As for your permission for another person's thoughts and actions and behaviors, when you say shit like "I won't allow it", you just crack me up. The complete ridiculousness of such hubris makes most of the rest of what you say equally unbelievable.

I will not allow you to be stupid. Stupid people cannot function as people should function. V, you are being a shmuck. I do not dumb down for you, for UT, for God Almighty. That is simply too far beneath me. If it is not beneath you, all I can say is your intellectual standards aren't high enough.

Read good writing; think smart thoughts. The man who complains at this has no part with me. Do not beg me to descend to whatever level of mediocrity you find comfortable. It is too cramped for me.

That's very smart, and not at all wise.

To his credit, he starts off forbidding behavior of someone who live thousands of miles away, and then a bit later he admits that all he can really do is say their standards are too low. So he does show awareness of his impotence.

UG is impotent? Can he get it up?

It is not wise to accept the too-cramped, either. Too limiting.

And too-limited seems something you'd like for me.

Shame on you, then.

Rise to my level even if you don't or can't believe. You will like it here.

UG, You remind me of a homeless beggar who believes he has more freedom than the average Joe because he has no mortgage and no employer. I'm glad you enjoy your posts.

Excuse me... did you mean to say "Bill Clinton won the Bosnian War "?

classicman · 09-18-2010, 12:59 PM

Hey I was trying to do a little research on some past US engagements. Does anyone here know by chance who won the war in Bosnia?
