    PS... preceding the New Rule that got you guys all fired up over the war... there was also a New Rule about the penny. doesn't anyone want to get into a heated political debate about eliminating the penny?? :D

    New Rule: Fun threads are intended FOR HAVING FUN. If you aren't, in fact, having said fun, you're in the wrong thread.

    New Rule: Stop pretending that air fresheners actually freshen the air. Americans are a paradox. We're the nation most obsessed with smelling pleasant, while at the same time, we eat crap that makes our bodies emit clouds of toxic gas. Here's a hint. When you fart and your canary dies, you have a problem that's beyond the capabilities of the Airwick Corporation.

    New Rule: Stop telling me that vinyl records sound warmer than CDs. I was alive in the '70s, you dip-shit hipsters. I know what vinyl sounds like. Scratchy. And when your friend throws you the bong and it hits the tone arm, your Foghat record is ruined, man! Plus, when you've got a chick over and you're getting your groove on, every 20 minutes, you've got get up out of the beanbag chair and flip over the Ray Stevens album.

    it's just meant to be a HUMOROUS THREAD, abook, so if you don't find it funny, THEN WHY ARE YOU POSTING HERE??? this is what i don't get when people do this. there are hundreds of threads where you can make your point, why follow me around and try to fuck up mine? didn't you ask me to leave you alone? why don't you do the same? that way, we can agree to disagree, 'kay? :rolleyes: take care.

    I'll post anywhere I please, thank you very much.

    The logic in the 'new rule' was flawed in my opinion, so I pointed it out. End of story. If you don't wanna read my posts then put me on ignore....I couldn't possibly care less.
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    New Rule: Politicians must stop saying, "The American people are smarter than that." No, they aren't. If the Bush era has taught us anything, it's that voters want a president carved from their own image. [photo of Bush making funny face] Someone who doesn't like to read will believe anything he's told, and is easily distracted by bright, shiny objects.

    Are you a voter? Are you smarter than that? Does the above statement make any sense at all?
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    No - I mean the OP says that voters want a president carved from their own image - someone who doesn't read, believes everything they're told, etc.

    So I'm asking if that person is a voter and if so, do they read, believe everything they're told, etc.

    Maybe they voted for the lesser of two evils. In other words, didn't have much of an alternative.

    I never supported Bush.

    If I had been forced to vote for either he or Kerry, I would have voted Bush, though.

    In general, I disagree more with the economic policies and pro-legal abortion stance of the Dems more than I disagree with some of the Republican stances.

    I'm not real thrilled with either side, though.

    New Rule: I don't give two fingleberries and a McShit-all that Dumbledore is gay. I never wanted to know who Dumbledore was in the first place. Let alone his sexuality. What concerns me is adults who read 800-page books about magic schoolboys--and then try to talk to me about it. If I had the slightest interest in homosexuals with powers, I'd be a Republican.

    This one is absolutely hilarious!
