Built your son that tree house yet? I don't quite follow your logic. You're no longer in Korea or in ESL. You're working as a trucker. You have a wife and child. But you spend your time doing battle with people thousands of miles away, engaging in school yard antics ("The Kimchipot sucks and Chiaa-Punk is a paranoid meanie!").
You've claimed you're doing this to protect your child from future scum bags, although I'm certain there are things you can do with your time that will more directly, positively affect and protect your child. Doesn't LA have sexual predators? Maybe you could work to keep them behind bars.
Let it go. Be with your family. Korea is behind you. Sorry people here made you feel small. |
well said, bill needs to get a friggin life instead of trolling this site.
then again hes been banned from all the big sites |
Thanks for caring.
But my hobbies are my own concern.
Blogging sure beats hanging out at message parlors in Thailand.
By the way, luv the fact that you guys brought back the mongers section.
I see some fertile ground in the future. |
Let it go. You're acting like the guy who graduated high school but keeps hanging out outside of his old high school, in his rocked out car, trying to re-live his high school days. Why do you keep trying to re-fight all these battles? I would like to think the demands of raising a boy, working, and doing good for a wife would occupy my time.
Spend time with your boy. You call this a hobby but is this a hobby you would sit down with your boy and enjoy together? "Look, son, see how I make fun of these guys banging prostitutes? When you grow up, don't bang prostitutes."
"Daddy, what does 'Shaving my beanbag' mean?"
"Well, son, some men like to shave their ball sack."
"Daddy, what's a ccksucker?"
"It's a man who places another man's tinkle in his mouth."
You're doing nothing profitable here or on your site for your family. You already have people threatening to harass your wife on the phone. These are pathetic individuals, certainly. And you have claimed you're big enough to deal with them and I have no doubt you're capable of dealing with them offline. But did you ask your wife? Does she deserve even one phone call from some psycho you've stirred up? Is she capable of handling that?
Find a real hobby and be a real man. |
I am really worried about my wife! That phone call could spell her doom!
The next thing you know, she'll be doing splits on the bed for free blog time.
I'll work on that being a man thing. By the way, how was class today? Did you give the kiddies a star for saying apple properly?
All I did today was drive two massive spools down a hurricane ravaged road with bayous on both sides. Damn! I feel like such a puss. I really just want to cry, but the tears make my mascara run.
I wish I could be manly like you. |
Did you just say that a driving a truck is a step up from teaching? |

It really depends on the type of trucking.
I first started as an otr guy hauling chemicals--real dangerous stuff. Hell, I almost set my brakes on fire going down the Grapevine in California. That's scary stuff.
But I was only bringing home about 900 a week after taxes.
You really don't make good money till you own your own stuff.
But you could also go bankrupt owning your own stuff--just like any other business.
It all goes back to my brilliant Wildebeast Theory. You can't win for losing. All you can do is try to get some enjoyment out the ride. |

Nothing in the world connects the notions that these forums are too full of hate-mongering conservative bigots and not enough types of the reasonable, tolerant, liberal mindset - on the one hand - and the concepts of hating people because they are foreigners.
You, sir, are high. Now, I generally respect that quality in people I hang with, but to exhibit it while pretending to engage in a rational discussion in public is, well, embarassing for all of us.
My opinions are simply that, my opinions and mainly my own. Deal with it. Or not. Your choice. |

(numbers are mine)
1. I totally agree that there are not enough types of people here with a "reasonable, tolerant" mindset. Some conservatives are guilty of it. However the majority of liberal types I have seen on here do not demonstrate it either.
2. Sorry to disappoint but I was stone cold sober. Try it sometime. As for "to exhibit it while pretending to engage in a rational discussion in public.." YOU have done that, several times and admitted it as well. Yes it is embarassing. Pot-...cough...kettle?
3. In the thread entitled "Babylon Rises Again" you stated that you didn't really care about Iraqis or Afghans dying, in fact the major complaint you had about it was that it made America's reputation suffer. That is not reasonable, tolerant, or liberal. |

As an American, I see nothing unreasonable about caring a lot about my country's reputation. For you, as a Canadian, to support a war that hurts my country while your own does such a paltry amount over there that the hurt you will feel yourself is ridiculous to consider ... this is what I consider unreasonable.
Don't get me started. I have no time for Canadians, Kiwis or Aussies or even Brits who ask for this war to continue when any sane human can see the damage it's doing to the US and the potential it has for more ...
And the idea that such people as myself who care about the future wellness of his own country for these reasons ought to be accused of a lack of patritiotsm ... this is mostly an occasion for sad sort of mirth due to the lack of clarity and logic it displays.
Okay, I'm through laughing at you, and after the laughter there is only an odd sort of sad disgust. Try to talk sense, or please go away from me. |

