I agree it was a mess, m'lady. Almost reminded me of '77 - almost!! That was when yours truly was living in his hometown of Buffalo, NY cheers,

I lived through (and survived) the Blizzard of '77. Link 1 Link 2 Here in my part of the midwest, it's been rather quiet today. cheers,

Heh! I thought you were. I wasn't really disagreeing with ya - I know you inserted "moronic news" for purpose :) cheers,

The pills work! :thumbsup: Get yourself some! They really work! Don't listen to the jealous small dick types - after all, we ALL know that any dick smaller than 3 inches cannot sexually satisfy a woman!* cheers, PS: We need more of your type in the ER/ED soon. Some of our newer staff...

The Army is not shot to pieces - the media usually has little to no idea about the true morale and function of the Army. Same was true in 'Nam (something I personally experienced) and the same is true now (something I know from my **** friends). In fact - the same can be said about most of the...

Speaking of Carlin, however: Language, Prefixes and airplanes cheers, :D

The email said: "George Carlin's View on Aging", but I'm skeptical about it. cheers, Old fart

Re: At the risk of being called a jerk... Like others have said - I like the Rep because it's a different way of recognizing 'contributions'. I like getting comments with my rep - good or bad. Gives me an idea of what my posts bring about. When I rep, I comment. Nothing blanket about it at...

Chavez is a piece of work all right. Simplest test - go to Venezuela and criticize Chavez the way some folk come to the States and criticize Bush. See who lasts/lives longer. cheers,

NUTS!

I got a buddy in Merseyside, UK. That's about the closest I've been there! Sorry! cheers,

???? "Property" for our defintions and purposes - is defined (and is implied by) "ownership". I can launch into all kinds of esoteric "tangents" as to what "property" means, but it would mean to drag ourselves into tangential irrelevancy... Again: Question: Does "property" include "ownership...

I think it's just limited by your limited understanding of what "property" means and what "property rights" is... Again, fundamentally: cheers,

You think "property" is limited to land/goods/brick/mortar? You think "ownership" or "property" is limited to such things as "business" and "land"? These questions are important - because you asserted that "some societies don't believe in the concept of ownership be it collective or individual"...

You favor collectivism over the individual. The "Right of the people" over the "Right of an individual". You care about the "forest" but not the "trees". How do you propose to leverage your mandate of economic controls without coercion from the State? You answered it yourself - "democratic"...

LOL. Yep - all he'd have to do is roundhouse kick Ahmedinejad/Kim Jong-Il/Osama and our troubles will be over :tongue: Walker - Texas Ranger - now POTUS! cheers,

If it does - where does a person like me stand? Centrist? It doesn't - I don't know where you're getting your numbers from. Conscientious libertarians reject coercion practised by the left (in the guise of social responsibility) and the right (in the guise of preserving our values/society). We...

It doesn't - I don't know where you're getting your numbers from. Conscientious libertarians reject coercion practised by the left (in the guise of social responsibility) and the right (in the guise of preserving our values/society). We reject the imposition of morals - be they moral or...

You're not an authoritarian communist - you're a liberal communist (or liberal 'socialist', if you prefer). You still favor state controls over citizen economic life. Looks like you didn't read the 'lessons' well enough. By the way - which definition of "liberal" are we using? The traditional...

Re: It's deeper than that ... Take a look at Dr. Ron Paul, his positions and his philosophies and try saying the same thing. Or look at the positions taken by Michael Badnarik. Sorry. I don't agree with you. cheers,

Re: Easy answer. Are you joking? Republicans are not pro-guns - anymore than Democrats! 1. Who said: "I support the Brady Bill and I urge the Congress to enact it without further delay." [in a March 28, 1991 speech]? A: Ronald Reagan 2. Who ****** the import of "assault weapons" in 1989, and...

Re: It's deeper than that ... I think they're both psychotic, power hungry loons who would sooner see this nation as their personal fiefdom than as a republic. I am not at all impressed by Rice's performance as NSA and Sec State. Many folks think she is "strong willed", "independent" and...

I stop. Pause. 3 deep, slow breaths. Sometimes, I walk away to a private area and drop and do a quick 50 (yes, this old fart can still do a quick 50. This old fart can also run 3 miles at the drop of a hat. Old fart will regret it later on the day, but old fart can still do it). That and I...

That's South Asia... not South East ;) :tongue: Yes, I know. Sorry. Thanks Smitty! I see you beat me to it :) cheers, R.

