Aw now be nice. Mak2 is just trying to make new friends.
I don't understand why anyone would want to ignore a view that is contrary. Does not a dissenting viewpoint help hone your own belief and make your points sharper?

Neither do I. If I have a problem with a post, I will so state. Otherwise dissenting views are how I learn.
I sometimes I wonder how many ignore lists I am on, but I don't wonder for very long.

Absolutely. So long as we discuss the person's view and not spin off topic discussing personality traits.
I enjoy Mak2's explanations of his divergent points of view. More fun than going to an Arcade. Besides, it is a well known fact that the human brain is the only tool which gets sharper with use. Or is it the human tongue?

I'm sure I am placed there often.
For me the ignore button is a cop out. To suffer fools is part of what one must do to endure the fatigue of freedom.
Either you stand the heat or git out of the kitchen.

I never gave any thought to whether or not I'm on any Ignore lists and if so, how many it might be. Well, I've taken the time (at
least two seconds) to give it some consideration, and have come to the conclusion that I wasted at least two seconds. If someone
wants to ignore me they'll have to live without the pearls being thrown at their feet.

They are afraid what happened to me will happen to them. No, not the head injury
I found something in my studies that the Republicans were completely wrong aobut. Now I approach everything with a critical eye, no matter which side says it. On most forums I am to the right of center, most of my views are very right wing, yet many here cant tolerate even a little dissent. Sad really. I hang out here cause I like hearing what the far right is thinking and sometimes there is something the right is right about. Regardless it gives me a different way to look at things "out there."

Healthy debate is one thing, mak2. But you would defend this president if he said the grass is blue and the sky is green.They are afraid what happened to me will happen to them. No, not the head injury
In this particular case, the entire administration is under order to maintain a lock-step front that the chaos in the Middle East has nothing to do with a thousand years of hatred for the West and Obama's policies, but is in response to an obscure youtube video.
The entire world knows better.

Everybody says I make these discussions personal. Not true in this case, and neither is your statement.

I have no problem with debate, I do have a problem when people are condecending and belittling.

Now that we have diverted the thread to personal items, how about we get back ot the topic.
Has anyone noticed that the Muslims are now burning pictures of Barry, not Bush?
After all the friendly handshakes, after all the ordinance, blood and treasure Barry has sent over to them, after all the promises to help the Brotherhood and democracy in the region, why are they burning him, the annointed one, the emphathic one, the " I am your brother" one, in effigy?

Because they are abunch of fanatic idiots. Obama is the best friend they have in the western world at this moment.
By preference, we should be viewing these pieces of garbage thru a glassy reflection caused by multiple nuclear strikes.

bBecause they view the leader of everything they despise(the little satan-america) as weak. Men in their culture never apologise, and by the leader of the free world doing it they view America as weak. The more they burn our embassies and kill ambassadors with no swift punishment emboldens them even more.

Brandon Raub was a member of the miltary. They do not have freedom of speech in the same manner as civilians.
That said, I do hope he prevails in courtsmartial

He is and was at the time of his detainment, a marine veteran.

If memory serves me, Brandon Raub is ex military. The photos of him in full dress uniform, I believe are older photos.
Too much of this going on. Raub has, like the rest of us, first amendment rights. It seems like anyone who crosses Barry, or even who is needed to make a case, as in
Zimmerman, is thrown under the bus.

I hope they don't follow some posts here. I 'spect many of us might be "ED'd"

I concede your point. It certainly does appear to be another squash effort against an outspoken civilian.

Probably not. In my opinion he's a total nutcase, as are all those who believe our own government planned and executed
the attacks on 9/11/01, but that is not a reason to detain him. As far as I can determine having your bubble a bit off-center
isn't illegal here, at least not yet. If it becomes so I'm going to go into hiding since so many folks, even on here, are sure my
fears of the plans being laid for us the Islamic Supremacists are also unrealistic (ie, crazy).
Maybe we should all worry.
