Where do you live?
Boring, ideological, and not well reasoned- other than that, and being spoken at a right wing religious school, rather inspired drivel.
Fortunately, I read quickly, so you only owe me a couple of minutes worth of face punching. |

Tiger Beer and Desultude:
Those are really cool avatars.
As for the McCain speech:
Standard boilerplate. Pretty much what I'd expect to hear from a politician at a convocation. |

I want a couple punches for having read this thread.
Thanks for the synopsis, if correct. (Don't like to assume.) And, if correct, "Alas, poor McCain, we loved thee well." |

which parts did u like? just curious.
i didn't see much in the speech except the Darfur/Rwanda and Osama being against U.S. intervention in genocide situations - which I've never heard before in any other speech or media outlet. |
