Don’t despair, Jimbo! (*GRIN*)

You’ll get the hang of browsing the threads. Basically skipping over Otto’s posts is the key.

Balc. He (she?) is challenging to deal with but not a total nutter.

Staying on the “Left” I’d recommend paying attention to Spartacus. He’s not exactly “Left” in the “Otto” sense of Left, but he’s definitely one to criticize and counter c0nservative conventional wisdom. That said, he’s very intelligent and has a sense of humor. His links are always worth clicking on; you may not agree with their info, but it’s always worth considering within the context of the debate.

Chekote… again, not “Left” in the sense Otto is Left… but anti-Palin… more of a “wet” Republican. Smarter and more instinctively willing to come down on the “right side” of issues than Balc, but not as broadly knowledgeable (history, nuts and bolts of “social issues,” etc.) as some of us.

(*WINK*) (Yeah… I know… but it’s TRUE!) (*CHUCKLE*)

Sinz? Kinda schizo at times. Knee-jerk “Right” on defense and foreign policy but knee-jerk “Left” on issues like climate change. Still… overall… VERY knowledgeable, well-educated, knows his history pretty well, “seasoned” in the sense of he’s lived through a lot… stubborn as hell though when he has his heels dug in.

As to those on the “Right” (give or take)… I’ll leave you to make your own judgments.

Basically – as sites such as this go – this is a fairly civil and sophisticated “mainstream” blog.

“That’s correct Bill. I knew there was a reason why I hadn’t posted on this blog for months or read the comments until a few days ago.”

………I can understand that you wouldn’t want to spend too much time amongst the ignorant, dumb and stupid of NM (Bill excepted of course)….it must have been very stressful for someone of your high intelligence and sensibility…….you really need to spend more time amongst the intense intellectuality at Redstate or Free Republic…..both are very challenging I’m told

………I’m the first to fess up to a propensity for bellicosity and acerbic humor when faced with bizarre demos of ignorance or condescension…… If someone proves me wrong I’ll turn on a dime…..I’m just not into denying reality but these last ditch defenses of it by some people like irreign who obviously isn’t a dope (the other guy is a somewhat different matter) are just an affront to the reasoning process…….denying gravity is never going to work out

And hopefully, one who will take the effort to understand basic scientific definitions before excoriating others for not sharing his ignorance.

A little more humility (like asking questions when one isn’t sure?) and a little less bellicosity would be significant improvements to the process.

….Preferably one who knows the difference between a fundamentalist and a fanatic

……..irreign you really are such a deliciously pompous twit

If you’re just going to keep quoting the Plan B site – you’re tacitly accepting their definition that a fertilized egg, pre-implantation, does not constitute “pregnancy”.

That’s fine. I have no problem with that. It still doesn’t make you any less wrong when you declare that Plan B has no impact on a fertilized egg.

Shrug away. I’m pretty much convinced at this stage that your science comprehension is at an embryonic stage anyway.

Unfrigg’nbelievable.

Balc. Remind me… are you a chick? If so… are you fertile?

Because I gotta say… you’re definitely the type who would misuse (or perhaps not bother with) contraceptives.

One more time…

“Plan B One Step isn’t an abortion pill – it can’t terminate an existing pregnancy.

Now… must I also define “pregnancy” for you…???

QUOTING BALC (#113) –

As I noted, natural processes routinely slough off FERTILIZED eggs. Are they mourned? Not hardly. But if a woman decides to use Plan B the ejection of the FERTILIZED egg at the exact same stage of development is considered a tragedy by certain members of the right.

Jeez… (*GRIN*)… you know normally I’d just shrug and let it lay (get it…? LAY?) (*GRIN*) but I’m having so much fun demonstrating what a weasel you are… what a downright dummy you are… I just can’t help myself from continuing to beat the dead horse.

(*WINK*)

You really SHOULD follow the links I provide, Balc; it would save you so much embarrassment.

(*SHRUG*)

P.S. – re: Ireign // Aug 12, 2009 at 2:47 pm (#126) –

Obviously you’re not a religious zealot, fanatic, or fundamentalist.

Ireign. It’s depressing, isn’t it… (*SIGH*) And these people can vote… and drive… and have kids…

(*SHAKING MY HEAD IN DISGUST*)
