Personally, I think Menno made his point fairly eloquently.

that's because you know how to read big words and long paragraphs.

Correction, its because he bothers reading (wading) through the two encyclopedias first.

anyway, it doesnt take an essay to prove a point. Unless you want people responding to every single point you have within your essays (enormously big long and boring posts), which suck. lol. Short and to the point not long drawn out boring things that people cant be arsed reading.

If you want long paragraphs and useless facts, try the fan fiction area. :evil:

Apparently several people cannot read. The long "essay" was a reply to Franz about what I thought about the media (which was seperate from the topic at hand, and could not be done with a couple of sentences). My reply about the Iraqi Army was a paragraph each in my last few replies (which were my responses to you). Hence you didn't have to read an essay.

Menno, on average most of your posts are gargantuan. thats what i was referring to, its over excessive to prove a point or two.

lol relax kiddo, its just not neccasary to post everything you know about the subject to prove a point or two. Chill and rejoice, for saddam was busted today.

I think Menno's posts are virtually always well-written and topical. I often find myself wanting more, actually.

I like long posts--it means he's backing up his arguments with facts. If he just said "I BET TEH TROOPS LFT CAUSE DAY AR PUSSIES" it wouldn't have been as strong an argument. Who cares how long his posts are, it's a forum--aren't you reading crap no matter who's spewing it?

Good luck--and hey, at least you're not working in a filthy super market surrounded by old people in vests and fat white women in spandex...and I never said I agreed or disagreed with Menno, merely that it's nice to see someone make a convincing argument, rather than just saying some uninformed opinion with little or no actual fact behind it.

And I seriously support Menno, for even if he often disagrees with me, he at least respects me like an opponent in a public debate, where as *some people* just drop the fancy talk and go "you don't know fuck you num-nut shitbird" on every occasion.

Menno, you should run for President. You'd be the best damn democrat of the bunch.

Haven't you been paying attention?

All these guys have been set up to lose, so Hillary can be the first woman president.

Maybe US should make history *big time* and vote Halley Berry for president? Black AND woman! If only she was a lesbian...

The prez was black in some ass-teroid movie a couple years ago.

God was black in some Jim Carrey movie.

It shows the general move of the people to "prove" they aren't racist. Whatever.

I'd write long post if I was perfectly bilingual, writing long posts just force me to find more words so I don't repeat myself :/
