So often I see right wingers claiming to be marines, to be world travelers, to have been present when WMDs were found in Iraq ... when obviously they are bluffing. It should not be surprising, since they so often have no sense of fair play.

How do you know they are bluffing? There have been MANY cases of WMD being found. Problem is they were not 'put together'. Underground bunkers of chemicals are the most common.
Saying these are not WMD is like saying a criminal was not armed because his gun was unloaded, even though he had a box of shells in his other hand.

Claims? I was in the desert for a total of 17 months. Bluffing? No fair play? I've got news for you. When you are in the military, you are a world traveler. Now, who is making a false claim of expertise? Now please get a clue and some evidence before you put a question like this and waste 5 points

Well, I can say for a fact that I qualify for two out of three of your statements. I am a Marine, and I am a world traveler. Here's a hint, most Marines become world travelers. Kind of an occupational hazard for us (no pun intended). I deployed six months to Japan and Okinawa, three months to saudi arabia. I have been to Germany, Peurto Rico, Alaska, Belize, the Caymans, Mexico (you can have that place). So, two out of three aint bad.
Let's be fair about this. You automatically assume that "right-wingers" (because there are no left wingers out there, apparently), are all liars. Because no one on the left has ever told a fib. Saddam Hussein gassed his OWN people, as reported by those last bastions of truth known as the associated press, and headline news, and the new york times, the boston globe, the washington post (continue to insert favorite newspapers here). He used chemical weapons on the Iranians. What makes you think he didn't have them? Did they miracle themselves out of existance?
No.
Unfortunately, you can't either.

Whether you are right or wrong is irrelevant. You present no specific instances, no specific users and no specific proof to discredit. It is easy for people to misrepresent themselves on line owing to the anonymous nature of the Internet and it is certainly not limited to any political affiliation. Your credibility is in serious question here because of the open ended nature of your tirade and the obvious bias expressed by singling out right wingers. It's just an old political ploy, sling mud and see who it sticks to. If you believe people are misrepresenting themselves you do have recourse. It's called intelligent debate, post your facts in an honest manner and show them up. Anything else is just whining at best. I suspect you have been caught with your pants down many times on the facts and have now resorted to the last tactic of the desperate, slander!

you at the instant are not the only one experiencing the gadget faults - being directed to the place you probably did no longer desire to pass etc. and this is all 'extra advantageous than a splash stressful'. all the subject concerns with the area, plus the unfair deletions and thumbing down for no reason are employing people away. this is not the satisfied place it was. i don't be attentive to in spite of if the subject concerns are merely with Senior electorate or in spite of if all categories are the comparable. in the different categories they only look to ask and answer while we respond to a minimum of one yet another extra. possibly that's what Yahoo do in contrast to and that they are manipulating an intensive down of this classification. My guess is that the advertisers (Yahoo's considerable source of earnings) don't have a clue what is going on. that they had pull the plug in the event that they knew the quantity of the subject concerns and the numbers leaving (except that's happening purely in this classification).

To answer seriously..... its probably because anybody who has travel and/or been in the military realizes that it a big world out there. Theres no cut and dried I hate Bush and will post it on every website..... showing no real thought and openess to all sides. You said rightwingers, not conservative which places you in that camp.... I could be wrong. Its possible that you simply as well are not seeing and appreciating all sides.

I'm a Democrat, but I think there are TONS of people of all walks of life on this site who claim expertise they don't have! Check out the "Which Celebrity Do You Look Like" questions some time. What a bunch of fakers!

And just what makes you think the comments are false?
Because they are saying something you do not want to hear?
The fact of the matter is that those of us who have 'been there' can spot the fakes - you cannot.

Well, dude there WERE WMD's there, this is fact, but as for all other motives...i dunno, I'll keep my opinion to myself.
The peeps wanna come on here and make their opinion known and of course some embellish tales, but hey, its not about right wing left wing, its about 20 million different expressions and ideas...its entertainment.
