whois adchent a slash would help

hi

william jefferson won relection by a landslide despite 90,000$ in his fridge i love it when people hate the republicans and bush so much that they vote for a sleazeball dem

there’s enough sleaze on both sides of the aisle

more than a few people in here charged the democrats as being anti-semitic any ideas why? is it just because they are dumb as shit right-wing idealogues?

tuneup pretty much

nice, the U.S. secret service had Princess Di’s phone bugged on the night she died I wonder what the explanation for that would be other than the U.S. cant mind its own fucking business bI wonder what the explanation for that would be other than the U.S. cant mind its own fucking business/b

um, no other one occurs to me tuneup

never know, Princess Di might have been a terrorist

good morning

morning

what’s up all?

it’s very quiet

raibow trout or brown trout?

anyone awake

morning!

good morning Timur- it’s just about time to begin a brand new day

yeah!

i cant tell if im more excited about today or tommarow since today hasn’t even really started

so, I’m starting it by taking my gf to the grocery store

im wondering though is tommarow going to be any more exciting than today or today is about as good as it gets, i don’t know though because today is so fresh

why compare just enjoy each one!

lower your dosage…

I liek coffee did I tell you I like coffee? wow this cffee is reall goo it really perks me up cofffee coffee coffee coffee yeah! oh man tasty and energiizng I sure do love cof-…

hehe

im thinking maybe tommarow is going to be so awesome that i wont even remember today

hmm, so Princess Di was a spy

covert ops _3Josephs she was trying to infiltrate the paparazzi

maybe her Egyptian husband had links to terror

its the only plausible reason we were spying on an ex-member of the royal family

t0tgiglz!

we were bugging her, not h8im errr, him

morning

she’s part of mi5 which the cia didn’t trust obviously

hmm, maybe VP Dick was having an affair ;-)

you sure?

obviously! ;-)

with di

let me ask you something if you had a girlfriend or a wife would you consider it strange to have them come online and chat with you?

no wonder they bumped her off yes but i know some people who met on irc

hmm, so the SS finally launched

so its a bit weird yeah no crash this time maybe they won’t make it back fingers crossed i thought they were fucked last time or the time before i forget

so would you consider it strange if you got a private message from somebody claiming they were your soulmate and e-harmony or any other place couldn’t of brought the two of you together would you buy into that

8 10/12/2006

sure contact her or him

Barak Ommamba Obama Al-I-don’t-Know-If-I-can-run-for-President

lol

where’s my hello t0tgiglz!

i said morning

oops you said morning i guess that meant me too my bad

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavon_Affair Anyone remember this? Israel bombed American&British targets in Egypt and tried to blame it on the Egyptians but they were uncovered

lol no

and a bunch of Israelis had to quit the government They tried to start a war between the U.S/Brit and the Arabs In March 2005, Israel publicly honored the surviving operatives, and President Moshe Katsav presented each with a certificate of appreciation for their efforts on behalf of the state, ending decades of official denial by Israel. and then they honored the bombers at an official ceremony

tuneup, don’t remember it since i am a bit too young, but i have heard of the Lavon Affair, seemed a bit unfair on Lavon who had to resign, since it was Ben Gurion’s supporters who came up with the plan., if i recall correctly

Well I wonder how many other bombings they are responsible for that they managed to cover-up properly

tuneup, probably not many, the plan didn’t work so I’d imagine they tried other things

well Netanyahu said that 9/11 was a great thing for Israeli-American relations

really? do you have a link for that tuneup?

9/11, he may well have done, but thats a long stretch from evidence that israel has been behind any anti US or anti western terrorism

i don’t think he was saying that JustinFra

debris, ok, just trying to make sure he doesn’t go in that direction. hard enough to get reasonable discussions on Israel without loonie conspiracy theories

omg justin are you back

hey t0tgigl, i missed you

Princess Di was really jewish…

lol

yeah missed you too like a case of bleeding hemroids …. NOT

totgiglz, how are your bleeding hemerhoids? you told me they were healing

lol yeah right ok LOL moron

LOL

‘Asked tonight what the attack [on New York and Washington] meant for relations between the United States and Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, replied: “It’s very good.” Then he edited himself: “Well, not very good, but it will generate immediate sympathy.”‘

they are not healing? oh dear, could be painful having hemmeroids and talking out of your arse at the same time

from the NYT

tuneup? link please?

