What if ... We Never Went to War With Iraq?

[AmishDude]

a self portrait of "things I's like to be when (if) I grow up - I'm impressed.

I've always found that perfecting my typing skills is an ongoing battle.

I didn't notice any references though

"There are none so blind as those who will not see."

no note from your wife

Paging Dr. Freud. Someone slipped over here.

but we all appreciate the time you put in to filing a personal profile.

Well, thank you very much, but it's just a little HTML, anybody can do it. Well, almost anybody.

[Kush]

I didn't notice any references though - no financial disclosures, no DD214 and no note from your wife that you even have permission to stay up this late and talk to the adults - but we all appreciate the time you put in to filing a personal profile.

Holy Mackerel.

Is it just me, or is it starting to get warm in here?

[AmishDude]

Talking to some high school kids today, telling me that they score 1250---and the did not know that we even fought Germany in WWII!

And it's so appropriate: "Did we quit when the Germans attacked Pearl Harbor? No!"

[AmishDude]

Is it just me, or is it starting to get warm in here?

I don't know. Looks like it stopped all of a sudden.

...Hussein came and asked permission to take over Kuwait. We said yes.

Liar.

We said no such thing. You really believe that Bush41 told Hussein that if he wanted to take over Kuwait, it would be fine with us. Then we went to war to take it back. Rght.

You are either insane, or a cheesy disruptor, or just plain got sh*t for brains. My bet is on the latter.

Kush - open up the face piece on your armor - we've got half an hour glass left before the joust actually begins and me thinks the ladies in waiting require some acknowledgement.

And what, exactly, do you think she meant to convey by her "We have no opinion ..." statement?

Definition of opinion from Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage.

1 a : a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter b : APPROVAL, ESTEEM
2 a : belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge b : a generally held view
3 a : a formal expression of judgment or advice by an expert b : the formal expression (as by a judge, court, or referee) of the legal reasons and principles upon which a legal decision is based

Well, then, we shan't keep the ladies in waiting, er, uh, waiting, then, right? At least we can practice safe sex. All the chastity belts have combination locks.

"Rght."

Oops that's an ASSumption.

"You are either insane, or a cheesy disruptor, or just plain got sh*t for brains. My bet is on the latter"

Its 8-5 against. And "either" should only be used when you are offering 2 options not 3 - as in "either" "or".

Sorry your suspect from the outset.

By the way a "cheesy disruptor" - that's the eightyteenth time I've seen this phrase on this site in the last 2 days-what exactly does it mean? - before I "either" fess up to being one "or" deny same.

Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to respond.

"...a self portrait of "things I's like to be when ..."

No "I's" is what I intended here -

[Wondervixen]

Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

Grammar, then. Not typing. Fair enough. Well, it would have to be grammar, because it couldn't be an attempt at humor. I mean, that'd be just pathetic.

You're right. If I were a piano company I'd make plaster casts of her legs before they're lost to medical science.

Actually, Hitler is a common cultural reference for one.

I guess my complaint is that some people think, if they can manage to work in a comparison to Hitler, that they've thrashed their opponent's arguments so thoroughly there's nothing he can say in reply. What they're really done is change the argument to Hitler without really addressing the other person's arguments. Radio talk show host Dennis Prager, whom I listen to here from Los Angeles, I don't think has ever gone two day in a row without mentioning Hitler. To me it's the mark of a second class mind. He's irritating in other respects too. The other day he announced that compassion is the key element of character and that ever since he was a little boy he's always had more compassion than anyone he never knew. Talk about humility! It's running out the enlarged pores in his nose.
