This is not an excercise in mediocrity... hopefully it is an excercise in community. So a lot of topics are bad here, God, abortion, gays, death penalty, war in Iraq, liberal shaningans, strip clubs.... But can we find something to agree on? Love? It's good? Anybody willing to disagree? Friendship? Loyalty? Honor?!? (Falstaff would disagree but do you?) Hate is bad? Maybe then we should rethink what our nations rests upon, and I think we will find that it is these principles, and that hopefully they are insured against through the protection of freedom, freedom correctly understood, not freedom like a shopping cart. I'll be out after about 5 minutes, so discuss amongst yourselves. B-Bob, maybe we can be friends.
"Friends? Why yes, human, after my planet has enslaved yours and you have maintained your peanut butter production quota for a few years... Then, we can revisit the topic. Mwa-ha-ha-ha!" ... edit: what I most love about my country, or the ideal *principles* of my country: Freedom. Opportunity. Non-theocratic governance. Welcoming of all peoples. ... and I would be remiss if I did not mention... Our kick ass jet airplanes of war death! (sorry, j/k!)
Crap I don't know how to post images, but it was the kids from Signs and Joaquain Phoenix sitting with tinfoil on their heads.
Yeah! Sex after the sacrament of marriage (which would be nicer if you could get a papal blessing) and for the love of God as well as your spouse and your damn self! Amen to that!
Sex will be awarded to the most productive workers, and all progeny will be trained to inherit stations in the production line. Orifices will be provided in some machinery for general use during the five-minute daily breaks, though no sex may occur within 50 meters of open peanut butter vats.
B-Bob -- it's the last point there...about proximity to the vats...that i'm most relieved and excited about.
Our nations weren't built upon these things. Humans are flawed and our nation was set up based on protecting us from these flaws. I agree with B-Bob. I love our principles. You cannot have love without hate. I agree that hate is bad, but I truly believe that there is nothing we can do about it. It's human nature.
"Ladies and gentlemen, uh, we've just lost the picture, but what we've seen speaks for itself. The Corvair spacecraft has apparently been taken over- 'conquered' if you will- by a master race of giant space ants. It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive Earthman or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves."
