Well, DTS, you're a good man. Far more benevolent than most. And though it can be mildly amusing, the one-trick act does get old.

S2S,
Luckily, both you and I can easily see through that tactic.
No, it's not amusing.
As I previously said, it's bankrupt.
Could it be construed as "cute"?
Maybe to a pretender that seeks to justify or distract.
Can we change the topic to talk about the gender of a respondent poster?
HMMMMM.......
Point made.
Cajun got it partially right. I saw it all the time, whether it was 3rd graders or 5th graders.
Honestly, it really was only the best they could do.
Bullies on the playground...?
They always back down.
Always.
Their needs are to find self esteem not through the power of their mental abilities but rather from the intimidation of their physical self image.
It only works until the sixty pound weakling stands up and says, "Go ahead".
Does the bully know that the 60 pounder is a third degree blackbelt?
Up to him to find out.
Just like it was up to Dubya to find out in a different situation.
Micro or macro, it's all the same.
Is it "tail between the legs time" yet?
I hope so.
HOOO RAH!

btw...I'm not a "good man", just an honorable one.

gone a few weeks...and his first post back, he labels me a racist again.

Unreal....

hard to believe you are a grown man Wayne.

excellent point!

For the love of God, boys, stop squabbling about the property tax and schools thing; it was me. And yes, as best I can find, 40 percent of school funding comes from local sources like property taxes, so in fact I must be paying something in my taxes towards schooling (which I am not in the least unhappy to be doing). But it doesn't take away from my original point in that thread, which was that schools in rich areas get more money because of higher property taxes than schools in poor areas and that makes poor schooling in poor areas a vicious cycle. Sakes alive, people, let it go! Some folks on here get so set on proving a trivial point they completely ignore the point of the original argument.

(Please note the use of "they" was correct as "people" is plural.)

Now, can we get away from all the snarking and back to how Bush and Co. fired a bunch of lawyers for not being suitably partisan? :)

And, on women inventors:

"Mystery Inventors

We'll probably never know how many women inventors there were. That's because in the early years of the United States, a woman could not get a patent in her own name. A patent is considered a kind of property, and until the late 1800s laws forbade women in most states from owning property or entering into legal agreements in their own names. Instead, a woman's property would be in the name of her father or husband.

For example, many people believe that Sybilla Masters was the first American woman inventor. In 1712 she developed a new corn mill, but was denied a patent because she was a woman. Three years later the patent was filed successfully in her husband's name."

Play that funky music white boy. Yes. I cant believe I find myself liking Scuds.

I cannot stand liars. We are so tolerant of people purposely misleading tolerant/good natured folks it makes me sick.

Scuds is good people Dr. P. I think you underestimate him.

a racist who loves TEH GAYZ!

yeah...imagine that huh B?

only the white ones though.

Well, actually -- since that last post I reconsidered.

I realized that my point was moot because I had briefly forgotten about my other 12 racist friends who called to wish me a happy birthday on Saturday.

Who knew?

Man I missed a lot of excitement during the move? YOU? I would've never thought.

But there's no way I can get toghether with you now this weekend.:p

Thats fine....Erin and I will have fun without you:D :D

Looking forward to seeing you Saturday.

Yeah, she's racist....you two will be fine.
:eek:

LMFAO:D


FYI: I have a table for 3 reserved at Taco Bell. They were hard to come by, but I pulled a few strings:cool:

SWEET! I'm stoked....all my dreams are coming true.

Damn, I miss all of the excitement. Bill and Kev in the same Taco Bell together? I hope the toilets there are happier than mine was last night! :eek:

Yep...he and Erin are coming to town this weekend. Looking forward to finally meeting them on Sat. night.
