"I will only say this: Its time to clean this place up! You have made this place a tragic representation of the view of the City of Wichita....Is that what you people want? Libs and Cons??..." 


Each line is from SEPARATE posts by the NIC
SquarePeg:

… if you like sex with young girls so much, that compound in TX must sound like heaven on earth to you!!
You must need your vision checked, unless you are normally this stupid.
THEME SONG FOR MAX’S DAILY RANT
Beber must you be a total pervert all the time?
Either you must be dense, or your hormones need adjusted
Hormone problem, Max? Or is it a mental problem?
Max is a racist/sexist SOB.
OR is Amway just another sexist right wing nut who cant handle a woman being President??
suspect Hud suffers from Anal Retinitis
And I also suspect Hud cannot Read
Anal Retinitis means your Anal nerve is connected to your Retinal nerve, and it gives you a Sh**ty outlook on life
the rest of the geek brigade seem to have this rather stupid, idiotic
your brain, if you have one
Ooops, that was a dumb question.
Now if you geek brigade people can just get that through your small minds
Did somebody tell you that you own this Blog or did you just decide it for yourself?
do hope you imbeciles have fun!! Good job on killing a Thread!! A$$Holes
you are a sorry excuse for a human being


(Square Peg, based upon your own rhetoric, you should really stop posting on the blog.)</description>

		<description>Shouldn't things being argued about have premises that have a basis in fact?  Otherwise how does one avoid the fallacy of &lt;i&gt;argumentum ad ignorantum&lt;/i&gt;.  I was going to say we, but instead will say, you, could argue about whether or not the earth was seeded with DNA.  We have no way of knowing this and thus it would be a surperbly stupid waste of time.  

We can make hypotheses about the relationships among unknowns and in many cases test these relationships to then determine the accuracy of our predictions.  This cannot be done with matters of faith and I believe you cheapen matters of faith when you try to argue about them.  And doing so amounts to trollish behavior on your part.

Thank you.</description>

		<description>Squarepeg,

Just as I have told Linda every time she says her opinion line...

An opinion can be wrong.  An opinion is not immune from being argued against.  Calling something an opinion is not some magic wand of immunity.</description>

		<description>Chas, 

Tell me if this sounds familiar.

You sit down in the computer for a few minutes, hoping to whip up a quick blog post. Then an idea hits you. It’s vague at first, but it has a certain sparkle of possibility. You start constructing a post, becoming more convinced with every word that you’re onto something.

The feeling grows and grows until your fingers are flying across the keyboard. The words are flowing, and you’re saying exactly what you want to say, exactly the way you want to say it. You bring the post to a close with an ending that you can only describe as, “Perfect,” and then pause to read what you’ve written.

A smile spreads across your face. It’s clever, original… brilliant. You only hesitate for a second before posting it to your blog. “I can’t wait to see what they say about that,” you think. You walk away from the computer, sure you’ve written a masterpiece.

A couple of hours pass and you come back to reread your post. As you scan through it, you feel a weight in the pit of your stomach. This post isn’t brilliant. It’s arrogant, disconnected, and desperate for attention. 

“What was I thinking?” you ask yourself. And I’ll tell you: you weren’t thinking. You were drunk on your own words.

		<description>Wow,  what a  bunch  of  religious  mumbo  jumbo!!  I  sort of like  what  PMama  said...   Religion is  the  main  culprit!!  

Nathan  attacks  Chas.  Chas  stands  up  for his  beliefs,  which  are  different  from Nathan,  as are the  beliefs of  many.  Then  Nathan's  right wing  nut  friends  attack  Chas  for  being  un-pastorly things. (Thanks CapN  -  I like  that  word)   Un-pastorly  to  call out  lies??  Un-pastorly to call out hypocrisy?  

Now,  I  am  pretty  much  soured on  religion,  and  God,  and  all that  junk.  But I ccan  see  an  ambush  when I  see one.   

KsGrm  posted  a  bunch of  political  hype  about  that  crazy  lady in  colorado.   KsGrm  posted  on  this  Blog  that  this  crazy  nut in  Colorado,  is/was  an  Obama  Delegate.  As if her  vote  in  a  Democrat Caucusd had  anything  to  do  with  this  travesty going on  in  TX.  

