trying to grok

It may be a troll, in which case it isn't interested in being understood, just noticed. I wouldn't waste any more time on it if I were you, it's not worth the effort.

Just sayin'.

JT, but a troll who's been around for 3+ years? That seems excessive if he's just here to flame me for kicks. I am majorly curious why he keeps reading my site.

I noticed the last post he became all worked up over was the Jodie Foster one? Maybe he has a crush on you?? Hmmm...could be. ;)

Sarah so sorry I was offensive, but in case you haven't noticed it has been a bit more than 4 years, and what brought me here was a link, you remember the "clueless fucktard dumb" link?? Well I found that to be rather unfounded, and while there may be things I agree on I see no need to reinforce those things as I would only be "cheer leading" you. It is in our differences where I find human beings most interesting, sorry you feel differently. We all have so much in common as humans, that I like to explore the differences. I know I may come across as a bit boorish at times, but for me to try to be otherwise would be rather disingenuous, what you see in print is pretty much the way I am in person. I'm just a working class stiff with a bit more non-formal education, than is usual. Hell you should see me when I rip people that cheer lead in favor of the war, but seem to refuse to join the military. My whole point in the Foster thread was about how we ALL grow and change, and if we assess ourselves honestly we are rather a bit more self absorbed assholes @ 19 & 20 than we are @ a later age. Children do tend to make you have to lose your focus upon your self. Oh and a quick note yours is one of only two "conservative blogs" I bother to read, and just so you know there are two "liberal blogs" I bother to read, and two "moderate blogs" as well. I am usually just as acerbic on those as I am here.

Again Sorry to offend.

I don't agree with you on a lot of your opinions either. That being said you present yourself in an intelligent manner, write well, and have some amusing stories. I enjoy reading your blog whether or not I agree with you. Keep blogging and ignore those that can't respect your opinions!

You know, I'm only speaking for myself here, but Bubba isn't so much offensive to me as he is just downright irritating and plain mean.

I mean, not wanting to comment on threads he agrees with for fear of cheerleading? What a horrible way to have some sort of human relationship with someone! "I don't want to tell you when you're right, or when you're doing a good job. But, damn straight I will jump down your throat when I feel like I need to point out you're a horrible person who is leading the world down the road to evil!"

And sometimes, Bubba, it sure does seem like you just act rude and crotchety just to be rude and crochety. Not to mention the inability you seem to have of admission to when you yourself are wrong. That's just not pleasant to be around.

FWIW, on the Foster thread I pointed out that you are telling Sarah she's some kind of hypocrite for expecting Foster to own up to the fact that people were really shot, as if we should just shrug it off to "teenagers". Well, if we can expect a 5 year old to say please, thank you, and excuse me, I don't think it's out of bounds for a 19 year old to feel bad someone was REALLY shot, and not "camera" shot. Your point was silly, and beside the point of what Sarah wrote, and seemingly only written to be the contrary "adult" in the picture.

You continually try to deride someone who genuinely reaches out and tries to make the world a better place. Sarah makes preemie hats for the hospital, she made dolls to send to Africa, and she is one of the most supportive friends a military wife can have. None of this do you ever acknowledge.

That just makes you plain irritating. I hope you're only like that on the internet.

I visit this site often and have never commented, mostly because I am not in the military and have no family members in the military, so I think I would add little to the discussions. But I will comment here because I work with a Bubba Bo Bob Brain. Also, I met more than a few of them in law school.

These are people that think that they are being sophisticated by intentionally stirring the pot. They are condescending - acting like without their insights the rest of us would miss the big picture. When confronted, they will employ the I was just trying to present an opposing viewpoint argument and then apoligize to you for your lack of understanding.

Sarah, you really have a lot more patience than I do in even trying to understand (or grok as you say) this individual.

On another matter - I justed wanted to say my prayers and thoughts are with you in your goal to have a child. My wife and I waited a few years for our first (won't say how long) and the second came a short time later. Keep believing and things will work out for you and your husband.
