Yes, it is a tribute to both Matthew & Pointbreak that their relatively non-aggressive behavior and well written posts have made them welcome in AA, despite their opposing views.

I give what i get... good bad and ugly.

Proving that I do allow those who disagree with me to express themselves, they just have to be civil about it. It also helps to actually construct your own sentences and not cut and paste every talking point from conservative sites.

Shucks i never realised it was all about if we agreed with your POV or not .. I thought it was about EVERYBODYS opinions *giggles*.

I still have a problem with their very well coordinated rebuttals, and exact same opinions on just about everything. They might as well be clones.

We are not in private communication ..neither do we work for the same department. You just may think we agree on everything.
I have noticed you have leveled things at me that i am not guilty of [not claiming PB thinks this either , quite the contary] [e.g thinking all 'rag heads' are the same...] Clearly you clump 'us' all into one 'gang' [conveniant for you i suppose].. and think we ARE clones .. shame on you.

And that's why when the AA forum fills up with these types, many other people from this site who might like to participate in the forum feel intimidated by numerous, often hostile responses from the 'right' (the usual love it or leave it shit). So I must counterbalance the intimidation by strictly enforcing the guidelines in that forum. Those who can only spout the company line over and over are extremely boring and tedious.

You spout the company line more than anybody around here.. obviously from the 'alternative' viewpoint .. don't you think THAT gets tedious and boring ?.

Thank God, the majority of this website's members have alternative viewpoints to the media saturated masses, and for their views to be clearly heard, we cannot allow 'Deny, Blur and Distract' tactics to prevail in this forum.

So you guys are welcome to provide YOUR OWN UNIQUE opinions, just as everyone else does, but when they can be found, often word for word on conservative websites, without caveats or even attribution to the original source, then it's just spam and trolling.

And it all sounds like:
baaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Be original (if that's possible for you). You guys still have a long way to go before your opinions and point of view actually influence anyone. I really hate to think you guys make all those posts, never changing anyone's opinion.

I try and be 'original' but like many .. fail, sometimes.
I gave up trying to influence anybody once i realised most don't wish to be influenced away from their POV anyway..
Saying that...hard 'fundementalists' like yourself are hard nuts to crack.. and a bit of a challenge to communicate with.. this is why i 'make all these posts' ..gluton for punishment me.

In fact your real goal (and that of others) is to prevent those with opinions similar to yours from changing their opinions based upon what gets posted on this site. That is the "conservative" prerogative. And that is only plausible explanation for why you guys are here.

If people can't alter there opinions either way, that is not my fault.. i manage too on many occasions.

Skip..i happened to stumble across this site.. glad i did.
Many good people.
AA is but one small reason i post around here..
Infact i have cut down on posting in AA because not many people are willing to come out and discuss 'what can be done' they just like spouting conspiracy crap and 'Its all Americas fault' blah blah blah..

By distracting us and challenging every single point we make (often futile), you prevent the discussions from going further. I would love to see threads progress to the point where people debate WHAT TO DO about the issues in the thread, rather than always being forced to validate the issue's fine points. But see if every point gets challenged endlessly, then you can never discuss, organize and generate a response to issues. But that is your other raison d'etre ici, no?
Click to expand...

Well when month after month certain things stop getting re-gurgitated then we may ALL be able to 'move on' and discuss 'what to do'... 'Bring our boys home' seems the likely response .. well HOW WHY and WHEN.

Your tactics mirror those of Fox News and other conservative media outlets. Deny, Blur and Distract. It works really well when it's happening all around you. To run a successful fascist state, you have to be good at keeping the masses distracted from what your leaders are doing.
Click to expand...

You flatter me and others with more than we deserve..

When i am wrong i admit this .. seems not many [including you] are able to do this.. this is why we are all at logger heads a lot of the time.

Thank God, that time of ignorance seems passed...
Click to expand...

Lets not bring God into this more than he already is ...

Personally i am only trying to add the 'truth' as far as i am concerned.. like yourself.
I gave up trying to alter peoples POV's a long time ago.

Merry Christmas!

Seasons Greetings..and a Happy New Year.

THE TEEN REBEL DISCOVERS THE INTERNET AWARD: Any thread promoting anarchy. No you are not the first person to tell us. No, we aren't conditioned by the media. Its a hypothetical utopia, who cares? Most of its fans live at home and don't have jobs or responsibilities. Coincidence?

That's not entirely fair.

They used to say the same thing about democracy (some still do). An ambitious theory doesnt have to mean an impossible goal.

I'm not here enough anymore to recieve an award, but i am enjoying the show.
