and some get off alone in cars, or with rock stars...

I don't need to be criticized for expressing and defending my opinion with a few extra words in my vocabulary. I'm just sadly realizing now that a clear and reasoned debate is less important around here than personal jabs cloaked in supposed humor; I can give it as well as take it, but it's not my idea of a good time. How about you folks go back to high school? I hear there are some more nerds that need to be put in their place, like you did with me.

oh james, so sorry.. I didn't realize how sensitive you were to humor.  But I'm a little perplexed about the not needing to be criticized for expressing and defending your opinion... on reading back most of this thread.. that's exactly what most of the conversations are.  So are you telling me that you can be criticized without humor... but can't take it with humor..??

I just would like to know for future reference.

and BTW.. I don't just get off with rock stars... but they do up the thrill level a great deal..

tough we all disagree on some things, i'm sure that
we can all agree on this: VOTE!. even if you don't feel
that any of the dorks running represent you, you
should still at least vote for perhaps a third party, that
way maybe expanding that enitre idea further to the
mainstream. i really can't stand the people who vote
because they say they don't feel represented. well do
something about it. i'm sure lots of leaders wouldn't
mind if y ou didn't vote. you know what they call those
things where people don't vote. opressive-facist
dictatorships. (go typos) somewhere down the line
people lost their lives just so they could have a say,
and now that we (to somewhat of an extent) have a
voice, i say use it. get out and vote.

Well the latter was obviously addressed at TF so I'll deal with the former.

You have obviously read my most embarrassing moment.,and then took a leap of logic and decided "No way was he with anyone, he must have been alone"...so that was a jab at me. Earlier in this thread you called me uneducated and uninformed. Now you never once put a joking face at it so I'll take it as a serious slam(that's 2 against me)

I said you like to listen to yourself talk(or in this case write)..with a j/k...that's one against you , but only because you defined the humor as a disguised insult. Either way it was the only slam I have ever dealt you.

Now I have complimented you twice on this forum by saying you were articulate and intelligent..and I'll give you another by saying I saw your picture with your pooches and you are a handsome man(that is not a come on so please do not be all homophobic about this)

I have yet to see any compliment coming your way...nor do I expect one either...but since you seem interested in who's slamming who more I am bringing it up.

So lets keep score:

Greg Complimenting James=3

James Complimenting Greg=0

Greg Insulting James=1

James Insulting Greg=2

It seems to me like I'm the one who should have his panties all in a bundle..hmm

....but I don't so lets hug and make out..er..I mean  up...even though you hate my favorite band (Vdgg and the Great One..Peter Hammill)

Must try and keep up-to-date with theses threads! James, where did this come from? No need to highlight our 2 friends dodgy lifestyles just because you cant get through their thick skullsLOL

I've only been on this forum since July so have missed a lot of what "might have gone before" and cant be bothered reading all the way back to January. I myself have tried to point out some glaring holes in some peoples arguments, and add humour but it just doesnt work. As a Brit I find that my attempts at wit and good-natured sarcasm/banter are completely lost on you guys from the "Comedy Third World". Mind you the funniest thing I have read all year is the claim in this thread that Dubya is not a dumb beast! Your fellow country-persons are lovely people and if they dont want to believe that your foremost educational institutions would give Dubya a free ride then that's their perogative.No money or privelage involved.Smile

What next? Corn Circles?Wink

No doubt the Pixie will jump in and tell us that the fact that Corn Circles are created by aliens is incontravertable and is widely predicted in The Bible Code and Nostradamus. Gdub will tell us that it is his inalienable right to believe in Corn Circles and Threefates will enlighten us that she was once ET's Road Manager and he told her that they were encrypted lyrics for Greg Lake's next solo album!

that is definately the funniest thing you have ever written...usually I just don't get that British humor but this is rich

by the way....I believe it is crop circles.....I have listened to Coast to Coast where this is a frequent topic...god I love the wackos on that show.

By the way...what the heck is up with that garbage movie England spat at us..28 Days Later...after I saw that peice of cr## I told the person i was with " Damn Brits trying to be all Hollywood., just stick to music"

and what was up with that ending where they roll out that banner that says  "Hello"....silly

Ah, 28 Days Later erm sorry for that one! Have you noticed that nearly all movies (not just British) that have more than a few British actors in them look naff? I prefer good old Hollywood production values for my quota of gore.

Mind you have you seen The Village? What a load of old twaddle that is!

It definately took a different twist that I am not altogether sure if I liked or disliked..I just left that movie in a hazy puzzlement.

Personally I am looking forward to The Grudge and White Noise this month....can't wait

RUSH: I erred, ladies and gentlemen, there's two papers in Las Vegas. It's the Las Vegas Review Journal is the conservative paper. It's Las Vegas Sun that's run by one of Clinton's buddies. That's the leftist paper out there. The leftist paper has not editorialized in favor of Bush last night so I need to correct that. Telephone number is 800-282-2882. All right. Here's John Kerry last night defending his positions on Iraq.

KERRY: I wasn't misleading when I said he was a threat. Nor because I misleading on the day that the president decided to go to war when I said that he had made a mistake in not building strong alliances and that I would have preferred that he did more diplomacy. I've had one position, one consistent position.

RUSH: Okay. John Kerry said one position, one consistent position. We have put together a montage of John Kerry's different positions on Iraq.

KERRY: Left to his own devices, Saddam Hussein will provoke, misjudge, or stumble into a future of more dangerous confrontation with the civilized world.

KERRY: Yes, I would have voted for the authority.

KERRY: It's the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time.

KERRY: I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein.

KERRY: We have traded a dictator for a chaos that has left America less secure.

KERRY: I'm glad Saddam Hussein is gone and I supported the notion of removing him.

KERRY: Those who believe today that we are not safer with his capture don't have the judgment to be president or the credibility to be elected President of the United States.

KERRY: To abandon our troops and recklessly leave Iraq, that's irresponsible.

DAVID LETTERMAN: If you had been elected to President in 2000, November of 2000, would we be in Iraq now.

KERRY: No.

RUSH: That's John Kerry. If you can detect a consistent position out of any of that, then you're a better person than I, because there isn't a consistent position. He's all over the place, all over Iraq. As he is on so many other things. He really stepped in a number of things last night.

this isn't the kind of leadership I want in the White House

Not a chance.  ET was way to short and not enough hair.  I have my standards!!  And if referring to encrypted lyrics.. that would of been Jon Anderson, not Greg!
