Funked you communist!

[Dowding (Work)]

...seem to be suffering from PMS. Holy cow!

And take a look at your conservative brethren...

I'm not a liberal, I'm a radical communist, BTW. And my initials are PMS, if that's any help.

Because many intelligent people are intellectually lazy. They decide they want to identify with a certain group and then simply regurgitate that particular group’s party line. It provides a sense of identity. A superficial camaraderie with those they admire. An artificial “us vs. them” moral scorecard.

But most of all, it avoids actually having to think.

A man's self-approval in the large concerns of life has its source in the approval of the peoples about him, and not in a searching personal examination of the matter.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Ammo and talk to him at the Con.

First off, you'd never meet a finer gentleman, you can certainly tell he had good parents that spent time with their children. Bright, intelligent, alittle hint of 'mischief' in his eye (a sign of someone thats not above a practical joke, long as no one gets hurt)

Religion was not a topic of conversation as its a private matter with about 90% of those who practice it.  Its the 10% that we see knocking doors, spilling out how much we need Jesus in our lives, etc. Ammo is not that type of person.  He's a regular guy.  

Ammo is physically and mentally the most stable person you'd probably ever meet Weasel and while this won't patch up any wounds between you two, I'd just thought I'd let ya know that hes one of the good guys.

Ammo, after meeting you in person, I'm CERTAINLY glad you're on our side (USA)

...and it seemed like such a good idea, and such an obvious joke I thought we'd get it...

Yikes!

[Lance]

Heh!  This is the best thread ever.

[Creamo]

[Thrawn]

Jesus Rip, did you hold hands while walking along the beach as well?

as it has turned personal

its ok as long as it stays vague or one attacks another party, beliefs or president but threads seem to get locked up pretty quick lately when we get nasty directly on one another - probably  a good thing

weazel.. you are not "radical"  a radical would have at least a new, independent  thought once in a while... he would not spout the party line in a knee jerk manner like you do... you will have to learn to think before you can even become close to "radical"..   Sorta like some professor who passed out pamphlets calling himself a "freedom fighter".

I sat next to Ammo at the AH con...He's a reserved kinda guy(sorta like me),didn't say anything about God until after I shot him and Sancho down to advance to the H2H finals.

[weazel]

You didn't post a mind numbing wall of text about your noodle in this topic.

It was a joke, Kieran called me a radical a few months back.

I know ammos a nice guy.

slips lazs the tongue.

Yea, there is chance in that happening...  I believe in definitive lines, not shades of gray.

I find myself more at odds with this perception of the world than anything else, left or right.

Of course... it always seems that the right has no room in their views or agenda for the gray.

You guys were right, this one is pretty impressive.

[SOB]

Wow, that's grrrreat!
