I think he just misread the report. The part where it said that Iran had discontinued its nuclear weapons program, Bush misunderstood the word "discontinued", he thought it meant something to the effect of "accelerated". Simple mistake.

This is an amazing re-run of the 'yes they do/no they don't' Iraq fiasco. I couldn't believe Bush could be stupid enough to invade Iraq in late '02, but, after seven years of constant train wreck, I've come to realize that the man's faculties are so dull that there's no fuck up too great for him. Even more heartening: my countrymen voted him in...twice.

 

This singular and painful fact leads me to believe that America will continue to face tougher times ahead, because we are apparently no longer capable of recognizing impending disaster and acting constructively to avoid it. Time and time again, we choose salve over substance, and postponement over proactiveness, and, most particularly, myth over reality.

 

But we are a nation of myth junkies. We're one of, if not the, most fundamentalist of first world nations. In a grotesque extension of Manifest Destiny, we overwhelmingly believe that we are entitled to 'lead' the rest of the world. We still believe in our own nearly absolute power, based on our singular decisive victory against Japan 60 years ago (let's face it; we played a sideline role in Europe; Russia really defeated the Axis), despite the abject failure of that power in two wars against primitive foes, the rise of China, and the fall of our own economy. In short, we're a nation of addicts: always dissatisfied, always paranoid, always needing to be in control, and never actually in control.

 

Frankly, this fucking national neurosis is growing a bit tiresome.

Lest anyone think I exaggerate...

 

"Well, that's a completely different discussion, and not the one that's been going on here. No, Blake's attitude is to hold his gear choices out as the 'right' ones, and denigrate anyone who chooses otherwise, rather than just say, 'look, this has been my experience'. FF went right along with this arrogance by making fun of those customers for choosing competing products that they simply don't offer, as if that choices were somehow 'illegitimate' or 'for fashion only' (as if that's a problem). I argued that the ultra light sweaters are a viable, logical, and versatile choice for backcountry users such as myself as well as urban users. My viewpoint is that, if you want to run a successful business, listen, don't preach to your customers. Eric8 chimes in with nothing but some fuckhead spray. And somehow I'm the tool?"

You're a bit late. Blake and I have already exchanged friendly PMs, kissed, and made up, and I've toned down the post you so helpfully quoted and moved to Spray. As for the largely unintelligable post prior to that...you might try laying off the breakfast bong hits, dude.

I just wanted to share something I came up with while I was calculating how many lesbians per square meter I should let move in with us to save the planet:

 

"punk is socially conscious. punk is pro-thought.

punk is feminine, with a masculine energy, and vice-versa."

 

It's been an incredible day so far.

Interesting observation for someone who has never met me. We're not...fantasizing a bit, are we?

 

Frankly, I'm flattered. You don't form any kind of physical embodiment at all in my mind. A runny liquid, perhaps, but nothing with any tangible shape.

Excuse me a minute, something brown that smells like ass just dribbled out the side of my monitor...

 

the smell you detected is the regurgitated dog shit you ate for lunch. you gotta stop felching the neighbors' pets.

 

as for "fresh" - you should talk. you splatter this forum continuously with copious volumes of immutable, fetid shit-spray.

 

now go lick sack

No need to fantasize. We all know what you look like

 

Welcome back, hoser. In your poll, bad taste won out over common sense.

 

Everything OK? Too frikkin’ busy to answer my emails? Bite me.