Refuse a kiss from my wife? Why would I do that? Especially after she sucked me off? :confused: Damn! What better time than that to show your appreciation for her? cheers,

Economic Left/Right: 8.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.15 I am an Anarcho-Capitalist. More broadly, I am a "libertarian" (as opposed to primarily "Libertarian"). I reject the 'label' of "Conservative" - even if it has a 'qualifier' of "Libertarian" attached before it. cheers,

Personally, I think terms like "right wing" and "left wing" are redundant. They don't do enough justice for the broad range of political opinion that exist. See this article for more details: Why Libertarianism is not Right Wing Try the Political Compass cheers,

Very nice BNF! :thumbsup: I own (and still use) my ******'s pocket watch (He got it from his ******) - it's well over a hundred years old and still keeps good time. Many folks at work think it's "quaint" (not to mention ancient). Then again, I still wear a hat when I step outside... :hatsoff...

To put it in a nutshell: History is about observing various perspectives to try and arrive at an objective picture. Napoleon lost all those wars he started, and got exiled to St. Helena for it. But I notice his written works are still in print, and fairly popular too. There are some who claim...

You're equating the study of past events to nothing more than mere folklore. Realise that. You just admitted to your own biases and pre-concieved notions influence your perception of history. Even the ameteur historian knows that this whole "history will be kind to me for I intend to write it"...

My avatar is the "Star of Life" - often found on medical institutions and personnel. cheers,

Glen Beck is a tit. Not because he is conservative. He's a tit, because he's a tit. He is nuttier than a porta-potty at a peanut festival. cheers,

Given you lot post here - I'm not sure I want to be anywhere near the "medical/health care" aspects of this supposed 'White House' :yinyang: I bet one of the mods would like to be 'Chief of Staff' - the chief "whip" of the 'White House' ;) cheers,

Ditto that!

Watching too much "The Patriot" for our history lessons, are we? Saratoga, Princeton, Valley fucking Forge ... oh yeah, how about The fucking CONTINENTAL ARMY????? * Siege of Boston * Battle of Long Island * Battle of Trenton * Battle of Princeton * Battle of Brandywine...

This story strikes a very personal chord in me (personal history that, despite the passage of 35+ years, I have yet to reconcile with. Some memories never fade and some pain is just is not meant to go away). I really 'felt it', when that troop said 'Nobody understood ... the way I was'. Even...

Re: What's on your desktop Journey's funky album cover from their album "Trial By Fire" cheers,

This Sabres fan is/was not happy with that game! :( cheers,

Link cheers,

I guess I was trying to emphasise the fact that untill a few years ago - the medical establishment (even VA Doctors) weren't ready to recognise PTSD as a "problem" - particularly amongst veterans. Now we seem to have 'proof' of the long lasting effects of PTSD - amongst a population of...

Don't be so quick. The full reach, range and effects of PTSD are still not clearly understood. PTSD as a disorder was/has been effectively "dismissed" by much of the establishment up until the Vietnam War. It has variously been called "soldier's heart", "shell shock", "combat fatigue" and other...

I've asked this question before and I would like to hear opinions on it: Which version "suits" you (or describes/determines your philosophy) better? 1. The United States is a prosperous nation. 2. The United States are a prosperous nation. My post is not aimed just at member ninetysixcavy...

Weekend Warrior, eh? ;) Just kiddin'! :) Dang! Active grunt to reserve prop-pusher? How do you sruvive? :D Sorry about the leg, Staff Sergeant :( You look after yerself, y'hea'? From one sergeant to another, cheers Thanks for the link LL - it just replaced my desktop wallpaper (I'm a...

Plenty of prostitutes at Tan *** Nhut was what I remember.... cheers,

(emphases mine). Well said Petya. Very well said! :thumbsup: I would only like to add that you left out the importance of responsibility. E.g.: Many folks bitch about how "bad" Wal Mart is, yet everybody still shops there. Freedom entails responsibility. You're free to do as you choose, but...

Kerrang? Isn't that a metal music station? Nice job freeones! :)

Bringing thread back to topic: How many are familiar with this painting?? The story of the artist who drew the painting cheers,

I know that story well *******! :******: Absolutely heart breaking! :( Full story

Full story PTSD has far reaching, life long consequences it seems. cheers,

... or what comes to your mind when you hear this? Link
