There is also absolutely no reason for quotes like this ....speaking of the President of the United states...or actually about any other human being when speaking publicly...

"Also, Bush's core belief was found only after years of wandering and drug use."

Does that count as something that shouldnt be said or is that deemed ok ?



From what I have seen, heard and read, it is pretty accurate. Personally, I don't care what someone did in their youth so long as it truly harmed no one else (other than your parents -- that's always a given). That is the time to explore, learn and then grow into your beliefs. It is how most of us "discovered" ourselves -- through the trials and tribulations of youth and young adulthood. Since I did not see it as a complete condemnation (from my viewpoint), I could find no reason to really say anything.

Let me understand the rules.....you can make this general all encompassing personal remark about the President of the United States and that is acceptable, HOWEVER, if you bring up the background and training of the young Senator wanting to be President, that does not count nor should it be discussed....you can say this about the President of the United States, but alas, please dont mention it regarding the young senator.

You say I should respect this young man from Illinois for being selected to be the nominee for President, however, dont say his full name because that is disrespect (I KNOW you didnt say it exactly that way), but it is ok to make fun of the President because you dont agree with his policies.

I asked the question if it was appropriate for this kind of talk on here since you were offended by others saying things about Sen Obama.

Obviously you feel it is appropriate to say these kind of things since you didnt answer if it was appropriate or not...just said you think it is accurate !

Very disappointing.

I am amazed at folks who post here. I have NEVER called anyone a name...I have NEVER called Sen Obama anything but Sen Obama. I have said if he is elected I will respect him as my President, but I did bring up things about his training. For that I have been told I am without shame..that I need help of some kind of professional help, but the same folks post things about a young man using drugs which as you say happens and I hve never heard anyone make a remark about Sen Obama on that count.

The rules on here seem to be one way for one group and another for the rest of us peasants.
