Ah, got ya. I've been "listed" before so we may just be talking to ourselves anyway. What were we talking about?

This is the best news I've had all morning! It also means that never again will I have to read one of Radar's stupid responses to something I post. What a relief! Guess the big guy just couldn't stand the heat, so instead of getting out of the kitchen, he now wears an abestos suit and plugs his ears to things he doesn't like hearing. What a loss of credibility (not that he had a shred to begin with), and as usual done by his own hand. Yes! Yes! YES! (Does a war dance around the living room.) A toast to all my fellow "censored by Radar" celler members!


PS The best part is that while he won't be able to read what I post, I can still read what HE posts and make fun of him. Its like having my very own star wars cloaking shield. I can poke fun at him and he won't know what the other two people he didn't censor are laughing about! Oh my, this a great bit of humor to start my day off with. Will someone whom he doesn't censor please pass along to him my heartfelt thanks?

I was pretty amused at being left off the list ...

How about posting a comprehensive list of everyone on your ignore list?

I'm a little curious.

You're not on the list griff. It's tough to qualify for my list. You've got to fit into one or more of the following categories.

1. Stupid beyond words
2. Purposely ignorant (avoid the truth at all costs)
3. Openly Support Racism (affirmative action, groups like the KKK, etc.)
4. Offer nothing constructive to any conversation
5. Religious Zealot
6. Literally Insane and in need of professional help
7. An asshole with no redeeming qualities
8. Deny facts or in some cases reality itself
9. Justify theft, murder, treason, terrorism, etc and call it humanitarianism.


I'm sure those on my list are probably stupid enough to be proud to be on it but I could care less. They've proven many times over that they have nothing intelligent, logical, reasonable, or worthwhile to add to any conversation on any topic. They can have their own little retarded party where they pat each other on the back and jerk each other off and it's all good with me because I won't have to see it.

I've spent a long time on this list and given these people every opportunity to show that they have even the slightest bit of anything resembling intelligence and they've proven over and over that they have nothing to offer but stupidity. Why waste my time on their ignorance when I can have rational and intelligent discussions with others. There are many offensive people who have not made it to my list yet because the jury is still out on them, but for those I mentioned and a few I didn't there is no doubt what-so-ever that they will never offer anything above the intelligence level of a bag of hammers.

Oh, my, is the man psychic or what? I think he's peeking, that's what I think. YES! I AM MORE POWERFUL THAN A BAG OF HAMMERS - my new tag line!

Can I join the war dance? =D

I always like bag of hair but bag of hammers has some merit I must admit.
If we're in a circle jerk Radar must be jerking himself off

Looking at the scorecard, radar is 7 for 9 himself ...

8 for 9 if you consider his constitutional interpretations as "religious zealotry".

I can see by the flurry of posts marked "This person is on your Ignore List." I must have touched a nerve. Either that or they're saying totally predictable things to congratulate each other or to suggest other names to be added. Whatever. Let them stroke each other.

Now, back to the topic at hand and how only voluntarily funded services are legitimate and all government funded services amount to robbery and slavery....

Hopefully we'll have a few intelligent people to discuss this and who won't waste their time on those who should be on everyone's iggy list.

I'm zero for 9 wolf. You need to work on your math skills.

As it happens I do agree with you in principle on this, although I don't think that the current social support network in this country would be able to provide adequate care to all in need. I DO think that there are a lot of abuses of the welfare and disability systems, however. There is a BIG difference between someone on disability because they are mentally retarded or severely mentally ill and need custodial care and someone whose disability is alcohol or drug use.

Substance abuse is NOT a disease, it's a decision, and I shouldn't have to pay for the consequences of someone else's stupidity.

(incidentally, by taking such a position, I'm cutting off my own nose to spite my face, because treating those worthless drug users on the county, state, and federal dime pays my salary. I'm guessing only about 1/4 of the people I see have private insurance coverage, the rest are uninsured or have medical assistance. I'll have to try to get a copy of our annual report. Those percentages used to be in there.)
