HOLY %^%$ Governor Bans Minimum Wage Increases And Paid Sick Leave Laws (Oklahoma)

118. Why on earth would you say something like that?

Please explain to me how anything I said even remotely indicates that I think this law in a good thing.

Just for the record - since you are making me defend my positions after criticizing me for things that I NEVER SAID OR IMPLIED - I do not think this law is a good thing. I think this law is a bad thing. I think this law is a ridiculous thing. I think it is being pushed for the sole purpose of building political favor amongst extreme right-wing groups that are too stupid to realize that this law even goes against core conservative principles (less centralized government control, more local power).

Now, seeing how our brief conversation has gone so far, I feel it is necessary to point out that just because I said that this law goes against core conservative principles is in no way intended to imply that I support or endorse core conservative principles. I merely point out that there is great irony in such a law being passed by a "conservative" leader. And beyond the irony, it points out that this "conservative" leader is nothing of the sort, rather it appears her only loyalty is to those that fund and enable her continuing to get elected.

It has been my experience that on this, and many other, online forums there tend to be two types of conversations that occur. One in which each subsequent response adds to the overall body of the discussion. Ideas become increasingly refined and there is a meaningful and important exchange between the people involved. And then there are the discussions where each response is merely an attack upon the previous response or poster. I do not enjoy the latter type of conversation. Hence why my response to the other post was not intended to imply an attacking or opposite opinion, instead it merely added information to the discussion at hand.
