Here we go.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Dang, you beat me to it...

Did Fleischer say "operations have begun," or "war has begun"? I couldn't hear his first sentence.

Don't bungle this one
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Let's just hope it's not as badly continued as Blade II was to Blade I.

Is there any way we can say, 'accidentally' drop one of those MOABs on Enlightenments house? Just wondering, to err is to be human.

Besides, so far, it was only a quick shot at a 'target of opportunity'.

You know if it was Bush Snr I might actually be able to keep a straight face during his little spiel about freedom and the grave threat Iraq poses to the world's only superpower. As it is I burst out laughing at that deer in headlights.
