Senate debates Health Care Bill

Well, I suppose that is possible. And seeing as I am not throwing around insults with the occasional correction, I don’t know why it would cause so much pain.

I have DiFi, so I think I can relate….

Yes, it is unfortunate when people call others assholes.

You might want to drop the violin.

I am not going to ban you.

I am not certain that I could.

But you have no business calling me an asshole.

Are you certain of that?

I find Senate rules so obscure.

This is not the last cloture vote?

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 7:24 pm

Now that is just naughty.

Happy to answer your questions:

Is it “necessary” to correct spelling? No. Let me ask you a question: What sort of adult is wounded by simple corrections of spelling? I don’t write “what, were you home schooled”.

Is it “necessary” to tell people that they are off topic in a discussion that I am leading? (And I was perfectly civil about it) Yes. That is the whole point. To move toward an answer to a question. Answers to other questions do not advance the goal.

Yes, I am one of the charter members of this site.

I don’t know what you mean by “lighten up”. I was asking HITO if she could explain why it matters where I live? But if I hurt your feelings, I am sorry.

I don’t want anyone to leave. But I also don’t want people to challenge the validity of other’s opinions on frivolous and insulting grounds.

You are free to have a differing opinion. This is a political debate site. It is not a universal group hug. We need to be civil to each other, but if you need ointment on your bunions, I may not be the guy to ask.

And calling me an asshole is against the rules. You should not do that.

Kalima, I am just explaining that it is not cricket to dismiss people’s comments based on where they live.

Really a small detail.

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 7:08 pm

Seriously. As if the Feds are not going to cover the bill.

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 7:06 pm

I grew up with dogs. Now I just can’t stand them. Too needy.

But that is me.

I love Jon Stewart’s impersonations of him and his whinny mumbling.

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 7:02 pm

It is not permitted to refer to another poster here as an asshole.

Anyway, where were we? Oh, yeah.

The Dem party’s primary initiative just passed the last hurdle, and we will have a bill to defend in 2010.

Me, I think it will go well. With a little luck, KSM will have been convicted by then. That would be cool.

(I passed on that straight line.)

The city objects to people having more then three.

Of course, I might lose my mind if I did have more than three.

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 6:57 pm

Absolutely.

And I want to hear your opinion even if you don’t live in NY.

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 6:55 pm

Fine. Just as long as we don’t get any of this “some of the animals are more equal than the others”.

I had enough of that elsewhere.

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 6:51 pm

Javez, I thought I was clear:

I object to having my comments dismissed because I am not a resident of the state the action is happening in.

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 6:49 pm

Well, that is a fine response.

Like I could not have empathy with NY and it’s finances? My state is bankrupt as well. Do you want to have a cry-fest, or shall we just discuss the issues of the day without personalizing them?

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 6:47 pm

Fine. I object to having my comments dismissed with “Do you live in NY”.

There. Clear enough?

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 6:44 pm

Wow. You should not scare that easy. There are actual reactionaries out there to battle.

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 6:43 pm

It is not a question of whether or not NY will absorb some fraction of the cost.

You asked me “Do you live in NY?”

What difference does it make where I live? That is my question to you. Which you seem to have a problem answering.

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 6:40 pm

Now that is not nice.

Just cut and paste this:

Keven: It was wrong of me to question the validity of your opinion based on your residence.

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 6:38 pm

Who? Me? I am just wondering if my opinions count, seeing as I do not live in NY. I for one think that they do.

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 6:34 pm

I only want the opinions of people who own lots and lots of cats.

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 6:32 pm

No, I don’t hate you, don’t be an infant.

You said that my opinion on the utility of trying KSM was not of value because I am not from NY.

So I am just asking if the rule applies here?

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 6:31 pm

Is this thread only open to comment from residents of NY, or can anyone join in?

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 6:23 pm

Welcome!

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 5:14 pm

Yippie!

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 5:11 pm

Then you can just forget having drinks with us!

So there!

» Posted By KevenSeven On November 21, 2009 @ 1:29 pm

So the entire caucus has committed to cloture?
