Just an irrational one.

Oh I think he's on a very high plane indeed. Very fucking high.

They voted alright, for Iranian backed warlords, Wheeeeee!

I'd bang her nose crookeder. I loves me some verboten 'tang.

It's the "they voted" part which is more meaningful. They don't want to be part of a united Iraq? They voted for it. Maybe they will again.

When you behave like a fool and talk like a fool, I reserve the right to condescend to you. I prefer posters who are using all three digits of their IQ simultaneously and continuously. Buuut, help and salvation are at hand, in the Zen-like idea that a thing implies its opposite: if you don't like being condescended to (though I can think of one veteran poster who might, though perhaps subconsciously), what do you do? And is there any question as to whether you can do that?

Bruce in particular lacks grounds to say anything my moral plane, what with his altogether undue degree of fascist sympathy -- which he seems to be in denial about. See "Politics ad Absurdam," the last few pages. Quite, as I've said there too, the absurd position for someone of his solid understanding of human rights and liberties to take. He's got some of the fundamentals, but won't apply them to dealing with misgovernance, which is where the crying need is.

Cognitive dissonance is a psychological term describing the uncomfortable tension that may result from having two conflicting thoughts at the same time, or from engaging in behavior that conflicts with one's beliefs, or from experiencing apparently conflicting phenomena.

Cognitive dissonance? Oh that's what's wrong with Bush's face.


I always notice there is something off about it and actually whenever I look at someones photo and they have 'that look' my stomach does a sick turn every time.

Ahhh.....I always thought he was filling a diaper

[edit: replaced nappy with diaper....]

How tiresome it is to abuse the undeserving of abuse.

It clearly pains you to do so... yet, somehow, you carry on.

Me? I suppose you have some examples in mind -- I can't think of anyone undeserving that I would abuse. Not off the top of my head.

Did you not comment "how tiresome it is to abuse the undeserving of abuse" ???

I get it, we stay until they vote for a government we like?

We want you to be independant, but we have these "benchmarks" here that are mandatory.
