    G'bye...

    Na, I was writing you a long PM when Levi flipped off the wall switch and cut the power to the computer. *sigh* I'll go ahead and try to give you the Readers' Digest version here, and hopefully it won't be the cause for anymore dispute. The point I was trying to make in RW was just that a...

    G'bye...

    Well, it was a tumultuous few weeks... I guess I should have stayed away from RW. I can't stick around anymore, though. I'm not sure what allows some of you guys to beat each other up in RW, and then come over here and be friends, but I don't have it. I'm also not sure what allows some of you to...

    Thanks, guys. I didn't see this until my birthday was over. It was a pretty good day. I didn't die, nothing fell off, nothing broke down. The only difference is that now I don't have to dread turning 40 anymore. :) Take care...

    How I see the political spectrum, and why.

    I apologize. I over-generalized in making my point, and it wasn't fair to you. I've noticed that you haven't been debating lately, and I didn't really expect a response from you. You did, however, understand the intention of my post and defended it when it was misconstrued. Thank you again for...

    How I see the political spectrum, and why.

    Go ahead and lock the thread. I spent the better part of this morning typing up the opening post, and I didn't get one single response with any appreciable content in exchange for my effort. Not only that, but I have been personally insulted in the worst possible way. I'm going to leave you...

    Show me where I said something bad about her.

    How I see the political spectrum, and why.

    Bullshit. She was in a debate with me about the virtue of socialism. Bullshit. She was using herself as an example of why there should be social programs. Bullshit. She, and you, and Q, and Justin, all want me to feel bad because I don't believe that she has the right to someone else's...

    How I see the political spectrum, and why.

    You guys can't win the argument, so you have to make it personal.... This isn't Love and Lifestyles. I have plenty of sympathy for Leslie's situation. I'm not going to let her use that sympathy to win the debate, though. Regardless of what she's going through, I don't think it's right for the...

    International Criminal Court. Again.

    Ya know... just because I use the term "left" doesn't mean I'm talking about you... (I'll bet you think this post is about you, don't you?)

    How I see the political spectrum, and why.

    I've had three sisters who went through divorces, and as far as I know, none of them required government assistance. They got a small amount of help from me and other members of the family, but that, of course, was completely voluntary on our part.

    Syria pushing WMD treaty in mid east?

    :lol: I'm sure that if the left thought we could trust Saddam, then they will agree that we can trust Ariel Sharon. :)

    How I see the political spectrum, and why.

    Forced? No one's forcing them to do anything. It's their choice to work for the things they need, beg for them or do without. What you're saying is because they choose not to work, someone else should be forced to support them.

    International Criminal Court. Again.

    Now how in the world did you conclude that I would think that? What have I ever said to make anyone think that I would advocate taking people out and shooting them for what they believe?

    Letter to parents from daughter

    Heheh. If I ever get a letter like that, she's dead. ;) :P

    My babies... (warning: large pics)

    Very nice, Greenie! My amaryllises (sp?) are doing really well this year. I'll have to take some pictures and post them. I haven't done any work on them this year, but I think the weeding and fertilizing I did last year really helped out. I'm probably going to have to dig them up and...

    I'm ... old ... but lucky

    Well... I turned 16 on the 16th too... 24 years ago today. Tell your son Happy Birthday for me. :)

    International Criminal Court. Again.

    It's not something to be offended by.

    How I see the political spectrum, and why.

    I have a thread going on Marxism. It could really use some input from someone who's familiar with his writings. So far there have only been ten posts, four of them mine.

    International Criminal Court. Again.

    Attacking him on such a trivial point does absolutely nothing to refute anything he said. And the Permanent People's Tribunal? They may not be communists, but they're damn sure anti-capitalists... Do the research yourself.

    Syria pushing WMD treaty in mid east?

    My position is that free, democratic countries have the right to arm themselves to the teeth to defend against attack by dictatorships. It's not just about Israel. I also believe that Turkey and India have the right to arm themselves, as well. It's the same principle as allowing law abiding...