the first words out of his mouth were “It’s very good”

LOL rofl

poor t0tgiglz

http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F00D15F8395C0C718DDDA00894D9404482

why poor me

thanks tuneup

sorry im slow to answer im still scanning

these people in #politics are so rude to women

nothing wrong with being rude, so long as its at least slightly funny

im getting insulted by a non american lol rofl i could give two shits deb

cool

t0tgiglz would be ok if she could be rude and entertaining at the same time. sadly thats beyond her

its like listening to my kids run their mouth infront of their friends its all good deb i have such a busy day today

200 you are going to be busy

yup need to get them done today thats why i got up early

ah

this is early?

ive been up for hours

ditto

its 723 right now takes for ever to scan slides i can only do 2 at a time

how many times have we had to put up with this spammers on efnet they keep askin me to ‘cu* to their site’ no thanks

my dad was in the navy and was a navy photographer

well maybe if you weren’t on porn channels ;-)

im scanning his midway pics damn boring

i dont do eharmony or myspace because like most online user groups are predominatly homosexual or black

rofl

I don’t do eharmony or myspace because they are stupid

eharmony and myspace are two sep things arent theu or are you talking about a myspace personals

hehe, I don’t have a clue

my bf i met on efnet almost 9 yrs ago …. a year ago we decided to give it a shot now were getting married in april

via irc?

it was actually easy the dating part cus we knew everything about each other no he moved here i met him on irc we worked for some of the same shell providers were opers together for efnet

hmm, anyone except the israeli govt think this is a bad idea? The Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa will lead a UN Human Rights Council mission to the town of Beit Hanoun, where 18 Palestinians were killed during Israeli military operations in early November.

we both quit

Tutu is the Jimmy Carter of Africa

i cant watch that damn fool type anymore

(and I hear he’s on eharmony ;-)

iggy is my friend rofl

you guys are fuckin halirious

3josephs, Desmond Tutu risked his life to stand up the apartheid regime of RSA

talking like you met someone online and getting married lol thats so funny

JustinFra, blah blah blah, he’s just another liberal

id only marry someone online after they signed a pre nup

um we are in april 21

and they’d be willing to let me part with all of their assets

3josephs, hmm.. so only liberals opposed apartheid? u saying apartheid was a good thing?

i would never marry anybody who wasn’t willing to let me take everything and sell it

I’m saying Tutu is a liberal (even Tutu says he’s a liberal)

3josephs.. and u admire liberal opposition to apartheid?

shrug if thats what youre all about its all good

hmm, Rumsfeld in Iraq

if my wife had a problem with ircing,, id just sell her computer because she’d have to irc with me cause there is simply just way too many black/homosexual user groups/chats on the internet today

lol so much for 3josephs

l984, you seem to have a hang up on blacks and homosexuals

no shit

more like a hangup with HIV/AIDS, it’s a total killer

only think worse than blacks and homsexuals is black homosexuals

so get educated

JustinFra, I don’t like Tutu, doesn’t mean he hasn’t accidently done somethings right - but I still don’t like him

oh and straight ppl dont get aids

lol

rofl

1984 has aids?

HIV/AIDs originated from homosexuals and Africa, anybody can go figure on that one, that’s WHY we need to protect the future for white children

3jospephs.. tutu is very arrogant, but he’s done more good in his life than u or i ever will

yes africa moron not gay africans

…thinks…

something like kkkramer

AIDS is rampant among homosexuals and it came from Africa gay africans are responsible

aids is rampant amongst drug users you sir are an idiot gay africans indeed i challenge you to a duel no, you’re an idiot

i would stomp you out until the turned the lights on

good day, sir!

well they had to have slept with someone bi or straight cus its flying around straight ppl

i said good day, sir!

you are dummy the problem is we need to protect white children

you are a moron and a dickhead to boot by the sounds of it good day, sir!

and not let queer loving africans to spread gayness and AIDs

lol debris, nice to such politeness, may i be your second in your dual tomorrow at dawn?

