I don't know why some people hate the internet
As my close personal friends know (none of which post here, mostly because they're conservatives) I love a good debate, and I love debating the right even more than trying to convince slinkerwink that John Kerry isn't the anti-christ ;). The Internet provides several forums for these debates. I'm posting this drivel because checking an e-mail I rarely check I discovered *gasp* I've been banned from American Forum.net

Here is what the letter told me:

You were banned because your posts were more about aiding members of Democratic Underground than debating politics.

and other shit like this. I, being a prick, responded:

So I'm being banned for arguing against people I don't know and do dislike who are making vitriolic attacks against people I know of and don't dislike? Und wem werden die Sprache auf Amerika zum Deutsch gehen?

So far no responce.

AOL IM also allows me to debate right wingers as well. John Kleeb and several other DUers saw my ability to find stupid people from the right to chat with online. Today my right wing friend and I were talking about gay marriage, and here's what I had to say to him, and later another friend of mine:

obxwpckr4Him: yay bush
obxwpckr4Him: boo gore
NeoProgressiveNC: you're fucking kidding right? Gore?
NeoProgressiveNC: when you reach 2004, call me, we can hang out together

he then made the argument that gays should be mistreated because the bible says so, I replied

NeoProgressiveNC: i'm an american first, catholic second
obxwpckr4Him: are you goin to it? (the Passion)
NeoProgressiveNC: yes
obxwpckr4Him: nice
obxwpckr4Him: me to
NeoProgressiveNC: you on the other hand
NeoProgressiveNC: appear to put what you THINK Jesus would believe over the betterment of this country
NeoProgressiveNC: traitor

He then "had to go to class." I love owning the right. Then my friend who goes to Messiah University (it's a Talmudic school ;)) came on to discuss the gay marriage thing.

Randyman99: ah but he is proposing this gay marriage ban amendment, and appointing moral justices
Randyman99: or trying to appoint
NeoProgressiveNC: moral
NeoProgressiveNC: you mean
NeoProgressiveNC: like charles pickering
NeoProgressiveNC: the gay marriage ban will never pass
NeoProgressiveNC: never
Randyman99: but it should be
NeoProgressiveNC: why
NeoProgressiveNC: you can't give me one good reason why
NeoProgressiveNC: not ONE
Randyman99: its evil
NeoProgressiveNC: so is divorce
NeoProgressiveNC: so is adultery
NeoProgressiveNC: neither are illegal
Randyman99: they should be
NeoProgressiveNC: Randy, are your parents criminals?
Randyman99: no
NeoProgressiveNC: but they're divorced, and therefore criminals in your eyes
Randyman99: shut up

Ahhh the joys of the internet. The perfect tool to make the right look like retards.
