You can't say the spending freeze won't affect anything and then say wait and see what's in it.

[Hello_Kitty]

You have to pick one of those positions because you can't logically hold both of them.

[tranche]

1. I think it's better not to soil yourself on the internet until you know the details.

[Hello_Kitty]

4. So you've picked your side. eom

[stray cat]

8. education is a side?

[Hello_Kitty]

13. Yep. eom

[tranche]

35. What's my side? Electing not to piss and moan about Obama on a daily basis.

Listen Kitty. As much as I want Daddy to make everything better I believe the decision makers in the Democratic party and government on both sides all the way down to state level are basically corrupted. I can blame everything on Obama and spend my days going keyboard berserk over one man in the executive branch, or I could spend my day figuring out how I'm going to do my small part in helping weed out corruption in government. I elect to do what you and I both know is the more productive endeavour.

[Hello_Kitty]

39. Do tell, Dudley Doright, what sorts of things are you doing?

:eyes:

[tranche]

40. One thing I'm doing is not wasting my life running up 11446 posts on DU.

[Hello_Kitty]

42. Oooh burn!

:eyes:

You're not doing jack shit to root out anything.

[Bobbie Jo]

44. ROFL

Well...there's that. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[tridim]

2. But feel free to trash Obama before you have ANY details whatsoever.

:eyes:

[Hello_Kitty]

5. Thank you for picking your side. eom

[tridim]

6. I'm a Democrat, always.

This issue isn't about picking sides.

[stray cat]

9. I do choose information, facts and details as a side against random speculation

[Hello_Kitty]

11. Okee dokee. eom

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. Corollary.

You can't say it's a bad thing if you don't know what's in it.

Especially when you refuse to listen.

[Hello_Kitty]

7. How can I listen to something that hasn't been explained yet?

:shrug:

Do you know what spending is going to be frozen, HFCS?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

12. Are you actually interested in listening?

No, of course you aren't.

[Hello_Kitty]

15. Yes, I am.

HFCS, tell me what's going to be affected by the spending freeze, the details of which haven't been announced yet.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

18. I'm an astronaut.

"HFCS, tell me what's going to be affected by the spending freeze, the details of which haven't been announced yet"

I don't know, HK, I don't know what's in it; and because of that, unlike kneejerking dumbasses, I haven't formed an opinion yet.

[Hello_Kitty]

21. Okay, so what was I supposed to be listening to then?

What were you referring to when you said I didn't listen? The nonexistent details of this spending freeze?

[tridim]

24. Typically folks like you make up worst-case scenarios in your head and pretend they're fact.

This tactic is rampant on DU since last night.

Have you not noticed?

[Hello_Kitty]

27. I'm actually considerably calmer since that idiotic Deficit Commission was voted down. eom

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

28. LOL! "folks like you..."

31. Accusing fellow DUers of being trolls is against the rules.

But you knew that.

[tridim]

32. That's why I didn't call you a troll.

You are a sky-is-always-falling reactionary though.

[Hello_Kitty]

33. Yes you did. eom

[tridim]

34. No I didn't, you're making up crap in your head again.

I did not say, "Kitty is a troll". If you somehow think I did, alert me. No sweat off my back.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

10. Sorry, Kitty. Logic is for the reality-based community.

That boat sailed a while back.

[dionysus]

14. or we could all wait to see what it actually is, if it actually comes to be,

without going apoplectic.
:shrug:

[Hello_Kitty]

17. Okay, so you're saying wait and see.

Meaning that you admit you have no basis on which to assure anyone that no one will be adversely affected by a spending freeze.

[dionysus]

19. i never assured anyone anything.

i have no idea what your argument is.

22. The second you put an eyeroll smilie in a post as you did upthread

You lose any credibility you have to accuse anyone else of a superiority complex.

[tridim]

25. Thanks DU gawd.

[inna]

16. KR+3 and a humble suggestion...

:hi:

[Mass]

23. As if this will stop them. Absence of logic has never stopped some DUers.\nt

[dave29]

26. Thank you for painting it all black v white for us

actually, people can say whatever they want!

[Hello_Kitty]

30. Yes they can but it doesn't make it logically consistent.

And you calling my OP black vs. white doesn't make it so. You can't say that you know what something will or won't do without knowing that that something is.

[dave29]

41. you should read up on quantum entanglement there are lots

of things not very logical about the world we live in.

"You can't say that you know what something will or won't do without knowing that that something is"

Maybe I know what that something is? (I'm kidding of course, just making a point about logic)

[Peacetrain]

36. How do you know what it is going to affect until you find out what it is?

[Hello_Kitty]

37. You're right! I don't know.

And you don't know that it's not going to affect anyone adversely until you know what it is.

[Peacetrain]

38. I never claimed to know what it would affect.. ahhh.. my only claim is that I was going to

wait and see what he has to say.. before I make a lot of commentary about something I do not have the facts of yet

[RoadRage]

43. Or take NO position until more details are out..

and not start freaking out over nothing because you don't have any information yet.

But, that doesn't appear to be a popular DU trait. NO INFO? Jump to conclusions, make huge assumptions, and then when the details come out and show you were totally over reacting, stick to your guns and be pissed anyway!!!
