olivier in france Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Quagmire? Anyone? Quagmire? How about exit strategy? No mention of exit strategy. Let's see, what is another soundbite I can toss in here...Ooooh This is another Vietnam!!!! 221031[/snapback] sorry to say that but it's much worse than Vietnam, once the US finally decided to stop the Vietnam fiasco they left and Vietnam became a communist country like the others, nothing really dangerous. Today the US can not leave Iraq even if they wanted to do so because Iraq 'd immediatly become the most dangerous place for World peace. (well some think it is yet the case...). The Iraq situation is a Vietnam war you can not stop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UConn James Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Wanna bet? 220669[/snapback] I seriously doubt it... You clearly don't know the history or caliber of a good many of the people that post here. 220852[/snapback] The topic of this thread being media, PR and how they operate, yeah, I'd fairly send you packing.

UConn James Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Yes I did forget that. That those who are "capable" of college should have it paid for becuase it makes sense. But for everyone else they should be your servants and slaves, changing your oil, shining your shoes because obviously they are too stupid to serve any other function. Oh I remember those discussions. I thought you were being funny, because it sounded too much like Hitler and the Aryan Nation to be have me honestly believe it. 220541[/snapback] Pell grants were designed to give a leg up (read: nowhere near the free ride you're imagining) for people who come from "servants and slaves" background. What would I know, I only delivered papers and cleaned houses during high school and the first three years of college. Every job is important in this country and a hard worker deserves respect whatever the occupation. Where do you get off talking to someone like this? You don't even know me. Democrats see the value of PG, Republicans see the value of PG to generate more money into the economy rather than trying to make something out of nothing. You've said before that it should be done by individual states. With 60% of college grads moving to the states where they go to school, what state in their right mind is going to want to do this unless there's a mandate that it only applies to State U? There's a reason why things are set up the way they are. Not perfect, but what is? Economic girliemen like yourself have your only venue in a sounding board like this. If you ever see someone at RWS wearing a UConn wool cap, and feel the inclination to walk up and ask if their name is James, do me a solid and walk on by. I don't usually wish harm on others, but if I wake up one morning and read something that you've been shot by a disgruntled co-worker who's sick of your crap or that you've got Ebola, I won't be particularly saddened. You don't need to bother with a reply. I'm done w/ PPP and this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a part in his stand up comedy about te "know it all" who goes to the Chinese restaurant. He thinks he is cute and orders wonton soup, with an obvious mocking of the waiter. Well the waiter goes out back and Eddie does the mimicking like he is jacking off in the soup, saying "Yeah I give you special won ton soup". Trust me, with your attitude towards people, I guarentee you have already had special won ton soup and spt burgers. Respect goes beyond saying it. It is actually showing respect for everyone from the guy who changes your oil, to doing the laundry, to the service men and women protecting your ass. Have you ever bought a military guy a drink when you saw him in the bar, paid for their lunch at the deli? Didn't think so. I have. I have also when I was in the service had people do the same for me. That is respect. Not saying that everyones job is important. Treating people like they are your friend is. Trust me, I would never ever consider stopping and talking to you. You obviously wouldn't have the time of day for someone like me. Of course, others around here have met me, and know now what I do for a living. And trust me, my feet are firmly planted and love most people around me regardless of their job or politics. I however hate "stupid people". BTW, you should consider politics, because your attitude sure fits with the typical North East politician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE'd be licking the boots of the English like my Scottish ancestors had to, and my French-Canadian ancestors had to!!! We owe them a large debt for saving us... calling them a has-been nation is not cool. Calling them blind, or ignorant of the facts, or salfish is one thing; but to deride their past is totally unfair! Why do you THINK the Statue of Liberty is there in New York??????? Come on now!
