I think that usually the people "bad mouthing" their leaders ARE the people who voted for the other candidate.  As long as you vote, you have the right to criticize anyone you want!  It's the non-voters who need to shut their traps!

Yes, it is bad...very bad.  Go look up AdBusters and Culturejammers.  There are groups out there trying to raise public awareness of how the media and corporations have brainwashed the public.

"Clearly hate based" campaign?\n\nLOL.\n\nEvery one - EVERY SINGLE ONE - of Dawkins arguments is intellectual refutation of an IDEA.  Not an attack on a person, not slander.  NOT HATE.   Sorry if intellectually you guys can't cut the mustard, but you can't resort to dismissing Dawkins' ideas as mere hate.

I don't get them often but when I do they are big time hate mail.Ive had my life and my dogs life threatened on here.It doesn't bother me.The race card is the only one they can play and it just doesn't work on me.Those that know me on here ,know I am not a racists ,I never make crud,racial remarks.I do support my stand against with facts and links to back up what I say.I don't like the name calling.It takes any validity from your question,and turns it into only an insult.Just shake it off ,don't let their hate mail get to you.You know how you are inside and that's all that matters.Just ignore them,that's the best thing.We all get them.:)  Both sides do.

While I am certainly no proponent of MLM and will say that the point you are making is correct, do you think its possible you spend a little too much time criticizing?  Every now and then when someone is asking questions and possibly considering MLM, I totally understand pointing out all the things that are wrong with it in order to hopefully prevent one more person from getting involved and wasting their time and efforts, but with all the questions you seem to post on MLM it seems as though you are trying to antagonize.  Maybe you are, maybe you are not, but if you are, you are merely stooping to the level of those in MLM who come in here and call you names and such.\n\nJust my 2 cents.

Nope, but I'm glad you posted it because I am interested in computer graphic/art. BTW, expressing an opinion is not necessarily "soap boxing." I believe that when you ask a question you are also soliciting an opinion/response. Not to be rude but if you ask a controversial question, you might just get an answer that you don't like. Whether or not these people that have lost loved ones in shooting sprees get reminded through the media everyday, why joke about that kind of thing and add to their pain? I'm not saying you were trying to hurt anyone, I'm sure you weren't. It's just that I don't like to think of anyone suffering because I care about people. I was trying to be nice in my response to you but you know what? I have a right to my opinion just like you do. I'm sure you're a nice guy but I have seen the blood and the pain of tragedy as a police officer and I guess really it brought back some of those horrible moments that I so desperately want to forget but can't. I guess I need to lighten up and it was a trauma based inducement of memories of all the things that I'd seen before I retired, more than your question. I read and the images came back to me which is why I reacted the way I did. It's not you, it's me and my memories. I don't drink them away like so many others and when you love people the way that I do, those memories can be very hard on a person. So, if I offended you in any way, I apologize. I just wanted you to stop and think before you posted something like that again because as you can see it does kind of trigger some strong emotions. I hope you understand, Sweetie. (I call everyone Sweetie, so I wasn't being sarcastic as you were in your response to me.) God bless.

Its a little late to campaign.  Call the board of elections and see if they have any opportunities.  Contact any candidate or group put out campaign signs and offer to help take them down.  Most cities require them to be removed within a certain time after the election.

Absolutely, if you do not vote then do not complain. You voice is through voting. Vote, work on campaigns, talk to your friends, if you have them, about your candidate, place signs in yard if Homeowners Association will allow. I worked on my 1st campaign when I was 15 yrs old & 35 yrs later I still try to support them. I hate stuffing enevolpes - always have. I study all the candidates & pick the one that will vote most closely to my beliefs. Then I try to trust & support them after voting for them.

Ya know, I was going to ask that very same question-- but you beat me to it! :)\nI've noticed a multitude of negative postings- not inasmuch as real questions, but merely rantings- about the President. Now if they could only put some basis of fact behind their rant, it might be construed as a good debate. But negative criticism-- which the left deplores when used in the school system or the job place, but seems to enjoy using in politics and in the media as a tool-- is never a positive stepping stone to any type of political argument, is it? How about a little constructive criticism for a change? Or has Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi outlawed anything with a positive tone from their constituents in such matters?

It has happened to me too. However, I count those email nastygrams as a victory.  Look at it this way, you spoke about  whatever opinion so well that you messed with someone else's comfort level.  You have provoked them to think.

Well there are certain things which runs in the background but are extremely critical to proper functioning of the system.\nIn your example the purpose of the ad gets a major setback. Imagine those who are not that well acquianted with the language and interpreting the ad totally wrong.\nMy answer is yes.

One thing you can do is to use the "Report Abuse" link if they say something that you consider to be abusive or offensive.  But the way I usually use when I see questions on here that seem abusive or offensive is to simply bypass them.  If they are going to do that, then they're not worthy of my time and typing.  Maybe if enough people ignore their posts, they will give up and move on.

Because unfortunately this is what passes for political discourse for many in this country today. It is acceptable to criticize policies which you don't like. It is acceptable to dislike the man if you choose. A poster about above me stated that it is patriotic to criticize, I can accept that, but there is a difference between constructive criticism and absolute slander and many just appear to be unable to separate the two. Do not be deterred by the negative responses you have received here. If you like the President for whatever reason that is your right and speaking out about why you like him is perfectly acceptable. Your opinions are just as valid as any of the detractors. Freedom of speech is a double edged sword, while we may not like the things that are said it is still the right of people to say these things. In a perfect world people would intelligently discuss issues, but alas the world we live in is far from perfect.

How does the negative portrayal affect your understanding?  Your understanding should be based on facts, not on negative or positive portrayals....in other words, look at both sides of every issue and remember that the 'victors' are usually the ones who wrote the history books which means that you will take it with a grain of salt.  As you know, there's good and bad in all races.  There's a debate whether morality is ingrained before we were born or was it something we learned from our parents and environment?  I don't know why i threw that it, but i wanted to put it on the table anyway.
