You want to know what today's United States is like? Read this forum. You'll get a better understanding just reading the disparate points of view, whether it be a two word epithet from harryj, a 3 paragraph rant from Doctor Gonzo, or a 10,000 word manifesto from jacko.
The Inmates are running this Asylum, and in retrospect, its turning out to be a good thing. Who better to run this forum than We, the People who put our time and energy into it. Let me say that again. We, the People.
Rock On!
With the provider ad popping up on this board, do you think its time to get a moderator for this board?
I haven't posted a lot here as many of the regulars but I always try to keep track of whats happening on this board.
Case and point the Atlanta board recently got a moderator and now the board has turned from one of the most disruptive boards into a very civil board.
Plus getting a moderator may ensures most topics on here will actually be about Politics and Religion. Also, probably more civil discussions of topics would take place.
I choose the latter! I can't get enough of this ADHD debate. Well, at least when I'm not distracted.
Let the loons rant, it is hilarious and at times pityful. I can only hope they are not registered to vote and or stay home next 11/08.
and besides how do you suppose we got the poor choices we have.... ! you think that rational, well educated, hardworking folks would really vote for the garbage that passes for leadership in the political parties? sheese!
But we're not just going to take your word. We want security. Like first & last month. $40 deposit will do it, I guess.
trying to tell us what to do? Just ONE misplaced post and you think the sky is falling, what a numbskull you are. How often do you show up around here anyway? What gives you the right? I bet you really have dozens of aliases here and are really a huge troublemaker.
Oh wait!!! I'm still wearing my old uncivil P&R hat. I apologize.
Now just where did I put that new "Hat of Civility"?
**searching all over computer**
I proposed for this board to have a moderator for people like you. If people like yourself conducted themselves in a more civil and professional manner there would be no need for a moderator.
Since when do I need permission to post. Everyoneone is allowed to post on the Politcs and Relgion board as long as there not posting an ad. This board needs fresh ideas and thoughts. People on this board are tired of the old adventures of BizzaroSuperdude and jack0.
Throughout this thread there has been not one counter proposal that has out flanked my opinion. Do you people think I made this post without the ability to take the bow and arrow you sling at me, to the contrary.
Only the best survive this board.
shaka
is a SENSE OF HUMOR! ! ! Lighten up. YOU won't survive here without one.
Or maybe I need a refresher at comedian's school. I WAS tired on the day we covered SARCASM! ! !
**scratches head**
You are the one that used the word numbskull.
I haven't used any profane language to anyone on this board.
Look at several of my posts and you will see a lot of humor.
If you have to explain the joke, it ain't funny.
It was clear to everyone but you that I was being satirical. I called you a numbskull and then THREE seconds later I APOLOGIZED. IF you actually spent time around here you would know that I don't usually call people names.
You're right. You don't need to work on getting a sense of humor (that's impossible). You need to work on getting thicker skin.
guess you can go sell oranges on the on-ramp.
Let the naive and inattentive erroneously post their promotions and shills here. Then let the resident purveyors of political incivility rip the flesh from their bones in acrid, sardonic vitriol. This is a political board where gatekeepers of decorum need not bear their personal bon ton which ultimately stifles the free flow of pontificating, bellicose banter.
sez: Your manners aren't good enough, young man. You shouldn't be saying things I might not like.
So here's the deal: You get to worry if what you say is mannerly enough. Then I make you say it. You have to keep up. You must read every post and answer it quickly, because I tire rapidly.
If you are not mannerly, or lack substance, or get a poor grade, I will send you to the corner. Then you can come back later and see if you can be a good boy, and then we will try it again.
Now, get your good manners out!
sez: "Oh, you HORRIBLE young man! I'm so shocked and devastated! Will nobody rescue me from these shocking heathen and their BAD WORDS, horribly UNUSUAL thoughts and carnal DESIRES? Where are my White Knights? Oh, woe is me!!"
that whole MPD thing.
who would the accuser be.... oh well - as others have said... tis amusing.
are YOU?
Bouncing in here to announce that we need to be civilized?
Just a little too fucking handy for you people who can't cope, I think, having somebody to announce who's right and who's wrong. Especially somebody like you, a fucking whiney-assed noobie.
Our esteemed Vice President has some words for you: GO FUCK YOURSELF!!
this guy's off to a bad start...lol

I have generated a more important discussion in this one thread than the both of you have in the past month.
Billkile this is a quote from your pal Dr. Gonzo:
"ATTENTION BILLKILE! YOU'VE FALLEN BEHIND! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
How is that for a Start.

Find your fucking spell-checker!!
You actually picked that alias by yourself.
You need to do better next time.

This is a New Era and its going to be great.
I stay out of most posts.... I've my hot buttons.. of which Jack0 and all his little alises are well aware. But that does not mean that others do not set off their own little verbal Armageddons, as we can see from HarryJ's, Billkile, JeramyBender, MSD, XL1, Stamina4hours or a host of others...
Currently I am the traget... or a target.. why?
I suspect that it has more to do with the numbers below than anything else... Bagman or Zinaval may pop up to be his next victem... but what would that matter.... so long as one is able to demo his opinion and knowledge, but what if it is a 13 yr old jr. hi dude with access to great data bases! could be - what then?

Bizzy, Jack0's a real guy, an adult even, but I doubt that he's pester-posting you because you're nipping at his heels. You're over 300 behind, and i doubt that you can tear yourself away from the stippers long enough to catch up. [Better still, WHY would you want to?]
I think you should take it as a backhanded compliment.
I am enjoying some of the aliases which I assume to be his. Lurking has it's benefits.

Rock On!
if someone disagrees with me politically I usually go to that neutral place... if I express my views to openly they tend to offend someone - either on the right or the left - depending on the issue... clearly we are a nation with a lotta opinions... sheese.
"to the ultra-conservative single-issues perspective"
When are THEY gonna show up? What did I miss?
together with his self-improvement programs & cheesy jpg.
May I have a 2nd?
I relish my mindless bile....
So what'chu talking about.
