As a matter of fact, y'all would be surprised at the various forums to which I belong (ed).  :o

I have reasons for joining them all.

Maybe not--you actually have to SAY something or have an opinion rather than just post-whore.

Why am I not surprised objectivity was so easily dismissed?

Looking in the mirror again, Thor?  Seriously, I don't know why you defend someone like Mr. Seagull here.

And when I have something to say, I say it.  Ever known me to mince words, airedale?

Because you're both Sailors and I like you both. (Even though you're a Bubblehead Nuke and Nick's a Blackshoe geek) BTW, I'm not really defending Nick, just pointing out facts. ;)

I'll call him a sailor when he gets his first Sea Service Ribbon.  Till then...get some time on the ****ing pond, nub.

Meh--it's all good, Thor.  Even you too, Nick.  But don't expect me to cut you any slack--look how I treat my FRIENDS...  :evillaugh:

If I needed someone to bore somebody to death by hair splitting, Nick would be the first person I called on.


Throw out a statement like this:

"He meant the president politicizes everything about himself because Bush is a power-grubbing ego-maniac. All conservatives do."


And you'd be surprised the company I'd find at "hair splitting."



Think.

Okay, Nick--how about this--would you or would you not consider many of Obama's public appearances (including yesterday's speech in Ohio) as liberals politicizing a bad situation for political gain?  

If not, why is it he is still so eager to pull out the "it's Bush's fault" card?  It's been a year now.  When do you think he'll start fixing problems and stop trying to fix blame?

Sorry, no "been there with someone who got shot at" ribbon.  But I do have a bunch of stuff in my service record with the line, "on a mission of vital importance to national security" in it, if you want to compare dick sizes.   :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Not trying to compare dick sizes, just pointing out that some people don't necessarily have the same or similar quals as another. Nick hasn't been through the grinder on recruiting, but you & I have. Know what I mean, Vern ??

I hear ya--it's just I kind of chuckle when I hear about guys who never went closer than 100 miles to the coast sporting some sort of Rambo-like fruit salad, and I've got a bunch of shit saying, "You were never here, you'll never talk about it even with other people who were there, and if you do we'll put you into a dark hole in a federal prison for a long, long time," but no awards per se.

Hey, they don't call us the "Silent Service" for nothing.

BTW, Sparky, I only have THREE Sea Service awards out of twenty years. However, that doesn't count all of the short deployments I've been on that just barely didn't qualify for an award.
