You are absolutely right. I know nothing about you. I'm kind of lazy myself. I don't have too much time to volunteer for the homeless hippies and all. I'm usually working my job 45-74 hours per week. I DO donate to United Way, St. Josephs School for Indians, and the AICC.

I agree with your contention that ALL THE POLITICIANS in Washington D.C. deserve our vitriol. I'm just so tired of Bush getting blamed for everything and the old "Bush-bashing".

If it makes you feel better, I plan on sending some of my soiled boxers to the White House, but I'm waiting until about January 20.....

I can't really give my old shoes to charity. I've only got 4 pair: My work boots, my regular pair of hiking shoes, my moccasins, and my flip-flops. My wife, on the other hand, is a regular Imelda Marcos herself. She could probably afford to donate six pair of hers!

I had to check the link out, as I thought it was some kind of wind-up. It wasn't until I saw the order form that I thought how sick.

I didn't imagine it being the real deal. I thought it might have been artificial.

I am not a vengeful person, so that just wouldn't do. However, there is a lot of people out there, who would.

Bush won't be in office long, so I can imagine, that if people sent that to him-he wouldn't see it.

The idea of sending shoes instead would be better. It would be a great way to say Bye-Bye Bush. No doubt, he will still be in the scenes somewhere when Obama takes over.

You are sad.

The leader of the free world being assulted is comparable to a battlefield thug. I know YOU think that is a fair comparison but most don't.

Having a person assult the President is offensive. It is NOT equal to a thug who knows the plans of an imminent attack on US soldiers or citizens and you need to make him talk. Your sense of reality is as deep as a puddle.

I am sending the shoes that smell so bad that Hazardous Material Crews refused to handle them. I loved watching that little monkey duck.

Ashamed of ousting a leader that had snubbed the UN and killed women and childred and fathers at his leisure. Thats really something to be ashamed about. Im sure there are millions of unheard voices that are grateful that are not under a tyranic ruler that kills at his own whim.


Who? Bush?

Why?! Why?! I don't get it.. It doesn't make sense to me.


lol... more of the same attacks. Man you just need to chill out. If being a child means not having so much anger, then I'll gladly take the title.
And no, it still doesn't make sense. That's just a fact that I pointed out. If you don't like it I don't see why you should hate me for it so much.

Nowhere in the OP did it ask, "I'm looking for a reason to send a
pair of shoes to the White House, any reasons why I shouldn't"?!

He clearly believes that it sends a harmless message on his way
out the door. You are the only one who keeps crying, that you
don't get it.


In a thread, there is usually a thought and an opposing thought.
I am not the only one who thought this is a bad idea.
Yes, I'm crying being I'm 19 and I'm a child - whatever makes your actions feel more justified.


Originally posted by cluckerspud
And then you.. a 19 year old know it all, Judge of the stupid start
posting about how you don't get it. So therefore, everyone else must
be crazy, suffer mental illness or is retarded. Wake up kid.
Welcome to the real world.


'Welcome to the real world'... The 'real world' is just the thing I'm trying to correct. By pointing out how stupid many of the things are in this 'real world'.

You know what's funny? Your first insult to me was that I was an old man, now it's that I'm an immature child. Whatever insult to get the job done, huh? Even though the only immature action is to send a shoe to your own government.
Sir, you may have traveled the world, you may have kids, you may have gone to war, you may have gratuated from Harvard - It really doesn't matter, because all of that is just fogging up my original message which all of those expieriences can say nothing against.
That being that it's an immature action that will send a bad message.

If by "wake up kid" you mean accepting that some people will do immature things, then I've already woken up, however, if by "wake up kid" you mean that I should sit back and accept it, then you won't be so satisfied.

Pick my statement apart line by line if you choose to. However, this
post warrants no response from you. But something tells me you
will have to get the last word in, even though you have less and less
of a point with every response.


Warrants no response from me? How about I respond to you full of hate and paint you out to be something you are not and see if you respond to set the record straight.

Originally posted by cluckerspud
Until then, grow up.


Yes, I have a lot of growing up to do. However, pointing out the immaturity of this 'plan' is one of the most 'grown up' things I could have done.
Maybe that's why you don't like it.
I'd also like to think that after I've grown up, I won't be so full of hatred...

He, it's mister high&mighty...

Dude, don't make me repeat your words...

I'm done here. Hopefully someone will realize that this is pointless.



You were done here ,remember. This is only for those who have a sense of humor. Enjoy your pizza and just sit back and do nothing. Please express your anger somewhere else....

You obviously have to paint me as something I'm not to feel good about yourself, so have at it.
Yes I said I was done here, but that was before 'cluckerspud' had his field day and made me look like Satan himself just for believing that we should show some respect to our own government.
I'm not mister "High and Mighty", though if that's how you view me then maybe that says more about you than me .
I will enjoy my pizza, thankyou. However, I'm not the one angry enough to send old shoes to people lol...
I just think it's immature and disrespectful, and you hate me for that lol...
Go ahead and send me an old shoe if you must - but don't paint me to be something I'm not just so you can feel better about your immature actions.
Good day.

Since you have habbit of correcting peoples spelling eventhough my native tongue isn't english (i think i'm doing a pretty damn good job) i wouldn't dare to start an argument with you but somebody more able with words in your language put it like this:

I think your problem is the condescending tone in your posts.

People have chosen to mail their shoes, who do you think you are going about judging them by that? Because in fact you are placing judgement. I'll explain that using "logic".

You call the action stupid, therefore what does that make the people who partake in the action?

You voiced your opinion, which is ALWAYS appreciated, yet you continue to prolong the debate on what was meant to be a light and humorous post. Furthermore, with every response, you grow more and more disrespectful. What does that say to me? That you obviously think that much more highly of yourself and you revel in attempting to prove that to those who are opposing you.

Grats on being 19, you're what? Less than a quarter of a century old. Maybe in your classroom you can pull off the high and mighty routine, but these forums aren't the kind of school you can just walk around with your chest puffed out like a rooster.

On topic:
I actually felt bad for Bush when they threw the shoe at him, it hurt me to see how some treat the President of our country. That's like if Queen Elizabeth decided to visit and our journalist decided to throw shoes at her, like HELLO SHE'S THE QUEEN.

Regardless of what blasphemies Bush has committed he is STILL POTUS, and will still be referred to as Mr. President even after he's out of office. I saw it as a sign of MAJOR disrespect.

But then again, and this was stated before in this thread, respect is earned, and he really hasn't done much to earn our respect either, so while I think it's sad that OUR country's most esteemed Ambassadorial position was basically spit upon, I'd still send the shoe, I don't think they'd get offended, or flip out and enact more anti-terrorism laws...in fact I think ol' Dubbya would find it kinda funny.

haha

Left-wingers or liberals are funny that way.....Rather than donate their used shoes to charity, they'll find their hatred for a President more "important". Do you not see the hypocrisy in yourselves yet?

Peace, Love, and Charity! Yup, a hippie is crying somewhere right now!


Ya JESUS and WAR.

Martin Luther king was a Republican...

But a liberal first.

I thought that was so funny when it was mentioned on the news and on ATS!


You'd get tazered and beaten at the LEAST, then indefinitely imprisoned like that poor sap over in Iraq right now.

Then you'd goto trial and get a few YEARS in prison ..

That would suck :-)
