Can you? The answer seems to be 'No'.

I don't usually go this far out of my way to prove a point BUT....

Link that proves you are an idiot

The question posed to me by plunker was:

"stlhdh2o

Do you think the world would be a better place with the fall of the US republic?"

My complete answer was:

*********************

"Not exactly, Plunk.

US imperialism, yes.

It starts with cleaning up the mess we made in the middle east after WW II. First step: Admitting that its even our problem. Until we in the 'republic' take responsibility we will be fighting the war on terror.

Fighting the war on terror should be our primary focus as a nation. It has not been, we've been too busy in Iraq. Should any president that makes a mistake that big, one that threatens our national security so egregiously, be given an opportunity to screw it up again? Even worse perhaps? Were another terrorist attack to occur on US soil in a second Bush term, would he try to blame Clinton?

...and is the thought of Kerry for four years THAT overwhelmingly bad in comparison to what we've seen out of Dumbya?

Should the ranks of Al Qaeda treble before you rate his presidency an abject failure?

Fall of the republic? Heck no, aim low. Start with the presidency and work to change certain aspects of US culture slowly over time.

I'm so radical."

Funny, I'll bet you are the only one that reads that thread, including your right handed compatriots, that doesn't see your ass being handed to you every time you open your gob.

Now Mr. Reading Comprehension...where THIS tangent started was when you posted this:

"Whooooa there doggy! Do you forget your post of just a few weeks ago blaming American Imperialism and Jewish zionist for 9-11 Or are you just trrying to get a brown ring arouns your nose here?"

Note the derision as you misquote me.

Note that in this same thread YOU called ME a douchebag.

Note your inability to spell simple words like 'around'.

You are a virus with shoes. Thank god for you though, if it weren't for morons like you giving the republican party a skidmark the election might be a little closer this fall.

Next time you fly aboard the aircraft carrier declaring vitory, it might be a good idea to wait until the war is over....know what I'm saying?

Contrition with your crow? Doubt it....

3:48 am?

Either you need some Ambien too , or you're a very, very early riser.
------------------------------------------------------------

BTW---What's the deal with the new moniker?

I thought you couldn't change it unless you registered as a new member.

I've wanted to change mine for awhile--is that possible?

Thanks AuntM :p


Sincerly,

Rory Bellows, aka SCOWAK

Aunty you know I don't fish....just ask Slabquest.

Rory-

Gonna side with Elvis on this one too? Did I make it pretty clear what a troll is and why they're not welcome here? You don't see the same kind of animosity from me or anyone else that posts here towards the kj's, silver hilton's and dogfish types, conservatives that are able to frame their arguments with a tone of mutual respect. You could learn a thing or two from them I think.

I have myself and I'm a better poster as a result. Just a thought.....

Rory-

Gonna side with Elvis on this one too?--H20

Side with TK on what? If you re-read my post you'll see that I made a joking reference to the Ambien I once mentioned in a previous post that I took one night ( that you spun into a drug legalization hypocracy theory). Then acknoweledged that you had changed your moniker and that I had been interested in doing that myself.
------------------------------------------------------------
.....conservatives that are able to frame their arguments with a tone of mutual respect.

I have myself and I'm a better poster as a result. Just a thought....H20

Does this new interest in mutual respect apply to those on the left as well?
If it does, I'm all for it.

Sincerly,

Rory aka Wackos and Bible boy

Ambien...I'd forgotten. Nice tie-in, I missed it ........you're learning.

Yes, the tone of respect I'd like to see restored to this forum applies to those on the left including the right.

Again, its a matter of the way you carry yourself, and I don't just mean you, Rory....I mean anyone who walks in this virtual room, including myself. You can't just walk into a room full of strangers and expect them to find you respectable, you are a blank book at that point and the person who fills the pages is you. You want respect? You want me to call you by your real name? Engage in a dialog with someone just once where you don't claim you're right and that everryone who has a different opinion than you is wrong.

You haven't been around here long enough to remember but in the old days, auntym and I
held a mutual enmity for each other that ran pretty deep. We're talkin five years....

Rich G is prolly one of the most politically conservative dudes on this board, although painfully quiet about it. He and I have become pretty good friends on the board after arguing either side of an 'emotional' issue respectfully.

Why is it that GH, AM, h2o, et al don't speak to you as respectfully as they do kj? Read his stuff.

Then read yours. Hopefully its obvious.

H20,

Respect is a two way street. If one were to be completely objective in reviewing my previous posts, one should take a look at the previous posts of the PP members I was reponding to.

I don't see the consistancy in overlooking the insults and childish name calling of those whom you're in political agreement with, but fingerpointing and placing blame at the person whom you're at odds with politically who was responding to the the childish name calling and insults that were hurled at them.

I personally am all for a more respectful exchange of ideas.

Sincerely,

Rory Bellows :p

H20,

You said what you said and just like your hero Kerry you cannot go back and change the context. It's cear what you think and it's as far left as you can go.

AM,

A bunch of pots calling the kettle black. You get what you give in life. To find AM and H20 discussing name calling is nothing short of funny. If you have a problem with it the best way to stop it is to stop it yourself. I have yet to name call anyone that did not take that tack with me first. If anyone can prove otherwise I will glady apologize.

How 'bout those Mariners?

Read the thread Elvis, I didn't change a word OR the context. Click the link or reread the Bill Maher thread.

Yes it's extremely clear that you take the extreme Muslim view and blame us imperialism and zionist Jews for 9-11. Just like the abuser blames the victim for his actions. It's a real common theme out of the far left in this country and Europe.

"And 4Salt was mean to me. "


I hereby formally apologize for any meanness, intentional or otherwise, I've directed at you over the course of my tenure on these BB's AuntyM.

H2O,

The U.S. didn't have much to do with the partitioning of the middle east after either of the WWs. You might want to read; A Peace to end All Peace, From Beirut to Jerusalem and A Decade of Decisions to gain insight of the political and social forces that have shaped the modern Middle East.
Not a flame, just in case you're interested.

Thanks for the reading suggestion, I'll check it out. Looks like a historical recounting as opposed to analysis which appeals to me.


My point was that since the end of wwII and the creation of an Israeli state/dissolving of the palestinian state the united states has been Israels biggest defender. We are their biggest financier, their miltary training comes from us as do the majority of their miltary technology.

Ever notice how most Israelis are of Caucasin decent? I wonder if that's a sore spot for Arabs?

AM,

It is clear that you cast the first stone in the insult war with me as you have others on this board. You then cry foul when someone plays it better than you do. So typically childish of you to not expect what you dish out.

What points?

Ouch! that really hurts .

I had the farrier out this weekend. While he was triming the horses hooves they both took a dump one after the other. As they where doing it I imagined that is exactly what AM And H20 look like talking. The orifice looked about the same the smell was about right and the end result was identical to what you two put forth. Then I realized that would be an insult to a pair of fine animals and I apologized to the horses for that thought.
