That's what I'm trying to do instead of getting sucked into labels and name-calling that Fuzzy and I exchanged earlier, or arguments you and I have had, or Cain's continued inflammatory language after reading Site Discussion. Let's just Do It, shall we? :)Quote:

Dear Little Fuzzy,
I apologize for getting testy after your reply about me (or who said evil first) instead of keeping on topic. I'm sorry I lost my temper and was snarky. I didn't intend to let my 'feelings' be hurt by what you said, and shouldn't have said that. I was out of line and I'll try to do better.
So, oh exemplary one, you think:Quote:

Please join me in our new Civility, and refrain from using inflammatory or derogatory verbiage, or personal "attacks". Let's "attack" our problems and not each other. Deal?
Just so you're not surprised... or at least can't claim you didn't have fair warning...
No. And in the interests of "increased civility," I think I need to refrain from explaining my answer.Quote:

2) There's nothing evil about being a millionaire or making legitimate money.
3) Neither Government nor Corporate America is omniscient.
4) Safety Regulations help protect the working poor and desperate worker from being crushed, injured, killed.
5) Business can thrive and make money without ignoring or imperiling their employees' health and safety.
So that whole thing about the FedEx drivers just sailed way over your head, as usual, then?
Go reread OG's post (#26) and then yours (#29), and see if you can piece together the meaning of that end bit in my post (#36). As a bonus hint, I'll tell you it's the same point I was making in my viciously "uncivil" post (#28). And good luck... I sincerely want to you to figure this one out.
Sounds like another case of that patented CainCrazy :(
Okay, but post # 36 wasQuote:

Beyond that, what am I supposed to be figuring out?
Your post #28 isn't even worth quoting, so if that's your only point, then.....
I suppose that figures.
In that case, a hearty and sincere "j00s" to the both of you and a heartfelt "meh" at neither of you being able to grasp even the simplest of reasons for your mind-numbingly obvious fallaciousness.
I'm curious to see how you explain mind-numbingly obvious fallaciousness, Cain. Without using more derogatory terms aimed at personal attacks.
Please, do proceed....several options are available to you. Deny there's corporate corruption, deny there's political corruption, deny that money is power, deny that money as power can corrupt. Deny all that, and proceed to give us your vision of the future and moving forward.....
Let me know how that works out for you.
What is this, dueling threads? :pQuote:

Whom do you think is driving the national discussion.....?
Do you deny that there's dying puppies, or dead children, or j00s and j00 gold?Quote:

Too bad the Report Complaint button isn't working properly. Maybe it will work in the forum upgrade.Quote:
