How Sarah Did It...Debate Flow Chart

**Catty1** · 10-08-2008, 01:55 PM

So why wasn't RICHARD receiving similar comments from you two when he posted "Sarah Palin is a DOLL?"

Maybe your combat roles have added a natural attack response in addition to your post-secondary education. (I have only a BA myself).

So - maybe I will give myself and my eyes some peace and quiet and put you both on Ignore. How many is that for you now, Puck? 3 or more including me.

We're all out of step except you.

And yes, you DO come across as antagonistic, even if you don't mean to. Might want to look into info or workshops on communication styles, and communicating. That's not taught in any university that I know of.

Cheers.

Richard is way better at non verbal communication than I. I fully admit to my failings in that regard.

I post here mainly because it is an environment where my points of view are not in line with the general population. (That is where the "all out of line, except you" comes from...IMO) Nothing gets accomplished when you just preach to the choir. You all can continue to do so, if it makes you happy.

Like it or not, life is tough. Also, it is in my nature to fight the good fight. Doing the right thing is rarely the easy thing to do.

In the end, I hope I am wrong. I hope that our leaders are not leading us down a path to the abyss. But history and life expereince screams at me otherwise.

So basically you come here to preach to all of us lost souls...give me a break if anything you are cinching my vote for Obama.

Puckstop, you should have had several classes on communication while in the military. It is part of every NCOES course that the army has. Remember, there are three parts to every message, the speaker, the listener, and the message. If the speaker does nothing more than antagonize and irritate the listener, the message, regardless of how important or valid it is, is lost.

Congratulations, you've lost the listeners. Your style is combative, which works fine on the playground, but not while discussing topics with adults.

I have managed through the several years I have been a member of this board, to get my point across WITHOUT antagonizing the listener (Except when I do so on purpose

) It's one thing to disagree with the general population on the board. It is quite something else to stick around someplace where you've managed to irritate the majority, and still try to prove your point. You get nowhere, because your message is lost in the noise caused by the fact that you've annoyed everyone.

Dig out your PLDC books and read the sections on psyche....might do you some good.

Hear Hear, we often differ in political opinions but I am always open to your intelligent posts.

Ummm, NO. Not preach. Discuss.

Don't vote for OB because "the other side" are jerks. Vote for the guy you BELIEVE in.

I've got a lot to learn, that is for sure.

Sorry that I come across the way I do.

How did I get involved with this?

I like to pick and choose where I post.

I love the funny stuff and have hammered everyone and everything at one time or another. Some of the stuff is funny, other stuff isn't. Like the Tina Fake BS.

How much money does she earn and what is her carbon footprint when she flies to NY from Cali to do a few hours of work? Then she has the balls to complain about it by saying that she sure hopes that she doesn't have to do it after November 4? She could turn it down, as a matter of principle.
But she's just another stupid Hollywood mouthpiece that wouldn't even be thought about had she not had this opportunity.

It's all about substance and depth.

She does a politician-and what else? SHe makes stupid movies - while I love naughty humor-her Baby Mama movie have two of the stupidest lines I have ever heard-"I don't like your uterus" and "I farted in your purse"- those were put in the trailer for the movie.

Wonderful.

I can usually discount any movies by the lines they use to market the movie on the tube. If she thought enough of her career to do Palin and have her name associated with movies like that? I'd advise her to save all the money she has now and prepare to go on a celebrity reality show. Doing mud wrestling challenges and eating cockroach genitals may be in her future sooner that she thinks.

-------

So, most of the time I don't find any of the jokes for either candidate funny,
I write my material for free. I laugh at my stupidity, long for more talent and wish that people were more creative.

And in leaving you gentle readers, I put a spin on the garage/car line.

Voting for a one candidate over another won't fix the mess we are in, they are all liars and out of touch idiots.

And what's the matter with kicking arse at Trivial Pursuit?

Tis far better than Chutes and Ladders and that cherry game that requires no counting and cuts you off after the age of 6!

I'll play anyone at Old Maid or UNO-and win!

As somebody who voted for "Caribou Barbie" for Gov, I thought brought much the Fannay.

Like Puck, Ild only like an open discusion, if you dont want to answer a question just say so.

It may not seem like it, but most of my questions are only looking for clarity on your and others points of view.

We're all out of step except you.

Reminds me of a Minor Threat song, "Out of Step". Due to the language I cant post the lyrics, its still a good song.

And yes, you DO come across as antagonistic, even if you don't mean to. Might want to look into info or workshops on communication styles, and communicating. That's not taught in any university that I know of.

Im sure many of you see me as antagonistic as well, probably because I am questioning your views and looking for answers.

For the more liberal minds on this board, my coworker has a much more liberal outlook on things then most of you. We disagree but we manage not only to get along but would help one another at the drop of a hat.

Cheers.
