#176. To: Mekons4 (#175)
lol - i'm a longtime liberal too - i think most of the people here know that. how funny, maybe w really is a uniter, except i don't think the intention was to unite people against him. i've never been a supporter of big government. i do believe in helping people, but helping them get on their feet, not carrying them forever. you know, teaching a man to fish, that sort of thing. i like it here cause i feel like if i hang out somewhere like du, i'm not gonna get any fresh perspective. i like finding things in common with people who haven't shared my ideology for years and years. i agree with you about all the things we absolutely have to do, but have no idea how to do. the first step is identifying the problem, right? second step is shedding the labels and realizing we're all in this together. if liberals and true conservatives can find common goals, we may just make the people currently in power irrelevant. and that would be cool.
Yeah, I didn't mean to imply you were a conservative. I was just riffing on how nice it is to see good people come back. We CAN solve this mess, but we have to totally discredit these creeps. There is no way we can say, well, they had a point. They did not. The reason we got attacked was not that they envied what we have, as the Bushies like to say, but because they hate us for supporting Israel, subverting the Saudis and supporting their fascist regime, and basically telling them they are savages. I have friends who are Palestinian and Lebanese. They were so gung ho at the beginning of the war, because they really thought we would bring democracy to Iraq. Yeah, right. That is not our intent and no one sane believes it. Our intent it is to stabilize the oil market, which is not evil in and of itself. But to kill 100,000 people, most of the civilians? That is not what real Americans do. Oh, and DU drives me nuts too. I use their LBN page because it has some good stuff, but I avoid most of the other content. If you admit you like a steak once in a while, you will get called a mass murderer. Both sides have bad actors, but no one at DU is as bad as the average person at FRetard City. Happy to see you here, Kiki.
Thanks for the invite. It's late but I'll be back. 8^)
Thank you for the invitation, I feel so privilidged!! Oh, I fucked that up didn't I? LOL Thanks, this should be fun!!
So this is where everyone who really matters is hanging out! Hey guys! Nice place ya got here! &;-D
Well, I'll be damned! Property values just went up here AGAIN! Welcome, 2T. Haven't seen you since my days at TOS(wherever) when I was living in Arlen, Texas...
OK, I have a site support idea. We need the digital equivalent of a "swear jar" except it'll be used for "that name." Every time someone speaks it, it costs them a buck. That guy is so universally despised and ridiculed that this place will be MAKING money in no time.
Are you talking about the Cocktail Weenie?
That'd be him. Vague reference costs 50 cents. ;)
Thank you SamG .. so nice to see familiar handles. Guess when you're on the net as long as us "olde dogs", we are bound to run into each other again. That is, iffin' we live that long! &;-)
That is good.
I love the photo.
Morning Kiki, welcome.
No one tell TLBSHOW. LOL!!
If available, I'd like the fourth one from the left just because.
WOW! My partner in crime! Hello Cagey! &;-)
Thank you ... I love graphics, they're so much fun.
Yup, true, and I lay around on a lotta porches these days. ;) I tried to remember when I got online, and I think it was within two weeks of the Murrah bombing in April 1995, and thats' coming fast upon 10 years ago. Even still, I'm a rookie compared to some. Where's that classic graphic you had about the lady holding the internet monitor saying "all my friends live in here!!"
I hope life has been good to you! "Where's that classic graphic you had about the lady holding the internet monitor saying "all my friends live in here!!" Hahaha! I remember that one now ... can't tell you where it went though ... that was several computers and hard drives ago.
That is a good name. There is no reason we couldn't adopt it. Just reserve com, org and net like we did for tos4. I can kick in for this. Keep tos4 on, just have it bring up a page with an href to the new name. Have an explanation on the page that the name is in the process of being changed. We could later use tos4 as some sort of sub forum.
