Omega... 1. broad strokes cover the actual item, and a whole area around it, so you are right there... Mountain and Mole Hill idea here...
2. He could claim to have wanted to prevent the problems the Palistinians are having with Israel, or sided with any number of Arab and/or Islamic nations. If allowed to continue his genocide the USS Liberty incident wouldn't have happened, Yom Kippur, the 6 Day War, etc wouldn't have happened, the Middle East may be the most stable region in the world...
Point of view.....

You can always tell adolescents, they nitpick to the point of obsessiveness. Yes, Omeychops didn't actually demand anything, he said:
quote:Maybe we should set it up where the presidential appointees are automatically in, unless SPECIFICALLY blocked? It'd keep people from pulling stunts like this, and force them to explain exactly WHY the judges were being blocked.
. . . however, I was being facetious. It's a perfectly valid reaction to someone who has endlessly defended, say, the ineffable carving in stone in the Constitution of the right to bear arms, yet in the quote above is actually proposing something that erodes away at the very democratic principles the document is founded on.
I guess we should expect nothing less from someone who once said (again, I'm paraphrasing - think of it as another of theose broad strokes that eren't entirely without merit) "I do everything the Bible tells me, apart from a few areas where it could be improved, like being more explicit in the utter damnation of homosexuals."

This sounds like he said that he is a homosexual, because the Bible isn't explicit enough....

Really? Must be some sort of cultural difference, it seems to make sense to me. Mind you, I used the phrase "out of interest" (as in "out of curiosity") when asking a question on another BB the other day and the person I was addressing assumed I meant I wasn't actually interested.

He's regressing. He hasn't used the old "you made one small grammatical mistake in your last post, thereby invalidating everything you've ever said to anyone in the world ever, so I don't need to ackowledge your post, let alone try to argue against it, look I've got my fingers in my ears, la la la, I can't hear you" gambit (othewise known as the "dog ate my homework" tactic) in at least, what, six months? This is what happens when you stop actively not wanting to lust and start trying to acquire sexual favours with peanut butter & jelly sandwiches.

No, it happens when you're talking to a jerk who constantly misunderstands posts that a third grader could grasp.

Well, we've known that for quite a while Omega, it's just good to see you're able to take a semi-objective look at yourself. I don't think it is neccessary for you to call yourself an idiot, however.
