Yes, those are all examples of statements that could be construed as political. Are you saying that people on their deathbed should only say things that everyone agrees with?
-
Odd, no?
I think if you know how to punch, there are ways to do it without damaging your hands (or so said my black-belt karate friend as he made fun of my other friend who broke his hand in a hockey fight).
-
Ok, so at least we both agree that Layton's actions were classless.
Still suffering from the reading comprehension, eh? No, I was just quoting you admitting that you find yourself to be classless. I guess sometimes the truth hurts.
But why is talking politics on your deathbed classless? You keep insisting it is, but you aren't able to articulate why.
-
Well, I'd say it's equally bad form to use your death for partisan political purposes.
You really still don't get it? Wow.
-
That's what's got me really wondering now - how could his hands have remained unmarked - no bruises at all?
The hotel video showed him using his feet.
-
You just said it's "equally bad form." You really should work on your comperhension of what you're writing. It looks foolish when you contradict yourself.

Well, I'd say it's equally bad form to use your death for partisan political purposes.
So you have no qualms being "equally classless"?
I'm not surprised.
Personally, I think a person's last words are their own, and they can say whatever they want. If they want to restate principles that they spent their life fighting for, that's certainly their perogative.
If Ronald Reagan's dying words were a call for smaller government, somehow I think you wouldn't have a problem with that.

In western society, it's considered bad form to vilify, scorn, or disparage the recently deceased, even if you disagree with them politically.
Unless, of course, they are Osama bin Laden.
-
I think using your death to promote your political agenda and partisan politics can definitely be characterized as classless.
Of course you think that. But it's not nearly as classless as you were in attacking him for it.
-
I did not call Layton a classless buffoon. If I was going to call Jack Layton a classless buffoon, I'd come right out and say it.
Let me also assure you that I am not saying this response is one of the most weaselly denials I have ever seen on this board.
-
Yeah, but when Obama donated over 14% of his income to charity, Shady rounded it down to 1%.
-
do tell. what do ted haggard and larry craig say?
I believe they prayed the gay away, like Michelle Bachman's husband.
-
Uh, if you ever decide to respond with something besides troll posts, let me know.
Right. Because calling a recently deceased person a classless buffoon is an honest attempt at provoking reasonable discussion.
-
It does show, however, why there are no good conservative comedians. They just don't know funny.
-
And Layton wrote a letter using his own death to push his agenda. What was that about a classless buffoon?
Excellent example of a classless buffoon!
...not Jack, of course.
-
Actually she didn't threaten to release anything. She said she knew of something that would likely come out. She may well be expecting Romney supporters to let it slip.
-
. Like I said, the most hateful person in media today. I'd reference it, but what does it matter.
I figured out after the "Obama donated 1% of his salary to charity" comment that if you refuse to source it, you're lying.
-
I don't think I've ever seen that kind of attempt to influence the voting public before.
Goodness. Politicians are trying to influence the voting public? In an election year? Unthinkable!
-
I am personally shocked at the number of fellow Democrats who say they want to vote for Romney.
That's probably because your "fellow democrats" would be called "Republicans."
-
you started off with a premise concerning protests against Canadian government interest in a Romania goldmine. Until you support that claim and show that the involvement goes beyond a single Canadian corporate interest in that goldmine (one the Canadian company already owns 80% of), your OP and thread title, in that context, makes no sense.
Silence sometimes speaks volumes - this would be one of those times.
-
How high exactly? I'd venture to say your chances of dying in Rexdale or Downtown Winnipeg are greater.
I spent four nights at the Fort Gary Hotel in downtown Winnipeg last summer. I didn't realize I was supposed to be frightened.
-
I was speaking of the Muslims - they are probably cooking up a story to make the police appear guilty.
Those crafty muslims...
-
I tried to make out a serious response to your post, and get back a bad joke. What else can I say?
A serious response? All you did was say I hate Jews.
-
I didn't mean to twist anything.
Playland Amusement Park is a large buffer.

That's just a personal value judgement that few share. You can do what you want with your death, but the rest of us think it's even more (and not just "equally") classless to pass judgement on how someone else conducts their death.
