Think again. Or not.

Somehow I don't think you really think that.

You two arrived at the same stale joke simultaneously? Amazing.

You're either trolling or a lot dumber than I thought.

A few assholes dropped a couple of our buildings, and we responded by invaded their turf with nearly a quarter million soldiers...after bombing them for 12 straight years. I'd say we cut our own dicks off on that one.

If my Dad didn't threaten to kill one of us at least once a day, we'd have thought something was really wrong.

We had a British telecom, French radio manufacturer, German airline, and an American phone system manufacturer all working on the same project. WWII was less contentious.

Yes, I'm sure the father was serious. And the injustice of children being denied food (in a country where nearly half of them are obese)! You just WON the Drama Queen of the week award, KKK. Take a break.

I feel sorry for you.

Is this the new Muffy/Achie schtick? Get real.

If you had any first hand experience in what your pretend to be talking about, you might have a bit more credibility. You don't, so it's just spray. Live and let live does not imply living with injustice, obviously. It does mean not giving in to uninformed hate mongering, however. That's something you might work on a bit. You're easily swayed. Kicking the Taliban's ass (temporarily) was necessary. Fighting over 200 million practitioners of a religion you have a child's understanding of is not.

I used to spend the night in Copenhagen both directions on my way to working in Germany. It seemed to me that there were drunken Danes fighting with each other damn near everywhere I looked. And don't even think about walking in the bike path by mistake; even the old ladies'll kill ya for that.

If the human race were like this in person, we'd have become extinct a long time ago.

Every once in a while a bullshit side issue will come along that will keep Congress busy enough to limit their damage quota. One word: steroids.

I'm for live and let live. Pretty simple. I'm not for authoritarian pricks, such as yourself, who use the actions of a minority of extremist assholes to paint an entire religion with a large rifle target, for, after all, that is your final solution here, isn't it? The elimination of Islam? The final zeelolution? If not, then what is your proposed solution? You have none. You rarely put forth an actual opinion on this board; incredible, considering the industrial amount of verbage you produce, and you've never offered anything on this subject other than "Islam is bad". I lump you, other Bush supporters, and the Taliban in the same category: you're not live and let live types. You're hate mongers. Some of you are "well meaning" hate mongers, but you're hate mongers, nonetheless. The Muslims I know and work with really love their religion. They represent none of the stereotypes you and your kind spend copious amounts of energy promulgating, despite a complete dearth of personal experience. Most of the Muslim world is similarly moderate. The Wahabiists may grab the headlines, but you never fail to help them amplify their case. As for Christians, same rules apply. I've been clear on this. Respect the constitutional seperation of church and state, and I'm fine with you. Start trying to impose your bullshit through government, and I'm your enemy.

you're confusing me with trashcanlicker-speedascentracer-wannabe-dan-what'shisname No, you've both refused a friendly, if tongue in cheek contest on that convenient and non-threatening suburban venue after much bragging about your physical superiority. You're both in the same poser category. "What's on your tick list?" Did you actually post that? As for you sideways dig at "off the hook"s speed ascents, I don't know him personally but he is apparently a pretty fine athlete who's TR's never fail to give us all a good stoke. You're the only person on this site who's seen fit to trash him for it. To the climbing community, you're both a joke.

Marylou and I have been friends for a few years now. Woman. Friend. I know it's a difficult concept for a misogynist. Friends having thanksgiving with friends. Fucking weird, huh? She makes some damn fine mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and creamed onions. Damn fine.

Yet another FW bullshit fantasy. Motor Voter does not specify how states register voters (they can use the same system they use now with the same ID requirements); it just specifies that ELEGIBLE people be offered the chance to register when they get/renew drivers licences. The primary purpose of the legislation was to make it easier for people, but most particularly disabled people, to vote. As there are still a majority of registered democrats in the country, it's easy to see why Fairweather and his kind would be patently against such legislation. It's classic suppression of the vote, a game they are all too familiar with. See for yourselves: Motor Voter Law

Not to mention all the electronic/videographic monitoring equipment on board. Tvash, is there anything you are not an expert on? One thing I'm an expert on is Google. There are detailed "electronic/videographics" of carriers all over the web. No Turpolev required. Remember, we use those things to project power. We want them to be seen. Dumbass.

Well, CP, I guess you and Joseph know more about the situation than the carrier task force commander, who dissagrees with both of you. But then again, I never met a marine that wasn't a bullshitter (and God love 'em for it). Our 3 tiered carrier air net hasn't changed much in 25 years; the Russians know all about it. To suggest that they'd learn anything new from a 2000 ft altitude overflight stunt is ridiculous. It's hard to say what the overflight was about, but one guess would be: stunt. What pilot, especially bomber pilot (long, BORING flights) wouldn't want that to spray about? Another might be a demonstration of perogative; we'll fly here if we want. And maybe the pilots were just lost. It happens. Officially, both Russia and China ARE friendly countries, (again, those who define such things seem to disagree with our resident Spray experts here), so the lack of a 'military response' was appropriate under the circumstances. I seem to recall somewhere that our military works for an elected government, which "calls the shots" on these matters. If you two want to engage in a 12 year old's beat off fantasy wherein Batman fights Spiderman in space in Turpolevs, by all means, have at it, but don't try to offer it up as serious discourse. It's pure spray.

Obama takes the lead in A.P. projected delegates. Tough races in Texas, Ohio, and Penn. coming up.

Here's a statement I'll make clear for you: it's precisely pricks like you (and the politicians you support) on both sides that have lead us to the current warfare in the Middle East. Most folks, 'Them', and 'Us', are cool, and just want to be left alone. Along come 'you pricks', who point to 'them', and say, "what a bunch of assholes; it's fundamental to their religion". Clear enough? Fucking prick.

Oh, Canada!

If you have to ask... They aren't a 'friendly country' and overflights under 30k of a carrier group by any military aircraft is an unwise proposition at best. Again, by the very nature of their tiered defenses, breaching them is a risky and unwise provocation. Don't let the Tupolev's looks fool you, they are fast, capable, and act as a weapons platform as well as our B-52s. Russia's not a friendly country? Is this the State Department talking or The World According to JosephH talking? Come on, Joseph. Your position's a joke, militarily and diplomatically. Yeah, a 1950's era turboprop's the first weapon I'd use to attack a carrier task force. Riiiight.

My grandpa can beat up your grandpa.
