Loved your whole post, but the little ditty above is simply perfect. I wish I'd written it.


Perhaps, in another forum, I will

I think pity might be a more appropriate term than hate.

That is not true, surely you forget, Neville Chamberlain, peace in our time

Hitler was just misunderstood, he meant well

Dude, just how bad does your vagina hurt today? You OK? I'm used to Rick, he'd torture me in the blink of an eye if he could, but you're all out today.

Are you OK?



On topic, Bobby Gates pretty much said exactly what I had intended this thread to be about, my mistake for "total lack."

News flash: A few years ago North Korea was a nuclear threat who was supplying terrorist nations like Iran and Syria with nuclear technology. Proven, detailed, not disputable.

Now, North Korea is cooperating with the US and the UN, dismantling some of their nuke plants, has stopped selling nuke technology to terrorists, and is allowing international inspectors in to look around. They are even talknig to South Korea who up until recently they believed they were still at war with.

Last time I checked we hadn't gone to war with them, and they didn't just decide to be nice guys all the sudden.
Only thing left?
