BLAH BLAH BLAH
I'm a pompous asshole. I like to have political discussions on my LJ. I also argue with other pompous assholes on their LJ so that everyone on my friends list knows im a pompous asshole. Then people will like me

you have a lot of explaining to do.
when ori, ben, or anyone else gets involved in a political debate, we know that it is not about making personal attacks or driving home worthless rhetoric. i respect ori a lot and i respect everyone else who joins in on my call to bring something intelligent, challenging, and urgent into lj, which is usually filled with pompous, self-aggreandizing stuff anyway. i feel like no matter what the topic, whoever is debating keeps a dignified level of respect and brings up genuinely important issues to discuss. for example, ori and i disagree sharply on a topic like gay marriage, but we have our wealht of facts and opinions to draw on and as someone who used to oppose gay marriage myself, i have a good perspective on where he's coming from religiously, culturally, and politically.
no one asked you to drop in some arrogant, and downright MEAN opinion on something you didn't even get involved in. i've worked for a long time to promote civil but spirited debates and i don't think you have the right to be the asshole you think i am just because you don't agree with my method of writing in my LJ. i am working very hard in the political world this summer (as i have in previous summers) and i have taken the time to make smart choices and develop a strong and pointed opinion on these issues. i have studied facts on all sides and i think i DO know what i'm talking about, despite what you so arrogantly and ignorantly claim. you know, a lot of thought goes into all these things. you didn't even have the passion or courage to get involved in what was a really interesting debate, so don't you DARE go making ridiculous, mean-spirited accusations about my intentions, my social skills, or my penchant for debate and political study.
to sum up,
screw you. you're a bastard.
