Ok, hold onto your seats....I am aslo against a Flag Burning Amendment, even though I belong to almost every veterans organization available. I love our countries commitment to upholding the Free Speech amendment and would voice my opinion when, in any way, that freedom was/is jeapordized. As you all know, I love my country and my flag and agree with Tobiasly that such an amendment as the flag burning would make us no different than those other countries where such things are banned. Let the flag fly, wear it on your back, paint it onto your car, just don't lay it on the ground and walk or urinate on it. Way uncool and really gets my blood boiling. Speaking of our freedom of free speech, didn't congress pass a new law this year that within like 2 to 3 month's of an election that you or I could not go on tv and say anything about one of the candidates, good or bad? Does anyone remember that? if that is not the usurping of free speech, what the hell is? How come the moniker under my name keeps changing? I am getting a complex and have no idea who I am anymore. Thank God it doesn't say Schmuck!

Sarge, the "Custom User Text" there changes every time you write a post, but you can also set it to whatever you want. Hit the "user cp" button at the top of the page, then hit the "edit profile" button on the page that follows. You'll get a page of things you can set up, and the custom user text is about halfway down that page.

(User cp stands for user control panel, but that's not very clear.)

Being a UNIX guy, I <b>still</b> look at that and think "user copy"... that really should be changed. :)

Bigsarge 08-13-2002 11:27 AM

Thanks for the spelling. Unix, is that like a precursor of the unicorn. I thought they where extinct.;)

Tobiasly 08-13-2002 12:41 PM

Lest suspicions arise, I would like to take this opportunity to preemptively point out that Bigsarge and I are not the same person. :) Although I definitely agree with your point on the new soft money bans, and I hope a court strikes them down before long.

How about "my profile" or "my prefs" instead of "user cp" Undertoad? Or, to satisfy dham, "vi ~/.profile" (although he's probably an <B>ed</B> guy).

dave 08-13-2002 01:04 PM

Eh, ed's alright, but I truly do prefer <b>vim</b>.

Soft Money
 
How does the new soft money ban(s) affect the ordinary everyday citizen? You know, sweet understanding guys like me.

Tobiasly 08-13-2002 02:23 PM

I thought the soft money ban is what you were referring to when you stated you couldn't go on TV whenever you wanted and say something about the candidates. If not, what law are you talking about?

Bigsarge 08-13-2002 02:42 PM

I am unclear if that is the new policy that I am referring to. If anyone can clarify this ban it would be appreciated.

Hey guys,

Let's take this debate to a more appropriate forum please :o

Oh, and it's good to be back after a months absence....

Tobiasly 08-13-2002 03:54 PM

Bigsarge.. yes, I am quite sure that is the policy you're thinking of. There were multiple new rules rolled up into the "soft money" ban, including what and when people can broadcast about candidates, using their own money. I'm not really sure of all the details of that legislation, though, but I could be wrong.

NBN, if every time a post on the Cellar evolved into a completely different tangent, we were required to "take it to a more appropriate forum", it would be a rather confusing place. I'm open to being convinced otherwise if there's actually a legitimate reason for staying on-topic. Although I suppose you're the moderator of this forum, so you could delete the entire thread if you want.

You know the KKK was just a bunch of men who had no fashion sense. Imagine, wearing white during winter, how absurd and a definate fashion no-no. (wish I knew how to spell fopau)
Well, you certainly CAN be as stupid as you want...so long as you understand that your actions could have adverse consequences, particularly if your actions infringe on the rights of others.

What's wrong with communism? Sure it was bad in practice, but it's a nice theory, IMO.

I don't get the KKK. If the KKK are so big on protecting the white Christian American, why hide behind a sheet? Wouldn't you be proud to defend that in the open? Of course, they would probably point to someone like David Duke and mention a cornucopia of conspiracies. Now Sarge, haven't you seen the Office Depot commercial featuring Kathy Ireland that discusses wearing white after Labor Day? :)

Bigsarge 08-15-2002 11:08 AM

Of course I have seen those commercials, what, you think I watch MTV all day? I am much more of a History channel and comedy channel guy. Loved your web page. Love your show!
