So...Youwish....

By the tone of your post, I think you are pulling out a play out of the Democrats playbook. When all else fails, turn them in so they can't continue to disprove your flawed logic. But, you want to turn Morbius in for "trolling" and "stalking". I do believe he is excercising his 1st admendment rights much they same as you are. Can handle the heat...get out of the kitchen. Or at least stop crying about it publically....we already have one Rosie, god knows we don't need another.

Well I don`t know who rosie is.Myabe your palm? can you hear the tone of my post? Thats a pretty good trick maybe you can tell us all how to do it.

I think you are pulling out a play out of the Democrats playbook
Do you have one? can you tell me where I can get one,or will you just tell me when i hit on one.kinda like free mans allinsky tactics, whatever you think dude I learned of the trolling thing from genie she turned me in for trolling so it must not take much. This morbius trolls me wherever i post doesn`t add to my post just tries to put me down like you.

Or at least stop crying about it publically


Like you said.

I do believe he is excercising his 1st admendment rights much they same as you are.


if you don`t like my crying whining don`t read it.


Thats right out of the republican handbook,tell me morbius can post whatever he wants but i can`t cry or whine. Go on back to your rosie palm and leave me alone.

The flawed logic you disagree with is fox news orders their blond hair dye by the truckload. Must be a sore subject wuth you and morbius

I see where the confusion is now. You have no idea what your talking about.

..you started this silly thread so you can't expect it to evolve into something serious....you rarely start serious threads...you accuse...then you run off to see what happens....we get little serious discussion from you........if you meant something else you need to be clearer....also....to me....

I didn`t start this thread.If your gonna come on here and attack somebody you should at least know what your talking about.

trolling is a fishing term


I`ll have the moderator explain it to you.

if you don`t like my crying whining don`t read it.well i will admit i am impressed with the fact even you realize it is "crying and whining".....self awareness is half the battle....good for you :!: ........maybe there is hope for you yet =D>


Thats right out of the republican handbook,tell me morbius can post whatever he wants but i can`t cry or whine. Go on back to your rosie palm and leave me alone....[color=#FF0000]you post almost exclusively political posts...i rarely do...i respond to you....if you don't want responses, why do you post?[/color]

i am sure you think that is clever....you have repeated it about five times.....as i said...i think you can do better than that trite dribble....but maybe you can't....just what blonds on fox are you talking about :?: ...i am convinced you watch it far more than i do......no wonder their ratings so high with loyal listeners like you....and in case you have forgotten them:


Here are the demo rankings (ages 25-54) Nielsen TV Ratings :

1. Glenn Beck — 762,000
2. The O’Reilly Factor– 757,000
3. Hannity –691,000
4. On The Record w/ Greta Van Susteren—623,000
5. Special Report with Bret Baier– 446,000
6. Fox Report w/Shep Smith–418,000
7. Larry King Live—378,000
8. FOX & Friends- 357,000
9. Nancy Grace – 347,000
10. Anderson Cooper 360—343,000
11. Campbell Brown- 337,000
12. Rachel Maddow Show—279,000
13. Countdown w/ K. Olbermann– 276,000....(the last time i watched him he was bragging how he was gaining on oreilly....lol.....he can't even gain on larry king :lol: .......i will admit i didn't know beck was so popular....haven't seem much of his show ....usually see him on other shows.....

:mrgreen: and in case you accuse me of avoiding msnbc...i love morning joe and have no idea why it not on the list......i am curious how the new imus show is doing...fox business is only in about a fourth of the households the big cable networks reach....i d.

I love numbers. The problem with those numbers is that before long, either Whacked, Bob, or youwish will refute those numbers as right wing inflated polls that do not count since Fox isn't a real news organization. What I did however find interesting about how this thread started was the fact that both Whacked and Bob were watching Foxnews. For people who can't stand the news there, it is ironic you shut it off with that channel on.

But I digress a bit more here....youwish.....i applaude your efforts at trying to be sarcastic and smart. I really do. However, Rosie Palms is a Jr. High joke and one that is relatively lame. Had you understood my post, you would have known that I was referring to Rosie O'Donnell which is by the better joke in this case as she, much like you, is a political trainwreck of absurd ideas.

So at the end of the day, when up against intellectual powers....you are epic fail.

The same way that I describe Fox - a partisan, infotainment media outlet. One thing I can say in favor of MSNBC: they don't use scare tactics as their SOP.

As I supposed at the beginning of the thread, Fox is all innuendo, buzz words, and fear.

First off, I didn't call you dumb. I did point out to you that you failed to understand my Rosie comment. You still don't....doesn't mean that you are dumb. Just means that we aren't on the same levels in terms of humor or wit. Mine is mine and yours is about palms. I laughed at yours.

But...as far as childish goes, by no means am I being childish about this. You started bashing and now you are moaning and berating me for pointing out that out to you. You do need to grow up and learn to have intellectual debates instead of one line quips and insults to try and attempt to make a point. This is a constant pattern with you, you jump into a thread, bash a subject with insults have thought up from whatever the heck you read for your news, and then you moan when someone calls you on your point.
