How come Republicans hide being gay?

Why is it that when I read Jharris' mails I always picture myself an Alex Keaton from family ties.....
Relax Bro'( ). .

That is so funny I was just thinking that after reading Wasabi's posts he reminded me of Larry Finkelstein from Dharma and Greg

Dang,

I don't think I ever watched a single episode of Dharma and Greg. Sit-coms are not really my bag. Was Larry a sexually confused immigrant?

ha ha, good old Larry, yeah I see your point. Wasabi you should watch it though, it's quiet funny.
You let yourself get drawn to deep in what was supposed to be a relaxed discussion, time now to let it go, and it ends as it was supposed to end, no losers and no winners.

Last words though(can't help myself, I'm Dutch), the person who deserves presidency most is the person who had enough back bone to stand up against Bush's ridiculous plans to invade Iraq. The one person who wouldn't let himself get bullied in participating in this wasteful war. A person who didn't change his/her diet from French to Freedom. A person who doesn't need to score points by rushing the troops back home in a hurry.. Find yourself that person whether he/she is democrat or republican and there you have yourself a respectable president.
Oh and if you still think the war in Iraq was　justified then you're either a brainwashed monkey or an Alex Keaton

Ok... I moved the thread to "Chit-Chat" so anyone wishing to read about VX subjects wont be suckered in to this one.

I love a good forum for discussion but this is getting Jerry Springerish. It happens every couple of years and no one wins in these discussions - everyone gets bloody, except for the few that come in just to flame things up and watch the melee (you know who you are ), and someone inevitably leaves the membership. Not that my opinion matters but if you continue flinging those chairs try not to aim for the head...

You can still catch in reruns. But no Larry was not sexually confused. He was confused about everything else. He was a balding pony tailed drug burn out from the sixties who thought the moon landing never took place. And like most rabid liberals thought people with stuff should be willing to share everything with those that did not. He of course had nothing to share.

Well that's an interesting way to describe me.
But the truth is I still have almost all my hair and I only caught the tail end of the Sixties, and was more interested in breast feeding at that time than experimental drug use.
I don't consider myself a rabid liberal. I own a small business and close to a million dollars worth of property in one of the most sought after, expensive towns, in one of the most sought after , expensive states in the country.
All things considered I should be a republican.
Because I am one of those white guys with a dedicated home theater in his home, a full bar, a swimming pool, employees, kids, taxes, you name it...
But since I was a kid I have always had an interest in politics.I have always been a bit of a news junkie as well.
And in my humble opinion the Republican party has always been shady and underhanded. Starting with Watergate, Iran-Contra,"the axis of evil" the war on drugs,"Read my lips, no new taxes", Blow Job impeachments,and of course the ßull**** blood for oil war we let ourselves get suckered into.
But like I said before, I voted in our Republican Govenator and think he is doing a great job. He can actually string a cohesive sentence together in his thick Austrian accent better than some other elected officials I know who were born and educated in this country.
Sorry, George Bush is an Idiot and it is obvious to all he is in way over his head.
Sept 11 is coming up. Do you all remember the look on GWB's face when he was told the nation is under attack? Instead of jumping up and springing into action, He sat frozen their like a deer in the headlights, and remained motionless for like 10 minutes waiting for his pants to dry. I think even Dan Quaile could have handled that one better.
Oh well, it is time for me to go drop some acid and start a website on how the moon landing was staged.

Peace.

Well said David (IndianaVX).

Wasabi, seriously did you really think this was not going to cause this kind of outcome?

I have noticed that your only numbers or facts were the ones you copied and pasted. Your own thoughts and knowledge were mere finger pointing and name calling.

Some background on me. I am politically charged. My father was state rep. in the 80's and early 90's, served as city and county judge... I have had many political science courses in the past and present. I am a member of the nation young republicans (ages 18-40). The list goes on...

Other than this forum I also visit a local and national political forum where I spend my time discussing such topics. If you like I could copy and past my statements on here from that forum. But I have yet to do so becuase for some reason this topic seems out of place and a waste of my time to discuss in two places. I could only imagine what it would be like for a member to ask how to change the oil in his camry on the political forum. Granted, this is an open forum with no guidelines so I accept. However I will advise that if you do have questions and political concerns please visit a poltical forum either national or local, and or seek guideance by taking a course at a local community college. There is alot to be learned.

I at this point stand by the fact that this is waste of time and effort to debate on here becuase you (Wasabi) will never accept obvious defeat, but will in fact just continue to post replies like your past ones. I can only imagine your response. Side note: I think your rant here should cost you at least $20.

Dutchie, welcome back from lurkville. My best friends is German (only referenced since he is not American) and you act just like him. I will tell you the same thing. I do not wish such actions, but I would like to see how your leaders react to a terriost attack of the same nature that was placed on us.
Oh and by the way I picture you as Jonathan Quan "data" from the movie The Goonies.



P.S. I did not use spell checker and do not see the use of it since this is a forum and not a term paper. If you want to be technical, overlook your past posts.

Huh? You would prefer that he make up numbers and facts instead?

That's reprehensible.

What a lot of americans don't understand is that the rest of the world has been dealing with terrorism for centuries. For the most part they've figured out that terrorism is a crime, not a war. Our country's naivete is no excuse for reacting in such a poorly conceived fashion. Do we not fashion ourselves the greatest nation? Shouldn't that mean we have a responsibility to behave that way too? Doesn't that mean our leaders have a duty to lead responsibly rather then fuel the fires of fear and reactionism?

Attempting to justify such poor governance by claiming another country would do the same is absolutely beneath us. Are we leaders or are we followers?

You just will neverstand will you. I never denied the fact that other countries deal with terrorism. It is obivious that they do. But thanks for trying to make it sound like I have no clue. My statement was obviously pointing to the fact that when a nation is victim to such an act they will become a follower of thee. So I ask you this. If you were in office, what would your exact actions be? And please refrain from posting. " I certainly would not do this and that. Stuff that W has done." Really I am interested in the direction you would have taken our country if you were the leader. Take your time and think about it, dont just post a ignorant reply within 10 minutes.

...spell check was not used.

[JHarris1385]

Wasabi. Not sure if you have heard of them or what your taste in music is. But on a lighter note you should buy/download/borrow NoFX's cd "War on Errorism" It is a good listen and you would like the content.

...No harm intended in this message.

YMy statement was obviously pointing to the fact that when a nation is victim to such an act they will become a follower of thee.

I do not understand what you mean by "will become a follower of thee." Other countries have been dealing with terrorism for generations and have not gone out and started unprovoked wars in response.

If you were in office, what would your exact actions be?

1) Investment in infrastructure. Instead of ridiculous spending on "anti-terrorism" I would have ear-marked money for first responders like paramedics, police, fire-fighters and hospitals. Money for cities to develop emergency contingency plans. Investment in the kind of things that help with any sort of disaster be it man-made terrorism, man-made accidents or natural disasters.

2) Investment in people. Instead of funding the military-industrial complex to kill thousands of innocents and thus create more terrorists I would have invested in aid to the areas where terrorists find support. The invasion of afghanistan was a great start, get involved with the locals and give them good reason support us and not our enemies. The problem is we did not follow through. After accomplishing the headline news objective of toppling the taliban we bailed out. Leaving them to deal with a power vacuum of our own creation.

Iran was doing pretty well compared to previous decades, Khatami needed more support. Instead, the invasion of Iraq polarized opinion against the US and thus him and now the country has taken a major step backwards under Ahmadinejad.
