To push an agenda

I am here to push my agenda - that pajama pants should be acceptable dress for everyone in every day use...

If anyone thinks they can push their agenda here,all I can say is "Lotsa Luck" !!!

Fanatics and ideologues of any description are manifestly boring. The only agenda I have here is trying to amuse myself. Enlightening the philistines is clearly beyond my poor talents.

Yeah....thank God most on RIA are agenda-free. Then you have rapscallions like me...those who come here to push college football, Prince, and Ronald Reagan.

There's nothing wrong with a little agenda pushing - so long as you stop shy of the throats of others.

Freedom and Liberty is taken for granted. I'm continually dismayed at people who refuse to get involved in discourse about the sorry state of affairs we live in today. I've heard all the excuses, ranging from...I don't like to argue, to...we shouldn't be too judgmental towards other people. I'm soo tired of hearing that. It will be these people who will wake up one morning and wonder what happened to their country. Who will they blame?...not themselves.

Going to kill this website with cutness.

(numbah coughs "illuminati" under his breath) UPDATE: I have lots of agendas. Star Wars, Jessica Alba, knuckleheaded humor, so take your pick! UPDATE: Dingoes. Lots of Dingoes...

Dingoes, my dear friends, dingoes! Enough is enough!

Agenda? I didn't know I needed one.

Nah unless reviving the dead genre of acid rock is an agenda.

I believe if people were honest with themselves they would realize that by simply giving their opinion on many topics or at least "certain heated or controversial" topics they really are pushing an agenda. I guess it's all in how you would define the term "agenda".

Everyone's probably going to say that they have no agenda to push, and I'm certainly among those. I don't seek to convert anyone to my point of view nor have I ever tried to coerce anyone into seeing my view of things--although I'm sure all of us post our ideas publicly to get some sort of reaction from it. It's natural, we wouldn't post anything if we didn't expect others to read it, but pushing an agenda means directly seeking to convert others to your perspective. Better that we have a wide range of opinion and just respect that.

I'm not here to push an agenda specifically. But I am here to write my opinions and sometimes that ends up in me posting things that could file under the pro-Bush agenda. However, RIA is meant to post others opinions so I'm not sure if many here joined to push an agenda.

Fanatics are boring, without exception. There's no shortage of agenda-pushing on RIA though.

The power to publish is the power to influence. If writing and expressing my views on the world were simply some sort of a therapeutic end in itself, I would keep a diary. I don't keep a diary. To some extent, I am here to push an agenda, as sinister as that sounds. I recently read a comment of Twinmom's that expresses a compulsion she feels to refute every moron that comes on the site spouting blind hatred about Islam. Some might conclude that Twinmom has an agenda of trying to make the world a more tolerant and open-minded place and to use her expertise in the area of Islam to educate those that are ignorant. I don't think there is anything wrong with having an agenda on this site - as long as you are open about your motives, willing to hear the other side, and defend your position with logic.

I don't expect everyone to agree with my views, and I certainly am not trying to change anyone else's way of thinking. I have my opinions and you have yours. I like a good and honest debate over the most important issues of the day, but I certainly am not attempting to get you to agree with me (unless of course you give JFK less than 3 stars).

Pushing an agenda, to me, means lying to spin your idea to gain support for it. This I will not do. I try to be truthful at all times, whether it be laying out the facts or giving an honestly reasoned viewpoint. I can't stand those who think they can keep beating me over the head with the same lies over and over until someone believes them; to me, that is pushing an agenda.

It's just an opinion--take it or leave it. Chances are, people'll read my posts, either agree or disagree, and leave it at that. I don't think anything that I post would revolutionize someone else's world views, nor would I care for them to. I'm not here to change the world. I'm not here to get people's approval. I'm just here to rant and pass the time.
