    Yes, You've had an opinion on everything else besides Ronald Reagan. I fell for the trap and you've succeeded in derailing the thread. I see what you did there.

    What an immature argument. But, then y'all aren't old enough to remember the Reagan presidency, so that's what I should expect! :p

    You were born in 1986 and in 1987 you got choked up when Reagan told Gorbachev to tear down the wall? At most you were 18 months old.

    Is this a joke? The speech was made in the middle of 1987. If you were born in 86, the oldest you could possibly have been is 18 months or so. If you really understood what was happening in that situation at 18 months old, it is a massive failure on your part as a human being that you have not revolutionized political thought with your writings as you are clearly a prodigy.

    Sure but 5 is a lot different than 1 or 2. I have distinct memories of political things from the time I was five, but it is virtually impossible for an 18 month old baby to be developed to point of having reactions to political speeches of any substance.

    No, I thought it might be sarcasm which is why I asked if it was a joke. It's just hard to tell since I'm not familiar with your posting.

    so you blame Bush for the deficit, but not credit Clinton for the surplus?

    No I was making that original statement as a little barb not as a serious belief. Of course Clinton gets credit for the surplus and of course Bush gets blamed for deficit.

    I don't know Finalsbound so I thought it may be a case of exaggeration.

    Or she could have meant that even though she was 18 months at the time, when she sees videos of it, she gets choked up.

    I was in a self-administered chemically induced semi-coma haze during the 70's and 80's but I believe I saw a 20/20 special about you during that time.

    You're not the bubble-boy, right? Rodney Allen Rippy? Lisa Lisa from Cult Jam?
