Looking through the board in the first time in a while shows me that you sir need to get a life haha

Guess that's why I've made about 2-3 posts in like 5 days and most of these threads come from the same day. Not everyone can be as busy as you everyday, wondering the halls of Godwin 5 hours a day. lmao

You have made 10,000 posts in 3.5 years.

But I don't think his post had anything to do with the amount you post, just what you post about. I would imagine he meant that a 20 year old kid might be more concerned about having fun than worrying about how stupid a political party is.

Maybe, just maybe, he meant you need to have less concerns before you get out into the REAL world, and have REAL problems. I admire your passion for what you believe in, but kid, you're gonna burn yourself out before you get started.

Ever visit larger forums? People post 20+k in about a year, most of it has been arguing back and forth, not 10k talking to myself and a good majority of it came when I first started posting..I post less than half of what I used to.

Lol you think I live on here every hour of the day? I'm in class, then if I don't play ball, I'm here reading, writing, researching and studying during the weekdays mostly - then I get bored and post a shitton of threads and this is what I like to post about. You two just don't like the content, I'm positive if it was me attacking the Dem's, you wouldn't feel that way...I get it.

This is what I'm into, there won't be any "burning out", politics to me is like football or whatever to someone else (though I watch sports as much as the next guy, just not into it as much). This is something that actually matters and because it's rare for people my age to take interest in it, doesn't mean I need to "get a life" lmao, I didn't know there was a set age to stop being apathetic to issues that matter and effect everyone. A thousand apologies I like to watch a debate or just hang with some friends as oppose to the many who go out drinking and acting like dumbshits every weekend or knocking up some girl messing my life up. Or saving up money to buy speakers/ or whatever else for my shitty Cobalt instead of saving up for a brokerage account.

Yeah, I need to get a life huh? All because I'm not apathetic and have interest in what's going on around me and issues that may effect me and WILL effect others. Yup, always wanting to learn and get an education, accomplish goals, make money and be successful are attributes of a person with no life. Hmmm. Ahhh anyway like I said, if I was some conservative blasting liberals/dems...we wouldn't hear a word from you two or some others on here.

i hate to tell ya, but politics arent that important anymore either, all its turned into is which side can piss off the other more. We FINALLY have a president who has moved to the middle and is at least TRYING to stop all the bullshit and nobody can see that. I dont like Obama, I dont like that he came to russell county and told bullshit lies to get votes (supporting the coal industry) he simply has run out of things to do to turn it around. he screwed up early and now he cant fix it, its not his fault but at least he is trying.

**R13** · April 22nd, 2011, 04:29 PM

It's still important, the public just doesn't take interest, but still complains when they get screwed. And could you repeat what lies he told when he was in Lebanon? Love to hear them.

**R13** · April 22nd, 2011, 05:26 PM

First up, Mike Pence, he had a few great gems the past few weeks.

His lies about Planned Parenthood, the whole huge fuss over a non-existent issue. But trying to defund Planned Parenthood over his complete and total bullshit.

Whoops, Pence lets the truth slip out. lmao Trying to score a victory for the Republican party, eh?
YouTube - Pence Lets The The Truth Slip On His Uncompromising Stance

Next up is John Kyl, who had a whopper. After claiming/lying on the Senate floor that 90% of what Planned Parenthood does are abortions(try 3%), he cleared the air by then releasing a statement that "it was not intended to be a factual statement" rotfl. That has to be the quote of the year.

Paul Broun's gem on FDR, wow.
http://politifact.com/georgia/statem...socialism-sta/

RNC chairman claims "26 million jobs lost under Obama", try a small fraction while unemployment was well on the rise when he took office.
http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/...lost-26-milli/

A few for now.

ok........ he said he supports the coal industry and that their jobs wouldnt have been touched. he got the backing of this region by "backing coal" then out of the blue says that if there is anyway that technology allows us to take coal off the table as a viable means of energy then we will pursue it. Until then clean coal technology is what they needed to pursue <---- the last part is fine and dandy but then saying that he would tax the dog shit out of the coal powered plants until they adopted a newer cleaner technology or shut down............. how the fuck is that helping the coal industry?

**Rocky** · April 22nd, 2011, 09:53 PM

YouTube - Obama/Joe Biden "No Coal Plants Here in America" feature<--------- yeah, thats fine WHEN we have the technology to do it. How can you say you support coal then have your VP running around saying we dont want coal plants in america?

BTW, how in the hell are coal powered plants in china killing our environment? theres ya a gem.

I do like this thread though, I wish you would go back and get some of Bush's horrible gems for us haha.
