JohnRich 4 #26 August 12, 2005 QuoteMy opinion of you gets lower and lower with every post. Am I supposed to give a shit? If you choose not to like me because I don't like wasting my time listening to hard-core Amway sales pitches, so be it. But that's about the lamest excuse for not liking someone that I've ever heard of. Oh, and I also hate spam e-mail, junk snail mail, and phone solicitation calls. Whooee! You must really hate me now!

JohnRich 4 #27 August 12, 2005 QuoteQuoteA tip from cabdriver Mike Wagers led police ... So, what color is he? what religion? what are his politics? is he gay? handicapped? bald? How DARE a newspaper make a report about someone without some useless piece of PC information that doesn't add to the content of the story? Excellent point. With the first honest cabbie story, they pointed out that he was Muslim. But with cabbie Mike Wagers, we weren't told anything at all about his religion! Gee, you have to wonder why religion was important in the first story, and irrelevant in the second... He must be one of those goddamned Christians.

No mention of any religious or cultural ties. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to take that seriously given that they were the ones who blew them up to begin with. (Not their fault, of course, since that was their job.) From the Washington Post: ----------------------------------- "The most thoroughly dashed expectation was the ability to build a robust self-sustaining economy. We're nowhere near that. State industries, electricity are all below what they were before we got there," said Wayne White, former head of the State Department's Iraq intelligence team who is now at the Middle East Institute. ---------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to take that seriously given that they were the ones who blew them up to begin with. (Not their fault, of course, since that was their job.) Always with the full court press. Good for you. Don't take a high road. Always find that dig any way you can. ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
