30 years from now we will dig this thread up a laugh hysterically.

I would wish that my wand would never run out of wishes first of all, lets be real.

@captain:

Wow! Do women talk like that?
Yes Wittman, some of them do. They like to act all prim and proper, but some of them talk like that. If they think the book “Fifty Shades of Grey” is a good book…then they probably talk like that. Maybe not in pubic, but you and I would probably be astounded about the things they talk about when they’re going to the bathroom with each other.

It’s like the great Seinfeld line about gym class bullying, men give another wedgies and swirlies; women just tease other women until they develop a eating disorder.

That would be good for laughs…especially since it was you that started with something about a “man sitting in a chair shaking his fists in the air”

That would explain your unwarranted hostility towards me.  I was actually comparing you to Clint Eastwood, do you find that…that offensive?  If so I could compare you to a troll if that is more to your liking?

That’s review what I actually said and not what you heard me say for whatever reason.  I said:

Somehow I get this image of an old crusty white guy arguing with a chair and shaking his fists in the air…

If you would recall the image of Clint Eastwood arguing with a chair…that was the mental imagery I was trying to convey about a fictitious person saying Martin Luther King was Riff Raff.  I don’t mean to imply I think Clint Eastwood would say that about MLK, just the mental imagery he presented in that weird episode on stage with him and the empty chair.  Moreover, I don’t know what you look like nor anything about you so even if I was attacking you IL, it could not be personal in the way you are attacking me.  And you are attacking me personally and not my ideas on this forum.  What kind of liaison does that?

The proper usage of the word “Riff Raff” applies to people, not days.  Ergo it would be reasonable to think you were implying MLK was Riff Raff.  If that was the case then yes, you would remind me of an old crusty white guy shaking his fist at the changing world.

So back again to your incorrect usage of the English language and your unwarranted personal attacks on me based on my appearance of my photo which you in-correctly assumed showed a fat wife beating white guy driving a pickup truck.

I explained my thinking and reasoning on my comments.  I would appreciate hearing from you why you felt the need to resort to personal attacks based on appearance?

Doth protest too much

If someone apologizes and ask or insists that the oposing party should/must apologize as well, will propably become dubios of his apology in the first place,since we apologize out of our hearts and not for rewards!…

For anyone who may be interested in the Enterprise, of WWII fame at least, and her legacy, please read: The Big E by Edward Stafford.

Not only is it the best book on the Enterprise, but it is one of the best written books on WWII that I have ever read. I guarantee you will enjoy it.

I really wanted to like it but it was so compressed, I think the best scene is when that CGI plane blows up in the sky during the invasion. Was there a drop of blood in the whole movie that wasn’t from the deer? Not that I’m blood thirsty but this was a war movie.

This version will never be as good as MY Red Dawn back in the 80’s. The most dissapointing thing was waiting the 2 years when they were about to release it and followiing it on YouTube with bootleg footage and the fake trailers…humpf…I feel cheated. But, I found a blu ray copy of the original and it came with $7.50 off the price of a ticket so it only cost me $2.50 to watch so there Helmsworth! Put that towards your Malibu condo dude!

All true Red Dawn fans know this fact, It was the first ever rated PG-13 movie. In todays rating world, the orginal might have been rated R while this new version should have been Rated G.

Thanks for letting me vent fellas.

Yes there is a point.  That point is WHEN YOU WIN.

I’m sure Eisenhower would have stood trial and been executed had the allies lost the war.

Interesting that at this point there are 2 votes down.  I wonder if you had said “I’m sure Churchill would have stood trial and been executed had the allies lost the war.”  Would you still get two votes down?  Perhaps Roosevelt and Churchill were in the same category and Eisenhower being a military man is different.

I must confess I cried myself to sleep many a night when he was too busy with work to grace us with his presence. May it never happen again!

aequitas et veritas,

Quite profound.