Understood...I used to laugh at people w/ laptops, until I bought one and damn, I thought I was net addicted BEFORE? I don't know how people live without 'em. You could sell every TV and dvd player in the house and it'd be weeks before I'd miss 'em, but I know if the laptop has been moved an inch. :) "Real" hobbies are just so time consuming, and you have to dress and leave the house.
I thought about "Free4all" too, but I think it might get misunderstood...
How about "The Vienna Sausage that Dares not Speak it's Name"? The Oscar Wilde gay overtones are a nice touch considering who we are talking about.
LOL ... I recently set up a new domicile and left the teevee behind. Don't miss it one bit, but would enjoy the cooking channel and Discovery type stuff. Otherwise you are right ... hobbies. The net is just a hobby. I've been thinking about getting a tablet PC ... mostly for work though. Have you had any experience with them?
Be sure to check out the reconditioned lap top stores in your area. Like Mr. Laptop in San Antonio. I picked up a really great reconditioned IBM Think Pad for $350. After I bought a huge ram for it it ran great. The internal wifi radio is better than any of the desk top stuff I've ever bought.
Thanks for the tip. There are bargains out there for sure ... it's just finding the time to track them down.
Nope, I bought a Dell Latitude that a friend of mine rebuilt and tweaked w/ extra ram and a larger hard drive. It does just fine for most things.
And we did so good on our last heist. Ahhhhh, the good ol' days.
I recently purchased a laptop for travel. And, I got my daughter one as a Christmas gift. Do make sure you get a wi-fi ready laptop as they are so easy to use for a connection. My daughter is "borrowing" the signal from a neighbor which is quite the thrifty thing to do. LOL
hi y'all and welcome to 4. we've got a new look coming soon. you really are NOT at LP2. ;)
LOL..what a great idea!
welcome to 4. we've got a new look coming soon. you really aren't at 2. ;)
I've heard of that. I have a "wired" ethernet card, but the wireless ones are cheap, I just didn't wanna buy the router to go along with. Do you just pick up the signal like a TV antenna or does it take special software? I already have cable internet, but it'd be nice to be able to catch something "on the skip" when I'm away from home on the laptop. :D
Nope, I'm on the Holodeck with Seven of Nine. These sinus meds must be kicking in...
and it's not free 4 all. no statists or others of that type are welcomed.
Thanks for the welcome, Christine. The site seems to refresh and searches very quickly. Good Luck!
what do you guys think of grabbing the name Freedom4um?
No special software if you are using XP. I'm not sure about earlier Windows versions. As for catching connections on the skip, you can find free "Hot Spots" by doing a google search using "free hot spots", or I hear this a small portable device (about the size of a pen" that will tell you when you are in range of a signal and the newer ones will even tell you which signals are "open" with no need for a password.
I know, I was goin for the wise-ass remark ;)
Already this morning the person who is not to be named on this site has done the following: 1. Denied that Tommy Franks ever said that Douglas Feith "is the stupidest fucking guy on the face of the earth", because it wasn't in the book he wrote. "Bottom line is Franks never once mentioned anything remotely close to this" 2. Congratulated Crystalk for having a concise accurate picture of what is going on in Iraq. Their concern is only because it is a threat to their OWN HEGEMONY over the United States of America. Iraq's success in its fledgling democracy is very good news for all the Christians in the world and for all decent men and women of goodwill everywhere. "I think you have a very concise, accurate picture of how things are. " 3. Congratulated another bot: Yes, and this was most certainly worth 1,300 American lives. Yes. It was. "Yes, their deaths were not in vain, unlike St Kennedy and LBJ's war in Vietnam." 4. Refused to tell an 86 year old WWII vet (blackhorse) who or what FU is: Ask somebody else Why? Is FU a secret organization that you can not tell me what the FU site is? "Nope, I just have no interest in discussing wacko's that ran away from the truth, as the "FU Clan" did two years ago." Honestly, you can't make stuff like this up. We simply must have a thread dedicated to what this moron says in the space of 10 minutes. The above is only a small sampling just from this morning!
That's why I had to move ... I couldn't stand it when it rained!
