- And lo, sac@gnv.ifas.ufl.edu spake unto the masses saying:
- >
- > No, Jen. Both you and dan quayle are light-weights who hold politically
- > outmoded opinions
-
- Hmmm....
-
- different political views = politically outmoded opinions?
-
- So much for political pluralism. If you don't agree with me, your opinions
- are outmoded. Nice one.
-
- > and justify those opinions with "That's just the way it is."
-
- Heh. I've been sitting out this little quarrel since my opinions on the
- subject differ substantially from both the main viewpoints that've been
- expressed and I have no intention of airing them, but of the two sides I'd
- say it's the side of Jenni and that guy in Canada whose name I forget that
- *has* been making a decent attempt to justify their opinions. Unlike some
- of the PC-er than thou rantings coming from certain individuals on the
- other side. Remind me for a moment Scott, just which side was it that
- brought Nazis into the debate?
-
- Just my 0.02 ecu. Given that both sides seem to hold their opinions fairly
- solidly (i.e. nobody is about to change their minds) and that the
- entertainment value of this thread, never high in the first place, has
- dropped to somewhere just below nil, rendering any further "debate" a
- complete waste of time and bandwidth, 0.02 ecu is all I'm going to give it.
