In the interest of full disclosure self-promoting imperialist TR was refused the Congressional Medal of Honor back when he lobbied for it, but was granted the medal by Bill Clinton.

They liked me fine. What you two are doing is known to psychology as "projection," which has a way of seldom being valid.

Don't indulge in it myself.

What's up your klacker today UG?

Urbane Guerrilla · 08-20-2006, 02:11 AM

I object to people being idiots, on principle -- particularly if they are not quite idiots to begin with. Do you mind, Aliantha?

xoxoxoBruce · 08-20-2006, 04:45 PM

That's funny, we feel the same way.

Aliantha · 08-20-2006, 06:41 PM

Object away UG. I'm not going to change me for you mate, so get over it or move on.

Perhaps if you remove the broomstick from your arse you may not feel quite so objectionable all the time.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-23-2006, 03:15 PM

I don't think there's much chance of UG changing, Aliantha....not even the broomstick.

Aliantha · 08-23-2006, 10:07 PM

That's a shame for him, and bad luck for the rest of us.

Urbane Guerrilla · 08-23-2006, 10:24 PM

So you're telling me that out of ego, you'd prefer to remain an idiot, or simulate one rather too precisely, just for fun?

I have different hobbies that I think are more worthwhile.

Aliantha · 08-23-2006, 10:43 PM

Why don't you go do them then?

Urbane Guerrilla · 08-23-2006, 11:37 PM

'Cos I'd rather guilt-trip you, of course! :p

Aliantha · 08-23-2006, 11:43 PM

Hmmm...what are you making me feel guilty about?

Aliantha · 08-29-2006, 06:05 AM

lol...well if your sneer is as good as Elvis' then I wouldn't mind too much...or even JD's come to think of it.

Maybe I should consider a career in comedy. Obviously I'm not entertaining you with my intellect.

Well, not that way, you're not. <shrug>

Neither you nor Bruce. I'm disappointed, rather, with Bruce. He's usually in better form, and usually able to acknowledge that I can't be confused with a Fascist.

Now Headsplice, why would you think I'd cite any of those as examples of what we might conveniently call E & E? Citing some failures to E & E hardly invalidates actually implementing such a policy, now does it?

xoxoxoBruce · 08-31-2006, 11:52 PM

Oh goodness, I didn't mean to imply you were a fascist....heavens, no.

I was just pointing out you have the same zeal and determination, to impose your views on the whole World, with as much force as necessary to grind any objections into the dirt with your jackboot, but not a fascist.

Lets see now, the difference is........hmm....
