Republicans and democrats don't understand each other

[jeremyrh]

Well, James, you won't tell us where you live or how old you are, so as far as I know you may be an eight year old Cambodian.

So could you. And it wouldn't make your argument stronger or weaker. As it is, we only have your words to judge you on.

[LesPalenik]

Tell that to "The Usual Suspects" - Scandinavia, Canada, Australia, NZ. 
You know, the ones that consistently score highest on the "least corrupt country" lists.

I was thinking more about Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea and some of the ex-Soviet republics.

Sure. But those countries don't have the benefit of having been colonies of the USA.

[Rob C]

Would you be prepared to clarify that statement?

"... Elizabeth Warren who walks like a duck."......  Alan K.

Well, Peter, I believe it's like this:

You walk like an Egyptian

Easy. Even a Republican could do, it if they really, really tried!

[Jeremy Roussak]

Then they'll knock off Elizabeth Warren who walks like a duck.

That's strange. I thought that level of comment was proscribed in the Forum Rules.

No, it's too infantile to be worthy of censure.

Apart from which, it provides moments of amusement for me as I think of musical analogies.

Speaking of something too infantile to be worthy of censure, did anyone on here watch the two-day Democrat clown show? These folks are making Karl Marx look like a hard right conservative.

No, we were too busy watching Trump kiss Putin's ass at the G20 summit.

Hahahaha. They make such a cute couple. It’s very sweet.

[LesPalenik]

Hahahaha. They make such a cute couple. It’s very sweet.

Even sweeter picture would be the two of them with Kim Jong-un. Very photogenic and a most charming trio.
Preferably bare chested riding horses.

Add in bin Salman and you have a real love-fest.

That's strange. I thought that level of comment was proscribed in the Forum Rules.

You are right. Forum rules allow only insulting the current president of the US, not a candidate for the same.

[Alan Klein]

No, we were too busy watching Trump kiss Putin's ass at the G20 summit.

Oops.  I think your kind of comment is proscribed in the forum rules.  Now you'll have to go stand in the corner with me. 

[Martin Kristiansen]

You are right. Forum rules allow only insulting the current president of the US, not a candidate for the same.

Well it’s not like the current president of the US is at all reticent about dishing out gratuitous insults to all and sundry. You live by it you die by it.

Here we go again, the tired trope. You are missing the point of what I wrote. The point being that it is accepted as free speech to criticise public figures, including mocking, and if we can do it for Trump on this forum, we can do it for Warren just as well.

And you are missing my point which is not that it fair to insult any public figure, because I don’t believe that, but it is with a public figure that trades in that type of insult on a regular basis.

Anyway can’t believe I’m getting into a debate between insulting Warren and Trump. They even look like siblings.

Crocodile tears, Slobo. I hadn't noticed you holding back from criticising anyone?

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

Another one missing the point. Where was it that I was arguing against criticising, or mocking, public figures, including Trump?

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

Only if one considers Putin a hemorrhoid

[Peter McLennan]

I was thinking more about Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea and some of the ex-Soviet republics.

All of which are dictatorships.  Dictatorships are not necessarily socialist.  Some are merely criminal enterprises.
