I've been working on a pet theory. What if Kerry voters are supporting him simply because they see him as a mendacious person they can rally behind, one who legitimizes them whenever they feel the desire to lie? Sort of like "birds of a feather"? But with Kerry, they believe they'll feel a certain vindication whenever they lie, because if he becomes president, they can feel like they are not the worst liars around, and there's that old, "The president did it, why shouldn't I?" - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

That is AWESOME! I sure hope you get it back! - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

When it comes to Bush, you want him removed from office for making mistakes, and you want to deny him the chance to fix things up and set them right. If this were a rapist or murderer, like Nathaniel Brazill who murdered his teacher here in Florida a couple years ago, the typical liberal response is, "He made a mistake. We shouldn't lock him away for the rest of his life. He could still become a productive member of society. We should give him another chance." So how about it? The Liberal Second Chance. I think Bush deserves one. Don't you? It's only fair. He can still be a productive member of society. Let's not just waste the rest of his life. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Dang dude ... Iraqis are not free. They're just living under a different dictator (GWB) that's all. Oh, puhlease. This kind of hyperbolic pap earns you no respect for this view. Likening Bush to Hussein? How can you expect to be taken seriously? Are the Olympic team members now being tortured for failing to win Gold? (They were under that psychopath Hussein.) Are civilians being gassed? (The were under that psychopath Hussein.) The sick thing about this article, and the views of the soccer players (yeah, they're about as useful for understanding the political climate there as asking Susan Sarandon what she thinks of it) is that at the same time as they're happy to be free of Uday Hussein and the steel eye-spiking boxes that he put on their heads, they don't like what Bush did in Iraq. Funny, if he didn't do what he did, they would be stuck with the torture. And one guy's buddies and such got killed while fighting as insurgents? Well, gee, if you weren't fighting the people who just freed you from your tyrant, you wouldn't get killed now, would you? If they're fighting the liberators, doesn't that mean they preferred the dictator? WTF? - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Technically, the avatar pic is not linked to a 24 hour webcam, so just because it is not dressed up doesn't mean the actual bear is not sitting in the office dressed like Minnie Pearl as we speak. We just need an updated pic. Kev, can you fit your rig on the bear? - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I can't understand why you're still phrasing this question in terms of "need," given that it is not based on need that we have a right to own these things. Besides, you answered your own question. The watermelon thing may be quite fun, and maybe that's all the reason someone has for wanting a bayonet attachment on his rifle. The more you question the desire for a bayonetted rifle, the more you sound like you fancy yourself the arbiter of what we should or shouldn't be allowed to have, i.e. why should we have it, if YOU don't see the "need for it? - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Ann Coulter tells liberal lies? I remain skeptical. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Oh, let me see, if Bush had attacked any or all of these counries, Democrats would have supported him, because it would have meant he was going after the terrorists in earnest? Yeah, right. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Bah. Trash. Jim Exactly. If you'd read further, you would have seen this: "Rumor has it that prostitutes suffering from sexually transmitted diseases will discourage the use of condoms with Republican customers." Apparently, diseased prostitutes tend to be Democrat sympathizers as well. Not that I didn't already suspect... - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

So just so we are in the same book here. . . You are for violence to prove a point, yet, not when it doesn't agree with your political views. Maybe he's been reading the PETA website... Maybe he's been taking notes while watching "Rosie." - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

That's a pretty ridiculous notion. It quite boils down to "two wrongs make a right." Is that the new Democrat protesters' slogan? Let's smash shop windows to demonstrate against the evils of war. Let's attack the police who are trying to keep the peace as a show of opposition to U.S. action in Iraq. Who knows, maybe a demonstration of lack of self-control, and hypocrisy, is warranted? - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I don't see how a court can compel you to provide blood evidence against yourself any more than it can compel you to testify against yourself. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't like the idea of a judge being able to order you to surrender evidence from your own body. That should be sacrosanct. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

