Advanced degrees are much more about persistence and stubbornness than intelligence. That said, I've known some folks with advanced degrees that I wouldn't trust to manage a McDonalds. An advanced degree says absolutely nothing about your level of common sense or your ability to apply classroom based knowledge anywhere but in the classroom. And if you'd like i'd be more than happy to give you my credentials Yet many here, including Foraker and Tvashtarketena, are more than happy to support their anti-Bush positions with their (claimed and perceived) academic prowess. What is apparent to me is that those with higher ed degrees are sometimes the least likely to see fault in their arguments despite their self proclaimed critical thinking abilities. At some point critical is supplanted by cynical, and there doesn't seem to be any way out of the box. Bush is no genius - certain. But in this case, it was particularly galling to listen to a couple of douche bags (likely one-in-the-same, the "13" brothers) bash Bush's intellect when they are so clearly and glaringly deficient themselves. Ditto, glassgowkiss. I don't support an 'anti-Bush' agenda. I support a 'pro do-the-right-thing' agenda. So far, I have yet to see much in that category from this administration. Plus, how do you know I don't just have an 7th grade education? It wouldn't take much more than that to correctly assess this presidency as a failure.

The LEXICON of this man.... Six languages...and he's a moron in every single one of them.

I see you're packing an ass cam these days. Next few shots were a bit underexposed, hmmm?

Jay, like me, has a well-developed lexicon Jesus, I almost dropped a kidney on that one. From the Einstein whose ideas don't get much more cogent than "lick sack, asshat". BIG IDEAS, EVEN BIGGER LEXICON.

KKK is a BIG IDEA man. Details are not his strong suit.

i'm thinking more of a world goverment. according to trashtalkingtina you'll know when they show , battering rams , explosives you name it. Don't ever use my name to support your opinions. The battering ram scenario I described is a standard police raid in the United States. They happen all the time and have been for years. The closest thing to a one world government, historically, has been us.

Bottom line: Bush may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he can run circles around you. I'd say this line of argument comes from the dull edge of a butterknife.

Chestbeat #2: I've sea kayaked into the Blue Hole. For accuracy's sake, didn't the Giant Whistling Hole in the Earth appear in a Wonderdog, not Deputy Dog, episode?

Spray's easiest target:

"Did I ever tell you you're my he---ro?"

"'Arsenol'. When your freedom is threatened, don't sweat it." Available in spray or roll on. Wait...what's that sound? Is that a Black Helicopter? Has ZOG finally come for me?

"Concerned Canuck, clearing crazed canine, cracks convulsing crackhead's craw."

Just for accuracy's sake, I posted a specific list of them on that thread, that included at least one reference to the actual legislation. Not that accuracy is your strong point.

OK, I'll answer that. The last time I was in a fight (it wasn't a 'fist fight'...that's for idiots who don't know how to fight) was in high school. It lasted about 10 seconds. I was a wrestler at the time, so I body slammed the guy, took the wind out of him, and calmly walked away. People who continue to 'get in fist fights' have in adulthood have behavioral problems, usually associated with alcoholism. If you have such a history, you might look into this. I'm comfortable with knowing what I need to know to disable an attacker, if it should ever become absolutely necessary. In that kind of situation, there are few fists involved (an idiots way to wind up with a broken hand). Viable self defense involves strikes to the groin, jabs to the eyes, and the breaking of fingers and arms through the use of leverage than pretending you're Rocky Balboa, as much as that may appeal to your juvenile fantasies. When it comes to that point, you're out to seriously harm your opponent, not prove a point. That shouldn't be taken lightly, because once that ensues you're exposing yourself to some really nasty legal bills. It also does not involve provoking a fight. Ever.

When was the last time your were in the back seat of a black and white?

...you mean most people. About half...the lower 50th percentile, mostly.

There's more than one kind of fight, and I'm already involved in the kind that actual makes a difference. You're not. Dead people make very poor fighters indeed.

I haven't given up. I'm just working it on the legislative/public education side, you know, the side that can actually make a difference. Work it on the violence side, and, well, you'll lose and go down as just another kook who lost his marbles. Nobody beats the government when it comes to force. They've got an unlimited amount of it. 44 mag? Against assault rifles, shotguns, and Glocks? Bwaah! You've been watching too much Dirty Harry, amigo. Pure, adolescent fantasy. You wouldn't even be able to swing the barrel around before they turned you into hamburger. Remember; you don't do it for a living. They do. Plus, you're not expecting them, but they're expecting you. So, if your idea of 'doing something' is being the proud owner of a hand cannon and talking tough, you're not doing anything at all.

Um, no you won't. For one thing, standard procedure for a raid when the suspect(s) are believed to be armed is to come at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning, in force. They blow your door with explosives or a battering ram, and if you don't show both hands empty within about 3 seconds you'll be dead before you hit the floor. And I guarantee they are MUCH better shots than you'll ever be.

That's the Army of God. Check out their website. So many different brands of Christianity to choose from.

Forgot this one. NE Butt in center right of photo.

Best I can do: From the Storm King summit

What about our Right to Parrrrrr-tay?

are you referring to the six abortion center incidents in the past ~ 10 years, or McVeigh....the confessed AGNOSTIC ericb writes, "the confessed agnostic," as though being an agnostic were a crime, the crime. Interesting. not so much....some lefties point to his Roman Catholic upbringing and thus deem his acts those of a Christian terrorist. His own statements counteract this supposition I've never once read or heard of McVeigh ever being associated with Christianity. I'd make an educated guess that you just made that up off the top of your head, you know, like you do the rest of your arguments. You've apparently got the Militia Movement mixed up with the Army of God. That's OK though, no clarity of thought is expected, so none is missed.