I thought this would probably be the scene(s) out of the movie “We Were Soldiers Once” where the new recruit says “nice day” to the gruff old 'Trooper played by Sam Elliot.

Garg,

This is was what I like(?) about you. A serious statement or opinion wraped in your somewhat twisted humor.

The point gets across. I only hope large numbers of people view these and THINK about them. Hi5 to the ad agency. Â

You know what the saddest part is?

That was a shameless rip-off of a real story. And they couldn’t even make it as ridiculous as the real thing.

Whatever makes ´em happy…

@Cromwell_Dude:

Just saw Skyfall. Horrible movie. Bad script. Boring movie. Don’t waste your money.

You’re right, I was being to nice in my last post…. it sucked.

@ Tall Paul: No offence taken in any way, I just needed to state it  :-)

I am really happy that the lot of you steps up for FGM all the way and in fact, this has a very soothing effect on me which in turn helps me being more patient! I do know that one man can only work, breathe, live and stay mentally sane so much, even if a good intention is spoiled, that´s the disheartening truth and what makes me sad about this.
And just to let you and Jeremy know: Once this episode is over, I am thinking about buying a dice tray and some chips. They say, that once you have been through hell with your customer and came out in a way that both can keep their head held high, this is the real trust builder. Personal experience taught me that they are right :)

@Jeremy (if you ever read this): In my first anger, I have written some lines on Facebook and in another thread in this forum. Though they were not impolite, they certainly were not positive. I deleted both of them before anyone could reply, to not put more pressure on you than the circumstances demand and keep your reputation unharmed, as you certainly deserve it. The internet is a shark-pit and it never forgets, but sometimes I do. I apologize for not keeping my temper in check.

“The Doors”

Starring Val Kilmer, Directed by Oliver Stone, all by myself in an empty theater high on acid.

Awesome movie, awesome experience!

Prem #1 What if the debt held by B2 was in the form of stocks of A1.  A1 could depreciate their stock in exchange for benefits that would derive from the borrowed money from B2.  You in fact get all the benefits from the loan and screw the lender.

Prem #2 B2 never required use of your patents called ControlledShippingLanes.  Now B2 requires use of this patent which A1 has spent a great deal of money investing in ‘lawyers’ and ‘updated patent modifications’ in order to defend the ControlledShippingLanes patent that most western companies require use of. Now that B2 now requires a ‘license’ to use the ControlledShippingLanes patent for various things, A1 now finds itself in a great position.

It does make for an interesting movie premise doesn’t it?

This is basically entirely to Cromwell_Dude

Cromwell_Dude, I was baptised Anglican but take the Bill Maher approach to religion currently so I am not backing any religion against any religion.

I note that you repeatedly used the spelling Moslem.  It tells me you have rather biased opinion and are looking for facts to support your view, perhaps I am wrong.

Why Do People Say Muslim Now Instead of Moslem?
http://hnn.us/articles/524.htm

From this I quote

A Muslim in Arabic means"one who gives himself to God," and is by definition, someone who adheres to Islam. By contrast, a Moslem in Arabic means"one who is evil and unjust" when the word is pronounced, as it is in English, Mozlem with a z.

To me that is rather inflammatory rhetoric and has little if any room for an enlightened discussion forum as this is.  Cromwell you say this"

The Christian Crusades were defensive holy wars by mostly sincere Christians against an enemy of rape, pillage, and murder.

So the rest of the world especially the middle east have it all wrong?  I suspect the reason why crusader is such a dirty word in the middle east is because bad things happened when they showed up.  Lets say for argument sake the Crusaders really were great nice folks.  How do we convince those who think otherwise they are wrong?  By calling them evil, hateful, rapists who love war?

Religion and Politics for good reason are topics to avoid during parties, particularly when there are guns and booze around.

I think we are mature enough here that these topics and be talked about if we all respect the others point of views and beliefs.  Frimmel and  LHoffman impressed me with their ability to agree to disagree.  The only reason I came to this thread is that you raised it from the dead so to speak.
