Re: “Justice or Vandalism? You Make the Call”
Too bad she wasn't carrying.
Re: “We Might Be Rednecks, Natalie Grigson Might Be a Dumbass”
Perhaps noitall, but in typical Texas style, there was a taint of superiority in the tone as I perceived! That being said, Betsy was IMHO pretty much spot on in her analysis! Of course, to SOME negative nabobs, NOTHING she could do would suffice.
Re: “We Might Be Rednecks, Natalie Grigson Might Be a Dumbass”
As a native Tennessean who lives about 80 miles from Nashville, I think the entire point is moot. During my brief residence in Nashville, it came to my attention that being a "native" was an anomaly. No one, it appeared, was "from" Nashville. They all moved here from elsewhere. ;) (And no-- there is no reason to give this list much attention. Nor the author. Both are invalid.)
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
NeverFear: That would fly in face of the "more kids + more food-stamps and ADC money fiction that is perpetrated by the holier than thou crowd!
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
And yet, here I am, schooling you...
This is fun! Please, keep on.
Re: “Turns Out the Music City Center Will Not Create Jobs for Goats”
Me too AnglRdr! Goats would be almost as awesome as LARP on that rooftop.
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
Yes, I have much to learn, as do you. Unfortunately, you aren't qualified to do any teaching.
Re: “Justice or Vandalism? You Make the Call”
His frustration is completely understandable, and the *desire* to solve the problem as a vigilante is very strong: people who use their cellphones in a theater of any variety should be tarred and feathered, at least figuratively.
But you just do not touch other people's shit.
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
But, champ, the thing is you do care, which is why you keep responding to me.
*That's* how good I am at controlling the narrative.
You have much to learn, sport.
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
Oh, just have at it, sweetheart. Whenever you "remind" me of it, I'll be sure to tell you how much I care.
Keep trying to control the narrative. Just know that you really suck at it.
Re: “Turns Out the Music City Center Will Not Create Jobs for Goats”
I can see the roof from my office. Goats would be delightful to watch!
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
It wasn't an order, punkin; it was advice.
By all means, continue acting like a pissant. Whine when you get treated like one, and I'll remind you of this conversation.
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
Stop trying to give people orders, AnglRdr. You aren't in a position to tell anyone else what to do.
Up yours.
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
Quit making shit up then, Zoombah.
If you want to have a grown up discussion, act like a grown up. If you'd like more of what you're having with Jim, carry on as you have been.
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
@AnglRdr: Please stop wasting my time.
Thank you.
Re: “Ron Ramsey, I Am Begging You — Please Debate Pro Wrestler Kane!”
Of course, if the Internet sales tax doesn't get passed, then he's going to have to find another way to pay for the elimination of the estate tax.
Hey, by the way, Ramsey - where were you on "market fairness" when Amazon landed in the state without them having to collect sales tax? Or why don't you sic the TN Department of Revenue on the thousands of use tax scofflaws in the state if you're so principled about it? Oh, wait. You want the federal government TO DO IT FOR YOU.
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
@Zoombah: "You appear to want it to say that the 1994 AWB reduced crime significantly, which is not the case."
What did I say that led you to that conclusion? Please quote directly.
Re: “Ron Ramsey, I Am Begging You — Please Debate Pro Wrestler Kane!”
I actually agree with Ramsey on this issue, largely (I think internet sales need to be taxed like in-person purchases), I think the bill is terrible.
On the other hand, I just want to see this event happen for the lulz.
Re: “Ron Ramsey, I Am Begging You — Please Debate Pro Wrestler Kane!”
I'm interested to know where Betsy falls on the issue of an internet sales tax. Is she willing to listen to and discuss opposing views on this topic. Or, is she a low-info citizen just looking for daytime-tv-style bread-and-circuses, all the while bringing dishonor to Tennessee with regards to our more refined East and West Coast compatriots.
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
Zoom: "And, BTW, Adam Lanza did NOT obtain his guns legally. He STOLE them."
Nah: Lanza had his mother's permission to handle her guns; he just didn't have her permission to kill her.