and a racist

we protect white ppl? wtf do you walk around in a sheet

indeed JustinFra you may

ppl dont chose their skin color so to judge someone like that is wrong

1984 is worth of kick/ban/ignore

– looks out debris’s thermal undies.. can’t haev any shivering from the cold in case it is misinterpreted

funny how idiots sneak up on you like that lol

hes already been ignored hes a racist ass i could handle justin whos just a idiot verses a racist

–always practical in duals

with a nick like that you’d thing he’d have a braincell apparently not

its so weird to see how tough people get over talking through chat rooms

it’s so weird how bigoted some people are in chat rooms

oh no im like this in real life

oh t0tgigl, any time your bleeding hemeroids have let up enough for you to try and prove me to be an idiot, feel free to try

ill tell you to your face

i bet you wouldn’t be talking nearly as tough as you do now in a real conversation, cause you’d already be stomped out on the ground

again as t0tgiglz said, i believe 1985 would be like this in real life

rofl ask cry hes talked to me on the phone

ah violence, you are a genius

im very direct and say how i feel i dont need a computer to talk shit

1984 you strike me a a coward

or an ambulance on your way to get facial reconstruction surgery from some cheap mexican doctor

i would slap you upside the face verbally no matter what the medium

rofl yeah and i take it you have kids youre turning into white power puppets sad

white power! white and proud!

you would be crushed an instant, and your boyfriend couldn’t do shit

i dont need my bf i can fight my own fights

sooo what are we all doing to celebrate international human rights day?

how is your bf by the way 1985?

you prob have one of those wives that shuts up and lets you be the “man”

1862 or whatever you are? neolithic man, rather?

you would be crushed so brutally and laying on the pavement bleeding so bad

JustinFra, I thought I’d deprive a black or homosexual of some ;-)

it’s funny when the morons/trolls come out

yeah ok kkkman

the lines get drawn

its so funny that you use the internet as a shield and a platform for sounding like a shit talking tough guy

why not just change your nick to kkkman

3josephs, or you could realy outdo yourself and pick on a black homosexual. preferrably disabled

yes ironic isn’t it

ok wise guy what are you gonna do about it huh?

t0tgiglz, I was channeling l984

youre ignorant

thats what i thought you aren’t going to do anything

1984 you’re a first class moron

cause you can’t

oh come on, 1984 isn’t a first class anything

neither can you mr. trash talk

whats sad is ppl like you breed

i have to give him some credit and being a first class ass is the best i can do a pox on thee ;p

lol

i reckon you aint never been down to where im from

oh so thats a reason to be ignorant not

we’d have you stomped out in a matter of seconds, bleeding on the pavement while we took turns jumping on your face

where are you from, you white supremicist peice of shit?

BRING IT ON

yes yes you keep saying that like its imaginitive or something

WE’D what you need the rest of the kkk to help

but you just sound like a stupid thug

so you guys give sheets for xmas ? fkn loser

you would be so stupid for even walking down the street where im from

do you think they cut the holes in them before they giftwrap them?

rofl

where are you from tough man? da hood?

yeah you represent you area well 1984

your boyfriend would probably to try to act all tough when he would be getting kicked in the mouth

lol fuck i dont need my bf

you’re a charmer

im female not a wimp youre just a shit talker cus youre scared of color that makes you the pussy not us

you are afraid to come where i live because you know it would be the wrong move

are you a neo-nazi? you still haven’t given us a clue “where you live”

you would be putting yourself in harms way if you tried to find me

whats sad is theres prob more colored men that deserve the label “men” and deserve that title more then you do

you could live in san francisco for all i know

just cus you have a penis doesnt make you a man

tell us then, knob end?

yeah keep talking smack 1984 you keep saying the same shit

thats why i think its funny how you use the internet as a shield to talk your shit, but in real life you’d already be stomped out by now

blah blah blah

or do you have too much penis breath?

its classic comedy of the shit talkers getting their moment on the chat room

id say the same shit in real life without a computer

yes stomp away cocksucker

youre the one talking smack how old are you 18?

but in all reality they’d be squealing and squirming bleeding profusely on the pavement

i think it must be younger

yeah whatever

this is fairly amusing

he doesn’t have much variety in his act i suggest you develop your character more fully and then return until then

morning mason

good day, sir!

good morning

has he gone? ;p

who cares

or is he slowly typing up another line of craptalk with his one good finger and one good eye?

justin i owe you a apology … you arent the biggest idiot in here 1984 just showed you up I can tolerate youre stupidity more LOL justin i owe you a apology … you arent the biggest idiot in here 1984 just showed you up I can tolerate youre stupidity more LOL

t0tgiglz, would be better if you didn’t apologise every time your said something stupid, the internet is slow enough without u hogging all the badnwidth

lol hugs justin i love you too wb frankie

he has no voice he changed his name so he will no have a voice either

so i can still say hi lol

;p

hehe OMG!!! issat franklin???

fkn ignorant ppl i swear cry

what happened?

we got the kkk and justin back two fkn ignorant loons

Justinfra?

