AbbyNormal's profile says she's from NYC.
From Page 2 of this thread:
"strummergirl, I have gone to career fairs, but I went to those fairs in New York where I went to college, but that doesn't help much since now I have had to move home on the West Coast. And yes, I do work for a temp agency currently, but that's not getting me any skills in my field, and I live in a fairly small city where the unemployment rate is close to 11% since Obama has been in office. But In the next year I'm going to move to a bigger city with a lower unemployment rate where I will able to get a real job, I'm not saying I'm a victim, I just think that if obama is reelected the unemployment rate isn't going to change and continue to stay high."
Went to college in New York but hails from West Coast. I assume since she is a SF Giants fan that she is from California. Could be wrong on that but not like I am dealing with a reliable source.
I'm actually stunned by the turn this has taken regarding public colleges and universities. Stunned.
I like the fact that a child who hates liberals and Obama has bumped a thread titled "Obama Has Earned Four More Years".
I'm surprised that she's still posting.
Obviously, she isn't going to sway us into thinking like her and we're not going to change her mind.
This has become a lose/lose battle.

Funny thing about this thread. This new poster comes in and starts this thread, which is taken over by an old trollish poster who admits to having duplicate accounts. Where is the OP? Why isn't s/he taking part in this discussion that s/he started? Could it be that having started this thread, his/her task was over?
eta: in other words, don't you think it's possible abbynormal has more than one duplicate account, the OP possibly being one of them? Either way, why continue to engage this account? As junglered says, no minds will be changed here, and there isn't any kind of reasonable exchange going on. What is the purpose of continuing it?

And Ghostlight SCORES!
I'm not from California and don't live in California yet, but I plan on moving there soon. I haven't updated my profile since I moved back home so that's why it still says I live in NY, but I live in Oregon now and yes I know Brian Wilson is a liberal, who cares? He's still a great player and quite a character. I have liberal friends, I don't hate liberals, I just don't agree with them.
I agree california has good public universities, Oregon doesn't, sure we have a good football team, but the schools aren't great. And I realize my private university had liberal professors, but they didn't try to convince us one way or the other like my high school teachers did. I don't care if you're liberal or conservative, if you teach, you shouldn't be trying to convince your students to sway one way or the other.
And romantico, I don't have a problem with people forming gay/straight alliances, my private, Catholic school had one, I didn't have a problem with it at all. I'm not one of those republicans who hates them thinks groups like that that should be banned.
You're done, hockeygurl12345, Ms. B, 23?!. Give it up already and move out of mommie and daddy's house, get a FULL TIME JOB (even if it's picking up trash, and living w/5 roomates)) and support yourself. Then come back here and report. I'm usually not this rude, cause Romo does it for me. anyways...you're kinda asking for the rebuttals, which, btw are VERY informative. Live and learn.
Do you really think I would create a thread praising Obama so I could post disagreeing with him? I'm sorry, I have a life. And I don't think I could come up with as many things as the OP did praising him.
Tiny, that made me laugh! Love it! (hey, I do my part)
Abby, that's the best thing I've seen you post so far. There just may be hope for you.

"Do you really think I would create a thread praising Obama so I could post disagreeing with him? I'm sorry, I have a life. And I don't think I could come up with as many things as the OP did praising him."
This will be my first and only response to you, abby. Of course I do. In fact, to me, it's very obvious. It's a familiar pattern. CountA (aka mikey, who even has made an appearance here to cheer you on)) did the same thing. Understand, I don't think you wrote the original post, I just think it's quite possible you lifted it and Joe's name off of the internet to use to set the trap for some of the posters here. I think the real Joe Bialek would be surprised to learn that he posted here.
In any case, if your life is SO busy, why are you here? Surely you know you won't change any minds - so what other reason would you be here with your admittedly multiple accounts but to stir things up? Serious question. Please answer it.
To the rest of you - you've been had. Go ahead and waste your time, if you want, but know that you're doing nothing but pleasuring a troll. Keep that vision in your head every time you think about responding to it.
Or better yet - just don't.

