wow.. I can't believe how people disrespect the President of the United States, it's hard for a citizen of another county to respect the citizens of the United States when they blatantly refer to their leader as Adolph Obama, a direct play on words refering to Adolph Hitler.

How can you seriously put your leader in the same catergory as a man you killed millions of people because they didnt' agree with his belief system? REALLY??? How disrespectful not only to the President of the United States (which I thought you were taught to show respect too??), but it's also very disrespectful to every citizen of the US and every survivor of the Holocaust.

Sometimes I am just simply amazed how some people will just throw around names, without thinking what they truly mean. I'm also just as amazed to see how people show such lack of respect to an office I was told should be held in the highest regards. I know I wouldn't want that job and I respect any person that would think of holding that position, I don't have to agree with their politics but I will respect them for their desire to run and hold that position.

Here's a little world secret... if you want other world leaders and it's citizens to show respect to your President, as a country you must first show him some respect. When as a nation you belittle that indivual, you risk dimensioning the respect of your leader by the rest of the world.

Sorry to say it but we have many "Christian" racists who watch and believe what Fox News feeds them even though Fox has been shown to the most inaccurate news in the country. Living in Texas I'm sure you run into this as much as I do.

And there are many atheist racist who swallow whatever brand of news supports their agendas as well.

Democrat John "Dirtbag" Edwards with Anthony "Hotdog" Weiner as vice president, and yes, I merrily showed neither one any "respect." 8-)


Bmac,
I missed your point ref Weiner and Edwards, what do they have to do with the current political situation? Not being argumentive but am just courious.


I stated my point in a previous post but I will elaborate. My point was twofold.

Instead of simply stating Obama or Romney, I attempted to inject a bit of sardonic humour into the thread by my answer. As far as the current political situation Edwards has been in the news everyday. Weiner is fairly recent history, but I thought he would make a perfect vice president for Edwards. If there was someone of a different political affiliation garnishing headlines for notorious bad behavior I may have used their name.

The second point was that there are certain leaders that do not deserve respect, not mine anyway, and this was in reference to the discussion about that subject. I hope this explanation satisfies your curiosity. 8-)

I believe the analogy being drawn was that often people are sterotyped based on the few and not the many - regardless if one is talking politics, religion or enthnicities. We can all find examples that support our own biases and often disregard any information that may dispute it as being insignificant. Regardless if one is in a elected office or not the same human behavoirs are more the norm than not.


Yes, that is true if the stereotype does not deserve consideration, based on the numbers involved. It seems that not just a few are involved in "bad choices."

Interestingly, my original post on this thread simply answered, tongue in cheek, the question posted. At no time did I try and impugn one party over another. My point was here are two "dirt bags" that do not have my respect. 8-)

Understood, Thanks

This is the second reference to a class of people not believing in the same program Herr Hitler was espousing being 'removed', when actually those 'vermin' as he called them, never really had a vote either 'yea' or 'nay' on the Nazi doctrine of the day.

Young lady, you have much to learn about history, and the American political scene. You might also look around you and discover just what foreign leadership really thinks of this American president.

How many U.S. Presidents have you ever heard tell the whole world that America is not a Christian Nation? How many U.S. Presidents have apologized to the world for the supposed arrogance of the American people? And how many U.S. Presidents have bowed down to a foreign leader and kissed his hand?

You need to study American history a lot more before you question your elders.
quote=MWAC quote=jolly1 Herr Adolph Obama. /quot... (show quote)


first do not refer to me as "young lady" it is disrepectful and I will not have it. I have not refered to you in any way that could even come off as showing any disrepect. To gain respect one must show respect. Just because you are older than me, does not automactially mean you gain my respect. My parents raised me to aks quesitons, not to follow blindly. Asking questions is what makes a person wiser and able to form their own opinions.

I really hate to break this to you but I wrote my thesis on the movement of civil rights in the United States as compaired to the movement in Canada, and how that differences affected the out come on each side of the boarder. That coupled with my education which taught about world issues, not just my nations history, I would wager my American History knowlege might be broader than you think.

America is NOT a christian nation, just like Canada is NOT a christian nation, they are nations that were founded to by people seeking refuge and separation of Church and State. As such both nations have and will conitue to welcome immigrates from all over the world, regardless of their nationality, religion and race.

FYI: Ronald Regan on behalf of the U.S. government apologized for the internment of the Japanese to the world.

President Bush also apologized to the Afghans when a Koran was mishandled by a soldier in 2008 (apparently the americain soldier shot the Koran).

There are actaully many well documented cases where a US Presient apologized to another nation for the behaviour of it's citizens, I would gladdly located a few more if you so require.

I'd taking a kiss to the hand over this - GWB giving a Saudi King a hug and kiss.

I say young lady all of the time. I say that to all of my lady friends and they have told me that they enjoy being called young lady. This is the first time that I saw a woman have a problem with it. I guess it could be a cultural thing. I even call my wife young lady and she is one of those liberated 60's women. :D
