guinevere last time I looked GW Bush hadnt sent 6 million jewish people in to gas ovens and turned their bones in to glue so I think your analogy made a pretty bad turn.

A limosine liberal speaks about how he or she is all for the poor while living a limosine lifestyle. Hence when a libaeral calls other people greedy while making 40 million dollars in a year via book deals or speaking engagements they might be called that. Or a black congress lady who speaks about oil conservation but rides 2 blocks to and from congress in limosines every day.

Woodpecke@, my point is that I do think sometimes political beliefs can be enough of a reason to dislike a person - if those political beliefs are offensive enough to me.

Clear now?

Thanks, Guinevere, for putting up with us horrible republicans. It feels so good to know that you are "capable of getting along with" us. Maybe I should send all of my democratic friends flowers for putting in the extra effort it must take to be my friend.

Thanks, Theo, for the explanation of limousine liberal. I wasn't very clear on that. And, it makes me agree with Gerry - I don't like them either.

He was speaking about the foreign parents of his students. I saw it as intollerance or at least his unwillingness to understand their cultures and help them to recognize the values that we hold in this country. Many of these foreign students come from cultures alien to ours and hold beliefs that are contrary to our beliefs. To take an attitude of if you dont like it go home to me is intollerant and is not helpful to the student or its parents.

There was a whole thread discussing this on the boards.

Hosewater, your post doesn't merit a response.

guin hitler went way beyond right wing or left wing. He was just a murdering monster. If you said I hate all people that like hitler I would understand. If you said I hate all people that like GW bush I wouldnt. By the way 70% of America approves of GW Bush so if thats the way you think you will be hating millions of Americans you do not even know.

Nope. There is no evidence that Gerry is a Right_wing Republican, and as a matter of fact, he definitely has acted in a very left-wing manner. I dislike Limousine Liberals, they are phony and without any true base. I could name 10 in government right now.

Theo, I was using an extreme example to make my point - sorry it didn't work for you. I wasn't comparing Dumbya to Hitler.

Speaking of anologies, what does the fact that the figurative congresswoman is black have to do with anything?

Hosewater

Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 02:02 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
wanted to kill all Jews and take over the world and turn it into an empire

I missed this... When did Gerry say he wanted to do that?

Wow, I think Maris might be right.

guin I stated her color because I did not remember her name and thought somebody else would.It was news about 3 months ago. Her color makes no difference to the reference. I may be black myself for all you know.

Gerry never said that Hosewater. Re-read the thread.

Hosewater FYI--it wasn't Maris who has previously spoken of Gerry's looks and how they feel about him because of those looks--that was a different poster. (they have also posted about the looks of other contestants in the new Survivor section)

Anyone who prefers Marcellas over Gerry is NOT in their right mind.

That's not my opinion. That's just a fact.


P.S. Sometimes I kid. I'm a kidder.

I agree with the Marcellus statement. By the way, Hosewater, you are making me work way too hard. LOL!

This is off topic to a degree but I just wanted to throw it out there that GW's approval ratings have slipped under 70% in 3/4 of the polls that I just looked at. Many are near 70%, but he is slipping. Also, the more recent the poll, the lower his approval rating.

Hey Gerry fans.... Shhhh... Don't tell anybody, but I think we successfully hijacked this "I Hate Gerry" thread.

Good job everyone!

Come to think of it, I hate Gerry because he reminds me of what I'll probably look like in 15 years.

LOL, Hosewater. I hate Gerry because he reminds me of what I'm going to be married to in 30 years! (just teasing - I love my hubby)

That is funny, I always suspected that there was an element of thread hijacking going on in this board. It is good to know that my instincts were correct.

I am sorry to hear there are so many people who are so emotionally involved that they would hate a houseguest. Me I just dislike him along with a few other HGs.

Actually it's been turned into a discussion of good points and bad points of the two major political parties and occasional shots at each other.

It all started off as an "innocent" thread for anti-Gerry folks to say their good-byes to him in their own special way.

The one good thing that will happen should Gerry be evicted is that all threads related to him will be moved to the "outside the house" section, and folks will have to find another HG to rag on.

No hate here. Except a little contempt for Hitler. And a distaste for limousine liberals.