I am liberal and I love Christmas. What I hate is the fact that if you put up freaking Christmas tree every other whiny a$$ religion whines about what about a Menorah (which are beutiful and I do understand the meaning). What about a wiccan whatever. Hey we are atheists and we don't want to see your ol' tree. My answer STFU and let people have a moment of joy and happiness.
I hate all the P.C. Crap. Well what about us poor muslims and atheists and wiccans and blah blah blah. Yeah I am not into putting nativity scenes in schools. That makes sense. But a christmas tree...get the f over it. Very few people really understand the significance so if a school or city hall wants to decorate for christmas so freaking what. Alot of Christmas trees in public places are frequently decorated with cards so you can give a gift to a child who might have nothing for christmas.
Many organizations provide Christmas boxes and help for the poor. Haven't seen to many others doing that. Don't see the wiccans lined up for that duty.
If you don't like christmas don't celebrate it. Plain and simple but like it or not America was founded by mainly Christians...We like Christmas and lets not fool ourselves there really isn't that much talk about Christ except at church.
I had a christmas tree in my class room along with fairy lights and the decorated the windows with christmas stockings and other such things. No religious stuff but my kids were enthralled and loved it.
I will never for the life of me understand all the whining. Some of this PC crap needs to stop and stop now. Life is short. And by God fairy lights and Christmas trees make it a little nicer. Not to mention Chocolate Easter eggs.
So quit your Bi tching and get on with life.

Liberals believe in something called "tolerance." We don't hate real Christians. We hate extremists. Extremists are people who kill others for the sheer joy of killing non-Christians. They call themselves "crusaders," we call them murderers. They invade the middle east because it is the "Holy Land" and it is occupied by infidels [Muslims]. They kill all infidels, even innocent children.
I hate Bush and Cheney but I also hate Al Qaeda. Why? Well, Al Qaeda is a Sunni Muslim organization that spends much of its time killing Shiites. Yes, Muslims killing Muslims. How can they claim to be a Muslim organization?
Similarly, Otis seems to be flying a terrorist flag in his avatar. Fake christians who kill other christians. I saw this "Ulster" thing and I looked it up on Wikipedia.
Wikipedia says:
The Ulster Army Council (or UAC) was set up in 1973 as an umbrella group by the Ulster Defence Association and the Ulster Volunteer Force to co-ordinate joint paramilitary operations during the Loyalist strike. Andy Tyrie was the head of the group - and was also the then commander of the Ulster Defence Association.
The following groups along with the UDA and UVF were members of the Ulster Army Council, the Orange Volunteers, Down Orange Welfare, Ulster Special Constabulary Association, Ulster Volunteer Service Corps and Red Hand Commandos.
The main aim of the group was to set-up a Loyalist army of around 20,000 men to take control of Northern Ireland if necessary, to prevent any attempt of the re-Unification of Ireland, in which the group planned to seize control of Northern Ireland and declare an Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI). The group was replaced by the Ulster Loyalist Central Co-ordinating Committee (ULCCC) after the 1974 Ulster Workers' Council Strike. |

Here's a song I got off a Christian website. It seems to me that it perfectly expresses a LIBERAL viewpoint. So, if this is Christian stuff, I like it. I wish Bush and Cheney would give it a listen.
ONE TIN SOLDIER
(The Legend of Billy Jack)
words and music by Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter
Copyright � 1969 by ABC / Dunhill Music, Inc.
Listen children to a story that was written long ago
'bout a kingdom on a mountain and the valley folk below.
On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone,
and the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own.
Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of heaven, justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowin' come the judgment day
on the bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away.
So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill
asking for the buried treasure, tons of gold for which they'd kill.
Came an answer from the kingdom: "With our brothers we will share
all the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there."
Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of heaven, justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowin' come the judgment day
on the bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away.
Now the valley cried with anger; mount your horses, draw your sword,
and they killed the mountain people, so they won their just reward.
Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain, dark and red,
turned the stone and looked beneath it. "Peace on earth" was all it said.
Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of heaven, justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowin' come the judgment day
on the bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away. |

This board is filled with liberals. Someone enlighten me. |
It's ok if you want to be rude. I'm used to it. |
Do you mean Jesus's so-called birthday, or Chistmas that has to do with Santa and being nice to each other?
I ignore the former, and whole-heartedly embrace the latter.
Hope that doesn't offend you Otis. |

Nah, just with stupid Christians.
The non-stupid ones always fly under the radar so they never get mentioned. I guess being ignored is what happens when you're not running around wearing a t-shirt that claims "god hates fags" |

Well, thanks for the backhanded compliment.
I think my greatest accomplishment was helping to run you and your buddies out of mod-town.
People can finally breathe again. And occasionally have an intelligent conversation. |
