Of course I've said something that rude. I've said a lot worse. And I have even had to cash with my ass the check that I wrote with my mouth as a result of it sometimes. However I can say that I have always at least attempted not to resort to so insulting a tone with my first reply -- and that even...

I didn't try and fail idiot. I was asked to provide quotes from the other side. I did. You then declared that wasn't enough. Sorry, I met the criteria specified. The criteria was for an extremist, little one. Once again: Being an asshole doesn't make you an extremist. Try again, fucktard. I hate to...

Come off it. You know as well as I do that in face to face contact people still express opinions, still get into arguments, still have disagreements, etc. However, when they face each other, they tend to argue at least a little more respectfully. And quite frankly, I would have said the same thing ...

So called it. Welcome to the Right Wing View Of The World: Your political extremism is not based on actual political views, just on whether they speak out vehemently. And Welcome to the Moving the Goalposts debating tactic, where I am challenged with (and I quote) "And while direct quotes have...

\ Oh my god, did you really just half-assedly threaten someone over the Internets? You, sir, fail at life. :lol: No, I didn't. I merely point out the cowardice of goading someone, when protected by distance, in a way that you would never do when standing face to face with that person. People find i...

So Tom Delay is an extremist for saying the things he's said, but Howard Dean is not for saying: "I hate Republicans and everything they stand for"? So called it. Welcome to the Right Wing View Of The World: Your political extremism is not based on actual political views, just on whether ...

What is it then, if not cowardice, if you allow yourself excesses of behavior when it is safe, that you do not allow yourself when there may be immediate consequences? I merely point this out, and I'm supposed to be the one who's acting uncivilized? How can anyone be expected to read this and not s...

The Democratic party voted overwhelmingly to give the President unilateral authority to declare war on whomever he wanted. The last Democratic president brought in the DOMA, NAFTA, and social spending cutbacks. Only in fringe-nut land could the Democratic party be considered radical leftists, but o...

Go fuck yourself you arrogant goddamn asshole son of a bitch. It's so easy, so safe to goad people when you are thousands of miles away and safe from any consequences. Oh my god, did you really just half-assedly threaten someone over the Internets? You, sir, fail at life. :lol: No, I didn't. I mere...

Point out a radical leftist who doesn't vote democrat across the board in every single election, and maybe then I will concede that that type of person doesn't find a home in the Democratic party. The Green party. Point, set, match. Sorry. Not quite. I concede you make a valid point, but this is no...

he certainly doesn't deserve to be the fucking majority leader! He's not, anymore. No, but the fact that he was ever allowed to hold that position in the first place tells you a lot about the Republican Party. It is the party of extreme right-wing religious fanatic assholes, and all of the Republit...

I'm surprised the B-24 wasn't on there. Sure, it could be a bitch to fly, but it was more numerous and dropped more tonnage than the Fortress, was equivalent in speed and much longer-ranged, plus carried one ton more bombs than the Fort, with a comparable ceiling. The poll seems to be more based on...

The only thing it was better at was payload. The B-17 was built stronger, had far better armor and armor (note the lack of belly guns on the Lancaster, making upward firing guns on Luftwaffer night fighters highly effective) and it flew at 35,000 rather then about 22,000 feet on its missions. Altit...

Protester Sheehan Presses Clinton To Withdraw Support for War Visiting New York City for the first time since leaving her campsite outside President Bush's vacation ranch in Crawford, Texas, Ms. Sheehan told a packed audience in a Brooklyn church that Mrs. Clinton "knows the war is a lie"...

I also like how they showed Caesar's epilepsy, and the pains he takes to conceal it from becoming generally known. From what I have seen so far, the writer's have done their research pretty well. Allowing for the usual dramatic license, and for minor inaccuracies like reducing Pullo's rank, and expa...

Interesting historical note: I was leafing through my copy of The Gallic Wars, by Caesar, when in Book 5, I came upon something odd. In section 44, there is an account of two soldiers, Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo, who were forever attempting to best the other in deeds of bravery and constantly a...

Perinquus just a wee question, have you ever seen an Orange Parade beyond the snippits of the worst parts on the news? When parading in catholic areas Loyalist Flute bands and forbidden from playing any offensive tunes, they are restricted to playing hymns only and a ruling was recently taken that ...

<snip unnecessary & partial, potted History of Ireland> I’m well aware of the History of Britians involvement in Ireland, a subject I elected to take a few modules on when I did my A’Levels, you can rant about the evils of British rule in Ireland & introduce all the red herrings you like, t...

Your ignorance is astounding. The most recent places where marches have become rerouted only became Catholic Nationalist areas in the late 70's/early 80's, the people who did live in the area where forced out at gun point or by threats of violence against their women and children. Ghetto Edit. And ...

Kung Fu can solve all the world's problems.

But let's not forget, in the Cantonese dialect spoken by Bruce Lee, it is Gung Fu, and that's how he always referred to it.

Ditto for the Omaha Beach invasion from "Saving Private Ryan". I also love the scene from "Miller's Crossing" where Irish mob boss Leo O'Bannion, played by Albert Finney, gets the upper hand on two Italian mobsters sent by a rival boss to assassinate him, subsequently taking one ...

Well, as curious as this is, Lee himself, would no doubt be pleased. He seems to have been a genuine egalitarian. At a time when a great many people in the Asian martial arts community were dead set against teaching those arts to non-Asians, Lee defied tradition by teaching anyone who came to him th...
