		<description>The idea that becoming Republican is a natural part of maturation is bunk. Try to find a Depression-baby that&#039;s not a staunch Democrat. I used to think I just adored the elderly, til I met the generation that came after the people who remembered the Great Depression. The generation after them is generally priggish and authoritarian---the angry, bitter Fox News viewers. 

If the Depression babies were alive in sufficient numbers during the W. era---you would have seen the effects of their activism. They would have been out rocking the vote, and educating people about the issues and the way government works in droves. 

Alas, there aren&#039;t that many of them left. It seems we have depressions and major wars when the last generation that remembers them has died out.</description>

		<description>You haven&#039;t answered my question at all.

You have avoided dealing with my question and put me off by claiming that the names I seek are in the classified documents that Cheney claims the CIA is withholding. 

I ask you one last time... are the ONLY people in the world who think this works and is a good idea the ones who ACTUALLY did it or ordered it?

You don&#039;t see that as a problem? A conflict of interest?

If this worked sometimes, under specific circumstances, couldn&#039;t you find just ONE professional to say that? 

But I&#039;ve looked... and I can&#039;t find one. 

And you haven&#039;t been able to, either.

And yet you&#039;re sure that Cheney must be right and proper and that it is the names of Professional interrogarors I&#039;ve provided , many of whom describe themselves as both pragmatic and REPUBLICAN, who have an ax to grind and have &#039;political motives&#039; for coming out against it...

Do you really wanna start defining insanity?</description>

I&#039;ve answered your question many times.  

When you ask the same thing or do the same thing over and over and expect a different result than the one you&#039;ve been getting, isn&#039;t that one of the definitions of insanity?</description>

		<description>No- you can&#039;t name one... that doesn&#039;t tell you something, Romartin? There&#039;s not one professional even willing to say that SOMETIMES, under exactly the right circumstances, waterboarding is both effective and warranted.

That&#039;s your argument, right?

That mostly it&#039;s a bad idea, but that SOMETIMES it&#039;s necessary?

Why can&#039;t you find ONE PROFESSIONAL INTERROGATOR who says that. At this point I&#039;d settle for one who DOESN&#039;T say the exact opposite.

ONE.

But you can&#039;t, &#039;cause there isn&#039;t one... why do you ignore ALL that evidence?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Still obsessing over that point?

You need to ask your President for that information.&lt;/em&gt;

No- to have any credibility on this issue you need to find one professional interrogator willing to say that these techniques are effective and warranted SOMETIMES... all the one&#039;s I&#039;ve named say NEVER.

Where&#039;s one name (they don&#039;t have to admit doing it- just thinking it makes sense) of a professional interrogator who agrees with you.

One.

Otherwise your argument doesn&#039;t hold any water. And you support ineffective and illegal techniques despite the advice of professionals... which at the very least is criminally negligent and stupid.

One name who agrees with you.</description>

Em&#039;s actually not a bad guy. My father worked for him for about two years when he would film a video, do a photo shoot or perform out here in LA (my dad&#039;s a makeup/special effects artist). A lot of the anger is an act to sell albums.</description>

No we don&#039;t.

Look, I can argue just like you!

I can show my disgust for Eminem&#039;s fake &quot;outrage&quot; by not buying his albums. If I try the same thing for my congressmen, I tend to go to jail.&lt;/em&gt;

Correct.  As an American citizen, it is your duty to pay your fair share towards the maintenance of America.  The fact that you seek to skirt your duty tells me just how much of a &quot;patriot&quot; you really are.

We aren&#039;t responsible for pop culture.  We just think it&#039;s stupid to demonize it as a political tactic.

You need to watch what you say, as you are too ready to make insinuations that you have no business making.&lt;/em&gt;

Why did you touch up all those children, anyway?

Hey, A &quot;Patriot&quot;

...put that up against my extensive employment record...&lt;/em&gt;

Congratulations, you&#039;re the one millionth wingnut to come in here and act like holding down a job should earn you a medal!  I hate to break it to you, but it&#039;s not that hard.  All us grown-ups do it.  Life is not the Special Olymics, dude.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Romartin16985 Says: 
locust

Maybe you&#039;re projecting, as I don&#039;t hate our culture.

I detest liberalism and all of the dependency and wasted lives it has fostered.

Things don&#039;t come for free. But if a President promises a free lunch, many will jump at it and now we have an administration that is leading us to economic ruin.
&lt;/em&gt;

wait wait wait! Where was this whining when the last President took us from record surpluses to economic ruin?! What&#039;s with this wasted lives thing? Explain. 

I&#039;ve gone to college on grants and tax payer money. I&#039;m so greatful for the chance to get my education despite losing my money when I was discharged from the Navy. I personally have &lt;strong&gt;no&lt;/strong&gt; problem having money taken from my paycheck to ensure that my fellow Americans get the same chance at an education that I have and can see a doctor when they need to. Wasted life no. I learned a long time ago not to be selfish. 

Once I get my MS I start at $50,000/yr as an intern then move up past 100,000/yr or so. Still no problem helping my fellow Americans get that same chance.</description>

<p>wait wait wait! Where was this whining when the last President took us from record surpluses to economic ruin?! What&#8217;s with this wasted lives thing? Explain. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve gone to college on grants and tax payer money. I&#8217;m so greatful for the chance to get my education despite losing my money when I was discharged from the Navy. I personally have <strong>no</strong> problem having money taken from my paycheck to ensure that my fellow Americans get the same chance at an education that I have and can see a doctor when they need to. Wasted life no. I learned a long time ago not to be selfish. </p>
<p>Once I get my MS I start at $50,000/yr as an intern then move up past 100,000/yr or so. Still no problem helping my fellow Americans get that same chance.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=5677973', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Romartin16985 Says:
locust

Maybe you&#039;re projecting, as I don&#039;t hate our culture.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Try some reading comprehension, Ro. I asked a question of you. I didn&#039;t &quot;project&quot;.

Here&#039;s my comment in response to your complaint that liberalism is everywhere in our culture:



&lt;blockquote&gt;Do you hate our culture?

&lt;strong&gt;If not, &lt;/strong&gt;you should acknowledge the part that liberalism has played in its development.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Now, had I accused you of hating our culture, you might have some leg to stand on. But I didn&#039;t. I asked you to clarify a position that your comment suggested.

I realize this may be a little advanced for you. i&#039;ll slow down if you need me to.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Romartin16985 Says:
Yes, locust, everyone loves Santa Claus.

Who WOULDN&#039;T want to get things for free?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And Romartin doesn&#039;t disappoint with a slapdash, careless reduction and distortion of a point in order to make his own seem less silly by comparison.

Doesn&#039;t disappoint in the failure to achieve that aim either. Romartin&#039;s original point still seems pathetically, irretrievably silly.</description>
