I don't think "disagreement" is the topic of conversation, at
all......

I think *incessant off-topic posting* is the point. I can agree and
disagree with both *sides.* I find the *sides* have adopted Hatfield
and McCoy mentalities.... now everything posted is perceived as a
personal attack. It is almost like posters have lost their own
identities and can only post from some perceived political position...
all too often, of late, not even rooted in facts.

Why are we posting with masks of political identity in a boating
newsgroup. This would be a healthier discussion if I said you suck
because you own a Bayliner, that what political party with which you
identify.

If you want to discuss disagreeing, let's talk about agreeing to
disagree.... and killfiling those who can't.

Harry honestly posts that he come here to stir up trouble and you
aren't going to get him to stop. Now, you have folks of a different
political persuasion doing the same thing. Folks coming here to
disagree angrily, spread hateful political crap (factual or not), use
dirty little words and phrases, etc. .....

At least Harry is honest enough to admit it.......... to
everybody.....


Harry sucks. Is that honest enough for you?

Are you still getting taxpayer assistance for treating your chronic
illnesses, short boy?



JustHate is a real paradox.
I can understand the posters in here with substantial assets or great
company benefits not jumping on the new health proposals.
They don't need any govt help and don't respect those who do.
The Freak , on the other hand, might be better off under a more caring
system......... unless he expects one of his rich buddies to find him a
job.
The Lt Colonel is a classic example of a greedy..'got mine , screw you'
mindset.
He doesn't mind being so firmly planted on Uncle Sams tit that you
couldn't
budge him with a crowbar... but let someone else dare try to share that
elite piece of pie!


There are cowards, and there are others. Thankfully, several of us
here fall into the latter category. You and Harry don't.

Sorry about that.


I bet your superior officers were darn "sorry" too! When did they wise up?

Actually, Donnie, our superiors were quite pleased that we weren't
cowards.

Were yours sorry?

Again, I let them know that
the couldn't sell what they didn't stock and that saving $7 shipping
wouldn't justify a 100+ mile round trip. Bottom Line? I rarely shop
brick and mortar with them any more.


I'm surprised that you don't have one in your area given the number of
boaters thereabouts. We've got 3 or 4 within 10 miles here in SWFL,
too many in my opinion for the good of the company.

What ever he has, he earned it. That's the way it is supposed to be.
Otherwise, what's the point of working? Organizations began offering
health care benefits as a way to attract and retain good people,
then everyone else thought they should be entitled. There was a time
when people actually paid for health care out of their own pocket.

I imagine SW Fl is somewhat unique in the boat to citizen count.
There are a lot of boaters around here and a lot of different areas
that have access to the water.


I've been through Gene's area a number of times and there's a lot of
boats and a lot of water front there also.

If you are referring to, "reverse Harry" it isn't a pet name, it is a
highly accurate descriptor.



You boys need to cut back on your discussions of boating subjects, eh?


Like breastfeeding at Chick-Fil-A, asshole?

Yeah, if a republican disagrees with you he is a "reverse Harry'. No
names be called, no lies be told, no re-written cut and paste needed,
all that is necessary is for one not to goosestep to Al Gore and Rahm
Emanual...


At the same time, reverse harry is kind of a compliment.. I mean, being
