That means "humbled" for you kids under 20 years of age. I would explain sarcasm... but i don't have any interest. So go suck eggs. That is about what your generation can do with aplomb and penache.
I would like to be the first to say that I am in no way offended by SVW's filthy potty mouth. True, I think it should be slapped and washed out with soap. But I am in no way offended.
Seriously SVW, I hope things start looking up for ...[text shortened]... s. What's done is done I'm afraid.
Good day to you sir.

No SVW, I'm a mature person. Not as old as you, but I've got plenty of life experience. Is it really so difficult for you to take the other side for a moment, to think objectively by reasoning on both sides of an important issue? Try it. You might like it.
Oh, I thought of something we have in common. I too was denied military service, in this case because of a surgically repaired vertabrae, injured in a high school football game. It was a rotten deal, but I sure am a different person than I would've become. And I'm pretty happy with who that is.
Care for a game SVW? The only condition is an agreement to remain within the bounds of normal social acceptability. Nah, I'm just kidding man. Say whatever you want.

Are you implying that, with the proper amount of wit, one should be able to envision "funny crap?"
Originally posted by StarValleyWyProduce YOUR logical argument, and I shall retort. Fair enough?

Originally posted by BookwormNo. I don't play chess. It implies skill. In reality it is the ability to see locations and positions. It is just as inherited as math. I'm no good at it, so why pretend?

Yea, I can feel the SAME AS YOU on that. So what "Other Side" are we talking about? What important issue?
I might like it. You might too.
So what is this big issue?
Question. Are you a "better" PERSON than you might have become?
I don't know. I feel like I can lead legions. But not bow to single ideas.
What did you want to do? In the Military? I wanted to lead the nation's armed forces. That is a vision I had from the time I was about eight years old. They said I couldn't because of a skin disease. Go figure. I think I would have been good. I know how to fight. That is what is required. ® MilitaryMike ©
Originally posted by BookwormOk. My logical argument is that there are good and evil in the world. Those who are "defenseless" are to be protected at "all cost". Those who "have killed" or "will kill" for a cause are to be destroyed. Didn't take long to answer cause I've thought of it for fifty years.

Your turn.
anticipating your response... as per Patton... "A Cause that is not our Cause is bullshit!"
To tell you the God's honest truth, I was considering trying to become a medic in the army. I also considered going into army police service and going to school for criminal justice to eventually work for the FBI or something like that. That was twelve years ago. A lot sure has happened since then. I'm definitely a different person. I don't know if I'm a better person 'per se' than what I could have been, but I am who I am. I think I've grown at least a little comfortable with that fact over the past year or so. I mean, I've accepted it. It was a rough road up to that point though, I'll tell you.
I'm no grand master either. Sometimes, when two people with dubious chess skills tangle, the result is a worthy struggle. So, send me a game.
Originally posted by BookwormI don't do chess. It is a challenge to my monkey skills that I can't reconcile.

I can feel for the wish to be a part of something and having them say "no thanks". That hurts. It was all I ever dreamed of. But I have gone on. I did manage to build over 2400 houses and much more as a door remodeler. It is just a damned shame. I really feel that my true purpose in life was to lead the nation in battle. Go Figure. Stupid Vision. I'm 56 now. It can't happen. But I would be proud to go out front if called upon. I don't fear death. It was an ugly demon that I killed when I was ten.

This is where all patriots can help. The CIA have put up a site on the web with a secure on line form when you can report chemical, biological and nuclear weapons! Check under your bed because there is a big reward. Blair and Bush said they were there and, by golly, they must be still around somewhere.

Originally posted by StarValleyWyWho decides what is "evil" and what constitutes the "good"? This is an easy question to answer: Those who have the power and resources define what is "good." It is very easy to give extreme examples of these two sides, but there is an infinite expanse of grey in between.

You say that those who have killed or will kill (do we have some kind of 'Minority Report' system I'm not aware of?) for a cause are to be destroyed. Yet you press for a cause: The defenseless should be protected at all costs.
These statements don't jive . . .
