There have been a handful of threads put on here in the last 3 or 4 days that have been plagued with overblown statements with little or no basis in any facts. We can all turn on any cable news station if thats what we are looking for. Just throwing it out there.

Could this be one of the statements you are talking about. It's myopic, pompous, and lacking a single shred of understanding in terms of American society. You also have one message comparing drug companies to the anti-Christ.

That is absolutely paltry in American society. I feel absolutely no sympathy for someone in this scenario. That drug has every reason to be twice as expensive, as far as I am concerned. That is a cheap orgasm in a bottle, a total steal of a deal.

the thing that cracks me up, is people will bash bush for every single thing on the planet, but bash one of their idols, and its like you kicked their puppy
if youre going to put on your big boy pants and big girl skirt and enter the N&D forum, then be prepared to see things you dont agree with
between pd, gv, lw, ara, orpheus, the evil bunny and myself, we pretty much have the whole spectrum of opinions and views covered, noone is ever going to agree with everyone, thank GOD. if you cant deal with people having a differring opine as you, and only want people who will agree with you, then shut the fuck up about bush doing the same thing

I agree; I'll see if I can find some more who want to step in every once in a while to keep everybody in check.
one thing that occurs to me is that since this is an internet message board, we lose some important aspects of conversation: facial expressions, body language, tone.
i think in some cases a bit of hyperbole helps make a point that might otherwise be ignored or misread.

Of course you could ignore those hyperbolic posts as well. This is as bad as people who act as the grammar police.

I've seen how people in here argue and I don't see me keeping anyone "in check" but if I get the chance by god I'll take it
