Tssss, your asking me to stop saying that its funny that you're swearing and getting so hyped up over nothing, and then you insult me. I'd say your the one that needs to drop it. But I'm going to drop this, wouldn't want you to go so far as to get a warning, although that too, would be justified.


You're only egging it on. Give me a warning, I leave STV except for the RPGs. You should just shut the hell up about your saying that it's funny, because it's only making it damn-well worse. Enjoy France.

I'm sorry, I really am, but you really ARE just making it worse, and yet you may damn well give me a warning! You KNOW what it's doing, and if you want it to stop, then you damn well should!

You know what? Forget about it. I'm right, you're wrong. I'll just drop it now, so long as you quit the joking stuff.

--EDIT--
I did NOT post this after reading Intrepid's. Hell, I didn't even know he/she posted it until just now.

Of course you're right,




I read that individual donations from the American people will increase the 350 Million by 3 and 1/2 times, wow, big number.

Yeah, and I'm Michael Moore. Even if you did (which you didn't, but I wouldn't put it past FOX News to have Liberal propaganda there--they're fair and balanced, after all, and becoming very liberal), it would have been in a search, and the searches don't just have news articles. But can't you just drop it?

I'll drop it when you admit to knowing it's a joke.

Oh my gosh, come on! Haven't you seen what's happened the last page and more? HUH! Can't you just drop it and realize that I found it OFFENSIVE. And you'll get me to admit "knowing it's a joke" when I become Michael Moore! You're a real jerk, you know that? MOVE ON, PLEASE! I don't want to do things that can really get me in trouble this time!

So you're saying you still believe it to be an attack on America? I can't really disprove that, even though a couple of Americans here laughed at it.

I don't give a damn that a "couple of Americans here laughed at it." That means as much as me saying that I supported Kerry (which I didn't, hint hint) YES, I DO believe it is an attack, and it IS! Now DROP IT. PLEASE.

So if I'm reading that correctly, and let us be honest here, based on your recent stuff who knows eh? But like I say, if I'm on the ball here, you're calling me a liar?

I'm not, but if you want to interpret it that way, then yes. I take it as an attack. But can't you just DROP IT? Look back at this debate! It's been BEATEN TO A PULP!

It's a matter of opinion. You're only right if you think you are, and both of you believe you're right. It's not worth arguing over. You're not going to change anyone's mind.

So what was the point in you posting the, 'That means as much as me saying that I supported Kerry (which I didn't, hint hint)' thing, then? Did you do it for fun? Because you're not really that kinda guy.

Or, considering I made the joke chart, perhaps I am indeed right. I don't think we'd be stretching things too far by saying that.

No, that was an OBVIOUS analogy saying that I don't believe that it was a joke!

*groans* People don't always take things as jokes, even if they were supposed to be. I certainly don't. And really, this debate is tiresome, unnecessary, and boring by now. Hence I will not be responding on this subject again.

I agree, except I don't have the luxury of not responding when it's all directed at me.

Am I any different then? If you direct a comment at me, that my joke was a personal attack, but I'm not around to see it first time, what right do you have to demand me to drop it? Can I not explain my original post? Or should I skulk off into the corner because I wasn't here when most of the debate took place?

I'm going to bed now, but I'm free in about twelve hours, so perhaps we can schedule another discussion for then? I'd hate to miss out again.

They did NOT "bully him into it," and he has NOT not wanted to give enough money, and we have NOT not given enough. We've given the 3rd largest amount, incase you don't know. And it's NOT ALL MONEY. You HAVE to see that. We gave MUCH manpower, helicopters, planes, supplies, etc from day one. It's NOT ALL MONEY.

(And btw, the americanfreedomcorps.gov site (or whatever it's called) has links to OTHER organizations to fund, too.)

I honestly can't see how giving money to aid people hurt in the Tsunami is a bad thing. I've heard people have negative responses to the different nations giving money, and it absolutely baffles me. Aren't the nations just doing what people are supposed to do in the first place, being kind and compassionate to others?

If I've pushed that impression, then I'm sorry, 'cause I don't mean it. It is NOT bad to give money, but it's not NECESSARY to put SO MUCH money towards it, although each country should give their fair share. What I want people to consider is not just the money, but the "hand" work. 93 US helicopters are now in the region, for instance, and the US is doing the most "ground work" out of all the countries. It's very much thanks to us that the distribution is occuring the way it is.
