peacefuljeffrey 0 #1 August 28, 2004 This has seemed to become a common refrain I see in posts that are rife with controversy: "Incredibly, I'm gonna have to say I agree with peacefuljeffrey on this one." "Will wonders never cease? I agree with PJ!" * *(paraphrases similar to actual quotes) I'm thinking that of all the people here with whom one could find oneself agreeing, I am the one that most people find it most surprising to agree with -- and people feel the need to comment on the auspiciousness of any subject on which they agree with my views. It seems to me that I see a lot of that "surprisingly I agree with PJ" kind of comment. How about you? --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Muenkel 0 #4 August 28, 2004 I've always agreed with you on some things. We basically agree on politics, but disagree on religious beliefs. We both agree that Northport and Smithtown are pretty cool towns. And I have to admit, some of your rants completely crack me up. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #5 August 28, 2004 There has been a rare occasion or two where I have surprisingly found myself agreeing with you. But there are a few others I can think of (whose names I won't mention) that I feel the same way about. Though I usually try to refrain from saying things like "Wow, I actually agree with YOU!"

aprilcat 0 #6 August 28, 2004 From the Hotsaucing Thread: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That said, I LOVE fresh ground black pepper at this point, and I have for years. I also love hot-sauce on food. I really dislike the attitude that these means (hot sauce, pepper, a spank or two on the ass) should be taken away from parents as a means of disciplining their children. Without them, you are left to attempt to reason with a child, which is about as effective as trying to train a cat. Let me put it this way: if you could truly reason with a kid who is misbehaving, that would mean that the kid was capable of adult-level cognition -- which would also mean that it was NOT unfair to charge children as adults for serious adult-type crimes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I agree with you on paragraph 2 & 3 that I copied here and yes, I almost fell out of the chair. For the most part, Speakers Corner scares me because people tend to go beserk here. I think the 1st paragraph I copied still qualifies you as a 'whackjob' (your words!!!). Good to know something about you and agree on it.~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimbarry 0 #9 August 29, 2004 probably the only time i disagreed lately was when you spent way too much energy slicing, dicing, and hyperanalyzing a bunch of stoopid american jokes. but all in all, your rants are pretty f'n entertaining. and then, you agreed that my cats are cool. so a few points there. if i get a third cat, hoplophobe is on the short list of names now... hoppy for short, i guess. interesting to see how this poll works out once a decent statistical sample steps up and weighs in. ok, see ya'll later. slipping back into lurkerdom now...

I think, overall, I have more reason to cringe than the religious people... good thing I've embraced the cringe! I'm happy to read that you "like a lot of what I have to say..." though.

People should be allowed to buy a F-16 if they use it for national defense. This has been discussed ad nauseum and your assertions disproven with the use of contemporary writings and opinions of the framers of the Constitution. They wanted the common man armed like an infantryman would be for the time. QuoteQuoteare anti-abortion rights Rights?! Wrong! Killing your baby because it is inconvenient is just plain evil! I'm closer to feeling this way than I ever was before, but I realize that prohibiting it will never stop it, just make it unsafe for the woman. So what's the point? QuoteQuoteare pro-"war-on-drugs" (anti-legalization) Drugs are bad and must be illegal. It is the government's responsiblity to protect its citizens. Weed is cool though, but legal I dunno. It's absurd for you to support doing it but also support it not being legal. You're arguing what, that it should be okay for you to do it but not okay to do it? If you think it's not a bad or evil or harmful thing to do, you should not be hypocritical and say that for the general population, it should remain illegal. What harm would come of legalization? Do you think that, as easy as pot is to get, that there are loads of potheads-in-waiting who don't do it currently, because it's illegal? I don't believe that more than maybe ten people in the whole country are eager to try it but are waiting for the day it becomes legal. QuoteQuotethink the speed limits are reasonable and not just a revenue grab Yes,reasonable and also a source of revenue. That's OK I suppose, then, that you drive 35 where it says 35, because you think it is reasonable, and speeds over that are unreasonable. I guess you drive 55 on 55 highways, and 65 on 65 highways, and no more. If not, you're being hypocritical. And it is NOT "OK" to use the law strictly to make money off those who don't obey it. Speed limits have no legitimate purpose except to limit speeds to that which is safe in general. Uses beyond that are corrupt and illegitimate. QuoteQuotethink Kerry is a wonderful human being Yes, he is a wonderful human being, as long as he doesn't reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. LOL! I guess we agree there.

mr2mk1g 10 #21 September 3, 2004 Yeah we agree on a few things. On religion we're right there. You even shocked me the other week when you replied to one of my posts laughing in agreement with what I wrote - that was on religion... I'm still not sure you realised it was my post. Our biggest differences come in expression... you just gotta calm down man... find that inner peace. On the other hand your rants on here can be a good laugh sometimes - kinda like the comic strip in a newspaper.... buried in all the middle of all the news and world events, there’s a little slice of humour inspired by politics or the like.

miked10270 0 #25 September 5, 2004 Jeffrey has both an opinion and a gob on him! There ARE times I completely agree with him, and there are times when I think he's completely off the mark. There are times I think he loses himself in the minutae of arguments. But (as the saying goes) I would defend to the death his absolute right to voice his opinion. Anyway, he's a Browncoat so he can't be wrong. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.