The OP is off posting that same piece all over the interwebs. It got printed in a paper under the name he used here. I don't think abby and the OP are the same person.

And I think Abby used Joe Bialek's piece to start this thread, Phyl.
Either way, what difference does it make? What is the point of engaging this troll?

Abby has somehow in a subtle way woven all sorts of incendiary comments into her various posts, ranging from Obamacare to public schools to illegal immigrants - sentences about liberal professors brainwashing their students etc.
How can she NOT be a troll?
Then again, has all the trolling around here made me too paranoid?
Broadway Legend Joined: 12/5/04
Nope.
Like I said - this is all very familiar.

In the BroadwayWorld messageboard system, troll-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated posters who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Trolls Unit.
These are their stories.

ooooo ooooo oooo Can I be Mariska?
Ahem….
"It is not your fault!"
Believe me, I know what obamacare is, I do real research and don't just believe everything MSNBC tells me like I'm sure so many of you do.
No, you obviously don't:
It forces everyone to buy insurance and if you don't have insurance you're going to be fined every year you don't have it. Everyone seems to think it's free, news flash, it's not!! It's going to raise everyone's taxes because we're going to be paying for everyone else to have insurance, why can't people just buy their own?!
How are we paying for everyone else's insurance if it's not free for anyone and everyone else has to pay?
If obamacare continues, I guess I will be forced to get it, or pay a fine every year to not have it, but don't you find it a bit unconstitutional to be forced to have a certain kind of health insurance and not be able to choose your own?
Who says you can't choose your own?
But now people don't have to do anything and they still get insurance, that makes no sense
But you said it's not free.
And of course I'm going to have insurance, it's not that I don't want insurance, I just don't think everyone should have it if they can't afford it or don't want to work for it, and if they can't afford it everyone who pays taxes will have to pay for it.
What does that have to do with Obamacare? Or have you moved on to fully socialized healthcare without benefit of a segue? Because that is a different discussion. When you have used and experienced socialized health care in a country that provides it, then please provide us with a detailed discussion on your personal experience.
But liberals seem to think the government should take care of everyone and give them free food and whatever else they need, which is why there's more people on food stamps and dependent on the government now than ever before, but you can't seem to accept that!
No, that is a generalization from the far right. Try reading and LISTENING to what liberals actually say. Because that is not what they think. At all.
I learned nothing in four years at a public school.
Oh, you've made that quite clear, but it had nothing to do with the school.
Why get a job when hard working tax payers can pay for everything for you?!
Just a little heads-up...that's not how liberals actually view welfare. And welfare recipients are hardly just liberals. Millions of them are God-fearing "good" Christian American Republicans who, like yourself, rely only on tabloid talking points to guide their vote.
But because of obamacare, other insurance companies are having a hard time staying in business, if you don't realize that, you're an idiot.
Who is name-calling now? And which insurance companies are those? What are the statistics you are using? You've done all the research, right?
Okay fine, let me rephrase, I have nothing against people who go to public colleges, but I don't agree with the politics and the BS the professors try to teach in public institutions, and wouldn't go to one.
So, all public colleges are the same? Like, a public college in New York or Massachusetts will have the exact same liberal agenda as one in say, Arkansas or Mississippi? Sounds like you are just fond of bigoted generalizations.
At any rate, I would suggest more education for you. Or maybe some facts. Like, actual facts with statistics and data and stuff instead just opinions based on fear and unsubstantiated beliefs usually caused by ingesting too many Christian-Fil-A sandwiches with Rush Limbaugh while watching the 700 Club endorse Glenn Beck's sanctified heterosexual affair with Ann Coulter.
More education won't help. I have friends who are very well educated, certainly, but still argue the same ridiculous lopsided loopy arguments as Abby. They make little more sense than this, and these are people with MBAs and, in one case, a PHD. At least that guy is rich, so his position is somewhat understandable - even if he can't express it without saying "well, yeah, but what about Obama!"
"I have liberal friends, I don't hate liberals, I just don't agree with them."
I feel sorry for your friends.
4 more with obama, and the United States will have sunk to the level of a third world country.
