		<description>Well this turned out amusing. &quot;OMG, Reps suck!&quot; &quot;OMG Black Socialism!&quot; &quot;OMG aliens!&quot; And it appears the only one who researches is FlyingMantisShrimp

On an unrelated note, I love how people call lawyers the &quot;scum of the earth&quot; until they need one.</description>

ALL Politicians ARE the same kiddo.
You may want to steer clear of gratuitous insults if you want to be taken seriously, but otherwise we agree on quite a lot.

But where you see Reps and Dems I see People.
Just because they say and belong to a group doesn&#039;t make them good or bad. Politicians are just under Lawyers are for scum of the earth, and let&#039;s remember that most politicians were/are lawyers so...</description>

		<description>&quot;The problem is that McCain has made his status as â€œwar heroâ€ an issue. &quot;
Just like Obama has been playing the race card this entire campaign.</description>

		<description>But, hey, this flame war&#039;s done on my end since I&#039;ve got an actual life to attend to this weekend(long weekend for me). My coworkers and I are having a New World Order meeting at the bottom of the Washington Monument where we can heed the word of our extraterrestrial mast-I&#039;ve said too much!</description>

		<description>You really *are* an idiot, aren&#039;t you? Not in a single part of my post did I say McCain is QUALIFIED to be president. I never said he&#039;s better than Obama, or that Obama is better than he is.

My ONLY point, originally, was that saying that &quot;McCain couldn&#039;t avoid an accident,&quot; is a pretty fucking retarded point in terms of disqualifying somebody for the presidency.

Yes, I&#039;m clearly quoting way out of context on your website since this is your statement under the &quot;metaphysician&quot; tab:

&quot;Is money really the root of all evil? If so...who planted that root?

The evidence is that aliens did it...and, yes, there really is evidence, in the form of thousands of written documents left by them and the people they enslaved. See Were The Ancient &#039;Gods&#039; Extraterrestrials? for details.&quot;

So money is the root of all evil and aliens put that root there. In effect, you&#039;re saying aliens are responsible for all evil.

Clearly, you&#039;ve proven yourself to be a reliable source of information and good judgement.</description>

		<description>You can quote out of context all you want. As a government worker, I suppose that&#039;s yoru specialty. I invite anyone interested to follow through to the citations and examine the evidence for themselves. As you CLAIM should be done (but do as you say, not as you do, eh?)

And by the way, people with IQs over 80 recognize that ad hominem arguments are distractions and invalid. What does anything you&#039;ve written have to do with McCain&#039;s qualifications to be president? Do you have anything substantive to offer on that topic?</description>

I can guarantee that you probably make more money than me. In fact, I honestly hope you do. I work for the government, after all, so I don&#039;t exactly roll around on a bed full of money. Yes, that&#039;s right. I&#039;m paid by the government. Please don&#039;t put on your aluminum foil hat--it makes my mind control work a little harder.

Do you really want this to continue? I can keep quoting from your own publications.

&quot;2. Yahweh destroyed them on their home world, as he managed to wipe them out on ours.&quot;

That&#039;s right, guys. After annihilating the alien menace on their home world, God then followed them to Earth and continued the fight until he killed them here.</description>

Oh, how funny. I am not unemployed (I probably make more money than you) and I am not a Scientologist.

If that&#039;s how carefully you read information that&#039;s handed right to you, no wonder you&#039;re an idiot!</description>

You&#039;re absolutely right. Given a choice, I would vote for the candidate who had the fewest car wrecks. Preferably, zero.</description>

Yes, I&#039;m clearly the misinformed one since I&#039;m the one who actually knows the details of the event/person we&#039;re discussing.

And why am I even bothering trying to get through to you? On your website, you describe yourself as &quot;metaphysicician, blooger, traveler, author, photographer, singer/songwriter, and an experiencer.&quot;

So, basically, you&#039;re an unemployed hippie whose beliefs, according to your article entitled Were The Ancient &#039;Gods&#039; Extraterrestials?, seem to share a border with scientologists. From your own website:

&quot;They are still here. Depending how human they really look, they might be &quot;immortals&quot; living among us, the &quot;secret government,&quot; or even the aliens who abduct some of us now for--what else?--genetic experimentation.&quot;

Great. I&#039;ve gotten into a discussion with a scientologist. I have shamed myself, my family, and my community.</description>

I agree that McCain having served in a war is not a sole, valid reason for him to be elected. I also agree that his record should be scrutinized, as should any of his actions since this man is a candidate to become the leader of our country.

My point is that PaulCilwa&#039;s comments made it seem as if 1) Only the bad pilots get shot down and 2) In the event of being shot down, it&#039;s easy to escape. And going by PaulCilwa&#039;s own description of the event as an &quot;accident,&quot; then by that logic, we can say we shouldn&#039;t vote for anybody who has been in so much as a few car wrecks.</description>

I agree that McCain having served in a war is not a sole, valid reason for him to be elected. I also agree that his record should be scrutinized, as should any of his actions since this man is a candidate to become the leader of our country.</p>
<p>My point is that PaulCilwa&#8217;s comments made it seem as if 1) Only the bad pilots get shot down and 2) In the event of being shot down, it&#8217;s easy to escape. And going by PaulCilwa&#8217;s own description of the event as an &#8220;accident,&#8221; then by that logic, we can say we shouldn&#8217;t vote for anybody who has been in so much as a few car wrecks.</p>

&quot;People...who donâ€™t bother looking up information on anything, but vote according to their own biases and unsupported assumptions really shouldnâ€™t even be allowed to vote in the first place.&quot;

So you&#039;ll be staying home that day?</description>

Normally I would agree with you. The problem is that McCain has made his status as &quot;war hero&quot; an issue. If he expects people to vote for him because of his service in the military, then it because perfectly acceptable to criticize him based the same service, which honestly isn&#039;t very good (bottom of his class at the academy, promoted due to family connections, etc.). Like Wesley Clark said, being a POW does not mean you&#039;re qualified to be President.</description>

Wow.

First of all, the very nature of accidents are things that happen by chance, and while you can always safeguard against certain things from happening, saying that there is a way to just avoid accidents altogether is a pretty ignorant thing to claim. You should be looking for a President who not only safeguards against certain events, but also reacts with a level head and clear thinking in times of crisis. If you&#039;re looking for some President who just avoids accidents, you&#039;re never going to find one. Sorry. 

And what in the hell makes you an expert on jet aircraft, dogfighting, and SERE(Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) training done by the military? If you really think it&#039;s so easy to avoid being shot down by a locked on missile while you&#039;re in a jet made during the late fifties, you&#039;re an imbecile. If you think flying a jet is so easy, how about you go to your local USAF recruiter and start training to become a pilot?
