Passing of an American Legend

[Censored by Laurie]

There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party ... and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently ... and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties

Hi Rick.

Sometimes the whole +/- thing is not enough. That was particularly lame. And, it would also count as a personal attack. It's embarrassing to the Mean Green "Family" (if you're going to attempt to use clever wordplay to disparage and belittle someone, at least get the word right). I'm not saying anything about your content. I have no problem if someone dislikes one of America's most significant public intellectuals because he comes from a subject position and espouses ideas they don't agree with. How about just being a little more mature about it and not embarrass your alma mater? Just a thought. There are a good number of posters on this forum who share your values but do not do so through such puerile methods. Imitation of them might be a wise course to chart.

Appreciate it, but it's cool...I just now take all of Rick's insinuations that I'm gay as his way of saying he wants to bone me. It's his internet version of tapping his foot twice towards the stall next to him in a men's room.

What happened to the old FFR? All you do now is piss on people over here or political-monger in the Pie forum.

This, in particular, is tasteless.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you are quite possibly the face of UNT fandom...like the Mean Green version of Crazy Ray or Zonk. If anyone needs to be held to a higher standard and take the high road EVERY TIME, it really needs to be you sir.

Could I get an 8 piece with this post? Polynesian sauce please.

[Green P1]

I'm not the one who makes the constant gay, porn, sexual references in half my posts. That would be your area. Please. I was teasing, and you know it. And go ahead and let Shuke D know you knew it as well.

Good grief.

Rick

Careful Rick. I hear that's how it all starts. First you're laughing at gay stuff, then you're teasing people about gay stuff, then you're going out of your way to promote anti-gay stuff, next thing you know you're so wrapped up in gay stuff you start experimenting with gay stuff. Once you've experimented, I assume you just immediately decide to go full gay. I think that's how it works?

Question, no info.

Is that what that means? I m usually not concerned about what men in the stall next to me is doin? But that may just be me?

"Sarcasm Alert"..for those who don't get sarcasm.

The people in Germany during the 30's thought they were always right too .... and were very intolerant of those who thought differently. That did not turn out so well for them or the others...

The right: [ We are always right and you are wrong and we will make fun of you ]

The left: [ We want to be left alone, believe as we want , and be free to do and think as we want as long as it harms no one else ]

Financial conservative has nothing to do with either...... don't go into debt, buy only what you can afford, and pay your bills. [ sure hasn't happened by USA since 2001 by either party, debt is now triple what first 42 Presidential administrations did... TOTAL ]

Here's the latest leftist wanting to be left alone while not concerned with who she harms, calling Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter Willow a whore and a future porn star.

---Not everyone on the "right" are good people and not everyone on the "left" are either.... You are pointing out an individual... not a group. But I do think teaching morallity starts at home.... Sarah Palin sorta failed in that...... but she can sure tell the rest of us how to behave. If we are into picking out individuals then the party of Gingrich and Rush Limbough are greatly immoral... [check out their life history, terrible].... can't just pick out a few people and make generalizatuions.

---Some think that anyone who disagrees with them are "liberal pagan socialists".... that is nuts. I suspect I am much more financial conservative than you are yet you think I am a "damn liberal" . The debt going nuts after 2001 didn't bother you...(it doubled or equalled the total of 42 previous administrations).... but you have constantly supported them... i didn't hate them but that increasing debt bothered me big time... and it didn't you it seemed ...because you "claimed to be conservative"....... you call that conservative??? .... in religion maybe.... not financially....... Many Islamics are very conservative in religion too.... they think everyone else that believes differently deserves to die. Westwood Baptist is very conservative too... they are sure they are right and the rest of us are damn liberals. .... which likely even includes you... or do you support them too??

---You need to stop spewing politics and being "holier than thou" if they dare disagreee with you...... you are losing a lot of friends (and respect).

---The economy and a lot other things hit the in fan in 2008 ... largely because of the insame debt plus banking and Wall Street practices which controls had been taken off. You can't just let kids run wild or bankers or chemical/oil companies either...... check out spots in West Texas where they dumped stuff before there were government regulations to stop it. I can show you places where weeds won't even grow.... too polluted. No one likes being told what to do ... even out of control kids..... but some supervison is necessary.

....or an out of control Department of Justice interfering with a voter intimidation prosecution while hypocritically sueing Texas over it's own voter I.D. law.

Seems to me it often goes this way.....

If a liberal disagrees with you, then YOU should be more tolerant. But if you disagree with a liberal, they want to find a way to punish you.

I wonder what it is about those ever so tolerant liberals?
