about Bush

[phoenix_night]

i just read the thread about 10 worst leaders. was bush the one removed?

anyway, i read a couple of threads which said words to the effect of, bush is not a dictator quit trolling or whatever, he got voted in.

i though i'd just make my point in saying, no he didn't, he lost.

so much for democracy.

I don't like the man either, but the constant anti-Bush threads are becoming extremely annoying.

Post something intelligent, or don't post at all.

Agreed, he was democratically elected, it was statistically weird but it was still okay by my opinion

 

[phoenix_night]

i'm really not being anti-bush. and please don't ban me for that because i'm not.

i just thought it funny (in particular with what i read in the other thread), the fact that he wasn't democratically elected.

He wasn't POPULARLY elected, but he was DEMOCRATICALLY elected.

This thread should be closed.

This thread reminds me of the "Why was I banned" threads made popular by Civaddict and Pellaken.

Is Civddict still around or his he perma-banned?

 

[Immortal]

I still see him occasionally (the drunk driving thread for instance), but hes a lot better then he used to be

i shoudn't be banned nor the thread closed. i'm not flaming or anything!

he WASN'T democratically elected.

the election was a joke. so many unlawful dealings throughout the course of the election, coupled with the fact that if there actually was a fair recount he wouldn't be in the white house!!

read up before you flame me, and make such suggestions. i posted this in a lighthearted manner, not expecting a political debate!! and now i can justs see me getting banned for having a go at bush when i'm just stating fact and didn't even instigate the political debate. just because of uninformed people eager to jump on the don't-bash-bush-bandwagon!!

funny, I think the reason you will be banned is because you are directly arguing with a moderator over his removal of a thread deamed inflammatory and unnecessary .



Wow, the uninformed masses eh? Thanks Professor... <Insert Obnoxious Smilie>

There's a sticky on this. Look out.

And Bush WAS Democraticlly elected. In fact, My family voted for him.

 

[phoenix_night]

why should i be banned? i thought there were bans or whatever for 'trolling' or insulting and all this.

what have i done to deserve a ban?

but he wasn't democratically elected. it's not like i'm deliberately flaming you or bush or anybody!!!

i didn't screw the election up!!

if i not actually said one bad word against bush or anyone else in this thread and apparently i'll be banned!

why?

I hope this thread is shut down...

Those of you peddling this Bush is a dictator crap is really doing harm to those of us who oppose his actions, I believe our case is plenty sound without that sort of name calling.

I find it quite similiar to the pro-war people calling pro-peace people "Pro-Saddam". It is spin-doctoring at best.

No matter what side anyone is on, I'm pretty sure we can all rise above these cheap shots and stick to the real issues.

 

[Perfection]

Exactly, does him being elected in this manner make him any less a capable leader

 

[phoenix_night]

I HAVE READ THE BUSH/US STICKY I HAVE DONE NOTHING ALONG THE LINES OF CALLING BUSH A DICTATOR OR THE US AN AGRESSOR!! NOTHING!!!

what is wrong with you people? is this a side effect of living in a pc community? that you take the slightest comment as a direct inflamatory insult?

this is sad. people are calling for banning and closing just for the sake of it, there is no need, it's totally unneccessary.

i can't believe what i'm reading. i fail to see how my original post could have led to this, this is not my doing, but those of others on this forum who have acted totally unappropriately.

now i do wish this thread locked as it seems i am being run into the ground, a show of public execution if you will, as people beg for a ban and to see me expelled from the board! and for what? through no fault of my own, that's one thing i can say.

i am stunned by the response. utterly.

and why? (please don't answer, leave this thread)

to mention the name bush is considered what? unlawful?

there was no flame, no insult, nothing of the sort, yet the response indicates the presence of every one of the above. unbelievable.

 

[addiv]

really scary limitations of speech on CFC forums lately. You can't say anything slightly negative about Bush anymore and you risk getting banned. It appears to me there are far more extremely right wing pro-bush people here then left-wing anti-bush people.
Why aren't they banned too?

 

[phoenix_night]

just read, there are no cheap insults, not once did i call bush 'less capable', not once did i call bush a dictator, there is no name calling, no side taken.

did you even read my thread?


note: addiv, i hope this doesn't seem like i'm talking to you in this last post, it was meant as a follow up to my previous thread, you just posted in the middle that's all.

I dont know about everyone else, I was saying that you will be warned/banned because of making a thread that breaks the rules specified earlier by me.
