My brand spankin' new response to "the other side"

[johnnie]

For many years I have been frustrating myself by trying to debate issues with republicans, conservatives and the like. I have learned that they do not regard facts as important, get most of their information from cutsie emails, try to yell over top of your voice when you are speaking and typically don't separate issues. They lump all the issues together and follow whatever people like hannity, rush and anne says.

No matter how much you show them facts, they never understand them and go right back to what they were told to think. This is becoming very frustrating and I feel like I am wasting my time with these people so I have come up with a new response whenever they spew their bullshit.

My response from now on will be... "So?"

Whenever I get one of those ridiculous emails telling me that Al Gore told Oliver North in 1925 that Bin Ladin was a great man, Cindy Sheehan gave up her first 20 children in 6 other divorces, George Bush's IQ is 250 but he dims it down to try to be like "one of the guys" or Bill Clinton's penis blah blah blah, instead of deleting them right off as I usually do I am going to respond to all with "So?".

When some idiot gets in my face spouting bullshit like killing sperm is killing God, all of the founding fathers were born again republican Christians and wanted to name the United States "Jesusland" or "we couldn't have evolved from monkeys because not *everybody* likes bananas, instead of confusing them with facts I am just going to respond with "So?".

I figure it will go something like this:

Them: "Hitlery really ran the country because Bill was getting blow jobs"

Me: "So?"

Them: "Well, I am more of a patriot because I drive a yellow car shaped like a bow!"

Me: "So?"

Them: "Yeah.. well george bush is the best president we ever had because he wears a cowboy hat"

Me: "So?"

Them; "You are an asshole!"

Me: "So?"

Them: "It's no use in trying to make you think like me and I hate you and all other liberal scum!"

Me: "So?"


I'm guessing this should make my life a lot easier. I will use my votes, letters, phone calls and other means to make my voice heard. I encourage you to do the same. What's the point in talking to any of them about politics? They have their heads up their ass and will never open their minds enough to learn the truth.

If I piss some friends or family off or make new enemies because of this, all I have to say is... So?

1. So?

:rofl:

[Debau2005]

2. Brillant!

[northzax]

3. Hillary ran the country?

seems she did an excellent job in the 90's, things were good, no? so she's got plenty of practice, let's elect her for real!

oh, they didn't mean that, did they?

[FreedomAngel82]

5. LOL

I'll have to remember that! LOL!

[BOSSHOG]

7. Eight years of peace and prosperity

while her old man was getting head! Not too bad a record. I just love it when "conservatives" talk poorly of blowjobs. Its what they slip into the big town to pay for.

[LisaLynne]

4. That is actually brilliant.

You know why? Because these idiots never have any reasons for what they think. They don't have any arguments or anything to support the things that fly out of their mouths. "So?" challenges them to come up with a reason.

The only drawback is that it could actually make their heads explode which could get messy.

8. I used it last night

This woman I know wouldn't let the funeral thing go. I just started saying "So?" "So?" "So?"... she hung up on me..LOL.

6. I love what Begala said on Colbert Report

The difference between Democratic and Republican scandals:

"We do sex, they do greed. Maybe our message should be "they grab your wallet, we just grab your wife." :rofl:

10. monica wasnt married...

9. a Jealous monk was harassing the Buddha and made a hateful angry statement

rather than debate the nonsence he replied..

"If you give me a gift and i do not accept it, who owns the gift.".?

[johnnie]

14. I remember that one

:thumbsup:

I love Buddhism philosophy. It's so to the point.

[northzax]

16. you do, fool.

the act of giving removes the giver from the responsibility of ownership. The fact that you are too snobbish and pigheaded to accept my gift (what sort of person turns down a gift given honestly? how loutish) doesn't excuse you from the responsibility of care.

[sam sarrha]

18. you sound like a freeper, no one is required to accept a gift.. UtheFool

if your disagree i have a morgage debt i wish to give you minus the property.

[northzax]

19. you cannot give what you do not own

passing on debt is much more freeperish.

Where I come from it is a gross insult to refuse a gift freely given.

[sam sarrha]

20. dont care where you are from, shit is shit when given freely, i dont want

it and i dont have to take it under duress.. just please a narcissistic and/or abusive person.

this is a free country, i am not controlled by you or anybody like you..

[northzax]

21. of course not

I would never deem to control you, if you want to be an asshole, that is your right, it's a free country.

[northzax]

22. of course not

I would never deem to control you, if you want to be an asshole, that is your right, it's a free country.

11. excellent idea....

you are not going to change these folks "MINDS".

12. 'so' as a response always brings the conversation up short. eom

[johnnie]

13. Exactly

It gets real old listening to them yappin' their crap.

[EC]

15. I've given up and resorted to this too,

I even went so far as to show the truth to my boss on the DOD and SOS websites and he says "I still don't believe it" even though I present him the proof from the governments own web-site, including the Patriot Act, he would rather believe what Rush and company tells him. He says the Dems are putting up those so called govenment web-sites. It's just that these people are STUPID SHEEP...and the elder ones just don't get that the web-sites for the gov. are set up by their government, not someone just pretending to be the gov. - it is frustrating how unimformed and STUPID these people are. If we don't get anywhere by 2008, I say great let's go for splitting the country and the hell with them...

17. Or "HUH?"

Huh?
