42. Let me speak up for you.
We need reporters to ask the President the real questions. We need politicians to do the same. We need Galloway and Gallagher to go on tour together.

might accidently slip details about project X. Not saying this project exists, but if it did we would have to be careful. :)

Seriously, though, what are you alluding too?

Edited on Sat Oct-08-05 03:26 AM by jzodda
First off if nobody is telling the truth then why don't you enlighten us?

Next this board is not lacking in people who refuse to speak their minds about anything. We have all kinds of viewpoints here, some even a little extreme-at least by my standards. What I am trying to say with so many people speaking out about something you still think people here have no balls? This is the first post like this I have read here.

Now if you mean insulting each other like the Jerry Springer show style or threatning violence against Bush and stuff-well thats not allowed and those posts get deleted anyway.

So again like I said in the title, your post is just plain stupid.

things right... I'm still relatively new myself. And of course you are wrong.

22. We know Bush has balls. Remember when he was too stupid to
unhook his parachute harness and paraded around the deck of the aircraft carrier like a chicken on crack? He had his balls stretched up to his belly button!

37. To be 101% honest with you...
...here at DU I am new, but I've been reading here and at KOS/Buzz/Indy etc. since Bush's inauguration last Jan. I've seen people post things here--and then I've seen them 'disappear'. I had a friend who was a member, made what they thought was an innocuous comment, and got banned. No chance to explain, nobody even said why--I mean, maybe it was just a misunderstanding, but nobody here even ASKED.

If you REALLY want me to be honest with you--and I'd LOVE to be--I'm afraid to post all the different things I think because, if someone with more posts than I have (which is just about everyone!) takes offense, or doesn't like what I've said, I'm afraid I'll be gone (I might well be kicked out for THIS post--I'm taking a big chance).

If you REALLY think 'many people are afraid to say the truth', you may be right. The second question you need to ask yourself is WHY.

give it a try
If you abide by the posted rules, you'll be ok..
If you stray, you'll be reminded and referred to the posted rules...
If your post is deleted, you can ask the mods why.(in a private post)
If you are tombstoned...... you'll probably deserve it.

Perhaps your friend's comment wasn't as "innocuous" as he/she told you it was...

52. You might think no one asked because ... to ask in public is
a violation of the rules and could be a tombstoning offense itself. Questioning the actions of the mods or admins is always best done in private. How could you know for sure that no one did pose the question IN PRIVATE as the rules require?

Blanket assumptions are not a way to move a conversation forward. Members are not allowed to post, in public, about banned members, period. That is the truth.

See, even without balls, I can find some truth to post about. :)

39. Seriesly? That would be HUGH1!!1
Um, which truth are you looking for?

Perhaps the truth as told by Sibel Edmunds? Or are you looking more for the Gannon brand of truth? Or how about the PNAC version of truth? I learned about all three flavors here.

The sad state is that few know the truth, myself included. I wish I did know the truth, I would shout it from the roof-tops. The best we can do is piece together the half-truths we are fed into an approximation.

40. So much depends on what you mean by truth
If the truth is humility then we all learn by dying.

If the truth is nobility then we all learn by loving.

If the truth is a static preconception, like 1==1, a
mathematical absolute, is that not itself a preconception
itself to be questioned by deeper truth.

What of the truth of the self who inquires?

What of the truth of the reader, the only living
thing in *THIS* moment.

Who's on first? :-)

Why some jerks publish attack posts with no clue as to what they are attacking so as to avoid offending people who might take umbrage at their attack.

53. I guess the original post only applies to mind readers. Everyone else go
back to what you were doing earlier.

Either that, or you forgot to paste the relevant part of your post in the OP, the part that explains WTF you're talking about. An example or two might help for any of us with a last name other than Kreskin.
