I recieved a letter today from the National Constitution Center, The Bourse, Suite 560, 111S. Independence Mall E., Philadelphia, PA. 19106 (www.constitutioncenter.org). They are soliciting funds for "the revolutionary new museum and outreach center" opening July 4th 2003.
" The Constitution and Bill of Rights are - to this day - the subject of passionate debate (i.e., freedom of religion, prayer in school, freedom of the press, and the right to bear arms). When the supreme court becomes involved in these matters, the document to which they turn for resolution is the constitution. And we Americans cannot understand the issues involved if we do not know and understand the Constitution."
Radar, when you come to visit, I'll buy you a Philly cheesesteak and all the beer you can drink.

That's not *entirely* true. I have said many times I agree with many of your posts/beliefs. It's the cutting harshness of what you post that I found annoying. Most of that has gone away. Thank you. It's much easier for someone to agree with you when you arent calling people cock smokers.

I can't really say that I hold that much respect here, so supporting some of your assertions isn't damaging to my reputation. There are some ideas you post that I strongly agree with, like:

* the 16th A and the tax system are only in force due to intimidation and are not legal.

* The second A means what *it says*

* That Bill Gates is not really the ant-christ but a good capatalist.

* People that make money should vacation

On the other hand, we disagree on the role of the US military and Bush. So there you have it, enough common ground to keep us posting back and forth.

OOh, and......I'm ignoring the fact you dont like hillbillies (til I get done fucking my sister in the car on blocks in the front yard anyway).

it seems to me that youre not really interested in being a part of the cellar community. you very seldom post in threads you didnt start, and when you do, its always politically motivated.
I'm a politically motivated guy and I'm posting in a political forum.

Quote:
while debate is an important part of what makes the cellar what it is, there is much more to it. i simply cannot imagine that your only interests are political.
You're correct there. I have many other interests but the political fire in my belly and my love of arguments drives me towards political discussion. I like movies, juggling, world travel, computer networking, sky diving, etc. I've worked as a casino craps dealer/pitboss/surveillance, a computer network engineer, a bartender, and various other jobs to makes ends meet.

Quote:
we have a board called 'food and drink'. you are or have been a bartender, and i imagine that you could bring a lot to that board. why dont you? i suspect its for one of two reasons. either you have nothing to say or youre not interested in saying it. i seriously doubt its the first. if its the second, then why are you here?
To be honest I find political discussion far more exciting than talking about food or drink. But since you're taking the high road and challenging me to do the same, I'll check it out.

Quote:
dont be the kid who sits at the edge of the game making cracks because youre 'too good' for us. join the game. i bet people would be a lot more interested in what you have to say if they knew you as someone other than what youve come across as so far. i would be.
I'll keep that in mind and turn down my asshole setting a notch or two.

Quote:
p.s. i deleted my previous two posts because they were immature and im going to try and show you at least some respect. so again, i apologise for my behaviour but i stand beside what i said in this post.
Apology accepted and thanks for taking the high road.

That's a very kind and gracious invitation. I've always wanted to visit Philadelphia and see the historical sites. Although it might be dangerous to promise me all the beer I can drink. I play a mean game of darts and would insist on buying my share of the rounds. But if I am going to make it out that way, I'll let you know I'm coming.

I've never had a problem with you Slang. And I'll let the hillbilly thing slide if I get a turn with your sister next.

Thankyou. I rarely drink alcohol because I am most always carrying a (or many) handguns. The state frowns on people being intoxicated while driving....you can imagine how unhappy they are with someone toting 5 handguns drunk (or ability impaired).

I plan on coming to Philli sometime over the summer and when I do we'll hafta get together. I can eat like a wild animal , and to take advantage of free food I'll bring a wheelchair and stretchpants.

I really don't agree. Maybe I'm just different.

     Hey Juju, you know you've been in Arkansas to long when the sheep thing doesn't bother you. On the other hand you live close to campus as well as attending school so you probably see more disturbing things on a regular basis.
     Or maybe it's just the fact that you've lived close enough to Oklahoma to know it could be so much worse...

Nah, I just don't pass judgement on people who do harmless things. It is blowup, after all. And in the end, why should I really give a damn if somebody likes to fuck inflatable sheep? It's not as if it's going to creep into every other aspect of their personality.

Yeah, yeah, I know you were only kidding, giving me a hard time, and blah blah blah. Look, I'm operating off of 3 hours sleep, here. I did a last-minute cram-studing session last night for my Spanish final (which I'm pretty sure I did okay on. Go last-minute cramming!) Anyway, I feel pretty lucky that I can even form coherent sentences. Forming coherent paragraphs, though? That's a bit out of my reach right now..

::head falls on keyboard::

zzzZZzzzz...

He's having that dream where he oversleeps his alarm and then arrives at the Spanish final naked and only knows how to speak Brazilian Portugese...

     Yup, you've been living to close to Oklahoma. Just because you have to make the distinction of blow up or not.
     I'm just harrasing you, I think you're point is somewhat valid. I do question what the rest of their personality would be like if they look at a blow up sheep and think, "Umm yeah, that looks good to me." It seems to me it very well might effect the rest of their personality.

it's possible that it may influence some small parts of their personality, but I don't think you can say that fucking inflatable sheep is <i>the</i> direct cause of personality. I tend to think that personality is brought about by all of our experiences combined. And besides, it's rather ludicrous to suggest that Slang had no personality before he fucked inflatable sheep.

Argh! I made an oversight. You said "the rest of their personality". Still, I think that experiences that happened after the fact would also contribute to personality.

I'm so goddamned tired right now...