1984 is a racist doesnt like black ppl

Paper Cutout Euros should be pitie to an extent…

tsk tsk, anyone who calls me an ignorant loon better be very very smart if they are going to prove that accusation

how someone can stand living in a cracker jack box info wise is a mystery to me

tell 1984 im this much of a bitch in person as on here please he thinks i need a guy to protect me rofl

oi, i had to check the channel name before i reacted, i know quite a few channels i’m in that’d love him

lol morning mad

morning

good refer him over

it’d be nice if the channels stayed on topic, but instead they’re all over the place, lots of richards defenders

Micheal Richards?

yah

hey mad scribbles

lately theres been a lot more morons in here then normal

i don’t think the word should be illegal, but umm… I’ve seen several shows with rude audience members and most comics deal with it with a lot more class

yeah, a bunch of right-wing lunatics

some of them represent entertainment

t0tgiglz how do you tell the difference?

debris ive been in this room for like 4 or 5 yrs

arguments are good

ask cry i normally say hi or hugs but i dont fight

when there are no arguments then what good is the channel

debris…they sort themselves out quickly enough

i don’t through them in with the right-wingers

no tuneup this is different

if everyone is just here to pat each other on the back and agree its pointless

im not talking politics arguement

these folks are just living about 100 years ago

im talking idiots talking shit

tuneups, how about duscussions or debates rather than simply arguments

s/through/throw

discussions too

i’m still sans-coffee

like if i come in here and say “President Bush is great” and have the 150 or so people agree with me what good is that

they weren’t agreeing today

prob give sheets as xmas presents and they dont have the money to go buy new ones so therefor they are angry

lol can u find 150 people who think GW Bush is great?

maybe 140 in here out of 154

lets see… GW Bush, thats one

tuneup hun you are not even listening to wtf im saying

think Bush is great and that his Iraq policy is great

im not talking about politics fights sigh

OK i understand but Im going off on a tangent anyways

its like talking to my damn kids

there isnt enough political divisiveness in here

hey can

not since that report on iraq from 2 days ago no

you cant have a good debate in here because its overwhelmed by right wing syncophants that resort to ad homminem attacks

agreed

the ISG may not have any great ideas or solutions, but at least it makes the us face up to the reality of the level of failure in iraq so far

they had 80 suggestions but i just like the fact that bush has to acknowledge he’s a fuckup

FreeTrade will ban you for being a liar if you dont agree with his lies

sure will

so theres no point in debating

i’ve experienced FreeTrade firsthand

hmm…

and then CometBaby sticks the boot in too she banned me one day for calling her “narrow minded”

freetrade booted me yesterday for posting an article that backed up my position, at least he had the good grace to seem embarassed about it afterwards, not enough to apologise tho

[debris]: Why do you come here then?

They should relinquish control of the channel to people who arent ignorant liars

lol don’t start

i’ve been here long enough to tell you that you don’t have to agree, i frequently disagree, but if you have an opinion be prepared to stand by it, if you state something as fact don’t pull some fly-by-night website (liberal or neo) to support your claim ui’ve been here long enough to tell you that you don’t have to agree, i frequently disagree, but if you have an opinion be prepared to stand by it, if you state something as fact don’t pull some fly-by-night website (liberal or neo) to support your claim/u

yaakov, know any other politics channels?

That’s an odd idea. Why not just start your own channel?

EXACTLY MAD

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=george+w.+bush

It isn’t as if this is a monopoly.

