1191 Views
