Hosie,,, I gotta hand it to you, you come off so mild mannered and crap but you really know how to start some $hit!
Edit; im sorry but im brutally reminded of a topic not all that long ago --- went something like ------------------------- congratulations america on your new brilliant president!!!!!!!!
Yeah ----- like that's going to go over without a hitch!!!!!!!!
:D Ain't he sweet:rolleyes: not a evil bone in his body;) and he only posted twice in 6 pages.
Our president is a Retard Ape. we will be eating our own poop in the next few years to survive.
I wouldn't go that far, but the fact he's chasing the "Universal Health-Care" thing while we're pushing double-digit unemployment and its getting worse yet he's hell bent on health care.
Are you going to finish that stool?
This thread which was OK up to/from the the AK Boomer and Carld stage, has gone really OT and has all the ear-marks of another rant that will end up being locked.
If that happens, Alistair will have got two for the price of one - with no additional effort by him at all - and someone else will cop the blame.
Luv thy neighbor ---- luv thy neighbors pets, esp. with some A1 sauce and a side biscuit with slaw.
On your original point A.K. the word "Catalist" springs to mind.
Don't knock Obama or our Obama-nation. At least according to the media he has "gravitas" and Bush didn't :p He can't help it if he can't think presidential without the ever present teleprompter.
:eek: oh goodness. Well, all I can say is it's going to be an interesting 4 years.
he said "yahwanna" (you want to ) several times in a speech the other day.
if a Brit prime minister started speaking like that ..he wouldn't last long ..
so do they have this tele-prompt with yahwanna wriitten on it ?
We just had a shill for big business, and before that we had a Bubba who was in it for whatever he could get..... before him a fairly decent guy, and a devious delegator.
Before them we had a well-meaning do-gooder who couldn't think evil of anybody...... and before him a decent bumbler, a flat-out crook, a congenital liar, a popular guy who who routinely cheated on his amazing "looker" of a wife, and a boring general.
Of all of them, the most suited to high office may have been the crook. he understood, and was understood by, the crooks in charge of all the other countries. Second was probably the delegator (ONLY for getting the USSR to scare itself to death), and then the liar..... followed by the general.
The rest of them aren't worth much.
The big problem with the crook was that you couldn't be sure he would 'stay bought".
He also coined a new word the other day: "stupidly". It means "police department".
He can't help it if he can't think presidential without the ever present teleprompter.
Bush had a teleprompter too -- look what good that did him. Republicans are just jealous that we have a President that can speak in complete sentences.
The Democratic party has made having glib and personable candidates a priority ever since JFK. It's all about the marketing. To get elected, it doesn't matter what you say, or what you do - it only matters how good you look.
Someone reports a possible burglary in a very nice neighborhood. Cambridge police knock on the door, and a black Harvard Professor identifies himself as a legitimate occupant of the premises. Cambridge police don't believe him, Harvard Professor gets angry, and they handcuff an infirmed middle-aged man who needs a cane, in his own home.
Where is Stormin Norm when you need a bit of levity??
If that is what happened that would be stupid. That isn't what happened.
Hold the pull there Mr. Hosie, I was merely commenting of how trouble seems to follow you around even despite your good intentions ------ and where did you come up with me being a "W man" :p that's really laughable.
Don't get your tail feathers all up in a huckle, it was all for fun so don't freak out, the president thing was genuine on your part and if you read my reply's to that thread I was basically backing what you were saying ------ Its just the fact that I don't think "outsiders" realize that when america is about split down the middle and its an up-coming election year (or month - or shortly after) that the topic can barely even be discussed in a civilized manner let alone when somebody throws in a big plug for one candidate, That's pretty much an out and out guarantee that about half the people reading are going to get pissed!
I in no way am trying to get you to change your "tactics"
but at the same time don't go telling falsehoods and make statements that "I don't like christians"
That will get you a severe spanking no matter what "good intentions" you have, where did you come up with that one when I said the girl was wrong for tearing up a book that so many people hold dear?
Do you make it a habit of not reading things through before making a comment like that?
That is not the way it happened. A neighbor called 911, reported two black men forcing a front door open. Police arrived, saw it may not be a break in, told the prof. they got a call of a break in and asked for ID. Prof went into kitchen to get ID and Sargent followed him. ID was for the College and had no photo. Sargent asked for photo ID and Prof got belligerent. Sargent decided everything was ok but Prof continued to mouth off to Sargent with derogatory statements about the Sargents mother. Sargent told him he would have to arrest him if he did not settle down. He did not settle down, Sargent arrested him. A black officer at the scene and other officers backed the Sargent as to the way it went down.
The arresting officer, a Sargent is the head instructor for the dept. teaching proper way to handle racial events and is highly respected and highly trained in that field.
Obama made rash statements without knowing the truth and is trying to make amends. He called the officer and the Prof and is trying to set up a meeting of the three of them. He admits the Prof got a little over the edge.
This has been blown way out of proportion by radicals on both sides and if you take the time to do an online search of the actual events you will find the truth.
You set out with the sole intention of ridiculing Alistair and nothing less. That would get you banned from any BBS I run. You need to step away from the keyboard, right after you apologize to Alistair, the group, and the hosts, and go make some swarf and think about why you thought this thread you've started has any value.
At any rate --- This entire incident should have ran its course like its doing with one important element missing --- and that was when Obama was asked about it at a press conference he should have stated simply that he had no comment --------- it was extremely un-brilliant of him to comment on the fact that he didn't have enough information about it to form an opinion and then right after stating that to then form a very strong opinion.
I couldn't believe it when I seen it on the news --- maybe just a rookie mistake, But its a no-win and he don't belong there, The guy is very intelligent and in a way for as much as he rambles on I cant believe he doesn't get himself into much more trouble.
That could have been handled with a PM. There's a reason you didn't choose to use a PM. You wanted an audience.
