8th/Sassy, When I go Everbody Goes!!
So you never saw my reply then, did you?
I did not see the threads from last night, only your response to him this morning (between 8-9 Eastern time). I just assumed that he was on the rampage last night and, in addition to your comment, along with the others, I put 2 and 2 together and it added up that he beat the woman.
I have argued with him before, but normally stay away because he is so hateful of women.
Well, I feel much better now that I got that out of my system. Feel free to send me a bill for venting on you!
Anytime - no fee. As long as you will recriprocate at some point in time.

8th/Indy/sassy, How Do You Decide Inferior?
This is not a definition, but one cannot assume to be superior unless there is an inferior.
The English decided the French are not only inferior but syphilitic (hence the French Disease). The Germans decided the Jews were inferior and every white nationality in humankind that came to America decided that the Indian populations were inferior.
The only way to decree that you have power is to say that another does not - that is how these nations got away with it - when I am told enough times I have the power and are superior, then I am going to believe it.
BTW - did you notice that your post about nevermore got deleted this morning almost as soon as you posted it? Go figure.
Clinton Aids did not vandalize the White House
For those of you who did not see this on the PI Board - read on.
GSA: Clinton Aides Did Not Vandalize White House
By Charles Babington
washingtonpost.com staff writer
Friday, May 18, 2001; 12:31 PM
It's official: President Clinton's aides didn't vandalize the White House, scrawl lewd notes or steal presidential trinkets as they departed and the Bush administration moved in, as some critics had charged.
The General Services Administration, which investigated the alleged misdeeds, said the rumors were unfounded. "The condition of the real property was consistent with what we would expect to encounter when tenants vacate office space after an extended occupancy," said a GSA statement.
Many news organizations, including The Washington Post, reported on the alleged vandalism shortly after Bush took office in January. The Post and other outlets also soon raised doubts about the claims, including President Bush's statement that the allegations were false.
"I think it was this calculated effort to plant a damaging story," said Alex S. Jones, director of the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University, the Kansas City Star reported today. "There was a sort of fertile ground for believing anything bad."
+++++++++++++++++
And who says the media is a bunch of pinko liberal republican-bashing reporters?
Indy/Tower, Permanent Death.
"Once you have established that someone is inferior, you have the necessary freedom to do them harm."
Or good, the choice is within ourselves. The judging part get's scary. How do you establish, that someone is inferior to yourself, myself, or, the collective ourselves?
Wasn't it Eleanor Roosevelt who said the the only person who can make you feel inferior is yourself????
Indy/Re Dennis-"Dead Foals"
FYI, you guys. I saw a promo last night that World News Tonight is doing a piece on the dead foals in KY tonight (Friday). Although I did not hear it, I would not be surprised if Nightline did a follow up as well.
dennis - are you smoking that blue grass?
Jeeeeze, what the f*ck did I say?
Nothing, I wasn't attacking you, just the idea of the fat cats wanting the government to bail them out.
Chill, it was not personal.
dennis/Indy-ACKK! More on dead foals...
What the hell is in that Blue Grass???
While I feel sorry for the horses, I do not feel sorry for the horse owner. Sorry, have no desire to bail out these rich cats.
Quit polluting your grass and maybe the foals won't die.
meme/dpb, Dennis & Sassy
Actually, before you really start to think I'm offended, I thought it really funny. You see rather than resent the remark, I think I resemble it. <G>
Why do you think I said it in the first place, my friend? <g> I wish you would invite more over.
Besides, I know who can take a joke around here and who cannot.
dennis/dpb - Observationisms
Now, I think that it is safe to assumination that it sounds as if you both have heard one too many of GWB's speeches !!! <g>
Dennis/Anyone's joint?
Oh, Sassy, stop it! You know you'd just like to get your hands on anybody's joint!;=}
Now, Dennis, contrary to what you have heard or read, I am very particular about whose joint I wrap my hands around. <VEG>
derelivate/socialism
however, it is ironic that these socialist countries place a higher value on personal freedom than we do in the land of the free not to be.
