Ted, Ten, grow up! Its not an imposition of my values but a way of life.

So you admit that you're trying to impose your way of life upon me?


Huh?

Life's a bitch and then you die! Deal with it!

Isn't that the exact same attitude you accuse me of having?


Huh? Your response to my statement makes little sense to me.

You'll have to excuse me for getting argumentative, but I feel this is the only way to make my point. You view the world in your own way, and you have your own value system. So do I. Who you support, who you vote for, and who you send your campaign contributions to (if any) directly depends on your values and how you think the world ought to be. You don't live in a vacuum, so there is no getting around the fact that we all try to impose something onto other people, even if it's just BO or our ugly faces or whatever.

The imposition of taxes is not my value system but rather a necessary evil to living in a modern world that I have accepted. And you know that.......but you don't like that position and the fact that the gov't takes your money so you b*tch about it 24/7 and will vote for a bad president simply because he bought you off with a tax cut.

So you can stop telling me how I should judge my leaders. I'm not forcing you or even telling you how to judge Clinton's character, so don't pretend that I am. I am, however, telling you how I personally judge Clinton's character.

You are judging our presidents on their personal lives rather on what's important........their effectiveness as president. Questioning your approach is not imposing my values system or questioning your value system but rather questioning your judgement.

Feel free to call me a hypocrite for doing so. I can understand that, but I can't understand why you continually feel threatened by a guy you've never come face-to-face with, and who's only "weapon" is a bunch of posts on an off-topic Internet forum.

And who is that? You? I don't feel threatened by you. In fact, I don't feel threatened by anyone on this thread. What gave you that idea?

P.S. - There, I'll even let you have the last word, before we get back to our regularly-scheduled "Bush-bashing."

I don't have anything more to say so you can have the last word.