FreeTrade doesnt have anything to back him up

madscribe, hmm i posted a 9/11 timeline and an article from the washington post, and freetrade booted me

except Hearsay

yaakov, how easy is it to start a channel with the title “politics” ?

i wouldnt want to op in this channel oh bs he doesnt

t0t it is not that bad

i can’t testify to that one, I again, frequently disagree

He never has any sources, all Freetrade has is his opinions

ive been in here years and dont see him kick everyone who disagrees

or he will claim to have good sources

look its JustinFra!!!

and i’ve NEVER been booted by free, there’s only one op that I disagree with and has banned me for such

like “I was talking to the army corp in Iraq”

It isn’t, and while there is some value to the name, it is not the only way to get people to join a channel.

madscribe, i used to chat in excite soapbox and yahoo politics, they didn’t allow ops to boot people

Just the only passive one.

Paper Cutout Euro contingent is present!

and i’ve been here about 10 years so…

dont like the room make up another one

yaakov, i only reason i found this room is because its called “politics”

KustinFra…why not

hell i will ev3n give you guys the bots to hold it

This channel is good it just needs better rules

this channels rules are fine

some times people need to be ejected from venues such as this

no personal attacks from the right-wingers

rofl

but people still get kicked/banned for disagreeing with FreeTrade

I call channels like this one “natural” channels. They *are* powerful attractors, but it is also possible to use marketing and other techniques to establish a channel that isn’t necessarily a natural one.

ops booting people because its easier than arguing a point is not down to rules

It takes work, though.

Show up armed if you wishe to coherently argue NO hatemongering/extremism/factionalism will be tolerated

The rule #1 in this channel is Attack/Alienate/Kick/Ban anyone who has an argument you dont like

yaakov, hey, i use a mac so i don’t have to figure out how stuff works, not sure i’d know how to go about setting up a channel and gthen marketing it. just making the point that the room would be better if ops didn’t boot people simply for disagreeing

thats bs tuneup and you know it

Be prepared to back up anything you say

ive been in this room 4 - 5 yrs they do not just ban ppl

tuneup…bullshit

can you ask FreeTrade to backup what he says

i watch this room more then i participate in it

rather than just thinking he is a genius and doesnt need any sources

I have not booted JustinFra ….and frankly he is unarmed information wise…

that’s pretty much it

this room the ops do not abuse their position

from now on ask FreeTrade for a source for everything he has to say

hell id ban a lot more lol and i hate bans

cryhavoc prefers to bore people to death rather than booting them, so kudos to him

you’ll find he shuts the fuck up

tuneup…Folk like FT and myself…we sure can back up what we say….but I doubt you would want to read the books we have read

more often

but http://www.ircpolitics.org/channelrules.html — DA RULES

theres lots of ppl they ask to back their source up and cant and they dont ban them

when he gets back we’ll debate Iraq

freetrade asked me to back up my point with a source and then booted me when i did, thats not exactly rational bfreetrade asked me to back up my point with a source and then booted me when i did, thats not exactly rational/b

bbl

its easier to kick you then be embarrased by losing an argument

rofl whatever tuneup

tuneup, to be fair, spellnix over on undernet is far worse

I dont use undernet

justin got kicked for his link he insisted was fact and wasnt and he wasnt listening i was here when he got kicked

it wasnt?

no it wasnt

who are you to determine what is fact

lol totgiglz, hmm,, i posted a 9/11 timeline and then a washington post article that backed it up

are you an expert on whatever it was

it’s all relative to who has power :p

m i didnt kick him hun and who the fuck are you or he to say it is so dont fuckin start on me

tuneup …why be such a Dee Dee Dee?

but you claim what he presented wasnt fact

thats why he was kicked I DIDNT KICK HIM YOU JACK ASS

that doesnt matter

Whether you agree with them or not FreeTrade and CometBaby have maintained this channel for about 10 years. That makes is one of the oldest continuous EFNet channels, a testament to a great deal of effort and dedication. I don’t always agree with them, but it makes little sense to come into someone’s established domain and treat them poorly. In any case, if you took this energy and used it to establish a new channel more to your liking you would be better of

god you sound like my 13 yr old whining

why is what he posted not fact?

