7. Fits you perfect
Stalking (from Middle English stalk: from Old English bestealcian; akin to Old English stelan to steal) is a legal term for repeated harassment or other forms of invasion of a person's privacy in a manner that causes fear to its target. Statutes vary between jurisdiction but may include such acts as:

* repeated physical following;
* unwanted contact (by letter or other means of communication);
* observing a person's actions closely for an extended period of time; or
* contacting family members, friends, or associates of a target inappropriately
* cyberstalking

According to the US' National Center for Victims of Crime, one out of every 12 women will be stalked during her lifetime. One out of every 45 men will be stalked during his lifetime. Over one million women and nearly 380,000 men are stalked annually.

12. Oh That's So Cute. But Don't Flatter Yourself.
I know you so badly want attention from someone like that, but sorry bub, ain't the case. You just happen to keep posting mindless garbage threads, and I keep happening to choose comment in them.

Stalking you? Don't flatter yourself pal. I barely remember you exist most of the time except when I see these waste of bandwidth threads of yours. :hi:

29. Pssssstttt.... Trumad.... Guess What.... Facts Matter.... Like I Said, Don't Flatter Yourself.
To repeat what I said in the other thread in which you repeat the same silly accusation: You seem so badly to wish you had someone care enough about you to want to stalk you. But sorry pal, not really too accurate there. In the past 5 days you have taken part in 21 threads. I've responded to you in *gasp* 3 of them! And that actually damaged your ego to such a degree that you now have the gall to accuse me of stalking? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Facts matter, trumad.

23. If you
go back and run a search of threads for OMC (just in the last couple of days) -- you fill find that 90+ % of his diatribe is geared to elicit a flame war. How this site puts up with the incessant bait and disruptiveness is perplexing.

8. When I first moved to Canada I was blown away by
their election schedule.

Being an iggorant Murkin at that time, I had no idea that you could have an election campaign season that lasted only six weeks, with election signs to be removed the day after or mongo fines imposed. And to have campaigns where the public got pissed off at attack commercials instead of sucking 'em back like cheap martinis. I thought elections just lasted forever everywhere.

Ah, it was blissful relief from the Murkin permalection system. I think of it wistfully and often.

10. It's a Rovian tactic to make us get bored with our own candidfates
and start to hate their faces.They own the media, and told them to start early overplaying the Dems and spareingly on the Rs.

11. What is really disturbing is
Each seems to have a goal of 100 million dollars in campaign funds and if this is not bad enough most of this money will go to the mass media for adds and most adds pile up as mud slinging which is also twisted and boring .

Add to this we just went through an election .

We'll have them ALL in Iowa for what will seem like forever. I don't mind the candidates, but get darned tired of the ads and phone calls.

18. I was going to say it's torture but
tragically, the Bush junta has shown us what real torture is. Two years is WAY too long. It's draining.

19. Ahh, c'mon! 2 years of lies, mudslinging, fundraising, and pandering are too much???
Whatsamatter? Donchya' enjoy the circus?

Politics as usual.

"Now, the man on the stand he wants my vote,
He's a-runnin' for office on the ballot note.
He's out there preachin' in front of the steeple,
Tellin' me he loves all kinds-a people.
(He's eatin' bagels
He's eatin' pizza
He's eatin' chitlins
He's eatin' bullshit!)"

Bob Dylan

22. Sadly, I think we're stuck with it
And if we don't want money to be the ultimate decider, we better suck it up and take a stand. It's starting this early as part of a calculated strategy people.
