"You got me totally wrong, LT."

Maybe, maybe not.

"First of all, as I said in another post, I'm in no way a left-winger, except on social issues."

Yep, and that's kind of a problem since I said nothing about left or right. You are not using preprogramed remarks are you? How can you be in no way a lefty, except on social issues? That would mean that you do swing to the left in some ways. What is not a social issue?

"Second of all, yes, I do like to believe that I'm somewhat above petty propaganda, and I'm able to recognize it from all parts of the political spectrum"

And that's a problem also. Tell me Flesh, what is propaganda, and who uses it? It's been my expirence that those that think they are not, and can not, be propagated are usually the one that are taken in the most by one side or the other of any given issues propaganda. You didn't answer directly, so I will have to assume your answer means you think you hold the truth. Where do you get your truth from Flesh?

"I don't really care what you think about me."

Sure ya do! Why else would you try to explain yourself to me?

"Thirdly, I never said muslims aren't so bad when you compare them to christians. I said that Islam is a religion that is not more violent, or less, than Christianity. Don't take my words out of context."

You go first on the context thing! BTW, what I said was, "what you "seemed" to be saying". That is what it seemed like you were saying to me. Your kind of a picky one ain't ya?

"You seem so sure of yourself when you say that Islam is inherently violent."

I am sure of myself. Are you unsure of yourself?

"I wanna know where you got this opinion from, because your argument for everything boils down to "because I say so."

I thought you didn't care? Oh well, I guess you do care after all. I get my opinion from me. I don't get my opinon from others. I am the only source for my opinion. Who is it that tells you what your opinion is?

"If you're gonna convince people, you gotta do better than that"

I don't do this to change other peoples minds, I do it to change mine.