Although I chuckled over Indy's response, I must ask - why are you surprised at this? Are you confusing socialism with a communist or dictatorship society perhaps? I would think that in a socialist society, drugs would not only be legal, but the government would ensure that every person had a joint in their hand! <G>
dpb/DennisKy, just an observation
Puncuation, Spelling, and Articulation should be held in the very lightest of context by all who wish to converse the very complexities of life.
Oh, I don't know about that. The phrase "Please Don't Stop" can have 2 very different meanings based on punctuation:
Please Don't, Stop
or
Please, Don't Stop
Depends on whom I am with is what context I mean. <g>
dpb/Attention Fatt Matt....
Why is it that most all other boards allow the use of BOLDING, Italics, and UNDERLING using the standard HTML <> tags, yet here a poster must remember to bracket these attributes otherwise, with a [...] format?
I have to agree with Matt (I'll let you decide if he is fat or not <g>) - the brackets are easier because you do not need to shift. The only problem is remembering what board I am on so I know whether to [] or <>.
dpb5 - bring your friends along
Bring my friends to this board, you ask? Now that is quite intriquing as a request. One of two things might potentially happen if I decide to follow your request....
1). They'd potentially call me crazy for asking them here.
My guess is that that already know you're crazy <G>
2). They'd enjoy themselves SO MUCH watching the diatribe here that they'd ultimately deny ever having known me in the first place.
The more, the merrier !!!
I found out about this board from my very good old friend on the Internet, MEME!
She told me - well, you know meme - she picks up anything and invites them here <VBG>
Seriously, we have been trying to infuse new blood into this board. We would love new posters to joy in on the fun.
meme/dpb5/smart_sassy, sorry for the delayed response
I do my best to solicit new blood.
I am sure that many on this board would say that you attempt to suck the blood out of them <g>
Well, you go, girl. We do need a transfusion here. Maybe I should e-mail fearck again - she said she was going to drop by.
dpb5/smart_sassy, sorry for the delayed response.
I post as dpb5 on Raging Bull and the now mostly defuct go.com message boards. Is there some certain posters' nic that I remind you of?
No, it wasn't that - I was just curious if you posted on the Politically Incorrect message board. You seem to have a good sense of humor and I was wondering if you might be using a different name. BTW - what is "raging bull"?
Thanks for that hearty welcome.
You're most welcome - out of curiosity - how did you find this board? Please tell your friends about us.
dennis/From a recent Dilbert newsletter
LOL. I would say that Scott Adams has been watching this board, wouldn't you? I just love Dilbert !!!
Re: Welcome dpb5
Welcome to our sick and demented board - don't get too scared away by our current bickering - meme described it as this board being on the rag, and I agree. Basically, we do respect each other's comments, even though it is not evident at this point.
Part of the problem is that this board is too small and we need new posters. So thanks for coming on board - tell your friends about us. We really can be informative and a lot of fun.
But something tells me that we all already know you - care to tell us how????
mikkj/RE: Spall/Genetic Tinkering/AI/Cloning
There ARE, however, quite a few women we could use some duplicates of. Just enough to go around.
Yeah, there are a lot of smart women out there whose wisdom needs to be spread around the world <G>
LC/Re: Sassy - when did this board stop being fun
I rest my case.
Spall/Re: Sassy - when did this board stop being fun
I try to civil with my posts on this board, but as Librarycop said, after enough insults directed at libertarians, it becomes difficult.
This is what I mean, Spall - you see we get mad at you and LC because we feel that we do answer your questions, and, just because you don't agree with the answer, you guys get beligerant towards us. It really is a vicious cycle.
There is no fixing this, I guess. Too many people feel that they are the maligned, so they are not the problem. Let's drop it and just go on as this conversation did not take place.
