Look, i'd be the first guy on the block to buy blitz a beer.. and i'd prolly not be too far back in line when it came time to clock him upside the head with the empty.
yes.. as a venue for the exchange of ideas the o'club can turn into an ugly place... the world is also an ugly place.
i can sit back here on occasion and get plastered and can crank out the emotional word pictures to beat the band. it don't make me a better person than blitz.. just means i'm drunker, or more sober, or am making decisions keyed off of diffrent facts.
it all amounts to opinion.
opinions are like stunninghunks. some smell better than others.
right now, my stinky stunninghunk opinion is that america did the right thing. and i'm being just as much of an stunninghunk about it as i think i can.. under the current terms of venue.
i've had my mind changed a number of times here by a clear presentation of facts that challenge my opinion.. the o'club has certainly it's fair share of debaters that base their opinions on clear concise data with footnotes, links, historical perspective, and rational logic.
but, when i see blitz argue 'amirica is threatend in no way....' after Toad calmly kicks every leg his arguments have out from under him and he still spouts the same convex wrap yer twisted mind around this next slippery non-fact, i get this incredible urge to reverse the tallneck in my hands and get buzy with it.
wallah.. stunninghunk contest.
*sigh*
I'm saving my empties. I migh need 'em. waste not, want not, yah know....
