Am I a horrible person? Re. if you could punch one cleleb

[T J]

Hi everyone. Wanted to talk to you, I’ve had several beers today, I’m enjoying the holidays, hope you are too. I just responded to the thread if you could punch one cleleb. In the thread someone responded with Bush and being a Republican I had to put in Obama. I actually wouldn’t because I’m not a fan of violence, I responded to be contrary. I know 90% of everyone who posts here are Democrats and I expect to catch a little crap for how I think, been dealing with it all my life why change things now right?

I copied and pasted the Obama’s name from Google because I was too buzzed to too figure I’d get it right myself, then I make the unforgivable mistake of getting that wrong. I’m human, screw up. From that I get responses that bring into question my intelligence and things like it speak VOLUMES about me.

Are the posters here so judgmental that my simple mistake and the fact that I’m a Republican really make me such a seemingly horrible person? Sure I’m not a fan of what Bush has done but I’m still a Republican. My voice should still be heard. I thought Democrats were evolved tolerant kind forward thinking people. Will my very being be called into question because I’m different?

As a Republican Star Trek Fan should I fear speaking my mind when I know my thoughts are not the majority. Is this the kind of change you claim to bring? Why the hate? Was the Democratic message a lie to further some agenda I’m too thick to want to understand? I’m an American citizen and a fellow human. Does the fact I’m different mean I deserve derision and scorn. If I can't find the love here then where should I go?


In short, am I as horrible a person as some here seem to think? I want to embrace all no matter what beliefs, why won’t you embrace me?

You're not a horrible person, just wrong. Nah, just kidding, you're a good guy. And everyone is entitled to their opinions.

And you're doing it wrong, it's TITS!

Jugs!

A minute ago, you were telling me how right I was... How things change.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

I also change like the winds too.


Hmmm, maybe that means that i simply blow ...

Hey, I'd rather be wrong than a horrible person.

Well like i said, i don't think you're a horrible person. You have your own opinions, just like the rest of us.

Can we get back onto the utterly vital topic of punching celebrities in the face and leave the hand-wringing at the door?

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Is that your fist coming to get us?!

So, do you want to punch Obama because you're a republican, or because you simply don't like him?

Did you as a republican feel hurt that someone wanted to punch your leader that you responded by doing the same towards the president-elect, or was it just nonsence as the rest of the thread.

There's no difference in saying you want to punch Obama in a "fun" thread than it is to say that you want to punch Paris Hilton..

So, the question is rather this. Do you really want to punch him?, if yes, then yeah, you're a bad person. If no, then all you did was have some fun in a humorous thread, that doesn't make you a bad person.

Yes, you're a horrible person for being a Republican and if you got run over be a manure truck, I would only shed tears if I didn't get to see it.

Seriously, though, no. I think people reacted the way they did because Obama hasn't even been sworn into office yet. He hasn't done anything to you, he hasn't done anything to the country, and yet you dislike him on principle. Also, you couldn't bother to get his name right, either by knowing it enough to write it from memory or to recognize that the copy/paste was wrong. Also, a lot of people take issue when people seem to make a point of his middle name, thus trying to emphasize a connection to Islam and terrorism, which is simply untrue.

No, you're not a terrible person for it... but other than the fact that he's a Democrat and you're a Republican, do you have any REASON for disliking him? What has he done to you other than beat John McCain?

Also, you're probably wrong that 90% of the people here are Democrats. Most, from what I've seen, are liberal-leaning independents like myself.

Yes.

Names have been taken and when the revolution begins, you will all be at the front of the queue for the guillotine.


(PS. no "do you like me???" style topics here. They make moderators want to punch people)