Dennis/?
?-? (why not?)
Because.
Indy/Sassy- Re: when did this board stop being fun.
See what I mean? We do not even attempt to talk to one another unless it is peppered with an insult.
I guess I am asking too much. Can we attempt to be civil? I find much of what I read here morally repugnant, but really try not to insult the poster - I don't always succeed, but I try. Can we at least try????
God, I feel we all need to go to a marriage counselor. <g>
And, where in the hell has Think been ?????
LC/Re: Sassy / When did this board STOP being fun?
I am sorry I said anything. Obviously, you enjoy the board the way it is or you would not have posted that message you just did. Have it your way. I doubt I will respond, however. At least here I have an open mind to change things, you apparently do not.
LC/Re: Sassy / When did this board STOP being fun?
If nothing else, it would be interesting to see just how much bias is reflected in your observations.
I did not make this statement for your entertainment purposes. But, to give you an idea - here are two. You have a superiorty complex and your comments are snippy and uppity as you attempt to demean your respondee. I am one who can be closed minded and can become defensive when I feel my position is being challenged. Happy? Unbiased enough? Now this has probably started on the road for some more personal insults.
I think that there are some problems with this board and wanted some constructive comments on how to fix it. Listing each of our faults is probably not a way to correct the situation. I thought that we are all adults here and would agree that we all tend to be childish and immature at times. If you want this to continue, fine by me. I can sling insults with the best of them. However, it is an ineffective way to communicate.
LC/Re: Sassy / When did this board STOP being fun?
sassy:This board has turned into nothing but petty insults - and we are all guilty.
LC:It might be helpful if you would direct your concerns to those for whom such things are a trademark.
Do you think that you are innocent in this? I said "we are all guilty" and by "all" I mean "ALL". Do you want me to get specific and name our faults, by each person?
When did this board STOP being fun?
This board has turned into nothing but petty insults - and we are all guilty.
My free time of late has been sparce - days like today are getting few and far between. I do not wish to spend them reading insults, and the denegration the other's opinion.
Does anyone have any ideas on how this can stop? If we do not get an infusion of new blood, this board will be gone shortly. That is a shame because I certainly feel as if I have made some "friends" here and would not wish to lose contact with.
It is obvious that we will ever agree on anything - do we have to cut each other down in the process? In the immortal words of Rodney King "Can't we all just get along?"
Indy/Sassy-Thank you for that.
There is no Mr. Right, only Mr. Less Wrong, than others. If he lacks the ability to be concilatory in argument and lacks the ability to compromise and be supportive in matters of great importance to you, watch out, probably an insecure control freak, or a libertarian.<G>
You are too funny. Better watch or Library Cop and Spallenzani will be after you.
You know, I once dated a guy who stopped dating me when he found out I was a Democrat. That's OK because I realized I could never go to bed with someone who thought Reagan was the greatest president of the 20th century.
I know about there being no Mr Right, but even Mr. OK is not good enough. I am tired of people telling me that I am too picky - I think I need to be when it comes to a long term relationship. I refuse to compromise on some issues - if I did I could not live with myself. I am a happy person with a great family and friends - a steady would be nice, but not necessary for me to feel "completed" or fulfilled.
dennis/It started out innocently enough. I began to...
LMAO. Great stuff, Dennis. What a way to start my day.
I'm telling ya - work on that book, my friend !!!!
meg/Hate crime Legislation
No one should be punished for their thoughts no matter how sick and twisted the majority of people thik they are.
You are right. No one should be punished for their thoughts. However, when their thoughts turn to action against someone, then they should be punished for it.
I do feel if someone attacks someone just because they are black, or Muslim or whatever, then there should be some type of additional penalty. It is not the thought that should be penalized, but the action.
Dereleviate
Good quote - I must remember that.
Where the hell have you been lately? I see that you are still working on your site. Any idea where Think_Alternative has been??
