I can think of only two people who would use that story to indict the USA.

A person got fired - justly or unjustly. If justly, the country did nothing wrong. If unjustly, then
the employer is at fault. How do you possibly get off indicting the USA for this action?

I really can't understand why anyone responds to any of your ****.



There you go again, with the personal insults.

Read what you wrote. What you wrote was an indictment of America based on what one woman gave as her
side of a story.

It was ****. We've all written some **** in our time. That happened to be an example of yours.


I'm not engaging in personal insults against other posters here. You
are. Period. It's perfectly within your rights to not like my political
opinions, as it is within my rights to not like your political opinions.
No need to make it personal.

Horse manure. A journalist who writes **** should expect to face the consequences. Seems like that
happened fairly recently. Both Lara Logan and David Kilpatrick wrote some ****. Logan got fired.
Kilpatrick was simply supporting a liberal newspaper which revels in lies.

Both wrote ****, which is what you did. I suppose you feel insulted, but on the other hand, I live
in the country you continuously insult.



I think it is reasonable to attack an idea you don't like, but I don't
see where it is necessary to attack the person *here* who posted the
idea you don't like.

You seem to be admitting defeat, and stating you cannot control
your temper and engage in adult-level conversation without engaging in
personal insults.

I had a feeling the righties who post here would not be able to control
their tempers and would engage in personal insulting even if the usual
"object" of their hatred (me, of course ) refrained from those same
sort of personal insults. Thank you for proving me correct. At least a
half dozen of you righties, many of whom complain about the "tone" in
rec.boats, are perpetuating the tone you claim you don't like.

This, by the way, is not a venue of journalism in which people who are
paid to write are paid for what they write here, so therefore I think
your attempts to make comparisons to Ms. Logan or Mr. Kilpatrick (never
heard of him, actually) are invalid.

As for *your* country...it is *my* country, too, and I would like my
country to do a better job of what most people would find important.

Oh, and I shall continue to not engage in personally insulting other
posters here, and simply observe the hypocrisy of "the right."

As always, have a wonderfully terrific day.

Amen.

country to do a better job of what most people would find important.

Then treat your country with some respect. It does a hell of a lot better than 90% of the other
countries in the world. Don't denigrate the entire country based on a one-sided view of a problem.


Oh, and I shall continue to not engage in personally insulting other

Good. That's suitable. Remember, when you proudly announce the members of your 'bozo bin' along with
the 'reasons' for entry thereto, you're insulting those folks also.

There are what, 200 or so countries in the world? So, 20 of them do a
better job in terms of what most people find important? Actually, I
suspect the number of countries doing better might be higher in some
categories that are really important. Perhaps if we cut back drastically
on military spending, we can address some other really important issues.

The inmates of my bozo bin aren't there because of their politics,
they're in there because they can't behave reasonably here and cannot
post without insulting others.

Did I call you a name? If so I apologize for name-calling. On the other hand, if I called something
you wrote '****', then that's an appropriate comment.

We each have our definition of reasonable behavior. You find my calling your comment '****' to be
unreasonable. I find it very appropriate. Your accusations are, in fact, personal insults. You could
easily filter the individuals whose comments offend you *without* the announcements and personal
insults. True or false?

Is there some reason you continuously 'inform' us of whom you've filtered and your rationale for
doing so? Do you believe someone here gives a ****?

I have no politics to speak of so it must be the insults that you can't
deal with. It would be impossible to recount your deeds and not leave
you feeling insulted. Example: When I call you deadbeat, you feel
insulted, right?. Facts is facts, Jack. Learn to live with it.

I for one am proud to be in Harry's bozo bin. In fact, I wish he'd issue
plaques honoring that accomplishment.

I try to stay out of his discussions as much as possible. How can you
communicate on a rational plane with someone whose head is waayyyy out
in La La Land? He'll have to settle for an occasional insult from me,
because that's the only way to relate to assholes.
