  1. BTW, I'm not even sure I what I would support. Jumping headfirst into Iran vs. Israel sounds frightening. Ignoring it sounds frightening. It would be bad no matter what and require some serious diplomatic work to keep it from escalating fast.
  2. Not sure Americans have a taste for much more war in the Middle East...wonder what BO would do if this happens before November and what this would do to the election.
  3. Stupid and stupider were Rkfast and Eryn. Stupid.
  4. He was for a more powerful federal government, and if anyone thinks that was the wrong stance as we stand here in 2012, let him be ruled by a King, with each state having its own military and currency! No real comparison between what he envisioned the federal government doing and what happened. He saw weak borders, states completely fragmenting the new union, and a New World-hungry Europe. The only response, in his view, was a stronger federal government. His view was repudiated by the run of anti-federalist presidents who followed his term. Stupid Jeffersonians...note the greatest accomplishment of the Jeffersonian presidency was to act like a federalist (or dictator really) and way overstep his authority with the Louisiana Purchase. I wouldn't be John Adams if I didn't point out Jefferson's failings, right?
  5. Yeah, that retort makes sense. Talking to you and Eryn is like arguing with a 4 year old, minus 3 years of life experience. LA has half a brain when he isn't being sensitive to attacks on his party.
  6. Gays only want to marry to avoid taxes. Go get 'em Chuck Schumer!
  7. Good catch. What an obnoxious message that is: "Only the educated may marry." Gaaaah!
  8. I never said it didn't. Romney put a dog on his car. Obama ate dog. Romney cut someone's hair. The first lady hates America. Obama's birth certificate. Mitt bankrupted companies. Michelle Obama goes on expensive trips to Mexico. Romney is filthy rich. Obama changed biographies on the WH website. What a bunch of crap...and yet LA and 3rd question that Independents would get disgusted by it and vote "no thanks" to the choices presented. Good god. You want me to post where I called Obama a pu$$y on the gay marriage issue? How many posts do you want me to find you ninny? You just prickle when I attack your dumb posts. Ha. Touche. I'm more anticipating once the pres. campaign kicks into high gear. To me, now that we have candidates, this is the calm before the storm.
  9. You guys are stupid and stupider. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/145395-obamas-new-campaign-ad/page__view__findpost__p__2453672 When someone says your guy is wrong, it doesn't make them liberal. Hard concept to grasp, I know, but it is possible to criticize Romney and not also be a liberal. Good job by Romney for rejecting the ads RE Rev. Wright. Not sure how much control he can exercise over the mud-slinging but the less he does, the better for him. And if Obama starts slinging, it will be hard for him not to sling back.
  10. Hey stupid, I was quoting the FOX article. Dimwit. The Romney Super PACs will create an ugly campaign, as will the Obama campaign. If you don't think this will be ugly on both sides, you're naive.
  11. Some interesting conclusions here. Romney's lead grew but he's taking a hit among Independents, who he must get to vote. That's a Fox poll, so maybe it's even worse for Romney. http://www.foxnews.c.../#ixzz1v8tGreNB
  12. No Obama propaganda on my bio. That's right B word. Back off.
  13. Considering Bruce went #1 and Flutie went 284 picks later, I'd say it was a no brainer between the two of them.
  14. I'd say drafting Bruce had more impact on the Bills but the Biscuit trade required more GM savvy. Drafting Bruce was a no-brainer (not that the Bills hadn't screwed up no brainers before Bruce).
  15. I'd like to hear the responses to the argument, not just attacking the arguer. This is one of the better threads going.
  16. And I use Adorama. The last 3 are all super reputable. SDS is right re telephoto lens quality but you're a beginner so you should get as much telephoto lens as you can afford, but if your camera comes with some stock telephoto zoom, first see how you feel about it. You can always add more lenses later. I have a Nikon--they tend to be heavy as a brick but I love Nikons. I've owned Canons--lots of people swear by them. Never had a Sony. It's potayto potahto. Get what feels right to you.
  17. I went to a much much much worse school than Bucknell and that should make you feel a lot better because obviously you put a lot of stock in such things. And really, you could use some help. Your posts are getting more and more awkward for you.
  18. I feel bad after attacking you and seeing posts like this. And then I do it again. I'm sorry. I'll try to let you be and you don't deserve to be treated this way by me. But you seem to be reaching some sort of breaking point lately--I really suggest you seek help.
  19. So we're good--I always like an Ali G reference so we'll let the ref pick up the flag.
  20. Obviously, I got your reference better than you did.
  21. Hey stupid, rkfast's topic was a farce, as was my response...but since lack of sense of humor is common in people with NPD, I shouldn't be surprised that you missed it. (Note your addiction to the smiley brother: You laugh a lot at your own jokes.) My god man, you even dance for me when I'm not turning the organ grinder crank!
  22. I've taken a couple more advanced classes from PPSOP. A little pricier but they are good. For a beginner, read the manual and go shoot for a while first. You can shoot with anything, really. But if you're looking to up your game, I'd recommend any Digital SLR that makes you want to take pictures. Don't bother listening to a bunch of camera fanboy nonsense. Just get the one you like. Every camera has a million features...don't think that the 16 megapixel makes a whit of difference compared to the 12 megapixel and pay $400. IT doesn't make that much of a difference. I don't think there is such a thing as a "bad" digital SLR these days. If you are thinking about getting serious, you will want to change lenses and use filters because really, getting it right at the time of shooting makes a bigger difference to your shot than all the post-processing.
  23. I have 50 books on the English language if you'd like to borrow them.
  24. I don't feel like cranking up the organ grinder to make you dance today but you're a piece of work.
