Texas longhorn
If you ever have to “grab a bull by the horns” try a Texas longhorn. Considering that my first post was critical of SF Chronicle's depiction of USMC General Mattis – but somehow got into a vanity section – I wouldn’t be surprised that this too gets reclassified the same way. According to some members here, I invited the Wrath of Gods upon myself on account of:
a) being new – not knowing the ropes
b) having posted a vanity as my first article
c) me being a pink, pro-communist, liberal threat to security of the United States because my name contains too many consonants
d) In my naiveté I posted my real name and a degree which most plumbers and cab drivers consider offensive, and would prefer I dropped out of high school.
Something else came to my mind watching the Oliver Stone (BOOOO! – scared ya’, didn’t I?) movie JFK, last night. OK cat lovers, donkey posters get your ammo out, this is gonna be your field day, the more pictures of animals the better. Since films ordinarily fall into the category of culture I think this is the appropriate placement for this sarcastic semi-grievance.
Meanwhile back at the ranch: JFK (BOO! Scared you again) the movie revolves around this New Orleans District attorney Jim Garrison – a true life character. By all accounts the director (Stone) and this Garrison were more pink than pink, and therefore enemies to certain forums that enjoy posting pictures of domestic animals. But something unexpected happened. This Garrison (as pink as you want to make him) took the bull by the horns and strongly fought for what he believed. Contrary to the general perception that he may have been a “pinko” in his real life, I see, his fight, his irreverence, his stubbornness, his strong moral adherence to protecting the Laws of our country, his clash with the FBI, as the very essence of a good radical warrior who just happens to be on the wrong side of the fence (providing I ever grant anybody to put up a fence between me and my country). I would want that man on my side, no matter what side I choose to be on. All his qualities (in the film), I admire. Now, since (according to Hoyle) he is colored pink, I must hate him. Well, I won’t. That’s what DOGMA stands for. In plain English: Do not use your brain or any part thereof. Listen to the “powers that be” even if you have to swallow your own foot on a daily basis. Now certain forums (especially cat and donkey lovers), verbally stand for all things American, and learned how to pump/beat their chests in the name of the Flag, the fifty nifty united states, the incredibly clever president we happen to be blessed with, but they will swallow you whole, if you, as much as pronounce the letter P, let alone spell out the entire word P-I-N-K.
OK you got me. It really isn’t a topic about culture. It is a topic about LACK OF CULTURE. What we so strongly and so profoundly believe, we shall demonstrate by destroying even the worthiest of those who we (mistakenly, self-righteously and pompously) endow with signs of a pinko. This Pinko (Garrison) fought tooth and nail against all odds and his deeds make him my brother, even if he’s the worst scum of the Earth, in your eyes. I saw in him the admiration for the country, Law, Constitution, pride of being American and the will to face unforgiving odds in an uphill struggle. OK, I’m done. Start the cat barrage. Get the donkeys out of the closet. Or, alternatively you may choose to read and make some sense by looking at yourself. Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Just bring it on. Let him, who has sinned not, cast the first stone.

Try not to be condescending or insulting while you are there.
Also you might do well to not show up and start making your own rules.
Some plumber might smack ya with his G.E.D. or something.
1. It is das deutsch. It's neuter and the "d" is NOT capitalized. That's a fac, Jack. The COUNTRY is capitalized and it's also das Deutschland.
Ich bin FRAU Kommandant starfish 923.
2. Lol. No, you're not dumb. You simply know your limitations. Knowing just that is a major step in learning, maturity and wisdom.
Or this - when your English is equal to mine or most others on this American-hosted forum, then you may lecture us in English on how smart you are (while simultaneously insulting the trades).
Q: What's the difference between you and a plumber?
A: A plumber provides a valuable service to the market.
Apparently I am, Doctor. But I do know what the word "synonym" means.
"Post hole Digger."
Apparently Dr. Mensa is a multi-cultural jerk. :-) We all have our special talents.
Hook em' Horns. How about that Rose Bowl!?
When I begin posting comments on boards using those languages I'll be
sure that my usage of the language in question far exceeds your use of English.

I've read your post and the first 18 replies. Yet, I'm still wondering "why all the fuss?"
Must be that I don't have a PhD...
So if you were a moderator on indymedia's site, doesn't that make you a....troll?
He also posts there:

Interesting blog, too:
http://www.lulu.com/iliya]http://www.lulu.com/iliya
the homepage say's can't edit yet it was a moderator ?
That didn't work:

Yes, fortunately or unfortunately I could not get the good doctor's site to load.
Maybe PhDs can edit and moderate.
Just not plumbers like us.
It was designed by PhDs instead of plumbers.
Adjust browser settings upwards on the IQ filter and it'll work fine.
Not just posting - lecturing. Pontificating!
Of course, I wouldn't expect a lowly untouchable such as yourself to understand such a complex scenario. ;-)
