He should go after cars... since more people die each year in car accidents...

That guy is a nut and his documentaries are brutal one sided piles of ........

Like all those blogs I used to visit. Little did I know they were fronts for Democratic Good vs Republican evil. Once I figured that out they held no value to me.

P.S. I know you were saying that one for me.... It is how I truely feel the news should be. Maybe have a local news cornor where that stuff might be mentioned... I have mentioned it a few times over the years on this forum.


Why does everything become left vs right? Drives me nuts......


P.P.S.

Geo your post eariler. All I have to do is stand up and clap. And remind my self I should not post before I eat breakfast and drink a cup of Joe.

Definitly Not Politically Correct HUMOR....

REPUBLICANISM SHOWN TO BE GENETIC IN ORIGIN
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2004 12:49:20 -0800


The discovery that affiliation with the Republican Party is genetically determined was announced by scientists in the current issue of the journal NURTURE, causing uproar among traditionalists who believe it is a chosen lifestyle.

Reports of the gene coding for political conservatism, discovered after a decades-long study of quintuplets in Orange County, CA, has sent shock waves through the medical, political, and golfing communities.

Psychologists and psychoanalysts have long believed that Republicans' unnatural disregard for the poor and frequently unconstitutional tendencies resulted from dysfunctional family dynamics -- a remarkably high percentage of Republicans do have authoritarian domineering fathers and emotionally distant mothers who didn't teach them how to be kind and gentle.

Biologists have long suspected that conservatism is inherited. "After all," said one author of the NURTURE article, "It's quite common for a Republican to have a brother or sister who is a Republican."

The finding has been greeted with relief by Parents and Friends of Republicans (PFREP), who sometimes blame themselves for the political views of otherwise lovable children, family, and unindicted co-conspirators.

One mother, a longtime Democrat, wept and clapped her hands in ecstasy on hearing of the findings. "I just knew it was genetic," she said, seated with her two sons, both avowed Republicans. "My boys would never freely choose that lifestyle!"

When asked what the Republican lifestyle was, she said, "You can just tell watching their conventions in Houston and San Diego on TV: the flaming xenophobia, flamboyant demagogy, disdain for anyone not rich, you know."

Both sons had suspected their Republicanism from an early age but did not confirm it until they were in college, when they became convinced it wasn't just a phase they were going through.

The NURTURE article offered no response to the suggestion that the high incidence of Republicanism among siblings could result from their sharing not only genes but also psychological and emotional attitude as products of the same parents and family dynamics.

A remaining mystery is why many Democrats admit to having voted Republican at least once -- or often dream or fantasize about doing so. Polls show that three out of five adult Democrats have had a Republican experience, although most outgrow teenage experimentation with Republicanism.

Some Republicans hail the findings as a step toward eliminating conservophobia. They argue that since Republicans didn't "choose" their lifestyle any more than someone "chooses" to have a ski-jump nose, they shouldn't be denied civil rights which other minorities enjoy.

If conservatism is not the result of stinginess or orneriness (typical stereotypes attributed to Republicans) but is something Republicans can't help, there's no reason why society shouldn't tolerate Republicans in the military or even high elected office -- provided they don't flaunt their political beliefs.
For many Americans, the discovery opens a window on a different future. In a few years, gene therapy might eradicate Republicanism altogether.

ROFLMAO - Hey wait a minute! Thats not FUNNY

[Dragonswrd]

I thought it was very funny. It would definately explain alot, wouldn't it?

I think it comes down to two problems:

1) Parents don't protect their kids from things they should, and
2) Parents protect their kids from things they shouldn't.

Germs/dirt? Evilwickedbad. Break out the hand sanitizer and Lysol.
Sex? Oh, let 'em make their own choices. They need all the available information to decide, even if they are just 5.
Chores? Avoid like the plague. You wouldn't want to warp them by holding them personally responsible for helping at home.
Profanity? Why not? The little buggers are just expressing themselves.
Restricting activities or friends? You can't do that! You have no right to decide what's right or wrong for your child!
Immediate gratification of all desires? Well, they deserve it, don't they? After all, it helps make up for the fact you're never home.

Yea I've heard this arguement before and find it annoying, mostly cause some other A-hole on this board once use that comparison to take a cheap shot at me and it is a meaningless comparison.

I mean if your gonna claim cars are as dangerous or more dangerous than guns make sure you collect some stats on how many lives automobiles save. You know like that ambulance or fire engine that comes and saves your life. or the doctor that uses his car to get to work instead of walking and arriving after the patient dies etc etc etc etc etc.