That is  a  stupid and ignorant  Flame  to attempt to somehow  connect  Obama  to  the  Mormon  crap  in  TX.   That is  not only  bad politics,  it is  intentional  LYING,  and  dishonesty.  

And  some of you  had  a  problem with  Chas  retaliating  at  KsGrm,  by  calling her a  Wench?

I  could  find a  few  words to  add to  that one,  but  I  wont!  

I will only  say this:   Its  time to clean this  place up!  You  have  made this  place  a  tragic representation of  the  view of  the City of Wichita.  

People do read  things like  this  when  making  decisions  to  move here, or  work  here,  or  even  bring in  new  businesses.  If  they  see  the kind of  thing  going  on like  this  Blog,  they might  well move  their interests  to  Salina,  or  Hutchinson,  or  Dodge City,  or  Garden City,  or  even  to  Oklahoma,  or  Missouri.   

Is  that what you people  want?  Libs  and  Cons??

For  some of  you,  I  wouldnt  doubt it.  But  for others of you,  I  hardly  see  that  as  any of your  motive!

If you  disagree,  fine!!  Disagree!  Just leaver GOD  out of  it!!   God  didnt  do it!  And  many of  us  could  care  less!  

Disagree??   FINE!!  Do  it!   But  dont  imagine for  ONE minute that  the person with  whom you  disagree  is  any  more  wrong or  right  than  you  are!!   Thats  why  they  call it  opinion!!

If you  make  some  sort of  allegation, be prepared to  back it up with  some kind of  Link,  or  else  just  call it  opinion,  and  move on!!  And,  never,  ever,  demand  a link  from  someone  else,  if  you  are  not  prepared  to  offer your own links  when  asked!

Get it?   It's  really  that  easy  folks!!  

It  sure  is  saddening  to  come  on  to  this  Blog  after  a  long  weekend  road  trip,  and  find  this  kind of  meaningless  mess!

Good nite to all you yo-yo's!</description>

		<description>Belated P.S. But, just for the record, those who attack the unfortunate for merely receiving public assistance are &lt;b&gt; scum &lt;/b&gt;. 

It's one thing to mistakenly believe such a thing. It's quite another to believe that it's a defensible reason to attack someone.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt; Good night all. Haven’t see an opinion for hours.Just beating up on each other, insults, and typical late night flaming. &lt;/i&gt;

Aw, c'mon, AW. Yeah, there's been the usual biting comments etc. but--honestly--this is the most civil open thread I've seen in quite a while.

I'm uneasy about the Jay/writerdog exchange. Maybe &lt;i&gt; you &lt;/i&gt; didn't know any better either. Sorry for the earlier flame, then. Excrement occurs. Let's consider that corrected, and call it a day.</description>

		<description>CapnAmerica has stated on a couple of occassions how he doesn't like posters to insult or beat up on women posters. Something about fighting words.

Guess that does not apply if the woman is not a liberal. O.K., to beat up on gram and call her offensive names?

Libs gaff that off. No gentlemen conduct.

		<description>when you do Rage, let me know your thoughts on it. 

I will tell you a couple of places where I think subjects in the movie were overdone or where Stein went too far.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt; Actually, I like Rage. On this subject though, he has his blinders on and is walking the Darwinist walk. &lt;/i&gt;

I suppose I'm a tad impatient, as this has been discussed and discussed and discussed. 

I also don't care much for giving my money to those people, considering their tactics. But I'll try to see the movie, for what it's worth.</description>

Those are some good numbers.

I will venture:

1.  9 posts.

2.  1 more good night.</description>

		<description>Well outlander I don't have the luxury of posting all day.

   I have a life.

   Care to refute ANYTHING I have posted?

   Or shall we just start trading shots?

    And James?

    Just how many nics do you have? WHY don't any of them come to meet me?

     And now Nathan wants to be there?

    Gotta think on that one.

     I'd like to see Steven. I'd like to see you and your many nics in one place at one time.

    The guy who lies about me and his gun AND you who has threatened to kill me?

    Not so much.</description>

		<description>KansasNative I was taught a version of that years ago 'When we have hate in ourselves it only hurts the vessel holding it'

Are you someone that has posted under a different name. I was out a few weeks and several changed names?</description>
