    Not how it read to me at all, but I could be wrong. Its only text and the internet after all. But he did try to point out something without even asking a question to help better understand. He simply made a statement that it seems hypocritical. Took a stance and basically came to a conclusion without investigating or inquiring further.

    Id read again. You didn't ask a question. You assumed and went with it.

    My responses would have been much different if you would have asked, instead of stated. Tell me how that isn't a judgmental statement and is asking a question?

    Let's forget about questionable analogies that have nothing to do with what we are talking about. This is straight talk, with no diversions from the subject at hand. I personally find your thoughts on this subject matter to be inane and dangerous. Then again, you have the freedom of choice to believe this. And I haven't made up anything. I'm just using your words. Either your words mean something or they don't.

    Read above. Not gonna go round and round. You started out making assumptions. Not asking questions.

    It's not being judgemental to read someone's written words, and assume they meant them.

    My words mean nothing. Id move on., Nothign to see here since you fail to see how your first statement in fact was not a question as you insinuated, but rather a judgment based off of one statement without any further investigation into that statement.

    I also think it bullshit to play the victim card when someone is just reading what you write and responding with logic

    But its incorrect to go back and state you were asking a question.

    And yes it is being judgemental without inquiring how I come to that conclusion or if your judgement even entails all of my thoughts on the matter.

    You were absolutely being judgmental.. Whether you are aware of it or not. The fact you think you asked a question kinda proves that.

    Its all good. I'm already over it. But also know coming here and posting was just another mistake. The outcome never changes...

    I agree it is a valid question and one worthy of discussion. I would say if we do not play a part in electing our leaders on a national level it does strike at the core of our freedom. I agree with OB that we don't have as much freedom of choice as we might think. But, letting more go would work only to minimize our freedom.

    I think refiguring the EC by giving all states the same representational power would be the most effective action, but as it has been said in this very thread, that wont happen because smaller states want to keep their advantage. They won't give up.

    You say you are for freedom of choice but don't want the people to be able to choose their leader. This is coming out very hypocritically. The bullshit meter is going up to 11 here.

    Not attacking anyone. I wouldn't respond to him if I didn't like him. If we, the people are not electing leaders on a national scale, then do we really have freedom of choice? I think that is a valid question. Instead our friend keeps thinking I'm making assumptions and being political and judgmental.


    Where is the question I was asked?


    I mean really. WTF...

    Ok. There was some assuming and some judgment based on what you had written. I am trying to take the step that should have been taken. Can you clarify what you mean, so no one is left to assume.

    He asked me a question in that post. Maybe it wasn't asked before that. It was asked of me and I answered.

    But that is all semantics anyways, and we are arguing over vocabulary, when that doesn't mean a damned thing. I am done talking to you about this because you can't even talk about it.

    I know we aren't supposed to call out other posters but when a person who called me hateful and disgusting in those exact words says others are being judgmental, something doesn't add up.

    Over it and moved on. When someone says i'm playing victim in the face of the FACT that it was shown he didn't ask a question like he insinuates... this is just a circus. And proves to me there is nothing to learn here from those who are involving themselves in this conversation when they cant even admit they never asked a question but made a judgemental statement.


    A couple small words changes everything. Instead of saying it seems hypcritical to me, I would have asked if it seems hypocritical. That would show a bit of respect worthy of a respectable reply.
