I normally go out of my way to coach my comments to even those I violently disagree with in a non-confrontational way, and with a degree of respect I believe human beings deserve. So please take this in the spirit it is intended...
Go to hell.

"Anyone who clings to the historically untrue--and thoroughly immoral--doctrine that 'violence never solves anything' I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The Ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more disputes in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms."

"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance for the places they can no longer go. Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying. And in that time when men decide they feel safe and call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentile heroes you left behind."
Major Michael Davis O'Donnell, 1 January 1970. Dak To, Vietnam

And file sharing? Why is it that merely downloading Peer to Peer software now means you're exposing yourself to more backdoor activity than a busty seventeen- year-old-Bangkok-beauty speaking broken English innuendoes at the Corkscrew Club in PatPong? Spyware has your PC being probed more than a blossoming boy-band applicant from some Podunk map dot anywhere west of the Mississippi.

Jimmy cracked corn because it was in his blood. His father cracked corn, as did his grandfather before him. In layman's terms, he was a cracker, descended from a long line of crackers.

The big balls award:
In Uganda, there is a hunter who hunts gorillas. Not to uncommon, you might suppose. Only this guy doesn't kill the gorillas. He just tranquilizes them, then dresses them in clown suits. Several gorillas have been found running around like this, and Ugandan authorities have yet to capture this funny mother****er. I say he has gigantic balls, because I think it's a death sentence to pull this kind of **** in Africa. After all, they kill people for theoretically shrinking noodlees.

The French approach to net-centric warfare favors the concept of "sensor to commander to shooter,” in keeping with the observe-orient-decide-act (OODA) concept developed by the US Air Force strategist Colonel John Boyd long before the emergence of NCW. Humans may fail, of course, in which case the formula may turn into “observe-overreact-destroy-apologize.”

WOMAN: Well, how did you become King, then?
ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake,... [angels sing] ...her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. [singing stops] That is why I am your king!
DENNIS: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
