fuck michael moore. i'm not trying to be like anyone. 75% of ALL texans. ALL texans ALL AGES. you need to chill the hell out. weren't you the one that agreed w/ TTA when he said people bashed others for having different views in here? there's no way in hell i could come up with an acurate statistic, i am just going by the people i know in texas. i know a lot of texans from a lot of different areas. i'm not an authority, i never claimed to be, i'm just making the point that a lot of people in texas dislike bush. people make the generalization that ALL texans love bush, and therefor bush haters tend to bash texas. my point was that some of the people in texas share the same views as the bush haters so they shouldn't generalize. let people make their points w/o beating your disagreeance over everyone's head.


perhaps if you just said "most people i know don't like Bush" this would have never happened. In the internet semantics reign supreme and what you intended to say typically never come out that way unless you use careful wording. A single 75%, caused an extra page of debates... I should know I have had to explain myself numerous times on here to explain "what i meant"

it's the freaking internet. i'm just saying not all texans are bush supporters in response to everyone who makes comments like:

"maybe in texas...but i can assure you a lot of people were against it." and "being gangraped by Texans here lol"

is everyone here THIS nit-picky when it comes to making a point? i don't think i should have to explain myself. obviously i made up a statistic, my point was that young texans, at least the ones i've talked to (there have been quite a few) are generally NOT supportive of bush. here in dallas, teens who like bush are in the minority. it seems to me like you can't make a statement w/o someone calling you a douchebag or a moron for disagreeing. it's ridiculous. i'm starting to remember now why i hardly ever post in here anymore...

(edit- neil i do appreciate your suggestion, i just think people are being too agressive and taking things too seriously....the point of this forum is to debate, not attack eachother...)

someone should start asking kerry HOW

HOW is he going to do this
HOW is he going to do that

all he has been saying is that he would have this and would have that

do remember that it is easier to complain than offer a solution

heh, yeah i know, i understood what you meant personally about the comment. Sometimes its hard for people to know if you meant something as a fact or as sarcasm, etc. Hah if you think this is attacking you should read back a few months into the palestinian vs. israeli threads
