or a pig or a flea...


My only concern with diminishing the population of pigs is that'll drive up the cost of sausage and pork chops.


**** fleas.

RM became IT in 1998 if I remember correctly.

I could be incorrect about the date, but there are no RMs in the Navy any more,  we're IT's now as computer technology is the preeminent communications technology.  



*Nov 1999 was the merger date of RM and DP to IT

As I recall, it was the DP's who were behind the 8-ball and the RM's who were pretty much up to speed.

Perhaps that's why IT's wear RM sparks.

Incorrectamundo.

what makes me laugh about this entire thing is that everyone seems to fail on logic. This Absolut-whatshisname may be a Lib, but he's also 100% correct in this statement above. Unless y'all are going to prove every-single-case, then you can't prove "ALL." Sheesh - simple friggen logic.  :whatever:

If you're a lib, we won't get along on most (almost all) things. But on logic and stupid bullshit, I'll support the person who is correct.

Naturally.


It is a political term.

Orginating from the time of the French Revolution, where in the National Assembly traditionalists and monarchists sat to the Right, moderates in the center, and Radicals, Republicans or Jacobins to the Left.

No, I mean they want to control other people. If people like me were the majority the Congress would meet for a week and go home, the government would be so small that it would have no real impact on day to day lives. We have no desire for government to control anyone or anything.

'Makers vs Takers' is another good term for the differences between one side and the other.

Everyone is naturally inclined to want to control other people, to impose their values on the public at large.  The main difference between the stereotypical established left and right are what aspects of life, culture, and society they look to regulate and or restrict and what they look to liberalize.

Fortunately not everyone melds into the stereotypical.

And this is where you are completely incorrect.

BTW - since you called it, please PROVE that "everyone is naturally inclined...."

Play by your own rules, please.

Be aware - I agreed with you on your logic. But focusing on semantics rather than the actual topic also makes you a petty bitch.
