bodypilot90 0 #77 November 18, 2003 QuoteWhat about teamwork? That will get you further than your John Wayne attitude. but you don't cry for help from the gov't you do it alone. QuoteThey did, however, inherit from their parents the money to go to their Ivy League school and start a nice business of their own. Not to say they didn't work, but they did recieve a lot of help. You will find most did it on their own. More Bill Gates, Arnold "the terminator" then people born with a silver spoon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least the foreigners Can copy our morality They can visit but they cannot stay We’ve got the american jesus See him on the interstate We’ve got the american jesus He helped build the President’s estate Bit late reply to this one...but OH MY FRICKIN GOD!!!! If you think this is kickass then take a step back and a look around, a BIG step back and a BIG look around! It's Bad Religion. Look up the lyrics in its entirety and it becomes very obvious they're being sarcastic. As they usually are And, as I said, the US has taken over Kipling's The White Man's Burden from the Brits. It talks about the duties of the good natured imperialist and allege an idealistic sort of superiority - one that also is found in the benign kind of educated American modern day imperialist. Just the use of the word "foreigner" by Americans shows how ethnocentric the American culture is - people seem to forget that they, themselves, are foreigners in the eyes of people from other nations. Yet the word is used, on international forums, as of meaning "non-Americans". Nothing wrong with being ethnocentric, especially if you're also an unilateralist. Personally, I've had it with the lefty/righty crap some people are so incredibly fond of. What is *up* with you people? Do you think you can *categorize* a human being based on what party he belongs to? Are you not aware that attacking a person's background rather than the argument itself is a logical fallacy? Shite - we have *many* parties in this country - and they represent so many different viewpoints it makes it difficult for anyone to simply say lefty/righty and dismiss it on that fallacy. So, lefty/righties. Lay off it for a while. Present your argument logically. Attack an argument, not a person. Substantiate both claims and counterclaims. Remember: the onus of proof rests on the shoulders of the claimaint.

kallend 2,138 #80 November 18, 2003 Quotesame shit over and over. They do not want to believe it. Kind of like trying to teach a pig to sing. Only makes you and the pig mad But we can keep trying to teach them. You, of all people, are the last person to be saying this. How many threads have you started in the last year that turned out to be based on totally bogus "information"? You have shown yourself to be a dupe so often that you have no credibility left.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airtwardo 7 #81 November 18, 2003 Quote However, don't confuse the two points of being a brilliant and successful radio personality with actually being a brilliant and successful thinker. *** Dittos! Nailed that point! I like Rush...but can't understand why people give him the mass blind creditability they do! It's a SHOW with a political theme, and he's an entertainer...
