Basskisser,
What is wrong with you boy, is your FAS acting up again? "basskisser" wrote in message om... "jim--" wrote in message ... "basskisser" wrote in message om... "NOYB" wrote in message link.net... "Short Wave Sportfishing" wrote in message ... On 30 Aug 2004 07:16:06 -0700, (basskisser) wrote: Short Wave Sportfishing wrote in message . ..

So if I were somebody who could have joined the National Guard to avoid combat status does that make me smart or stupid, brave or cowardly? In the case of GWB, and other well to do people of Texas, in this case, it would make you privledged. What if it were your son and you could get him out of Vietnam this way? One can only hope that basskisser isn't allowed to procreate. If he is, it's just proof that God *does* have a sense of humor. Personal insults just show that you can't disagree with what I've stated. LMAO!!!!!!!!! This coming from the king of personal insults. So, are you trying to say that you DON'T insult others here? Are you also, then, saying that you don't LIE about others here, and spew allegations about others, and present those, no matter how far fetched as truth? Do you need me to give you some examples of any of the above? |

Yep.....typical of the socialist lefties.......they whine about others doing the same thing they do........LMAO too Where did I whine, you ignorant putz? I simply stated a fact. Actually, you never answered the question. To refresh your memory: If you had the opportunity to keep your son out of the active combat military to avoid Vietnam by jumping ahead of others and joining the National Guard, would you? Later, Tom What to **** does THAT question have to do with ME???? Fritz said that I whined. I've never been asked the above question, and therefore have never offered an answer. |

What begins as swearing, quickly progresses to threats about snapping someone's neck or spitting in their face. I find it curious that faced with a nexus of choice which requires critical thinking going well beyond calling Bush a liar or Kerry a fudgepacker or reposting articles to "prove" one point or another logic fails. Of the three people who responded my questions, none actually answered. When faced with a choice that requires an examination of their own decision making as opposed to that they theoretically despise, they fail to make the critical connections - to wit: They would pretty much do the same thing when faced with the same choice. That challenges their own image as self-rightgeous and being "correct". Thus, avoidance. The odd thing is, viewed critically, this election is about which patrician silver spoon scion of a well-to-do family who has benefitted from his family connections his whole life is a better leader. Oddly, they are both Yale graduates, both Bonezers, etc, etc, etc. Oddly, when you examine their potential policies, they are pretty much identical. Oddly, one used a trick out to exit the Guard, the other used a trick out to avoid more than four months of combat. Neither one has a true understanding of what it takes to be a regular American who pays taxes, pays bills, has health care issues, etc. So whats the arguing about. War? War is an existential state of humanity. Every day everyone enters and exits a state of conflict. In some cases it's the killing kind of conflict where soldiers kill people and break stuff. In others it's calling Bush an idiot or Kerry a fudgepacker. In other cases it's flipping the bird to the gal who just cut you off at an intersection. Conflict is conflict. War happens - get over it. Whole societies exist to enact war on each other - it's just the way it is. And with that, I will close my participation in this thread because I don't really care to continue it. It ain't worth it. So, I'm think of buying a '66 Luhrs sport boat for restoration. Any advice? ;) Later, Tom |
