69. You are laboring under a misperception people might find your family history

Mar 2013

more interesting than anyone could be.

My eyes started glazing over before I had ended your first paragrah. I dropped back to check how long it was, skipped through it picking up phrases, and realized you simply have no idea how to make a point, and seem to be drowning in yourself.

Pick up the pace. You are not obligated to keep hurling yourself at this board to support the other right-wingers who come to troll at D.U. They've been here forever, it's their job. The lives of their little right-wing children depend upon it.

Don't tie yourself down. Surely a fashionable, rich young lord like yourself should be off enjoying the "good life" you enjoy in the U.S. of A., bucking down, devoting your efforts to your ambition, getting in there, working hard to make yourself fabulous, just like your right-wing parents did before you.

The world is your oyster, as long as the right-wing controls things in this country. Go get'em.

Thank you for providing even more RW propaganda. This time from Carlos Ardila Lulle owned media. idwiyo Mar 2013 #8

Haha! It's from AVN! Here's the original article on SiBCI: joshcryer Mar 2013 #9

Am not sure what is it are you laughing about? You provided a link to yet another RW website. idwiyo Mar 2013 #11

I posted a Ven Gov article. joshcryer Mar 2013 #17

You provided a link to RW media website that republished an article from Ven Gov media website. idwiyo Mar 2013 #19

Wrong. I baited ignorant posters into bashing Ven. sources. joshcryer Mar 2013 #21

Bullshit. You tried to present yet another RW source as a legit source of info. idwiyo Mar 2013 #24

Wrong. I saw AVN in the date of the article. joshcryer Mar 2013 #28

You posted a link to RW propaganda website. It doesn't matter that they reprinted an article from idwiyo Mar 2013 #29

"Generally it's the only website." joshcryer Mar 2013 #34

You posted a link to RW media website. The only reason to do that is to present it as "fair & idwiyo Mar 2013 #37

I don't care about people trusting websites. joshcryer Mar 2013 #39

Your source IS the RW media website that reprinted the article from Gov of Venezuela website. idwiyo Mar 2013 #42

When some nasty person starts insulting me... joshcryer Mar 2013 #44

Dude.. naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #33

Dude, I don't care about the actual article. What I care about is someone posting links to RW media idwiyo Mar 2013 #40

??? naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #50

Did you actually bother to have a look who owns the website that reprinted that article? idwiyo Mar 2013 #52

Yes naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #54

That's like saying its OK to post links to FOX News, if not worse. Since when did it became OK idwiyo Mar 2013 #55

Fox News naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #56

FOX News. That's what wrong but it looks like you either don't get it or deliberately pretend idwiyo Mar 2013 #58

I guess naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #72

Well, go ahead and explain why it's OK to post links to FOx and similar RW media sites on DU. idwiyo Mar 2013 #99

BecauSe naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #100

This is really silly. A link, by definition, is simply a pointer to other data. You Flatulo Mar 2013 #84

Doubt the poster ever has attempted to claim this democratic message board Judi Lynn Mar 2013 #85

Total BS. Pointing people to RW websites is the same as saying its OK to trust them because they are idwiyo Mar 2013 #91

I think your your beliefs about Josh's motivations are clouding your thinking on this issue. Flatulo Mar 2013 #104

That's exactly what I did. joshcryer Mar 2013 #106

BS. Takes few minutes to post a link to originating website or at least find something that doesn't idwiyo Mar 2013 #111

Any time you're prepared to refute the data, I'm happy to follow along. Flatulo Mar 2013 #112

Thank you for your time. nt Flatulo Mar 2013 #114

Capriles came out bashing the homophobia, actually. joshcryer Mar 2013 #10

Sorry. "Fervent Catholic" and defender of Equal Human Rights for all just don't go together. idwiyo Mar 2013 #12

Eh, you're the one defending the poor LGBT performance of Maduro. joshcryer Mar 2013 #13

Can you please point out where exactly I defend "poor LGBTQ performance by Maduro"? idwiyo Mar 2013 #14

"Both candidates are guilty in this regard." joshcryer Mar 2013 #15

Capriles is "fervent Catholic" by his own words. THAT doesn't go together with Defender of LGBTQ idwiyo Mar 2013 #16

