Talk about a well run campaign, like I'm going to give these morons more money so they can buy Wesley Clark a freaking plaque! Stupid....
Hamster, please do not use bandwidth for threads which are duplicative in nature. I urge you to respect the demands that are placed on Clutch and his server. http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=72858
Of course, which one of the two of you have donated money to Clutch to help him maintain the costs of running this site? That'd be the thread-starter. I urge you to respect the demands that are placed on Clutch and his server by opening your pocketbook.
That's silly, T_J. Sam posted in that thread and hasn't forgotten it. This was to announce that it was official. Considering how much bandwidth has been used to discuss Clark, and how little some people pay attention, I don't think it was out of line. Besides, it got us that cool Star Trek photo of Wesley Crusher... who crushed so many young ladies when he left the show. (or was booted... can't remember)
http://www.wilwheaton.net/faq.php "Here's the absolute truth why I left Star Trek. I left Star Trek because it was seriously interfering with my career in feature films. I was in a situation where I was constantly having to pass on really good movie roles because I was on the series....I had been cast by Milos Foreman to be in Valmont. I had gone through lots and lots of callbacks, I had met Milos personally a number of times and he was really supporting me and telling me, "I want you in my movie." I was going to go to Paris and I was going to be in this movie and stuff and what happened was we were going to shoot it during the hiatus and the shooting schedule for Valmont would have carried me over about a week into the regular season schedule into Star Trek. I would have had to sit out the first episode of the year, right. That's not a big deal, it's not like I'm the ****in' Captain, you know. At that point, I was the guy who pushed buttons and said, "Yes, sir!" So, I said to the people on Star Trek, "I need to be written out of this particular episode, because I'm going to do this movie and my film career's going to take off." ....they said, "We can't write you out because the first episode of the season is all about you. It focuses entirely on your character and it's your story..." So, he said to me, "The story is entirely about you, we can't write you out." I said, "Well, this really sucks, but I'm under contract to you guys and if that's your call and if that's what you say I have to do, I have to do." I had to pass on the movie. A couple of days before the season was ready to premiere, they wrote me out of the episode entirely. What they were doing was they were sending me a message. The message was, "We own you. Don't you ever try to do anything without us." That was the last straw for me. I called my agents and said, "They don't own me. It's time for me to leave this show, it's time for me to be gone." That's what really pushed me over the edge. It's not worth it anymore. That's why I left. "
This was one of the funniest posts I've ever seen. The thing that did it was the brilliant intro lines.
I see our resident match maker is now speaking to himself. Interesting. Having to resort to dating on the internet and now resorting to speaking to himself on the internet. My how things can unravel.
Why don't you respect Clutch enough to help him maintain this board by donating money? www.lcr.org They're waiting for you.
1. I have deleted your latest use of the accusation of homosexuality as an insult. 2. Donating money is a personal decision. It is not right for people on this site to demand that others donate. MacBeth for instance has not donated. Many others have not donated. In the same way that I am not demanding you to donate money to AIDS/Special Olympics/Habitat for Humanity, you should not demand for me to donate. 3. I have every intention of donating money to this site. 4. Value creation is not simply a function of money donated. There is absolutely no question that my posting in the D&D draws people to use this site frequently. Without a healthy back-and-forth between conservatives and liberals, discussion would grind to a halt. There is value in maintaining a user base and activity on this site. This value will one day be monetized, depending on how Clutch decides to exit and/or realize gains from this investment. 5. I have a post in the works that I will put in the feedback forum when completed. I think if marketed properly, this site could be worth a substantial amount of money. My feedback forum post will center on making "equity investments" in CF.Net. I believe this will substantially increase the amount of money raised from the current structure. The users can serve as venture capital investors, thus saving money in banking fees, and providing a low-cost of capital that currently is not available (in this form at least). 6. Apologies for #4 and #5. This is so far over your head that you have no hopes of grasping any of it. You are after all, an administrative assistant.
