USA ranks I think about 30th, globally, and lowest in the "developed world". What you DO have is an amazingly rich oligarchy (top 1% of the population has over 50% of total wealth). Thus distorting means significantly away from medians in statistical studies of income and wealth distribution. How many of our poor have cable? A car? More than one television?

quote: Originally posted by Lambone: Greg, that is about the stupidest thing I have heard you say... Well, fuck you too, Matt. You know, if the poor didn't want to be poor they should have gone to college like I did. Instead they sit at home watching fucking Sally Jesse Rafael and downing Malomars and fried chicken like it's an olympic sport. I am sick of lazy assholes expecting a handout from the government, which in turn comes from my hard work. Fuck the poor. Greg W

quote: Originally posted by Dru: But what you will get is increased disparity between rich and poor, and ANWR drilling. That rich/poor thing is tired old bullshit. We have the richest "poor" in the world. Oh, right, fewer handouts means a greater disparity. I won't bother to comment on ANWR other than to say: DRILL...DRILL...DRILL...DRILL!!! But do it RESPONSIBLY!!!

Wish I could grow a beard like that dude in the blue Arcteryx jacket!!

I think you guys are all doing a bit too much hand-wringing here. When Clinton had a Demo-controlled Congress he didn't get all the shit he wanted. Congressmen do cross the aisle on votes. There are still strong, vocal Democrats who will voice their opposition, as is their responsibility to do. Wait and see what the future brings...dead ragheads and reduced tax oppression is what I'm hopin' for!! Greg W

And you forgot to mention that you hate puppies and kittens. Okay, I confess. And I would like to thank Dave Parker for supplying the condiments - babies are better with some ketchup and mustard. Maple syrup is best for puppies and kittens; thanks, again Dave. Greg W

quote: Originally posted by trask: Greg, you're a twat Yeah, you say that now but wait 'til you meet me. You'll find yourself saying, "he's fucked up, but not really a bad guy" just like everybody else.

Mikeadam is not one who needs people defending him, but I have to add that Mike is straight up. I find it interesting that people who are passionate about their ideals and willing to take a stand are branded "nazis". I've had people call me a nazi; that just reinforces to me they are ignorant fools who are spineless when it comes to what they believe in. Another phenomenon that I find interesting is that people finally meet me in person and say, "hey, he's actually a pretty nice person," like I'm some sort of right-wing nutcase running around kicking homeless people and eating babies. What's with that? Greg W [ 11-06-2002, 08:41 AM: Message edited by: Greg W ]

Necro - Your bowing out is way beneath you and makes me think that your convictions are not as important to you as you have made it appear. This just brands you as a pussy and a chicken. That's just my $.02. Greg W

Good for tracking elk, though; that's me in 11 days.

Trask and I have a few rusty leg-hold traps that we can't use anymore; they're yours. We'll even throw in a Do-it-yourself hide tanning kit.

quote: Originally posted by Dru: I wondered why Lillooet lodging thread wasn't showing up on Active Topics so I posted a test post to it. Then tried to edit the test post and got the rror message. Then tried to check active topics and got the error message. I hiope it aint something I did! Shit, didn't your Mom tell you that would happen if you played with it too much?

I got this too when I tried to hit "Today's Active Topics"

Just a request from the guys, they like it when your undergarments are color coordinated. Thanks.

The "hatemongers" get guns, the "PC Love Warriors" have to capture and hug a "hatemonger" in order for him to be considered "killed". 2. If a "hatemonger" is captured, he is not considered guilty, just misunderstood and released after repeating "peace, love, and understanding" 10 times. If a "PC Love Warrior" is captured, he is summarily executed post haste. Add your own...

He can post faster than anyone 'cause he has extra fingers! Bwahahahaha!!
