It's phenomenally short-sighted to think drilling locally is a good idea,
it's not. Given the rapidly declining oil reserves world-wide it's FAR
BETTER to buy oil from overseas NOW and bleed them dry. Sure, you boost
their local economies, but that'll crash and burn HARD once their oil runs
out. By then we'll have engineered our own superior solutions and continue
to march forward.

Well, that would imply that Norway isn't the super deal a few here have
made it out to be.

Ah, no. Better to drain the foreign reserves dry before hitting our own.
We know what we've got here and when the crunch comes it'd be far better to
have our own to fall back on while the rest of the world panics.
OK, as long as we quit making bull**** posts like this:

"Norway has what the sick world needs, a metanoia, a conversion, a
reappraisal of our whole attitude towards life, accompanied by a
fundamental change in the climate in which people and things are
appraised. We need to radically change our culture to reject the
dehumanization of man so implicit in what "drives" our society in this
country today."

As if you had even the slightest idea what I meant.

Not much in the way of intellectual prowess is needed to figure out what
you mean, Harry.


Oh, I dunno. I was intellectual enough to figure out that the Army was a
dumb deal for a career.

No one commented about your prowess. Did you misread that somewhere?

It's certainly a better place to live in than the United States, other
than the climate.

Oh, I dunno. I was intellectual enough to figure out that the

Is the Marines a better choice?



You never know. The Marines might have turned an a**hole like
you into a man.

Harry,
You seem to enjoy throwing barbs at everyone, especially the
military. While the military would not be my choice of a career,
I would never call it a dumb deal for someone else.


As I stated, the Marines might have done you some good, turning
you into a man, instead of the cowardly pussy you are.

Harry,
Let's get together for a beer one day.

Only if you bring a legitimate photo ID that belongs to you.

Of course, I always show people my ID when I meet them for a beer.



In fact, you'd have to send me a scan of it beforehand. I'd want to
check you out on the national crime database.

It sounds like you are being very cowardly.



No, I just think it important the people one meets are who they claim to
be. Since you have claimed so many identities here, it would be prudent
to check you out first.

Harry, have you ever checked the number of different id's you've had here?
There's one guy here that changes his id by the way he puts quotation marks
around his name, and what he puts in parentheses after his name. I don't
know why y'all do that, but it's interesting, don't you think?

BTW, the other guy lies a lot to gain attention too. Strange, don't you
think?

The different IDs I use here? You mean the variations on my actual name
and initials?

You should have stayed in the Army, where thinking was not required.

I am sure many people have found the military to be an excellent
opportunity, and did not view it as a dumb deal. I wonder how the
military stacks up against the "Job Corps" in "provide(ing) unskilled,
undisciplined kids with a few decent life skills and preliminary job
skills so they know the importance of showing up for work on time,
sober, and with an attitude conducive to work."

My extremely uneducated guess is there is no comparison, and the kids
finishing their military training and their tour, far exceed the
capabilities of similar kids finishing a Job Corps program.

Harry is upset because I played with him by following his example of
changing my name from John Smith to J. Smith, to R.J. Smith, to R.J.
Smithers, to Reginald P. Smithers. I was tweaking Harry and his manner
of changing his handle slightly to override kill filters.

I offered to meet Harry for a beer, he obviously is scared and I have no
problem with his cowardly behavior and I really was not surprised.

I am starting up a collection to relocate Harry and his boat(s), all of
them even the imaginary ones, to Norway. Harry if you accept our
contribution to move to Norway you have to stay there for 10 years at a
minimum. And, if you stay the the minimum 10 years you have to return
all of the money with interest.
