I notice that the GW post that Grandpa began appears to have vanished. What did I miss and who managed to step on their w*ng with that post? Inquiring minds need to know.

Eddie


I started the topic on the president's surprise trip to Iraq because I thought it was a great thing for him to do. The morale boost for the troops was the right thing at the right time, in my opinion.

Unfortunately a couple of people who apparently hate the president so much they go ballistic at the mention of his name ruined it with their hateful comments. In GoHarley's case atleast he chose to send me a private email that shall remain private. He and I disagree on politics but atleast he had the class to try not to ruin the topic and also take the time to let me know why privately. You and I disagree, too, but you are not so filled with hate that you make a fool out of yourself for the sake of bashing the president. Even H2O exhibited reasonable restraint and showed his distain for Bush with reason.

Unfortunately Twig does not share the class of most people who opposed the president's trip. His comments about how the president was killing young men so his friends who are already rich could get richer showed an extreme lack of class and a real ignorance. Ranting and raving and name calling started to spoil the intent of my topic so I deleted it.

Eddie maybe you could start a topic on Hillary's Thanksgiving trip to Afghanistan. Even Hillary praised the president before attacking him on why we are there. Even Hillary!

President Bush's surprise trip caught so many off guard that I felt it deserved a NFR topic even though I suspected it would degenerate into hate speech. Thankfully 99% of the threads were respectful.

thats too bad that ranting and raving and name calling ruined the post of such a true angel as you grandpa. I am sure that you would never do anything like that to a thread that you disagree with. grandpa you have written some of the more disgusting disrespectful and hate riddin comments ive ever read on this or any other board. although i was smart enough to not even open up such a thread, it sounds like you probably got a dose of your own medicine. I am not trying to bash you for your opinions... just saying that it sounds like a pot calling the kettle black.

Having your thread deleted musta been kind of like swallowing a turd for you, eh grandpa?

Like you wouldn't have been all over anyone who posted a good job Hillary thread for visiting the troops in Afghanistan, which I did see you mention but of course had absolutely nothing positive to say about.

If you are going to post, expect people to reply. Expect that some people might even have the audacity to disagree (repectfully)with you or have an alternate opinion.

In return, judging empirically from the body of your work, I'll go ahead and expect you to suggest that anyone who does, especially anyone actually making a decent point 'eat shi*'.

Pssssssst.....

....your character is showing.

A couple of years ago there was a claymation wrestling show (celebrety wrestiling?).
There were some pretty hilarious matches.
What board members would you pair up to fight and how would it go? flog

IMO, this board is getting just plain old UGLY! Same old, same old....barf!!!

Too bad for that too 'cuz it used to be a whole lot better. Some people might benefit from a day off the internet and actually spending a day fishing for crying out loud. cry

mabe they should try to make a rule on this board that if your topic does not include the word fish or fishing, it should be blocked out. not trying to make anyone mad, but this is a fishing/hunting board right?

No matter what you think of him you should still respect the office.

Also no matter what you think of the war in Iraq, we are there now and nothing is to good for our troops.

In this case WAY TO GO PRES BUSH !!!

It had to help the moral of the guy's over there.

Just for the record..I deleted my own topic..not because I can't take the inevitable barrage from those who got so nuts anytime President Bush's name is mentioned but because I respected our president for what he did on Thanksgiving day. I deleted my own topic because it turned into another opportunity for the usual suspecdts to spew their bile in the president's direction.....not in mine. Not respectful disagreement at all just hateful nonsense.
