I'm not even sure there has been an instance of people addressing anyone in a hateful manner, or implying anything violent against another human being.

There never is. It's ALWAYS the quiet ones. =]

I'm getting pretty tired of the older generation's mentality that we need to learn from our own mistakes, yet when anyone asks what the mistakes were, the older generation chuckles and doesn't respond. It's been a theme several times around the boards and in the world, and that contributes just as much to any problem as anything else does. I expect that sort of stuff in a debate because it can help you "win" the debate, the currently vogue thing to do in debates, but to have it come from people who claim to want to help is really old.

Alright, I'll spell it out for you.  YMT was only saying "You're wrong" to everything you said in response to his posts because that is how he views pretty much everyone's response to each other on political issues.  And he's right, too (I can't believe I just wrote that).  It is quite interesting to see how a majority of posts on here are followed by another response about why the original response was wrong.  Then the author tries to clarify, and again, it's followed up by another post that basically states the new post is "wrong."  Then, when they ask why it's wrong, very little is said as to why it's wrong, just that it is wrong.  Now you should really know how it feels to be "wrong."  There was very little point in YMT posting any of his political views because surely, a post would pop up stating that he "is wrong."  It's an endless debate of people being wrong.

This thread is now about Willy Wonka.

You see. This is much more fun. 

Wonk - Someone who loves politics and discussion of politics.

Wink - Someone who should not be taken seriously.   

I read way too far into these posts sometimes.  Seriously, don't take my explanations of what I THINK YMT means as accurate.  He loves to kid and so do I, but I'm only guessing as to the reasoning behind his posts.  He probably laughs at my explanations because they are so far away from what he actually meant that it's hilarious.

You were actually stunningly close to my intentions. The only miscue was the part about me sharing "my political views." I am anti-political (apolitical?). I have no views to share, other than politics is the root of all sorts of evil. The only reason we have politics in the first place is because we couldn't trust God's decisions over our own (I'm looking at you Israel asking for a King). 

As far as the whole violence/Arizona shooting thing, I have no idea if my interpretation reflected anyone's feelings at all.  I apologize if that misled/made anyone nervous/made a bad impression.  I did not mean it in bad taste, so again, I apologize if it came off that way.

In spite of your username, I don't think any of us perceive you as a psychopath.

Wow, well, I'm glad to see that I WAS pretty much on target... It's almost kind of scary. However, I guess I have you fooled in the Psychopath department... because I do think like one sometimes.   (Which is why I love reading books about them)  .  God just got to me first and I'm pretty sure He has plans to use my crazy mind for good.

The reason we chuckle is that you really can kill two birds with one stone!

Which we thought of after our wives had actually driven over two squirrels at once.
Which we thought of after we remember how Rainman just wanted to drive.
Which we thought of after Jenny McCarthy's son.
Which we thought of after who would be considered a better Riddler than Jim Carrey.
Which we thought of after this riddle:

"If a young person asks you to point out their mistakes and you tell them, they take offense and call you arrogant old $#*+!"
"If a young person asks you to point out their mistakes and you don't tell them, they take offense and call you arrogant old $#*+!"

What should Oedipus do?

Well, I am glad to see the Christian road here. Because if something could help someone, Christians definately shouldn't do it, especially if they think they will get called $#*+!
