I consider myself part of OWS, but I have to say, the demeanor of some around here is very aggressive, on both the conservative and liberal sides. Let me give an example:
"Free Bias Checker: count the number of Congress standing ovations to Zetanyahoo,and your meek Obama kowtow to Tel Aviv. Then see which of your news would question or even mention that demeaning day when USA crawled and lick ass juice."
There are many more examples, and that's not even the worst. I understand you're angry, and I am too. But how do you expect to win anybody over this way? You're just working to polarize our movement from people who genuinely want to know more, or are on the edge.
I don't characterize myself as a marijuana smoking, unemployed, violent hippy (like they say on Fox News), but I can see where somebody could be mistaken from all the unbelievably vulgar and aggressive comments I see around here.
America is watching, don't gouge out her eyes.
Yes, I agree. I have to, I'm one of those rude assholes, and I can get spirited and wound up in a debate, or calling bullshit on a troll. But I'm honest about it. What's better, brutal honesty, or sugar-coated lies?
I don't know about you, but I'd rather have the uncut, brutal honesty, & that's what I give. No more, no less. What's happening to our world is brutal, no ifs ands or buts about that, and that shit has got to go. If a change for the better is to be made, then no kidding anyone about it.
