I know I make a couple of vanity posts whining, but I just need encouragement or whatever. Arguing with people on this website is extremely difficult, as it's usually me against 5+ people, sometimes all at the same time.

Excuse whatever vulgarities you come across as Free Republic has posting rules and the website mentioned does not.

More of your years will be wasted if you continue to post on that site.

I got the name from a song.

But it also does describe some of my time.

Arguing with liberals is a waste of your time. Unless you like to argue sheerly for the sport of it--I do sometimes--you're not going to accomplish anything.

Zip. Zilch. Nada. Bupkiss. Diddly Squat.

Trying to argue with a liberal using facts and logic is like trying to tie your shoes with your elbows.

Don’t waste your time arguing with liberals. Your goal is to defeat them, not win an argument with them. Your time is better spent at conservative websites generating ideas, and then go trolling left wing websites to blow off steam.

The website I’d say is 50% Soviet-background. Plenty of left-wing cannon fodder I’d say.

Somebody at least tell me I’m doing okay. It seems like everything I say has no effect. We know that about Liberals, but they dismiss everything as childish, no matter what material I present to the table.

Ask yourself what you would post if you lost an argument. Odds are, if they feel they have no logical response, they will either not write back or they will make snarky comments. There is never a "you're right, I guess abortion does really kill people" sort of a post.

Maybe on FR a libertarian could move a republican to think pot should be legalized, but on that other site you're not going to move flaming liberals to accept conservative ideals.

I love debating with these people, too!

Can’t do it too much, or I’ll tear my hair out.

Our local group won’t let anyone on the forum unless they offer their first born in service of the campaign!

It would probably be easier trying to pull an airplane.

It’s pointless. One of the major facets of their dogma is never even CONSIDERING an opposing point of view. They know once they do that, the whole house of cards tumbles

It’s truly pointless to argue with liberals.

History, truth and facts mean nothing to them in the context of a debate.

Sorry to be negative about it, but it’s truly a fruitless endeavor.

someone said not long ago that:

Arguing with a liberal is like trying to pick up
a turd from the clean end ;^)

Um...... those links don’t seem to be political exchanges at all.

Arguing with liberals?

I see how you came up with your name.

You can’t argue with people who don’t recognize facts or who simply make facts up as required.
