Your ideologies don't bother me. It's the fact that you're an asshole that bothers me. Approach others' arguments (and ideologies) with a little more respect, man. Stop instigating and stop acting so high and mighty.
If you have a problem with any of that, please do feel free to tell me. Just don't be a dick about it.

Level up: 34%, 36 Points needed | | First, I would Vote for Any party(Almost) that could break the REP-DEM
Monopoly. But I also think the Green party does have some big short
comming, as do most parties.
Here's a party that Sounds pretty good. (on paper at least). http://www.natural-law.org/
And 110+yrs is enough time for the DEMS&REPS to get that Governing thing
down to a science! But they still suck, so time for them to go. |

"Tough of crime" policies simply don't work, and building more prisons is a waste of money and resources. Same goes for increasing police presence.

I really like their views on a range of issues. Thanks for sharing!

My pointing out the fact that you - probably still a teenager - do NOT know anything about college hiring committees and processes is NOT me being "high and mighty" nor is it me "being a dick". I'm speaking from a position of knowledge and experience. You are not. End of story.
So if you want to be a pompous and arrogant smart alec, feel free. But when you're pompous and arrogant AND ignorant, you might just want to be aware of the fact that SOMEBODY will always come along and point out your ignorance.
Get used to it. |

Thanks for playing, though...  |

Jefferson is doing a poor job backing up his side of the debates as his opinion is his only resource.
It just stinks of troll.

You're right, I don't know anything about the college hiring process, but did I ever claim to? Please show me where I made my ignorant claim to know anymore than you do about the college hiring process.
Look closely and you'll see I never made such a claim. I was simply pointing out that fact that you're a jerk and your way of debating is rude and distracting. That's speaking from a position of knowledge and experience.
