| You guys are so far to the left you can't even think clearly. When you see somebody that doesn't agree with you, you just resort to name calling and bully tactics. Classic liberal way of thinking. |
Hmm. Me thinks not. |

Sorry about that one 
I just couldn't help but pull a furgers!
(No offense jfurgers, I'm only kidding!)
Edited: Actually, now that I think about it I was not name calling at all. Only calling it as I see it.

I question his attack on "right-wingers" though, as his views appear to be veering slightly (!) to the right to me! (Not necessarily a bad thing). |
Thanks!
I try not to get into name calling. Sometimes I do, but I give my aplogize for it if I have done so in this thread. |

To Prof. Gringo (and JFurgers!)
Be yourself, don’t ride the wave
Of fashion, be it word or deed
Your sentiments are valid too
Go forth, and weaker minds concede
Posterity recalls the thinker
Passionate, with sturdy aim
Whose utterances are cast in concrete
Whose principles define his name
Be strong, and carve your niche with passion
Don’t follow,
Lead with fortitude
Although your deeds are oft derided
And well-meant words are misconstrued
Say what you think, don’t be diverted
Ignore prevailing, shallow thought
Stoke the furnace, forge your path
Of iron, from which great men are wrought.

What can I say? That was AWESOME! Thanks Phil!
BTW I have never gone so low as to tell another poster to go to hell or that they were going to hell as other posters did.
Anyways, no hard feelings (on my part). |
