I'M MAD AS HELL!angry_smile

I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth; banks are going bust; shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter; punks are running wild in the street, and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it.

We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. And we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be!

We all know things are bad -- worse than bad -- they're crazy.

It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out any more. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials, and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone."

Well, I'm not going to leave you alone.

I want you to get mad!

ng is an idiot. The latest in the long line of idiots who have infected this board with sheer stupidity and lowered the bar for everyone else.

Every minute you spend reading his offal is a minute of your life you will never get back.

If mrng is tj, that's pretty fucked up; if not, that's REALLY fucked up.

Mrnogood & Robertini are both retarded paranoid schizophrenics. A match made in heaven, as they
hold hands awaiting "the coming rapture".

is behind the alias of Mr. NG?????

Does it really matter that much???

Stop reading Mr. NG stuff and maybe you won't be so concerned. Hell, I stopped reading your ridiculous OT posts months ago.  And life if much better now!!!!

And it is very clear that you are infatuated with TJ as well.  C'mon, you know you miss her . . . . .

And you think you do? You're just as big a thread hijacking ASSCLOWN as anyone on this board.

You think you're better than the Holier-Than-Thou Smug-Ass Conservatives but you're not. You are just as guilty as mng and the rest of the unwashed idiots of spreading swill and stupidity and disguising it as righteous indignation. Shut the fuck up and pay REAL attention to what's happening in the world.

Pissing contests in subthreads like this one having nothing to do with the original comments serve no purpose but feed the impression you're all ignorant as Fuck. your Kool-Aid doesn't taste any better than theirs does.

Stop worrying about the size of your dick on this forum and go find a hooker to tell you "Oh Willy!!! you're so BIIIIGGG!" Maybe you can believe that lie as well.

I'm MaD as HeLL!

Why? Because this guy is calling all the shots.
Speaking of shots, where's the Ecumenical Liberation Army when you need them?

He was a leftist & he'd be spinning in his grave the way a right wing jerk like you "stole" his charcter.

This is the SECOND time this tiresome "corprotocracy video" has surfaced. I can tell you this; Paddy's diet did not include what is shown on the pic below.

Lastly, if you're gonna throw bullshit "leftist racist" insult at me, keep in mind that leftist poster Zorff, who is black, also called me a "racist", which should negate any cheap shots coming from your pathetic, corporate bought, honky ass.

Speaking of clueless narcisstics, here you are, with no knowledge whatsoever about who this is, and what my agenda is, posting only so you can see your name in print.

Pri, in the past, you've called me a lefty, a righty, an anti-Semite AND written to me extolling how much our viewpoints have in common.

It's why they're called aliases, you hump.

Now, considering the post to which you commented wasn't even directed at you, how is it you find it necessary to respond when you would have been better left not saying anything.

Oh yeah, I forgot, Wednesday is when you channel MP67, another self-serving fool-on-a-stick.

I'm MaD As HeLL, and Paddy Chayefsky IS rolling in his grave after reading all the nonsense you post in this forum disguised as relevant commentary.

Stop taking yourself so seriously, go fuck a hooker, and write about THAT! Ir's all just a fantasy anyway, right?

PS - Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

or the Captain of the Starship Enterprise, try not to end your sentences with "up."


    I think you owe Strunk and White an apology.

the subject heading is an example of colloquial writing, which you can shove up your Strunk & White------;)

“The breezy style is often the work of an egocentric, the person who imagines that everything that pops into his head is of general interest and that uninhibited prose creates high spirits and carries the day.”
…

     “The author in this case has managed…to commit most of the unpardonable sins: he obviously has nothing to say, he is showing off and directing the attention of the reader to himself, he is using slang with neither provocation nor ingenuity…he is tasteless, humorous (though full of fun) [editor’s note – I think they meant “it”]” dull, and empty.”

Strunk and White, The Elements of Style page 73-74 (3d ed).

    Damn- do these guys know you?
