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.

THAT'S MY WHOLE POINT... how can you possibly claim that it pleases you to post here? obviously, you follow certain folks around (like me, for instance) who aren;t even talking about your favorite subject and you moan & groan the whole time. is this some sort of masochistic streak you've developed? if everything i post irritates you, why don't you put ME on YOUR ignore list? save us both the effort of these boring back and forths.

seriously, wtf has happened to you? i seem to recall that you used to be capable of having fun.

New Rule: If you're in college and not drinking beer, you're doing it wrong. Students at Utah State have taken to playing the drinking game, Beer Pong. With root beer! Instead of beer, root beer! And instead of laughing and partying and trying to get laid, everybody wishes they were dead. Hey, Mormons, if you're going to ask kids to believe in magic underpants and posthumous baptism, don't you kind of want to get 'em half in the bag first?

New Rule: Yoko Ono has to stop saying, "It's what John would have wanted." Really? He would have wanted his songs interpreted by Russian gymnasts at the Mirage Casino? He would have wanted a John Lennon action figure? You know what? I think I know what John Lennon would have wanted: A divorce and Lucy Lu.



New Rule: Being a Democrat and realizing you're never going to be president doesn't mean you have to grow a beard. [photos of Al Gore and Bill Richardson sporting beards] Is it a suicide watch thing? They take away your razor? All I know is, this tradition must stop now, because no one needs to see this. [photo of Hillary Clinton with beard]

New Rule: As far as I'm concerned Cherry Chocolate Diet Dr. Pepper still doesn't have enough sh*t going on. I need Caffeine-Free Cherry Chocolate Diet Dr. Pepper. No, no, no. I need Cool Ranch Extreme Caffeine-Free Cherry Chocolate Diet Dr. Pepper. And baked. And I want a sticker on it telling kids that drugs are bad.

Seriously, aren't there enough fucking threads about how screwed up the two-party system is, how dems are actually the anti-christs and the only salvation for us is a three party system? Sweet Jesus, give it a break, folks.


New Rule: Let's try and have some fun sometimes, even if it kills us.

Sweet Potato!

a three-party system? now thats just plain dumb. what is going on is that some of us around here see the urgency in needing to abolish the whole party-system. we want a zero-party system. i mean, why cant we just have one big party?? and keeping with your pace, what could be more fun than one big party?? so, perhaps now you too can see, it is you, the radically-conservative and the ignorantly-liberal traditionalists who are spoiling all the fun of america's revolution back to becoming a state of justice.

but hey, at least beer is still legal!!

*New Rule: let's try and know what we're talking about when we attempt to criticize others' comments.

New Rule: Leaders of real democracies don't dress like Bond villains.

Here's Vladimir Putin with his sidekick, Oddjob. I mean Dimitri Medvedev, the new president of Russia. They look like the two oldest guys at a Depeche Mode concert. But, still, I can't wait to read Putin's new memoir, The Audacity of Poisoning Your Enemies With a Radioactive Isotope.

Newer Rule: Let's try and know what we're talking about when we post irrelevant (and decidedly not funny) shit in a thread meant for laughs.

If you guys don't think this cycle of perpetual war was what Bush and Co planned on happening then I guess we'll just have to disagree. If anything, it has made his cronies richer by the day.

That isnt what Maher said. He said Bush wasnt behind 9/11. He didnt say he didnt exploit it and sell war to the public based around it. But exploiting something, and being the cause of something, arent the same thing.

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.

Ray Stevens and romance....together!??! :eek: Sounds like someone hit the bong way, way too much.

Well IMO, Iraq wouldve happened with, or without 9/11. 9/11 wasnt even the primary reason Iraq was sold to us, WMDs were. So I do agree with abook, in that I think this administration was wanting war in Iraq, and the financial reasons certainly dont escape me. However, I dont see why Bush needed 9/11 for that. Other than WW2, we havent been attacked before any major war we were involved in.

My point was that Bill Maher said he couldnt have pulled off 9/11 because it involved 'planning'. I was only saying that's flawed logic because they have planned and carried out plenty of things.

It was a joke. He wasnt going into detail. It was meant to be a little 10-15 second blurb to get a few laughs. You are reading into it way to much.

And? I thought jokes were supposed to make sense.

Anyways, it's a common angle brought up around here to point to why Bush isn't capable of such and such....and I care if it's in a joke or used in a thread, that logic doesn't hold water, so why just ignore it? There's nothing to read too far into here, the basis of that particular joke is a common misconception.

The basis of the joke is that this administration has done little to anything right. So no, the basis of the joke is not a misconception. Unless you think the wars have been a great success and were planned extremely well, then it makes sense. I still think you are trying to draw something out of it, that isnt there.

New Rules are the best!!!
