I Love You Guys

Okay, I'd still buy any one of you a beer. You might have to promise to talk about cars exclusively, but I'd be happy to sit and chat. And some of you seem to me to be way off base, but at least you're thinking and you're brave enough to face the onslaught of public opinion (or at least Pelcan opinion, which is probably worse). The debates we're having here is what makes this country great, and strong, and I wish the entire country were as inclined toward discussing these issues as you guys. So, you get my respect. All of you except Glenn. You know, he once called me an "Independent?" To my face!

What is truly nice is to be able to echange opposing ideas without insults, and to work out the differences and understand the other opinions with respect. We all fail at it sometimes, and often feel so strongly about things that we cannot accept that any body else would not think like us. I suggest, when this happens, to use humor rather than insults. The few right wingers that I truly appreciate are the ones who know to be funny: Tabs, Island, Blue, just to name a few who come to mind. JP is funny too, in a lenghty sort of way...On the left side, they seem to be more relaxed all the time, so speeder, dd74, 350hp930, Superman, nostatic, woodpie...just keep the good work. This off topic section is a nice place that I would miss if it ever disappeared...or if I were to be banned.

Supe, you're the coolest. Can we sing kumbaya now, or do we have to wait until after we roast marshmallows?

Despite the fact that I routinely disagree with you, I think I can agree with this one. Aurel -- I hope you don't get banned -- your posts are always entertaining, especially for the replies.

I concur, JP's writing is both humorous and well-informed. Glenn (Island) always confuses me, though. I can never predict which side he'll fall out on.

Thanks for keeping me on my toes.

oh yea!!!???? i drink budwieser! and i think all microbrews should go away! just kidding, superman.

i learned on this board, that i need to read the paper, and watch the news alot more. i am really behind the times here, and i cant even begin to argue with you guys. YET!

I stay out of the debates because I feel ALL of America's problems are caused by your Jews looking after their brothers in Israel.

And yes, I love you guys too...

Pretty much agree with all you said Sup. although please don't forget that this is an international BB so there are people from all over contributing, making the WORLD (hopefully) a better place.

I also agree totally with unfixed. The characterization of himself is exactly how I feel too. Browsing a lot more than contributing currently.

all this touchy-feely crap is making me turn conservative. Where is my Rush Limbaugh genuine autographed oxycodone-and-pez dispenser? I feel an invasion coming on...

Bill, you really should quit dancing around the edges with your theories and get to the heart of your argument.

Me, not funny ? You`re kidding, right ? It is just that you cannot appreciate my humor yet. Look, there are funny things everywhere. Here is one for instance:

Common man, that`s just too funny !

Ok, I like Bush, but that's pretty d*** funny.

fintstone · fintstone's Garage

Not as funny as this one:

fintstone · fintstone's Garage

Or this:

nostatic · nostatic's Garage

sorry flint, but neither are as funny as the photo...mostly because Rummy and Rush are dead ringers for Moe and Larry.

fintstone · fintstone's Garage

You might be right there...certainly a resemblance...but the two I posted are IMHO a bit more accurate political satire..

nostatic · nostatic's Garage

but satire isn't always funny. Rummy as Moe is funny. Scary funny.

fintstone · fintstone's Garage

When talking political satire...funny depends on which side of the bathroom door you are on.

djmcmath · 04-20-2004, 05:17 AM

Sorry, fint -- you know I agree more with your political leanings, and while yours are definitely (IMHO) more accurate, the three stooges (while wildly inaccurate) is funny as all git-out. I'm still giggling about it, even though I support both Bush and the war. Just goes to show that humor and politics are a silly mix.

Well to be honest I really thought this was my year. I am just grateful to the academy for the nomination and would like to give congrats to the winners, maybe next year

joeclarke · 04-20-2004, 05:58 AM

aw quit yar gripin' lendaddy - I've been pumping out my best bleeding heart crap for months and I don't even hit the academy radar screen!

Man, I've even gone toe-to-toe with JP the odd time!

What's a guy gotta do to get a nomination around here, change my avatar to Mother Theresa?
