TruthOut - Town Meeting
T O  needs your help
------------------------------------------------------------
You must be tired.  I don't need an army nor seek the defense of anyone.  Respect, those who are important to me I bid their respect, those who are not, I know exactly what to say and do to keep them at bay.  Then I don't have to be bothered with them.  I have plenty of respect from members on this board, because I stand my grounds, you need to come into the light.  

Out my mind, I've been told that before by those who differ and they're entitled to their opinions.  My husband and children have said such things, so if it's no biggy with me to have such comments made by those whom I love and who love me, surely, it doesn't matter to me one iota what you think or say.  I'm not hear to make friends although I've made many on this forum, but rather to speak my mind and what I perceive as truth.  Agree or disagree, that's up to you.

Those who matter think I'm on point and they're the only ones I concern myself with, nobody else.  The semantics don't mean much to me either soon everybody in America will be speaking Spanish anyway.  English is a bastard language, grafted into existence from ancient tongues.  It's taken you all forever to get this far.  So, I don't trip on that.  Oh, you wish to fight with me, don't you have anything else better to do?  Do you really think I'd give you my email address?  That previlege is only for friends and kindred spirits.  You don't meet that criteria.

let's recap your "truth" and "respect" shall we???

a poster asked, because of the vague explaination TO gave it's readers...

   1. Exactly what kind of sources are you guys working with?

   2. Why are you "partially" apologizing. Do you expect to vindicated...or do you have no idea and will figure it out when everyone else does?

two very valid questions, both of which I would like to know the answer to.

you responded:

do you support TO?  If the response is satisfactory to TO supporters who pay the bills then I think it should be ok with you

first, you dont speak for all truth out supporters and second everyone should think for themselves.

you then asked:

Have you questioned George W. Bush about his sources that fed the WMD lies or 911 sources who warned this administration before 3,000 innocent people were killed?

again, reeks fully of bush administration tactics in the reverse.

you then threw out:

What investigative credentials do you hold, that warrant you to ask such questions?

insinuating the reader has no right to ask such questions.

your truth??? there is no truth in your thought, just lemming like behavior for acceptance on this board. seek the truth, dont just lap up what you are told.

and by the way, EVERYONE deserves to be respected, whether you deem them "important" to you or not. are waiters important to you, do you treat them with respect? what about gas station attendants? anyone who comes here unless spewing venom deserves respect, period. your attitude towards treating people with respect disgusts me.

and finally the "priviledge" of your email address?? see my last post regarding your narcissism.

you've come out of the closet.  Go take a cold shower to cool down your facial flush. Again, all of the above are simply what you perceive.  Servers, I give them the utmost respect, that is if they are hospitable and the service is good.  If not then I politely bring it to their attention because I understand the stress they're working under dealing with the public, who are generally very nasty.  

My daughter is working her way through college as a server.  My son, who is now a regional manager for a national resturant chain started out as a server and worked his way up through the ranks, I always tip above the going rate for gratuity.  There are no more gas station attendants what country are you living in?  You call it narcissism I say it's my choice to choose who I associate with.

You whine like the neocons because I don't view issues your way or according to what you dictate as correct.  Who are you to think that you have the right to dictate how I'm supposed to think or respond?  If you are any indication of what the Liberals have to offer, then you all are in trouble come 11/06 and 08.

spelling and proper grammar merely "semantics" I think you may be the great problem for Liberals in 11/06 and 08.

check yourself emah1, welcome the debate, seek the truth, and don't bully people who dont agree with you. again, you owe ed an apology...

the upcoming elections in Nov. and future elections until there's diversity in party choices.  I think you have much more to be concerned about in this country than my proper use of grammar and spelling.  What's wrong with you Liberals is you're too damn petty and offer zero for an alternative.  I'm sure if edburke sticks around TO we'll have the opportunity to reconcile our differences but again, that's between him and me.

you've made him feel so so so welcome for asking valid questions that I'm sure he'd just LOVE to stick around...

which was my very point at the beginning of this.

what we can do is stand in solidarity with TO and continue to support them through this crisis.  Now, I'm crashing.  Good night.

when I'm on travel to those states I'll be sure to fill up at a full service station especially to treat the attendants with respect.  Will that make you feel better?
