Quarter-century?  Closer to half from where I sit.

Honestly now...  Have you ever seen a liberal give a straight up answer on a message board?

I haven't and I've been on various boards for well over a decade now.

Hellfire. The reality clause regarding forums comes back to bite me on the ass. Well played Mr. T.

And you're a fool, particularly if you think that the "liberalism" George Washington was referring to in the quotation you have in your signature line:




Guess you haven't picked up that I was intent on making that EXACT distinction.


With all due respect.

I tried havin a rational adult discussion on the subject and the issues.  


You did?

Hard to tell that from many of your posts here.

I saw a lot of ducking and dodging and out-right wordsmithing and nit-picking from your side of the debate.

You have opted to play with semantics rather than give open and honest responses.

Your real name isn't Obama is it?

Oh, I get it--we're supposed to "miracle" your intentions out of the screen, otherwise we're just not paying attention.  Kind of like how we're not "smrat" enough to understand what you say.

Then again, you really haven't said ANYTHING yet.

Just try paying attention.  Not as hard as you make it out to be.   K?

Dude,

you serioulsy need to find a new record to play.

We've heard this one several times.

And in case you ain't figured it out, we ain't buying into the tune.

How simplistic of you to accuse those that diagree with you of not "paying attention" to what you think you have clearly stated.

Here's a tip for you:

If a single person doesn't get your point, it might be them not paying attention.

If two people don't get your point, start thinking about your presentation.

If three or more people don't get your point, then you have done a piss poor job of conveying it.

Yeah, but at least with the dog we can rub his nose in it when he shits on the carpet.  Nick might yelp and cry when we try that, but he'll still keep shitting on the carpet anyway.

Well, it's 18 pages of evasion. And it looks like the discussion was snipped from somewhere else. I say keep rubbing that nose in the pile of dog squeeze.

Seriously...

That's your response?

I've seen it written both ways and I like the look of the one I use in my avatar.

Μολὼν λαβέ  is the spelling that wikipedia uses.

But I am not an expert on classical greek , nor I suspect are you.

But your little dig was highly amusing.

If only over it's lameness.
