The Thread Killer

35 years old here, which probably makes me the oldest...a fact that I'm not terribly proud of. Mind you...I don't post here much...but still.

I was here before the Internet.

I'm glad they're having this march. It will give me a chance to break into all the black people's houses and get all my stuff back. HIYO! LOL 2005!

The thing is, any teacher who even touches a kid nowadays is begging to get sued. If I was the teacher, I would have either: 1) Called the cops or 2) Waited until nobody was looking, then punted the little snot right in the slats.

Hmmm. The problem is, in my family...I think I'm the crazy uncle...but point well taken.

If I had the time and inclination, and if it wouldn't make me ill to read his crap, I would do a search and re-print some of the bile he has spewed about Isreal on this board. It's not worth the effort, but trust me...if you were to do such a search you would see that his opinions on Isreal as a nation do indeed border on outright racism.

I think that Mr. Doyle meant that INXS is not only known for being anti-American, but also quite the anti-semite as well.

Wha? I dunno John, I respect you but you're way off on that I think. Fedor isn't as invincible as people like to think he is, keep in mind Kaz "Cement Head" Fujita rocked him, and Fujita is no Couture. Remember, people thought The Iceman and Tito could beat Couture too.

The one thing about "Dave is old" jokes, is that even though they've been going on for years, the longer they go, the older I get. Like when I first started hanging out on The Smarks Board, I was Tom's age. Now I'm much older...like I feel old. Dammit. What were we talking about again?

I've always wanted to sue Tom...and now I finally have a reason. MUHAHAHAHAHAHA... Oh wait a minute. I'm Canadian. We don't do frivilous lawsuits. Damn. *Shakes angry old man fist at Tom*

Mittens!

Thanks a lot guys. I am not enjoying being 35 at all...for some reason it seems to be hitting me harder than most of my birthdays have in the past. I really am feeling old, the whole "half your life has passed you by thing." HOWEVER...today was a great day for me, not because it is my birthday...today the brand new Group Home that I have been planning since last Summer opened and we admitted our first two kids. So at least I can face my birthday feeling like I actually accomplished something worthwhile for once. Thanks for the well wishes guys.

His post is relevant. Every time you post anything, you prove that you are either a really annoying gimmick poster, or a total fucking idiot. Actually...both.

Howard Dean? All I have to say is: YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ... Come on, SOMEBODY had to say it. It was only a matter of time. Actually, Dean (or his staff) certainly knows how to drum up grass roots support. You have to give them that. Oh and also... YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OMGLOL2004! (tm kkk)

YES! That's what the people came here to see.

If Mike and KKK started their own country, I would probably move there...provided that these tits that everybody keeps going on about were also made available in this new country...and that said tits were female and didn't belong to Fat Mikey Moore. Oh and also I would want the new country to declare war on France.

If this guy is going to be at the forefront, that's going to be some interesting "counterculture." "We're taking this fight to the STREETS man...as soon as we can figure out if this door is a PUSH or a PULL to open. Give us a while."

You WOULD say that. You have KKK in your name...plus you want fry Mumia who is obviously a political prisoner held by the racist power structure. If you can't see the conspiracy there...well it must be nice to be in your world. [/C-Bacon] I think that if they all just sat down and talked about it real nicely, everything could be resolved peacefully between George Bush and The NAACP. [/iNXS]

Yes there is an absolute truth...and I am that truth.

Okay wait a minute... This thread talks about Fox News, and kkk posted in it... Yet I see NO reference to another spelling of the word fox which can also be used to say fake and then crying out to your lord and laughing out loud in this year two-thousand and four? I am very disappointed.

Oh for gawd's sake...please don't ENCOURAGE Dingus in his namedropping.

