Crap Throwing Monkey

I really liked the part where he tried to talk about "sacrifice" to an audience that's bitching about their favorite reality-TV shows being preempted by his speech. As a society, we're totally !@#$ed.

Taking "Patton" out of that: yes, the French were given the pride of liberating Paris. But "did the French Government arrange"? Not that I've ever heard of. From everything I've ever read, it was a command decision by either Ike or Hodges to lead with the 2nd FF Armored into Paris.

Basically, the French started making lots of noise in Paris, the German general in charge (I forget his name) decided that between the Resistance and advancing Allied armies he couldn't accomplish anything useful, so he basically pulled out (and violated his orders from Hitler to raze the city). As I recall, there was no real German presence for the 48-72 hours before the Free French 2nd Armored marched in. So yes, one could reasonably say that the Maquis liberated Paris. As for Patton's role...the 2nd FF Armored and US 4th Infantry division were subordinate to Hodges' First Army, not Patton's Third. As far as I know, Patton was never intended or ordered to liberate Paris.

Oops. I pulled a H-----.

I'm just glad Famil's okay...

Geez...I tip, and tip generously, when I feel it's deserved. Why the hell make it rocket science? Isn't "take care of people when they take care of you" enough?

And an unfunded liability never killed a company...

What? What the !@#$ is this verbal diarrhea?

How positively Zen... Can we all agree, at least, that Jessica Simpson's music is in no way and at no level "good"?

Actually, it's entirely unlike that. But don't ask me how I know.

So they can be simultaneously good and not good? You sound as conflicted as VABills at the movies...

But if you like them and they're not good, are they good?

Nice idea...but he better have a better business plan than "Justice Souter is a big ol' meanie!"

And apparently you're the only one who believes we're talking to ALL insurgents... Beats being a !@#$ing idiot...

Bigfoot sightings are up though...

Does that mean they're good, or that you like them?

And Christopher Pike fans they leave alone, because they KNOW a Christopher Pike fan will kick their asses...

GO PISTONS!!!!!

Still, it beats having a Napoleonic complex...

Sounds like sour grapes to me. You're probably just jealous because the aliens haven't rectal probed you yet...

Rubbed against it?

Well...now you know how the rest of us feel when we read your nonsense...

Ohhhhh...not comparing the crimes, just the tools...because just as many people use sniper rifles to steal copyrighted material as snipers use file sharing software to kill people...

In a bit. I'm still trying to understand UConn's post above...

So if file sharing is equivalent to a sniper rifle, does that mean downloading a song is equivalent to killing one Russian? Ergo, breaking into a file cabinet is 30 million times worse than stealing copyrighted material? And what if the song sucks? Or doesn't suck? Or doesn't suck, but you don't like it?...
