Hey, you're the one who said drinks wouldn't help.

I do it too. I do feel kind of shallow, but oh well.

Don't worry. Your cervix is normal depth. It's my length.

FWIW, I knew instantly that it was you and not Sebby on this post.

You feel shallow when you're being personable? I kind of enjoy it.

It feels good at the time. Afterwards, I feel weird and kind of dirty.

Every person I've met here has been polite, charming and normal. The anonymity of the board allows people to be lunatics, but when looking someone in the eye, and interaccting with them personally, I am certain everyone behaves appropriately.

I'm usually a lot more drunk off-board than on-board when I interact with GAs. Maybe not as nice, but a lot more friendly.

See, I read it and concluded that the author is in favor of spreading democracy, but believes that the U.S. has pursued specific policies that are counterproductive to that end. I feel that way, as does Sullivan.

After reading the above quote were standing by your above statement?

That statement strikes me as ignorant, absurd and bigoted.

Maybe if you substitute the word Human Rights with democracy you might finally see the obvious.

" Human Rights are something a nation has to want, something a nation has to want so much they will shed blood for it. And the Arab world wants Human Rights as much as they want a hole in the head. They don't get it, they don't care to get it and it seems to be making life particularly shitty for their Iraqi brothers."
Maybe we're talking past each other, but I don't understand how it's necessarily ignorant, absurd or bigoted to observe that people in Yemen seem to care about other things -- e.g., Arab nationalism, or their religious beliefs -- more than democracy. Is it bigoted to point out that the revolution in Iran did more to advance Islam than democracy? Of course not. Do you think that was just bad luck? Because the hard-line candidate favored by the mullahs just won the last election.

I get the reverse feeling. I genuinely like talking to people. And you're right - I like it when people like me. But doesn't everyone? Aren't we all sort of hams? What other kind of person would think an entire board of people would be interested in his/her quips? The only time I get bummed is when I'm not interacting with people. Hence, so many years of vitriol against the aspects of this career which chain one to a desk in an office.

You're probably one of the friendliest even tempered people here. I don't see how there could be much distinction.

ETA: I really want you to like me also...

Heh. I'm just saying that I'm a really friendly drunk, too.
