HAW HAW!

America can't even hold down an area the size of California. Don't get bigger than your britches, kid.

But think of the areas to exploit, the drug revenues and the cheap labor...

You realize its your fault for not getting the damn concrete for the wall, right?

I did that on purpose.

Because I hate America, and love terrorist illegal aliens.

Yeah.

I can top that. Easy.

TGRR,
Doesn't value the same things as you do.

Urbane Guerrilla · 05-02-2009, 05:41 AM

TGRR, if you value anything a wise man would value, I hope you might tell us what that might be, instead of leaving us to guess.

When a man's been around the block four decades or so, he's got a pretty fair grasp of what the permanent things are.

I value Saturday night. Rock N Roll. FUN. This is why I support neither the Islamic whackjobs nor the American mainstream. None of you have any idea of how to have REAL fun, and most of you are out to stop ME from having MY fun.

I've been around for 40 years or so, and I haven't seen anything permanent.

Play is enjoyable, yes. And then...?

Not that I want to strip you of your fun; far from it, as you might see by scouring my posts for indications of any such toxicity.

AHA! There's your problem! You've never tried to find what is eternal -- or at least really, really long-term.

You gotta work to play. Problem is, this country forgot the latter. Probably because the first settlers were Puritan fucktards, and everyone seems to feel some need to emulate the humorless bastards.

In a hundred years, you'll be dead. Have fun now.

Bullshit they've forgotten play. It's all around you if you'd bloomin' open your bloomin' eyes. Consider the Jet-Ski and its use. Consider any sports car for a slightly more generalist item. Very few people actually work at The Society for Creative Anachronism, but thirty or forty thousand do play there. Let these few examples stand for many.

The Puritan spark has long been extinguished. Where's the worth in fighting yesteryear's battles as you seem to be doing out of sheer irritation? This isn't an act of bravery, you know. Well, maybe you don't get that one yet -- but cogitate as long as necessary (and no longer). Personally, I don't know one human being who "wants to emulate" the Puritans. Who became Congregationalists, I'm told, and don't even snap witches with wet towels in the locker room.

It's all the more fun if you've earned it, for then the money you so spend is all your own. Meanwhile, your refusal to contemplate the permanent things -- admittedly they are not so numerous as the impermanent ones, but all the more precious thereby -- puts me in mind of a similar crack by Keynes. Keynes' economic theories don't wear so well. He may well have been an idiot.

I've found it easy not to be an idiot. Takes a bit of time, but overall, it's not hard.

I think TGRR makes it apparent what things he values, most of the time anyway.
