"what the hell is there to stop and think about???"


*About what 'you' (as Flint) can do, will do, would do, should do.

Now, if your thinking leads you to look at editing others, then have at it: just don't be surprised when those others resist the editing. I don't get the appeal of fixing the other (especially when the other may not view him- or her-self as broken), but as you like.

If, like me, your thinking leads you to a keener sense of your 'self' and how you can self-depend, -defend, -define, and -motivate, then good on you!

Hey, even if your thinking leads you to the quixotic job of addressing the culture (an entity as real as ghost farts) then, have at it!

My point: whatever it is 'you' do, it ought to be for reasons you suss out for yourself (or not...**frankly, I don't give a shit what you do...just stay the hell away from me).










*thinking is best done with a closed mouth, alone; not in the midst of a crowd, jabbering away

** as I say up-thread: I have mine and I have no interest in giving it up, so what the rest of you ***folks do (about guns) either makes my life easier or harder but in no way truly stymies me...the Law is ass (kick it or ride it: never obey it)

***I don't care what president, congress, supreme court (or any one else) has to say on the matter...I'm equally indifferent to the machinations of both pro- and anti-gun folks

Thou doest protest too loudly.

Separation is most easily obtained by "self-leaving".

henry, you seem upset. I am sorry that you are having unpleasant feelings, and I hope you feel better soon.

"Separation is most easily obtained by "self-leaving"."

Why should I do such a thing?

Besides: I'm not stuck here with 'you'; you're all stuck here with 'me'.

Get used to it.

"you seem upset"

A picayune assessment based on nuthin': obvious diversion.

I expected no better.

We'll never have an itty-bitty government at this rate! Spend, spend. That's always their solution.

Irony, it's what's for dinner. And midnight snack. Maybe a quick breakfast.

NRA chief: If putting armed police in schools is crazy, 'then call me crazy'

Well... There you have it.

Quote:
(CNN) -- The National Rifle Association made clear Sunday it will not budge on its opposition to any new gun laws, despite heated criticism of the organization's response to the Connecticut school massacre.
I understand it's all about lobbying but their rhetoric makes it sound like they are the ones who decide what the laws are going to be.

Of all of the leaders of 'mainstream' political organizations in the US, I've always considered LaPierre to be the most batshit crazy. He's like the Ahmadinejad of the 501's.

Maybe the NRA should swap leadership with NAMBLA. At least then it would be in their best interests to stop the massacre of children.

It was said modestly. That anyone can live as long as you have and not recognize the difference is disconcerting. Lamplighter, not one brain left in his poor old head. Maybe Santa will bring you one!

Went to the range today with my son and daughter to do some shooting. Place was absolutely packed! Not sure if paranoia or holiday time off was the reason.

They had nowhere else to go. The local mental hospital had just had to discharge them all, because of funding cuts.

Sexobon has been insulting people across multiple threads, and not in the poke-fun-at-you way. Apparently, if you don't agree with him, you're broken.

Hey! They didn't discharge me, I was only out on a holiday pass.
