Oh, yeah, lots of 'em...in... ...my own mind. I'll be working with a high school robotics team to pull this off, so I might need advice on dealing with this alien species from time to time.

Wow. I was just granted my first museum exhibition. Plucked the notification out of my spam filter, which I don't check very often. Still a bit stunned.

Truly weak, dude. Your comments speak vastly more about you than about me. I hope you are a much happier individual in 2010. Really! - Don Yes, they do, Don. Yes they do.

Bullshit. Whether you accept the moniker or not your socio-political views are indistinguishable from those of any rabid Marxist Wow. Right on cue. You are a blithering idiot with basically nothing to say, KKK.

I think you might have invented something even more basic. The Tool, for example.

LOL!

His thesis in a nutshell: socialism leads to Soviet style communism. Yeah, after 50 years of Euro socialism, Soviet style communism's breakin' out all over the place.... Meanwhile, back in the Land of Freedom...and Gitmo.

gotcha.

You might try reading my post a little more slowly.

I wonder if he ever claimed he was the Son of God, he was told he was the Son of God, or somebody just made that shit up later? Biblical scholars? A little help here.... I imagine a little editing has gone a long way in the Bible. Like the part where the Holy Spirit appeared to Mary...in the form of a drunken centurion...

Indeed, there is nothing in PP's prose over the last 7 years indicating he learned anything from the Vietnam fiasco. There's nothing in your years of posting indicating that you have learned anything about the Marxist fiasco(s). ...except the superior quality of life and personal security of every other civilized western country on the planet.

Trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and... ...yeah, fuck that.

Religion is such a target rich environment.

The Holy Trinity: Mary, the Holy Spirit, and a couple of bottles of chilled Blue Nun.

The Holy Spirit appeared to Mary and, badabing, badaboom, she was with child. You'll have to talk to the Vatican about the details, but their customer support line appears to have been disabled after the altar boy thing.

Right now, 'house cleaner' is the profession I would respect and appreciate most.

Judging the relative value of someone's profession is a wholly subjective auto jerk most people don't engage in because they've progressed beyond a kindergartner's social intelligence. To someone who doesn't give a damn about Egyptology, which would be most people, someone like Raindawg might appear to be a complete waste of protoplasm. Someone a bit more mindful might recognize that we all need each other both job-wise and otherwise. The very same archeologist who hikes up his apparently flagging sense of self worth like a blown out jock strap doesn't appear to possess the wisdom (and it doesn't take much) to realize how much he depends on everyone around him; taxi driver, garbage man, plumber, stockboy, to make his beloved profession possible. Similarly, he hasn't the wisdom to realize that people are much, much more than their jobs. Finally, he can't seem to figure out that the simpleton's measuring he engages in is completely arbitrary. For example, let's compare job worth based on how vital it is to the health and well being of society. Based on that criterion, farmers and plumbers (gazinta, gazouta) would top the list, I'd wager, and 'Archeologist'...well, not so much. If we knew nothing at all of ancient Egypt, few peoples lives would be much the poorer for it. And then there is a concept of the whole person. Raindawg is proof positive that a person can be accomplished in his chosen profession on one hand, and still be an utter buffoon.

If PP has indeed changed his mind about the neo-conservative, unilateral agenda of might makes right so expensively executed by the previous administration, I suppose one more convert, however too little too late, is cause for a one handed golf clap. Even the village idiot eventually figures out that eating shit causes bad breath. I haven't seen a single post from him to indicate such. In fact, I haven't seen a single post from him which espouses much of a tangible position on anything, save baseball. He doesn't seem to really have a clear opinion, not one that he's been willing to share here, about what to actually do about anything. Nearly every other conservative on this site seems to at least get to the point every now and then, even if that point is no more than a wish to have their sack licked. The word 'gelatinous' comes to mind.

Would you...like to inspect my butt hairs, Bug?

Why would you be concerned about my butt hairs, Bug? Are you lacking other things to focus on?

Depends on who is doing the poking.

I'm at home with a cold, too, BTW.

You seem to be having a bad day, so I'm gonna respect that and disengage. Merry Christmas.

To be fair, Nixon started the War on Drugs, not Reagan, although the latter really took the ball and ran with it. The former's motivations seemed to center on taking revenge on a generation that bucked his policies and presidency.

I remember that very selectiveness when I was involved in the antiwar thing way back in 2003. Funny how much more 'tolerant' a corporation is in times of scarcity.
