umm, not so much. Don't let my seeming reasonableness deceive you.

However if anyone wants to stop by with a bottle of Basil Hayden's, you will be most welcome.

Thank heavens. You had me worried for a moment.

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

so youve filled in the voids of your popcorn ceiling.

nothing like the satisfaction of a DIY home improvement project.

the man fought against a racist and violent system. i have no problems with him resorting to an armed fight for some time. but like Longblade said South Africa made a mostly peaceful transition and there are many examples like Yugoslavia that didn't manage to do that. this is a huge accomplishment that not only spared many lives but also ensured that SA is one of the best working countries on the continent. the same can be said about Gorbatchev and Jelzin: whatever their mistakes were, they managed to keep an incredible difficult transition to be mostly peaceful.

Sorry, stopped doing the dark blue ones as people complained that they blended in with the background and they couldn't find 'em again.

That is why I love democracy, you get to pick your terrorists and freedom fighters. Who else offers such freedom of opinion and choice?

go and find where I ever made an excuse for Shamir.  I defy you to find one either here, on fb or at the wargamer.

A terrorist is a terrorist no matter how the media rewrites the person. Taking innocent lives is never excusable, the end does not justify the means when innocents are murdered.

I love you guys but I hope he doesn't rest in peace. I hope he spends a lot of time paying for all of the innocent lives that he took.

I have lost too many friends to terrorist while in the service, many of you lost friends on 9/11; terrorist should never be honored.

If you want to honor and give accolades to a dissident; give them to someone that actually spent time in jail without murdering anyone. Eventually he lead a bloodless revolution....that man deserved recognition yet very few recognized his death.

Keep in mind Vaclav was not thrown in jail for murdering anyone, he was thrown in jail for peacefully going against the government.
