I didn't say I didn't care for football I said "I don't know much about it" I don't follow it, I like the big games (Superbowl ect) it's not just fooball I am the same way with baseball, I watch baseball on the news you see all the goodstuff in a few minutes.

I stumbled onto it and wanted to rub elbows with all these College guys, I've learned some big words since I came on here.

QuiGon, however we might describe NEM, he is definitely NOT a typical liberal.

I gave an example, not a cherry pick.

You gave a blanket response.

Why ban links from any (legal) site? Why do you want to do that? If you provide a link to a site with which I don't agree generally, I read the link. Sometimes I agree with it, and it makes me think.
As a general example, I used to be very pro-choice. However, the more I read on the issue, the less sure I am. I am starting to see the foetus as a baby and therefore as a human life. As another example, I used to believe in socialism. Now, I believe that the free market is the best economic system.
I came to this conclusion by reading, researching, speaking to people and so on. At some point in your life, you might actually want to challenge your own beliefs, rather than keep trying to "win arguments", however you define that, exactly.

So, have you learned what a crossing pattern is yet, Harry?

Well said, as long as a link is posted we can look and make our own decisions on the content. The idea of making all the links on a political board, vanilla is silly. One can learn alot about the perspective of others by looking at their sources of information.

YouTube is annoying politically. Anyone can paint any scenario they wish with YouTube...it's a Michael Moore playground. It exists for entertainment and that's what it should exist for...nothing more...and that goes for the liberals and the conservatives both...I won't watch and I don't go to the site...it's media for grade school intellect.

I'd add World Net Daily, Fox News, Free Republic and the Washinton Times to the Repub side of the ledger.
