"Don't you read the threads?"

Well, actually, yes, I do.

That's why I complimented you on your change of metaphors. Apt metaphors are an aid to conceptual thinking. and since it is my honestly held belief that even convinced authoritarians are occasionally open to reason, I seek to constantly encourage a more elevated prose style on whichever threads I participate.

Remarking on infelicitous metaphors is one of my chosen intellectual vectors. ;^)

Other than that, I read Free Republic for the pictures. ;^)

Your supposed "right" to destroy yourself infringes on my right to pursue happiness, being sad at having to sit by and watch people needlessly suffer and die.

The right not to be sad, eh?. Yes. That is exactly what the founding fathers had it mind. If there was ever any doubt that you just don't get it (and there wasn't), its all gone now.

Reasonableness defined by moral-liberals: "You have to agree with my moral-liberal mindset. Otherwise you are not open to reason."

Re: 'reasonableness'

You are the exception that tests the rule, I suppose.

Take two modus ponens with a drink of water and call me in the morning.

And say 'hi' for me, and tell her that the check is in the mail.

Oh my.. I sense some veiled anger..

Not at all, just some casual tit for tat. --- You claimed you would 'boff' somebodies wife, -- I said you sounded like some illegitimate twit of a son I never had. -- Till these nasty words of yours:

Is your mom named "bessie" TPaine? whoops, I am sorry..

Yep, you are a sorry little snot, that I admit. Thats why I left your momma as she stood at the cathouse door.

---- Now, - we can play the dozens till we get banned, if you like. -- OR, --- you could shut your wise ass mouth.

You CAN'T be serious. I know you've said this before, but WHERE is THIS "RIGHT???" No one can make YOU, Cultural Jihad, UNHAPPY???? I KNOW you're doing drugs! Or else you SHOULD be, maybe Thorazine. Or Valium or maybe Prozac.

Face it, YOUR right to pursue happiness DOES NOT and CANNOT prevent anyone else from doing something that might make YOU, the great Cultural Jihad, UNHAPPY! Get REAL! And talk to your doc about upping your prescription!

So much for libertarians being against the form of fraud and force known as "libel." You really ought to consider removing the "born again Christian" label in your profile page if you're going to denigrate that religion with your behavior.

This Libertarian believes in a strong, viable, Reagan era military.

Hmm, so I did. Actually, I asked earlier for a few pounds of what he smokes. It sure is POWERFUL stuff to give him such delusions of adequacy!

Whatta piss ant you are. Grow up.

Expect criticism if you talk of 'boffing wives'. - What IS your problem bunky, - did someone just boff yours?
