Scott, this was a rant which I posted on Facebook and Lampada posted here. I do not want to elaborate more on it nor do I feel like I should have to defend it for you, just because you decided to challenge it. You and I have already had a discussion about the media. You did not respond to anything I said, except to tell me that you saw no reason to continue discussing the subject because you are conservative and I'm liberal and thus "we do not see eye to eye." You were right. We do not see eye to eye and I am not going to go to the trouble of further discussing this Facebook rant which is already self-explanatory.

Instead, why don't you tell me how you plan to make the world a nicer place. By electing Sarah Palin? By abolishing the minimum wage? By denying health care to anyone but the very rich? How does that work?

I'm going to make the world a nicer place by not calling people who disagree with me names.

It appears that you take Deb's FB piece personally. It doesn't seem fair. I brought it here without her permission and I did'n think that it would have anything to do with you or anybody on this forum. I think you should be angry with me for that and I regret what happened.

I felt like he took it personally too. But I do not blame you, Lampada! I don't think he should react to that anymore than any other thing you posted in this thread.

I didn't see any nasty comments from Lampada. Also please see my response to Lampada.

I'm not mad at all nor took it personally. I've seen other posts with nasty comments directed at conservatives on this site and have not responded. Should I not let them slide? I'm here to learn Russian.

I've seen nasty comments about liberals as well. I let a LOT of them slide, actually.

I questioned your post about Obamacare, but I do not recall saying anything "nasty" to you. I stated facts and answered your questions and you responded that you did not want to discuss it further which is fine by me. I am also here to continue learning Russian.

You've seen nasty comments about liberals from me?

Did I say you? No, I did not, because I am not interested in placing blame or derailing this thread with a prolonged "liberals VS conservatives" argument. There are lots of American politics forums where such a discussion is appropriate. This is the last response I will give to you on this topic.