The people know the facts about this one. You posted my profile from Match.com on here. I don't know any straight men who browse the available males over at Match.com. I don't think you being a homosexual should be an insult at all. Not only is one of my good friends gay, I'm pretty sure if you ask one of the homosexuals on this board if they thought I would ever use it as an insult, and they'd say no. When you criticize someone for not respecting Clutch's site, it opens up for ridicule your own level of respect for this BBS. SamFisher respected Clutch and the stress on the servers by donating money to the cause. You have not. I'd say that you have no right to talk about SF's respect for this site. That's good to hear. How in the world did this site manage to exist and be extremely popular before June 2002? You're right, I'm not familiar with economics or financial information to really understand this. I've never stated any different. I have no problem admitting this. It's not an insult to me, it's just never interested me at all. If I wanted to, I could, there's no doubt about that. Ah, another insult from the insult king. BTW, I'm not an administrative assistant as I've told you many times. I'm Vice-President of a extremely popular and wildly successful website that has over 100,000 members from across the globe. I'm paid handsomely, thank you very much. Not that I think that job is an insulting one, however. I see how much your secretaries **** with your head by doing such odd things as smacking their gum and wearing ties to work. Good thing you have this BBS and the numerous single males at Match.com to take your mind off of that.
1. Do you no longer work for a law firm? If you do, what tasks do you routinely perform? Why do you need to work at a law firm? Money? You have listed your salary range on the internet before for all to see. Your definition of 'handsomely' is very loose. 2. There is no question that you use homosexuality as an insult on a daily basis. You know, in junior high a lot of people insulted others by saying "You're gay". Some of us have grown out of that type of behavior. Others, like yourself, have not. You deny it in one post, and then in that same post, use it as an insult again. You must be pretty naive if you don't think people see this. 3. It is well-established procedure to merge/delete duplicative threads. It is disrespectful to deliberately defy the request to not duplicate threads. 4. Thank you for admitting that you know nothing about economics or finance. I have given you the chance in many financial/economic threads to admit this. You have yet to do so until today. Your analysis/opinions are now properly put in perspective for future debates. 5. I believe my post in the feedback forum will be of great benefit to Clutch. With this, I am done in this thread. CASE CLOSED
I do not work for a law firm anymore. When I did, I was a case clerk. A paralegal without the title of paralegal. One of the reasons was money. Also, I was working in the law firm because I'm so good at my main job, that I was able to complete my duties with enough time to spend at another job. Not to mention, I'm still thinking about law school in a few years, so I was working at these law firms. The fact that you remember my salary range (which wasn't my true salary range) from my Match.com profile indicates that you're obsessed with me. My profile's been down for six months now, I hope you've tried to find Mr. Right in that time. I know for a fact they don't believe this. You're the one taking it as an insult, I'm just trying to help you come to grips with your budding sexual orientation. You took a big step by admitting to an entire BBS that you were gay and now you're backtracking. Self-hatred is a horrible thing. Not to mention, most people here know exactly what I'm referring to and given my support in that thread, understand it. You're not liked here. Thank you Mr. Moderator. Of course, the admins must've disagreed with you since the thread wasn't merged. I'd say the official announcement of a dropout of a major Democratic nominee merits its own thread, but I'm not a moderator either. I've never tried to debate in any economic or finance related threads. I've admitted many times that I don't know much about these subjects. I'm not ashamed about it, but I've definitely never tried to be something I'm not. I hope you're right. And imagine the joy you will bring to the BBS when you finally replace the word "thread" with "BBS". Oh glorious day. Of course, you don't have the cajones to accept my challenge of starting a whole other thread simply to embarass a fellow BBSer. Wuss. It's been closed on you for about 18 months now.
The additional point of this thread was that a candidate asked for more donations for a special plaque even after the candidate dropped out. That sounds so ridiculous, it is almost unbelievable and surely deserved special mention. Rocketman95, just out of curiosity, you seem to be very interested in law, why not make a decision of whether moving into it or not now and then act on it (in other words, apply to law school now)? I just think it kind of gets harder to switch careers or to move into a new one the older one gets, and I remember from some of your older posts that you are really interested in that field. Also, come on guys, it's entertaining to a certain extent, but some of your stuff (both) is getting repetitive by now.
That was very ridiculous. Well, I was going to apply for 2004 admission, but two things kept me from doing that. For one thing, I want to be positively sure that I want to do this. My parents were offering to pay for a good chunk of it if I started this fall. While that was a really attractive deal, I wasn't sure if my wanting to go to law school was affected by that. So, I put it off. Now, I can see if it's something that I really desire to do or if it was something I was going to do because I was going to get some of it paid for. What actually changed my mind, however, was our (Major and I) political website we started in 2002, www.onlytheissues.com. We're doing it again for this election season and if I was to start law school in fall, there's no way I could juggle the two. So, I put it off at least a year. There's a couple other areas of study I'm debating about as well. I'm still relatively young, so I'm not worried about the career changing thing. I agree. I'm done with it. I'm just waiting to see if he has the guts to start a thread again with the sole reason to embarass me.