That's a white wash. He's come out against LGBTQ discrimination. joshcryer Mar 2013 #18

So, what stoping him with condemning RCC and dropping his "fervent Catholic" claim? idwiyo Mar 2013 #20

Can you name one Latin American Presidential candidate or politician who has done that? joshcryer Mar 2013 #22

Don't try to wiggle out of it. We are talking about Capriles and his campaign promises. idwiyo Mar 2013 #23

Capriles is a liar. He said whatever he thought he had to say, to win. And liars always end up sabrina 1 Mar 2013 #25

He can propose the law against discrimination of LGBTQ right now. No need to wait until after idwiyo Mar 2013 #26

He's won't put up laws to defend the LGBT community because right now it's the smart move Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #31

He already said he will do so when he is elected. I am guessing THAT would damage him enough idwiyo Mar 2013 #35

"he wants to privitise everything" joshcryer Mar 2013 #45

I'm studying in Miami because my family and I decided to leave the country. Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #53

That's the kind of reply you give? Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #60

Sick and tired refuting the same old arguments over and over and over again. idwiyo Mar 2013 #62

Fair enough. I'd like a link or something I could use to see where you refute them Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #66

I'd like to see a link from you where some here claim Ven is a "socialist utopia". Mika Mar 2013 #101

Well, naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #92

Have a few minutes on internet, here you go: naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #93

I actually posted that link up thread. joshcryer Mar 2013 #119

She reported the facts, as Al Jazeera is known to do. joshcryer Mar 2013 #107

Starting with its 2 year old report. Next would be facts vs hearsay. You know how to tell them apart idwiyo Mar 2013 #108

He should've never sold it so cheap. joshcryer Mar 2013 #117

You are laboring under a misperception people might find your family history Judi Lynn Mar 2013 #69

How kind of you. joshcryer Mar 2013 #71

Still waiting for someone to actually address the points I made instead of attacking me Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #73

Maybe you should start with providing some links to independent sources so one can at a least idwiyo Mar 2013 #89

Alright, here's one concerning the crime rate Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #95

Crime rate is not a secret and was never in dispute. Who and why is responsible is different matter. idwiyo Mar 2013 #96

It's a good thing I know you're being sarcastic, or else I would've just given up in this thread :P Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #77

Oh, I knew it was coming... ocpagu Mar 2013 #86

In what moment did I claim to be "superior"? Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #94

The point is that Capriles went one further than Maduro. joshcryer Mar 2013 #27

So claiming to be Catholic automatically makes you a homophobe... That makes PERFECT sense Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #30

Claiming to be "fervent Catholic" does. Also, if he is so pro-LGBTQ rights, why not to introduce idwiyo Mar 2013 #32

Oh lordy he's not going to get elected. joshcryer Mar 2013 #36

Defend them by doing something about it instead of paying lip service. Words are damn cheap. idwiyo Mar 2013 #38

Why not Maduro? joshcryer Mar 2013 #41

We are talking about Capriles, The Defender of LGBTQ Rights, no? If Maduro wants to prove that he idwiyo Mar 2013 #43

Capriles has never said a bigoted statement. joshcryer Mar 2013 #46

"Fervent Catholic" by his own words. Enough said. idwiyo Mar 2013 #47

Nice. joshcryer Mar 2013 #48

Makes it that much harder to believe in Capriles The Defender Of LGBTQ Rights. idwiyo Mar 2013 #51

I've been here since 2002. joshcryer Mar 2013 #59

You have been here since 2002 proves exactly what? See quote below from your own post idwiyo Mar 2013 #61

Why are you here? joshcryer Mar 2013 #64

Your source was RW media website. I made sure that anyone who reads our exchange knows idwiyo Mar 2013 #68

You're wrong, N24 is not RW. joshcryer Mar 2013 #70

You admitted yourself posting links to RW websites because it amuses you. Your words, not mine. idwiyo Mar 2013 #110

Why would I apologize for posting news wire articles? joshcryer Mar 2013 #115

Ha ha ha ha ha. Of course they should, you poor innocent you! idwiyo Mar 2013 #116

You're repeating yourself. joshcryer Mar 2013 #118

No, I was more concerned that it was cited as AVN. joshcryer Mar 2013 #105

Of course you were. idwiyo Mar 2013 #109