That's not just in Cali... a lot of states have similar provisions... it is something you consent to for having the priviledge of getting a driver's license. Failing the stupid human tricks equals probable cause for the courts. J Well, I think that the concept is, if you get stopped for suspicion of DUI, you can either give them the evidence (blood, breath, failed FST, etc.) that WILL convict you, or you can refuse to give that evidence, in which case they will use the observed behavior (slurred speech, cops' observation of weaving, difficulty standing, odor of alcohol, etc.) to obtain a conviction. That might make it more difficult for the prosecution of DUI. In NY, I remember, refusal to take a sobriety test was grounds for revocation of your driver's license -- it did not mean you were automatically charged with nor convicted of DUI (well, they call it DeeWee, there: DWI). Having a driver's license is conditional on agreeing to be subject to sobriety tests, and you stipulate when you accept the license that you will surrender it if you refuse a field sobriety test. NOTE: I have read numerous news stories about public officials -- cops, prosecutors, congressmen, etc. who consistently refuse to take the tests. If I were ever to be so stupid as to drive drunk, and get caught, you can bet I would take a cue from these people and refuse the test. Far easier to do without a license, or get the license restored, than to do a few months or years in jail for DUI, plus paying fines and a lawyer. I think that the news stories about these "folks in the know" are guiding us, here. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I don't know where I stand on this case. Do condemned prisoners have to give their permission for the lethal injection before they can be put to death? I believe that the law provides for the TAKING of blood in certain circumstances. An arrest for murder combined with a suspicion of being under the influence of intoxicating substances may well mean that the doctor was really not required to have patient permission for drawing blood -- I don't really know. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

WHAT!!!!!! My whole image of you is now blown. Fuckin-A, I'll bet crazyIvan isn't really crazy! And skybytch isn't really a bitch either.

I have not made posts that compare to mrwhatever's crap, cited here. And to be frank, I don't give a flying fuck what you think of me. If you want to join him and push the envelope of personal attacks, and risk getting banned, go right ahead. I may get confrontational in my opinionated posts, but I do not engage in the kind of ignorant personal attacks that mrwhatever tried so thinly to veil. If I made a post that said, "I know I could never make a post about So-and-so polling readers as to whether he is an ignorant shit-brained jerkoff or a moronic dick-nosed asshead or otherwise, so I'll just conjecture here about what some of the responses might have been if I could post such a poll," I'd rightly be called for making an insulting personal attack. Where the fuck does your confusing come from? - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Yeah, right, cite an actual joke to defend your malicious swipe at me. Gimme a fucking break. Skyrad was actually funny. You, you're just belligerent. The sick thing is, you think I am. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Its done good things for the 23 states that have CCW laws on the books thus far, surprising the bleeding heart liberals aka anti-gun rights folks. Dude, the NRA counts it as like 36 states, I thought. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

All law abiding persons with a license to carry concealed firearms will strip themselves of the firearms whenever they enter into bars, if it illegal to do so. If they do not, when the law requires it, they are not law abiding and should not be licensed. FallRate I don't agree with this assessment, because I don't think a person who harmlessly goes into a bar -- let's say he's throwing darts with friends and is their designated driver, so he imbibes zero alcohol -- is "criminal" for carrying his licensed handgun even if it is against the "law" to do so. I draw significant distinctions between those who carry somewhat outside of what the permit allows but DO NO HARM to anyone, and INTEND NO HARM to anyone, and those who carry because they're looking for trouble. The ones who are looking for trouble are generally going to be found to be carrying without a permit, anyway. If a law was passed tomorrow that made it illegal to blink your eyes, you could truthfully call all of us criminals unworthy of having eyelids. That wouldn't necessarily make us bad people. Put a nonsensical legal impediment between people and their harmless behavior (carrying a gun is not intrinsically bad behavior) and you don't necessarily prove that they are bad or unworthy people. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

From a girl who's literature major in graduate school was a concentration on erotica, I think it is way cool. Porn isn't bad; porn is a phenomena in human psyche and can abet a lot of fun. (((I expect to be made fun of since I have let out that I actually studied this in college. My friends who know this about me tell others that I got a degree in porn. Not necessarily true, but funny just the same.))) Hey, let's discuss Story of O!!

Does anybody believe that bar patrons who have license to carry concealed firearms strip themselves of them whenever they go into bars currently? All the law will be doing is legalizing what is probably done all the time now without incident. I find it odd that you say, "Talk about the Wild Wild West." Concealed carry was predicted by anti-gun fearmongers to result in "blood running in the streets" and that hasn't come anywhere near close to materializing, much as the anti-gunners were wishing it would so they could push their gun-ban agenda. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...
