pBills Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Oh no? Unions dont use us vs. them rhetoric? Go look up some of Trumka's quotes? Whats a strike, but the ULTIMATE strong-arm tactic? Give us what we want or we will mount a massive bad PR casmpaign against you." And Im sure when I was a kid and my pop got a new job, the nightly calls from the union bosses imploring him to join the union or else were just nice calls. I dont insinuate they are thugs. I outright say it. And Ive used those little things called FACTS AND EXAMPLES to prove my point. Try it sometime. Its called perspective you dummy. Look up the meaning. Heres you answer...I refuse to be told to "tone it down" by the same cretins who made a cottage industry out of tearing down the last Republican president. And like I said...using that stupid little thing called history to provide perspective, the "rhetoric" out there today is outright mild. Some unions do use strength in numbers (membership) in order to reach an agreement. Sure. That being said to label all union members as thugs is stupid. I highly doubt your father received calls on a nightly basis to join or else. Give me a break. Both my parents are union members... they have NEVER said to anyone join or else. I know hundreds more union members who do not do that. So your "facts" are skewed.. no well they are just wrong. I will state again. what happened 200 years ago means absolutely nothing to what is being said today. Nothing. And to say that things shouldn't change because of back then is even dumber. Basically saying society shouldn't grow or strive to have civility because there was some lack of it back then. I do love that every Republican that is against this also says "well, they didn't use civility when Bush was in office" sniff, sniff. I have stated that I think the posters demonizing him were wrong, I also think stating Obama is this huge anti-white, non-american, socialist who is out to get you and yours is wrong as well. YET, you feel as though that is fine right. HAHAHA... cry about Bush yet it's ok to do it Obama. At least I can say I think BOTH are wrong. So um.....was that an Obama pep rally yesterday? Seems like everyone was pretty happy there. Wounder what they were celebrating, everyone was giddy and ready to party. Granted I found it weird that people were cheering on a bit much... but at the same time. You never know what will happen when a community comes together after such violence. I don't think they should have all just sat there and cried either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RkFast Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Not to Godwin the thread...ok, I DO want to Godwin it, but try telling the Jews what happenned in the past "means nothing." History has no significance and lends no perspective, huh? And I like your argument style...dont post facts of you own....instead change the statement people made to something else, and argue against THAT. Youre BEYOND "idiot."

How is it a bad thing to hope that people will be smarter about their statements knowing full well that morons out their in society may be taking every word as if it came from the bible? So in your mind it's ok that people can demonize others, spread lies or skew the truth. All of that is fine right? You would think that people would want and expect their elected officials to act a certain way, to not demonize, etc., etc. It's sad that you don't want that because of what happened 200 years ago. History does have significance... however I am not going to base my actions on what people did 200 years ago. No way, no how. Actions should be based on what is appropriate to the here and now. Anything other than that, in my mind is just making excuses for inexcusable actions/statements. So in other words... stop making excuses and expect a higher level of discourse.

When a "normal" community comes together after a mass murder they don't cheer "we love you!" This thing should not have been held it at a University. This sounded less like a memorial for a tragedy and more like a politcal pep rally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
