I'd rather hear about her asshole surgery than Brown's latest fly fishing trip.

It is funny you say this because when I find people unpleasant to be around I avoid them. Yet ever since our little exchange you follow me like the plague. Every time I started a new thread you were one of the first to show up. I suggested that you go away before but as I remember it you told me I would have to get used to you.

The great thing about this board if you don't like someone's posts you can simply ignore them and not respond. If people find my posts so offensive they can ignore them. I know I ignore many people's posts.

You clearly don't like reading my posts. So here is a suggestion - don't. Why don't we just pretent that the other one doesn't exist? Then we can each go our merry way. Deal?

In an amoral world might is right. I don't believe in moral relativism so I don't believe in an amoral world. I believe right is right. If you are a moral relativist, by definition, then you believe might is right.

Spanky, this is the Politics Board. Your position will be more likely to be taken seriously if you throw in some gratuitous insults.

You don't get to tell me what to do or who to respond to. As I've said before, you are welcome to ignore me. But I choose not to ignore you. So sometimes I may reply to some of your assinine shit. If you have me on ignore, you won't notice it.

It is so 2003 to discuss who is on your ignore list anyway.

You said you found my posts unpleasant. I just don't get why you read them if you find them so unappealing. Of course you are free to do what you want, but if you find my posts so particularly heinous and yet you continue to read and respnd to them, your issues are more serious than I originally thought.

No. I don't. I believe morals are unique to different countries, cultures, etc.

Shades, my man. Life is all about shades. There are very few absolutes out there, particularly in an area like geopolitics. Trying to compartmentalize everything into black and white is a fool's errand.

You follow this algebraic "If X = y and Y = Z, then..." simplistic approach to an area of life to which formulas can't be applied.

And add an insult or two. We are here for entertainment, not preaching.

Do I have issues, too? I read all of Hank's posts.

When I reply to your posts, I do so for my own amusement. Sometimes Hank or Shifter may find them funny also. I am not generally replying for your edification. My one post this morning was the exception that proves the rule.

You just directly contradicted yourself. I was responding to an earlier post of yours where you said might is right. How are we supposed to take you seriously when you can't even keep your own opinions straight?

When did I say might is right?

I said in an Amoral world might is right. But I don't believe we live in an Amoral world.

How come you don't refer more to Star Trek episodes to back up your political arguments?

I had to bite my tongue to keep from mentioning the Prime Directive in regard to our relations with Cuba.

While my avatar does come from Star Trek, I am not a trekkie. Inispiration for my moniker comes from here: http://www.davidicke.com/icke/temp/reptconn.html I thought the Star Trek creature (called the Gorn) provided a pretty good representation of a reptilian humanoid. Now I'm sort of attached to it, after the tattoo and all.

Still think I have issues?

None that some heavy gauge speaker wire and a fifth of tequila won't cure.