lol.. yup.. i was asked for a course and then got booted when i provided it.. and giggles there thinks that ok

because FT says so? who the fuck is he to say something isnt fact

Yaakov hehehe

i dont know i didnt fuckin kick him

it doesnt take effort or dedication idle in a channel and run some bots

yaakov, i have to admit i have no idea how much effort it takes to maintain a channel, but surely its a fair complaint that ops should only boot people for scrolling the screen of spamming or spamming

they participate in this forum too

sometimes facts don’t fit in with what someone believes or wants to hear

and actually..it takes effort to run bots

You really don’t know how much work EFNet historically required to keep a channel, and this one has been threated quite a bit.

no it takes money

and effort money xost is very nominal…. at one time ..I had 9 bots

That’s a reasonable philosophy that might make a good channel, you should start one.

initially it might take some time to setup a few bots like an hour or two

CometBaby also maintains a website.

but then they dont need much interaction

yaakov, i’d find it far easier to start a channel if i had access to the name “politics”

tuneup..wrong again…depends how they are used

In any case, since chanfix things are a lot easier on people who maintain channels.

so where is the effort?

But, prior to chanfix, it required a lot of time to keep a channel.,

its not as simple as you think tuneup not to mention

I used to be an IRC Op on antoehr network…my bots at times were used to watch channels…

the other stuff they do to keep this channel going

like what? sit on their couches and watch FoxNews?

they also maintain our website…. (more effort)

ircpolitics looks like shit and hasnt been worked on in years

you have no clue what it takes to keep this room going

lol foxnews is funny

but i think you should go start another channel and set your own rules

surely the point is that it doesn’t require any more effort to maintain a “fair” channel than one where ops can boot people for no good reason

tuneup is fidel@offsh0re.info cute

try undernet tuneup

since its easy

he can try the Dalnet

you commie pig dog! ;p is dalnet anygood

just some insipid vhost

someone recommended it to me over efnet

bunch of titty babies in here lately

well I will have to go to one of those other networks now

if you dont liek the room then leave quit whining cus its the same rules they have used for years

because I will feel the wrath of FT when he returns

undernet is good tuneup

Anyway the whole thing is silly. Pragmatically, this IS FreeTrade and CometBaby’s channel. They could choose to arbitrarily ban anyone without any reason whatsoever and there is no legitimate argument against that. As it stands, they don’t do that. You may disagree with the way they decide who to ban, but it really *is* their perogative.,

tuneup look at how many defend him lol not cus they have to

undernet has the same problem this room has, ops booting people for disagreeing

well good if you know what you are talking about what about dalnet?

and even I disagree with FT on some topics

but cus they choose to cus they know the rules and how things run

yeah you’re right now that i think about it

FT And Cometbaby do a great job!

ft does not abuse his position

they haven’t kicked nearly enough

KustinFra..I fully disagree with you…but I still see you here?

no shit bill thats what im saying

bye guys im going to dalnet

yaakov.. u are right to an extent, but don’t they owe something to the community? not asking that much, just that ops only boot for scrolling or spamming

cya tuneup don’t be a stranger

tuneup is not firing on all 8 cylinders…but he is still here

i sit here and watch ppl talk shit and wonder why they arent gone

cryhavoc, and thats a good thing

he’s left

lol

LOOLOLOLOLOLOL

gawd

he is gonna LOVE Dalnet!

lol

An IRC network composed of some of nastiest IRC Opers you will see….

I don’t know what the “community” is in this case. It seems that they have built up a community over time and even if it is a bit of a monoculture sometimes you are just going to find yourself in the position of a sojourner and you’ll have to take that into account.

on DalNet..Opers apparently are exempt from all user rules….

really?

justin didnt exactly make shit easy for himself when he sat here yesterday being a cocky idiot

When you are not a member of the majority there is a practical need to be careful in how you go about expressing yourself, that’s part of life.

talking shit to ppl

yaakov, i accept your point that cometbaby and freetrade could just boot absolutely anyone anytime for no reason, i am simply trying to make a point which i think would improve the room.

