I object to people being idiots, on principle -- particularly if they are not quite idiots to begin with. Do you mind, Aliantha?

Object away UG. I'm not going to change me for you mate, so get over it or move on.

Perhaps if you remove the broomstick from your arse you may not feel quite so objectionable all the time.

I don't think there's much chance of UG changing, Aliantha....not even the broomstick.

That's a shame for him, and bad luck for the rest of us.

So you're telling me that out of ego, you'd prefer to remain an idiot, or simulate one rather too precisely, just for fun?

I have different hobbies that I think are more worthwhile.

'Cos I'd rather guilt-trip you, of course! :p

Why Bruce, anyone would think you have a jaundiced view of this. But which is likely to be better: throwing back to a two-term President who was the only Medal of Honor winner among forty-three, or throwing back to a vitiated Democrat like Jimmy Carter? I know who I'd pick, because I suppose an assertive foreign policy keeps the troublemakers, the non-democracies and their proxies and lackeys, thoroughly frightened of what an aroused Republic could do. Keep the anti-freedom types emasculated as well as eviscerated. They shouldn't be breeding anyway, not if you want a decent world. Those who would let them grow instead are being neither wise nor sophisticated. More nearly, these have the minds of slaves.

So, Aliantha, somehow you didn't read post #51? Don't encourage me to sneer at you for a blockhead. It is unrewarding to simulate idiocy unless you are a professional comedian -- then it can be lucrative.

lol...well if your sneer is as good as Elvis' then I wouldn't mind too much...or even JD's come to think of it.

Maybe I should consider a career in comedy. Obviously I'm not entertaining you with my intellect.

You mean like Saudi Arabia or Pakistan?
Or were you referring to Iran? That must be it, since they're rolling over like submissive dogs to our overwhelming foreign "policy".

Well, not that way, you're not. <shrug>

Neither you nor Bruce. I'm disappointed, rather, with Bruce. He's usually in better form, and usually able to acknowledge that I can't be confused with a Fascist.

Now Headsplice, why would you think I'd cite any of those as examples of what we might conveniently call E & E? Citing some failures to E & E hardly invalidates actually implementing such a policy, now does it?

Oh goodness, I didn't mean to imply you were a fascist....heavens, no.

I was just pointing out you have the same zeal and determination, to impose your views on the whole World, with as much force as necessary to grind any objections into the dirt with your jackboot, but not a fascist.

Lets see now, the difference is........hmm....
