Can we just skip to the part where you pretend your right, declare victory, and run away without ever proving a thing you said as being anywhere close to reality?
    This is so funny in its irony.

    Literally everything in this post is how the majority of this forum has long seen your reasoning and behavior.

      If I make no excuses for bad reporting by consertives and have not once said Fox is better at reporting than CNN why does he continue to try to convince me that CNN is better, if he isn’t defending CNN?
      Did I miss something? Where was I trying to convince you of anything? All I did was state my opinion of FOX, as you had stated yours in regards to other media outlets.

      Just because I attack 'X', that's doesn't necessarily mean I support 'Y'.

        I'm sorry, did you become a moderator again? He can post where he damn well pleases.

          So again, you're making the exact same argument that the other side does.

            I won't disagree with the claim Mother Jones or Slate have said some pretty goofy things (particularly Mother Jones), but have they ever done anything quite as wacky as claiming that the government is abducting kids and forcing them to work as slaves on Mars? Because a guy on InfoWars made that claim.

            Maybe I'm missing an important context, but what exactly is particularly off about the quote in your signature?

              Hmm folks ask yourself this are most of the studies that go the way Starlight and other anti rights folks want them to are paid for by George Soros

              And the crap about there being 18 school shootings since the beginning of this year there are some facts that the gun grabbing group doesn't want you to see start at 1:45 of this video sorry it is longer then a few minutes but it is important for folks to see who is really lying about this issue.


              As for the Florida shooting that guy would never have been able to get any guns much less the AR15 if
              1. obama hadn't set up that young peopel should remain in school no matter how dangerous they showed themselves to be.
              2. the sheriff hadn't said we need to make sure that that school lowers its' violent student count so no one reported him for bring knives and threatening other students.
              3. any of the 40 times the same sheriff's department was called out to handle his threatening behaviour towards his family and shooting around the neighbor hood at neighbors dogs etc..

              He would never have been able to get any type gun much less the one he used. Plus gotten all of his guns he already had confiscated all of this under the existing laws it they had been enforced correctly.

              Who are the true liars about this subject? not the NRA or conservatives but those who demonize others for holding a different view then they do.

                It's a Roy thing... he thinks putting a quote in his signature simply because he disagrees with it is somehow meant to shame the person he's quoting. I've appeared in his signature block once or twice, and I just chuckle because someone unfamiliar with his ideology could very well think that he's agreeing with a perfectly reasonable statement.

                  LPOT's rant is based on the assumption Starlight meant "{lead or chemicals} from fracking" and not the factually more appropriate alternative reading of "lead or {chemicals from fracking}". LPOT then proceeded to rant about Starlight's supposed ignorance for several days without ever considering that she may have misunderstood, despite Starlight telling her where she went wrong.

                      So there were eight school shootings in the US in six weeks, and eight incidents where a gun was discharged accidentally - including one where a teacher brought a loaded weapon into the classroom and allowed a student to fire it without knowing it was a real gun.
                      As for the Florida shooting that guy would never have been able to get any guns much less the AR15 if
                      1. His medical history had been available during a background check.

                        The pot is still trying to tell the kettle how black it is? Perhaps after you’re done with the irony, you’ll get to where I’m wrong and explain how.

                          So if you’re not trying to convince myself or others, why are you on a debate forum?

                          All I did was state my opinion of FOX, as you had stated yours in regards to other media outlets.
                          “I’m just giving an opinion.” Is often used as a way to have to avoid defending said opinion.

                          Just because I attack 'X', that's doesn't necessarily mean I support 'Y'.
                          Same true in reverse. Just because I find CNN’s reporting bad doesn’t mean Fox is any better.

                                Firstly, I've already explained my position to you once, I'm not doing it again. Secondly, there is no right or wrong, this is all a matter of opinion.

                                And thirdly, who do you think you're kidding? I've known you for ten years, and in the time period I'v learned that you will NEVER admit when you're wrong about anything anyways.
