My prof said a few things that pissed me off and she also has a tendency to really oversimplify things. Okay, I know it's an intro course, but America really needs informed voters who will do research beyond the soundbyte level.

I realize you said that it's wrong either way, but if you want to argue about which way professors are skewed, please do it in politics.

And not everyone who criticises the current leadership of America is anti-American. The First Amendment is there because democracy needs open discussion.

I'm not going to argue my opinion against yours, but please respect my right to hold it.

Look, I am allergic to political discussion on this forum (not on other forums, btw, just here), as you know. I will not be drawn into it. I will not take your bait. And bait it is.

I have a right to disagree with you and I have a right to disagree with Bush. And I don't appreciate being all but accused of treason for participating in democracy, which is what your statement about, and characterization of, opponents of Bush's war amounts to. I think you knew exactly what you were doing.

I gave you a carefully neutral, nonpartisan synopsis of my objections to my professor. And I said I didn't appreciate your very non-neutral response to my first carefully neutral post about my professor. I shouldn't have taken the bait even to that degree. I should have ignored you.

That is exactly what the fuck I was talking about and I think that you know that. If you don't, then I really can't help you.

BTW, do you want to know what's wrong with political science education?

Do you really want to know?

So, the stories you're telling are both sides, are they?

The following paragraph rephrased for nicotine withdrawal and EXTREME provocation: You insult both my intelligence and yours when you claim that you don't know what I am upset about. Yours, that you claim you don't understand, and mine that you think I would believe that you don't.

But the "thanks for the laughs" gives it away. You baited me. You're proud of yourself for pissing me off. Gee, what does that make you? Welcome to my ignore list.

And I'm sorry you don't like the first amendment. Don't worry, it'll be gone soon. Thanks to people like you. How very patriotic of you to protect our freedom like that.

I just want to say, I'm not pointing any fingers at anyone in particular with this comment. But I'm not quite sure what you two were arguing about. No one really said anything bad and then all the sudden, everything is all freaked out.

Enhance your calms.

Black Sunday didn't call liberals Anti-American. He called liars anti-americans. and though many liberals are liars, that doesn't mean all of them are anti-american. Of course I'd have to say there is probably a similar proportion of liars/non-liars in the conservatives as well. You just gotta watch out for those non-partisan people. They're the biggest liars of all.

*looks around nervously*

I swear I'm not non-partisan..... I'm not a liar... *looks around some more*

ok... don't make me take away your fruit loops.
