Mulder, be quiet already. You are no longer funny by blaming everything on liberals. Its not liberals fault(although as a teen I don't call myself anything). It's everyones fault for going along with it.

Jauntamad: you might be interested in this.

Hey, watch your mouth--didn't your parents every teach you to show a little respect for adults? You can point out your concerns over my post without the "shut the hell up"--that's not suitable either in this forum or anywhere for that matter, either to an adult or another teen.

I'd call you disrepectful and if I found out my teenage children spoke to any adult like you did me, they'd be reprimanded but good--that's for sure.

The comment was more "tongue in cheek" than anything else--not to be taken literally.

Look at my posts, and I don't usually talk to most people like that. Only when I get really angry. Your constant posting of that kind of thing just makes me mad.

I think that "political correctness" was coined by the conservatives during the Reagan administration.

'That was not a jab--I think thats when the term was orginated. Now if you want a jab, most of those who claim they are fallen victim to "political correctness" are right wing nutcases!

I don't believe it, I'm annoyed by the consistancy that I see it.

Just because you don't like the way Mulder posts, doesn't give you the right to tell him, or any other adult for that matter, to shut the hell up.

I think you've been disrespectful many, many times on this board. One thing that comes to mind is how many times you've been admonished for using cuss words. Regardless of what your definition of them are, or that you think you should be able to say whatever you want... you're wrong. Rules, are rules kid... learn to live with them, or you'll have a very rough time in this life.

There, I've edited my post. I seriously cannot remember many times at all that i've used a 'curse' word of any sorts on this board. I've defended them yes, but I havn't used them often at all. Name 2 times in the last 6 months, please.