Kick-banned a reprehensible Female IRC-Op

lol

JustinFra the Room is fine as it is

then he posted a new site that he swore chaney gave orders and bush wasnt onvolved cus he was too busy ready to kids during 9/11 and the link he posted clearly stated that chaney gave the order from bush so he didnt even have his facts straight

cryhavoc, the room could not be better?

and for the record..I do not rag on all Europeans….

so he got slammed and he didnt like it so thats why justin is pissy

I understand that, but I am trying to suggest that a sort of pragmatic idealism is the right thing for *you* to adopt. Just as you wish to advise them, I am giving you advice. If you want to stay, behave pragmatically in service to your ideals.

only a significant number who arrive clueless and filled full of their socialist pap

You can’t “win” an argument if you aren’t *here*.

yaakov, u are advocating pragamtic realism rather than pragmatic idealism

Justin got slammed yesterday

lol its nice having justin iggied justin deserved to get slammed yesterday

Paper Cutout Europeans are a hoot though…

yaakov, and i happen to agree with your advice, if i actually want to stay in the room for a while then i avoid arguing with ops

The republicans are going to need a lot of good luck in 2008

No. Pramatism in actions in service to idealism. In other words, idealistic strategy, pragmeatic tactics.

weboh…thedems will provide it….even now..the revengocrats are hard at work

arguing? or calling them derogatory names?

No, don’t avoid arguing, avoid the idea that you have to “win”. Detect the deadlock that leads to the unwanted outcome and stop. *Don’t* avoid arguing.

yaakov, pragmatism is changing a strategy as perception of events change, idealism is trying to apply ideals even in the face of reality

Bill Paper Cutout Euro is not derogatory it is accurate

No, pragamtism is doing things that will have an *effect*.

yaakov, i haev been chatting in politcs rooms for 11 years.. there is no such thing as winning, i think i have seen people change their minds in the room twice in that time

no cry… justin says he should avoid arguing. that’s what i was referring to

heheh ok

i’ve never seen anyone kicked for disagreeing. just for behavior

it will be no big suprise when most of the pro-war republicans get in 2008. The Democraps will have their hayday when they elect one of their own as president. But voting for a dem for prez always leads the country back right.

to an extent…I find some of the names I am called here funny…

I keep an eye on the ideals and behave in ways that brings me closer to those ideals. I also have things that *cannot* be compromised, but that list is small.

but draw a line weboh…the Dem House will prob guarantee a GOP Prez in 2008….

hair in my eyes like a highland steer

I have faith in Pelosi/Murtha

yaakov, good. but not realy the point. i am simply making a suggestion that i don’t think anyoen is arguing would not be an improvement. i accept the reality of the situatiuon which is that things will not change

do do do

whats up Herzen

I have learned things from a few people that have helped shape my opinions. For the most part people come to a place like this to prop up their opinion, not to test it.

doubtful, as long as republicans and democrats hate neocons; there will be no republican presidents.

One Canadian that should be in the USA

I don’t think that this channel would be as robust if the policy you advocate was followed.

there are no real conservatives in congress…

That’s my experience.

yaakov, thats very true.. and personally i prefer to test my arguments, sometimes quite aggresively

Ron Paul?

but the Dems will trash the US economy….or Bush will go on a massive veto binge well yer right

yaakov, why do u think the room would be worse, can’t chatter ignore racist etc commenters they disagree with, rather than ops booting?

Bush will trash the economy with them.

Dr. No is one weboh…..he has not yet

FreeNode #politics is a free-for-all, not even flooding will get you kicked. You can use /ignore to eliminate a lot of the garbage, though. You could try that.

JustinFra, go to freenode and see how that works.

Bullshit. He already has.

ty yaakov, presumably u think that rooms is worse? why?

and weboh…Bushmoron , Bushitler, and standard BDS are all rather old

ty thetailor

People who can stand it are few, the quality of the discussion is no better.

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AP) — U.S. Rep. William Jefferson easily defeated his fellow Democratic opponent in a runoff election Saturday, despite an ongoing federal bribery investigation.

freenode is filled with nazis and communists

proof that democrats will elect any criminal

and NWO freaks

yes…Bush has wrecke dthe USA…DOW is at aklltime high..unemployment is low… what Herzen said….

hmm yaakov, my experience of Excite’s soapbox was that people could tolerate others threatening to hunt them down like a dog and kill them

freenode is chock full of nuts

JustinFra, and futher, if those are the rules you like, why are you here? You should be on freenode.

Bush has guaranteed the republican party will lose election. We didn’t even win when Bush was elected.

I am not talking coffee

I have a *very* quiet channel called #discourse. I get a few visitors, otherwise it is very quiet.

JustinFra, that and your halfassed views perfectly fir with the children there. fit that is.
