    Speech writers are a dime a dozen. The ability to speak in a manner that people respond to is rare.

    The emotion he conveyed with those words is what won him the election. People believed he was sincere in what he said and it resonated with them.

    Yeah, but emotion need words to carry them, and it's far easier to present a well written speech.

    I think he was a better speaker during his campaign than he is now. I also think his campaign speechwriter leaving is the reason to blame.

    He is an impressive speaker either way.

    You would think more politicians would have gotten the message by now. Most all of our most celebrated Presidents were great speakers.

    Right now his problems are that words can't get him out of the position of wanting to get a second term and wanting to do what he promised... lol

    Cronic Tom ruined my thread. Completely ruined it with his obliviousness.

    I get what you're saying tommy, it's just wrong. You don't have to keep explaining yourself over and over and over again.

    You are arguing from the standpoint of a (word) who has no clue what the fuck he's even arguing about, just wants to be loud and feel right. This is why we are finished now. :)

    So if someone went up on stage crying, without a single word as to why, people would know exactly what (s)he wanted them to do?

    well if they went up on stage, my guess would be we were expected to applaud at the end.

    emotions have their values, but trusting them isn't one of them.

    i'd rather make lists of words about things i like and make me feel good.

    is that a bad, wrong, or somehow immature thing?

    whatever anyone WAS talking about, the title of the thread ("a list of words", in case anyone changes it just because i said that) and its potential sounds like a lot more fun.

    life does that some times, and then we just have to go on from there, because whatever might have been before, what remains is what there is to work with.

    I feel very degraded by your words and will choose this issue to get very uptight about because the arbitrary and ever-shifting meaning of random combinations of sound is serious fucking business.

    Now I'm arguing from the point of a 'word'???

    You just don't know when to leave enough alone do you?

    Seems you just can't stop taking cracks at me, even after I offer a perfectly good way to walk away...

    Instead of offering up what it is you were actually trying to say, you continue to just attack me, do you not have the ability to explain what is was you were trying to say?

    Seems at no point in time have you told us you did bump your head, I will have to assume that you are just naturally brain damaged.

    And no Sam, this is not at an end until you explain what it is that you meant in a way that makes sense.

    You chose to make this a discussion about me, first with your 'surface-thinker' comment, and then with every crack since. When you choose to end what you started, we can focus on what it was that you actually wanted to discuss.

    Who the fuck cares, stoned sam made too big of a deal about it, and so did chronic tom. I have always been aware of the op's idea, but I never really cared because it is not worth even talking about lol.

    One of you will quit eventually, I think. But Sam_Stoned, you're the one that currently wants to quit, that claims the argument is derailing the thread, yet you keep replying.
    I want you guys to quit so I can hear other thoughts on the topic! =P