Good to see you here.
Indy/Sassy/Re: Thank you for that.
Thanks for the clarification. I was just about ready to mail a gift <g>
You are right about the piece of paper - who needs it when you are both happy and content? As I age, my thoughts about marriage have changed. Of course, when you aren't in any long term relationship as I am right now, I don't really give it much thought.
Just be happy that you have someone who loves and cares for you and vice versa. I have to say that I am a bit jealous - I have looked for "Mr. Right" for many years - all I find is "Mr. Right Now". It has its benefits, but not nearly as many as you and your honey have.
Just out of curiosity - how long have you been together? (If that is too personal, just tell me "none of your business")
Indy/Re: Dennis- Thank you for that.
My wife and I laughed till we cried then reread it and roared some more.
Wife? When did you and your honey tie the knot? Or, has it been tied all along and you are just a sweetie who always refers to his wife as "his honey"? If it is recent, much happiness and congrats. Hell, even if it is not recent, much happiness !!!
Just continue to prove my theory that the good ones are always taken (or gay).
Things here have really slowed down....
Any suggestions for bringing it back to life??? I have sent an e-mail to fearck and AlleyCatRocks. Fearck will join in a while and forwarded the address to stteresa. Never heard back from AlleyCat. Any other nominees?
As for me - I will be absent for a while. I leave for vacation on Saturday and upon my return to work will be on the road for almost a month. I will try and post in the evenings, but usually by the end of the day I am too tired to get into an argument.
I really enjoy the "closeness" of this board, but we need to do something. We need an infusion of new blood. Does anyone want to make a general announcment over a the PI Board with the address?? That could bring the bottom feeders over, who knows?
Any suggestions?
Where has Think been????
Re: Sassy - Socialism Crumbling
Sassy: But that's the Liberatarian way, isn't it - only if you can afford it yourself.
LC: You don't pay attention well, do you?
I pay attention very well, but thanks for asking.
About a year ago when I started on these boards, I was inquisitive about liberatarism. I kind of liked the concept "do what ever you want as long as you don't hurt anyone", and asked more about it. The more I read, and heard from you, and others, the more I realized that the concept is "every man for themself". That, I do not like. No matter how you put it, that what liberatarism is, hence, the reason so many of us tell you and the party about being selfish. No matter what you say, that is what it boils down to.
Now go ahead and hone your "cut and paste" skills and rip apart my paragraph.
library cop/Re: sassy/Education in America
Was the tax rate a matter of negotiation between you and the seller, as well as the nature of the services you would receive for them, or was someone else involved in those decisions? Did the seller have the option of selling you the house without making you pay any taxes at all? If not, then what "choice" would either of you have had if you did NOT want to pay taxes? You don't really understand how "choice" works, do you?
No, my choice was to decide to live in that school district, or to live in another one with less taxes. Don't you understand how choice works?
pat/Re: smart_sassy - Education (and lack thereof)
There are programs being taught that go overboard teaching gay awareness and gay sex to children.
And just by telling kids about homosexuality, they are going to become gay? If that is the case, we should not teach our children about the Holocaust, for fear they will all go out and kill Jews. Or teach them about the Roman Empire, for fear that they will kill Christians.
pat/Re: Mikkj - Education (and lack thereof)
No, it is natural, not normal. There is a difference.
Natural - occuring in nature
Normal - conforming to a standard regarded as usual or typical
It is not the norm in ANY species. (ZIP, ZERO, NADA) It is always a fringe group, and usually those with the least chance of breeding.
What's wrong with being natural?
Regardless of how you feel, what do you care what two consenting adults do?
Indy/Re: Sassy-Education in America.
The, fortune eluded me however a certain amount of notoriety was unavoidable and the education couldn't have been purchased or taught within the confines of mother academia.
Nothing takes the place of on the job training or real life experience.
I gotta run now, but will try and be back later tonight. Take care.
