about time
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.

Another hollow, thoughtless and detached comment about an individual whose achievements and contributions far outweigh your own.

 :ROFL:

there were moments in history where he had a huge impact no doubt.  he was also a grade A asshole overall.
just because a famous figure dies doesn't mean you have to like or respect them.

Keepin' it classy as usual, Groggy. I was taught around age 3 'if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.'

Let's apply that here.

As a Canadian I was aware of him and his role internationally. Love him/hate him he was for a time an influential person and his legacy will resonate for decades more past his death. 
I am sure he'll be missed by some - his family for sure.

He certainly lived a long life and seen a lot. Unlike many of us, he lead an influential life. One could say he earned his rest.
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

I was taught how to read around the age of 6. Now go apply yourself and read The Trial of Henry Kissinger by Christopher Hitchens.

Is it really a big shocker that some people despise Kissinger?  He did a lot of good, but he was also complicit in a lot of evil.  Illegally bombing Cambodia is the most obvious one that comes to mind.
A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Most of the people who despise Kissinger and think he was complicit in "evil" also think the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israeli civilians was "justified". Was the man perfect? Of course not. Far from it. But there is nothing that I can see in searching his record that makes his service so abhorrent to justify praise over his death. This is based on nothing more than US-loathing radicalism.

And for the record, I have mixed feelings on Kissinger as well.

I did not ban Groggy for despising Kissinger.

I banned him for being out of line one too many times. I had enough of that noize.