I have a few answers to this question: 1) The decline of public respect for the presidency. I feel that the overall level of respect for the office of president has declined drastically, since JFK. At one time, the president of the United States was an office that carried with it a certain modicum of respect, regardless of who was in power, and what party they represented. The press would even afford a minimal level of privacy to the president, and simply not report stories which were common knowledge or easy to confirm. For example, I do believe it’s been documented that the press were well aware the JFK had some serious health problems, and was also reportedly habitually unfaithful to his wife…yet none of these stories ever made it into mainstream media or were trumpeted on the front page of newspapers. The media didn’t look the other way because they wanted to…they’re reporters…but they didn’t report these stories as sensationally as they could have because the general public wouldn’t have stood for it. There would have been a backlash. The adults of that era wanted the president to be somebody who was admired and had the appearance of integrity. It is my opinion…and my OPINION ONLY…I am not stating this as a FACT…that after JFK the media stepped back and removed their “kids gloves” when it came to reporting on the presidency. Vietnam and Watergate became stories which showed big media that it was now acceptable to the public to report stories which showed the president in an unfavorable light. Every president since then has had to endure an increasingly harsh media spotlight, which has removed layer after layer of “mystique” from the office of president. I would bet that if JFK was president today, he’d be characterized as a crippled, lying, skirt chasing Massachusetts Liberal, not the iconic demi-god the 60 generation has romanticized him into. Nobody could withstand that level of negative press, not JFK, not Nixon, and not GWB. 2) The Internet and 24 Hour News It’s my honest opinion that there is too much damn news today. You can turn on any channel, and find out where the president had breakfast for gawd’s sake. With the increased technology of digital radio, the AM stations were forced to change formats to survive, and the answer was politics. 24 hour a day cable news, and now…TALK RADIO, and plenty of it. Do the public have a right to know? Sure…and that’s one of the foundations of democracy and freedom, but with increased information and increased scrutiny comes increased negativity. In my opinion, the further we get into the information age, the more every little action of the president is reported upon, and picked apart by any idiot with a keyboard. They can dissect a story, spin it (left OR right) and then post it up in cyberspace for all to see. I’m not saying this is bad…it’s just a fact…but even Reagan and Bush Sr. didn’t have to endure every little thing they did being editorialized by every left or right wing website out there, after being covered by one or two 24 hour news networks. Here’s what I feel is the kicker. Who are the main people that live online? Young people, aged 10-Twentysomething. What political belief system do most people that age subscribe to? Liberalism. Here you have information, constantly flowing, (skewed or unskewed) and it is being received by a demographic that are largely liberal, angry a lot, and starting to develop their own sense of political conscience. Many people have heard Churchill’s old saying that “he who is under 30 and is not a Liberal has no heart and he who is over 30 and not a Conservative has no brain.” The fact is that it’s easy to be Liberal when you’re living at home with mommy and daddy, or away at school. When you get a full time job, start paying taxes, and start to consider the long term ramifications of liberal thought, many change their tune. Many don’t (and those people go to Hollywood where you can afford to be liberal.) I am not saying that there is anything wrong with being young, and liberal, ( I was once both myself) but I am saying that statistically, when many people get older, and enter the work force, they become less idealistic, and abandon liberalism. However in the meantime…it is these angry young liberals who are digesting this constant flow of 24 hour news, and Internet political discourse…and it is these people who then take to the streets in protest. 3) Bill Clinton It is my opinion, that whatever shreds of respect that the general public and the media had for the presidency was destroyed by “Slick Willie.” Now keep in mind…I firmly believe that he was held to a much higher level of scrutiny than his predecessors, but he sure didn’t help himself any. I think if he had been president 20 years earlier, Monicagate would never have broken. But regardless, here we had a guy who was involved in shady land deals, got hummers in the oval office, lied under oath, and as the coup de grace, pardoned all sorts of people who probably didn’t deserve it on his way out of the office, with little or no concern for how it looked. In my opinion, the polarizing effect of the Lewinsky scandal has had a negative effect on the GWB presidency. How many times did we hear the argument that the president’s private life was none of the public’s business…or that he should be allowed to cheat on his wife and lie about it, because that’s what “normal” people would do, and the president should not be held to a higher standard than you or me? I think Bill Clinton’s questionable conduct nailed the final nail into the coffin, closing the door on any possible respect the public ever may have had for the presidency. I knew that whoever followed him, Democrat, or Republican would now have to suffer under even MORE intense scrutiny, and open criticism, and as I said, Willie made it easy for that to happen. 4) Religion GWB is a professing born again Christian, a religious profession that is bound to alienate almost everybody who ISN’T a born again Christian. Christianity is not one of those religions where people sit around in circles, hold hands and hum in order to gain a higher level of consciousness. In Christianity, if you don’t believe what they believe…you go to hell. If you don’t do what they feel the bible says…you’re a sinner. People can handle their president getting a polish from a fat chick…what they don’t like is their president subscribing to a belief system that automatically condemns many of them to an eternity of fire if they don’t agree. So, I basically feel that it’s not so much GWB…I think that whoever would have been president right now, be it Republican or Democrat would be under a microscope that few other presidents have been…and those that have such as Clinton have not done well, and set the bar even lower. Combine that with a value system that by it’s nature alienates people…and you got yourself an unpopular president…but we’ll find out in November how unpopular he really was. That’s just my opinion Loss. Feel free to disagree. - Dave

Correct. That post you just wrote is an excellent argument against it. Anything that encourages people like you, to think like that, should not be made readily available to the public.

The best argument against legalizing marijuana is the people who are all for legalizing marijuana. If it becomes legal…there will most likely be MORE of these people around.
