Big Ol' Smitty

Honkie is racial epithet. Used for white people. It was made popular by a man named George Jefferson in the 1970s. You see he and his wife Weezie had a dry cleaning business, so they moved on up to the East Side. To a DELUXE apartment in the sky. They finally got a piece of the pie.

Youze guys's suggestions to AI have me weak. Please Yahweh let him do some crazy shit like buy a freakin huge suit or a pimp suit or a leisure suit.

Are we teenage valley girls now? Who quoted wikipedia? I disagree. He said it in the very next post (when asked). Plus, it's kind of assumed...that's the whole reason most people that have a problem with the pledge do so. If he had had a problem w/the pledge because he doesn't like America, then I would've said fuck him.

vain 1. Having no real substance, value, or importance; empty; void; worthless; unsatisfying. ``Thy vain excuse.'' ... 2. Destitute of forge or efficacy; effecting no purpose; fruitless; ineffectual; as, vain toil; a vain attempt. ...

So every time time a Christian says the pledge they are "taking the name of God in vain" since it isn't a reference to any "actual" God?

Butwe werent a teenage dumbass about it. Nothing in his initial post belies an overwhelming concern about "Under God" It's rhetorical is more indicative of an attention-whoring 16 year old whose ego isn't in check with reality. That is why Tyler and I deride him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> gWIL: (When Tyler says the pledge has nothing to do w/seperation of church & state) [gWIL checked Indiana legislation to make sure he was acting legally] Yeah, he's a real firebrand, this one. Nothing he has said in this thread indicates that he was seeking attention. He acted totally appropriately.

Tim Duncan is against the dress code. And Stephen Jackson said the no-chain thing was "a racist statement."

Girls Girls Girls is probably my favourite Jay-Z track, for some reason. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I fucking hate when he says "I asked her what tribe she with/red dot or feather?"

I thought you purported to be a libertarian? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It seems like you're taking the statist, anti-civil libertarian side here. I think it's more of a disservice to those who came before to lower your voice and conform to doing something that you don't think is right than to not stand for the pledge.

This sucks. I like seeing KG or AI all iced out in post-game interviews. They're gonna go back to coochie cutter shorts and Chuck Taylors next. And only set shots.

White House Watch: Cheney resignation rumors fly Sparked by today's Washington Post story that suggests Vice President Cheney's office is involved in the Plame-CIA spy link investigation, government officials and advisers passed around rumors that the vice president might step aside and that President Bush would elevate Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. "It's certainly an interesting but I still think highly doubtful scenario," said a Bush insider. "And if that should happen," added the official, "there will undoubtedly be those who believe the whole thing was orchestrated – another brilliant Machiavellian move by the VP." Said another Bush associate of the rumor, "Yes. This is not good." The rumor spread so fast that some Republicans by late morning were already drawing up reasons why Rice couldn't get the job or run for president in 2008. "Isn't she pro-choice?" asked a key Senate Republican aide. Many White House insiders, however, said the Post story and reports that the investigation was coming to a close had officials instead more focused on who would be dragged into the affair and if top aides would be indicted and forced to resign. "Folks on the inside and near inside are holding their breath and wondering what's next," said a Bush adviser. But, he added, they aren't focused on the future of the vice president. "Not that, at least not seriously," he said. http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles...8/18whwatch.htm Oh yeah, and it's official... Dick Cheney has actually become the penguin:

Free whitey!

He doesn't believe the pledge should have the phrase "Under God" in it. This is a very common view and one that I personally share (I personally, though, don't care enough or have the balls to do anything about it). He took a reasonable step to protest it. He did nothing wrong and especially did nothing to warrant all of the names that he's been called here. (Whether it really happened or not is irrelevant)

I bet you wish you'd listened to him now, smart guy.

Well I don't believe. Disbelief is the refusal OR reluctance to believe. But I'm neither an atheist nor a wiccan. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're right, I should have said "disbelieve" instead "doesn't believe". (Actually, I don't know if that's right either. There's something here regarding semantics, I don't know) I don't think agnostics suck, though. Atheists are just agnostics who want to be pricks about it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I always thought of atheists as agnostics with balls (Edit: Incandenza already said this). I don't know enough atheists to determine whether they "suck" or not. I do know a lot of theists though...

Awesome thread title.

Or maybe he is just standing up (or, rather, sitting down) for something he believes in (or, in this case, doesn't believe in). GwiL:

Well I don't believe. Disbelief is the refusal OR reluctance to believe. But I'm neither an atheist nor a wiccan.

I thought you purported to be a libertarian?

Hi, agnostic here! *clears throat* Suck my balls.

not so much...

We were all too busy flogging Chinamen & beating up the Irish.

If Bush or any other President had said something similar about a Jewish nominee or a nominee of any non-evangelical religion, for that matter, Dobson & the rest of the American Taliban would raise all sorts of cain.
