That's crap. Read the threads on the housing con game or the dollar or 9/11. Mountains of information provided by me. If you can't make it out, the blame's on you.
I will say that after posting this I read a few of your posts that weren't all over the place. So, I guess I just mean to say some of your posts; a lot of your posts. You post a lot. I was just trying to say that you should reel it in a bit, at times, and have an actual conversation with us, rather than turning a lot of threads into your diatribes about the same thing.

When I told you what I'm doing this weekend, it wasn't that I was oblivious to your question. I was trying to tell you that I'm not going to let whatever Israel has been up to in recent history fuck my head up to the point that I can't leave the house this weekend. There is absolutely nothing that I, or you, can do to change the goings on in Israel. I'm not going to beat my head against a wall about it. I'm going to try my best to enjoy my tiny little slice of the world, and that currently involves girls and cubs games.
I haven't claimed anything. All I said was that Ranxerox's post made me think. I don't live in Israel. I'm not a zionist. I'm just a guy. When I have felt strongly about something, I've actually done something about it. I didn't have to join the Iraq Survey Group, but I thought that I might actually make a difference in doing so. I was wrong. I have my flaws, but I'm glad that I actually get involved when I'm passionate about something. I joined the Iraq Survey Group to go stumble around the desert looking for lies. I joined Iraq Veterans Against The War because I want to know when there's an anti-war rally that I can go to. It's not much, and I know that, but what can I do? I'm tired of war and want a life where I don't have to think about it, so I avoid scrunitizing the minutia about the war. There's nothing I can do about it anymore. When I have an opportunity to vote in a way that will end it, I will. Obama pledges to remove our soldiers from Iraq. I believe him. I don't care if he sends them all to Afghanistan; that's where the war is supposed to be anyway. I'd reenlist and go to Afghanistan right now if they'd let me.
What are you doing? Do you really think sparring on electrical.com is making a difference? It isn't. You have all this knowledge, and you're convinced that none of us have it, but what are you doing with it? There are occasions where I value the threads you start, but you're not winning hearts and minds on this website, ever.
