poll: how old are you?
« on: September 05, 2009, 06:08:46 PM »
The most-recent poll asking the primitives of Skins's island how old each of them are, got me thinking.  We haven't ever run a similar survey on this site, and it would be interesting to know how old decent and civilized people are, when compared with the primitives.

Of course, while decent and civilized people can be trusted to answer the question honestly, one can't ever be too sure about the primitives, many of whom appear to have pared circa 10 years off their ages.

If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

God alone suffices.

You don't have to wear a uniform to be a patriot and fight for America's safety. When you see something wrong, raise Hell. Write, email or call your congresscritter. Attend a Town Hall meeting. Join your local GOP association. Send a care package to a Marine or soldier in the sand box. Write a letter to one. http://anymarine.com/index.cfm

As a voracious reader it was golden to get letters and magazines when I was at Fallujah.

I'll be 45 next month, the same month that The Heiress turns 2.

Apparently it does, sir; you're the old man here.

But not to worry; decent and civilized people seem to be younger, more youthful, more full of life and vigor and zest, than the primitives on Skins's island.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
