A disgusting vat of filth that no self-respecting intelligent person would wade into.

ARTICLE ON AMT GORDIAN KNOT

So, Burger says keep the AMT, eliminate the regular tax. Add a couple of deductions to the AMT if we must, like state taxes.

Of course, financing that would be a bear as well.

Wow. Thoughful. Balanced. Not overtly proovocative or offensive for the sake of offense. You're certainly right. Some of us have really strayed.

Why, Hank, why?

It was satire, and in response to charges that the Israelis were equally, if not more at fault than the Palis. "for the sake of offense?" what the fuck?

Stuff about borders

For me, the most interesting question is less about any particular border dispute (there's an interesting offer on the table from Pakistan to India on their border dispute) or state-in-formation, but, rather, whether the mono-linguistic nation state is still on the rise or in decline. There is evidence of both, and there are big parts of the world, like the middle east, where the Western model nation state has never really taken.

Every time you respond, Hank just fills the board with more of the same. You're feeding the troll.

Hank is not a troll. While I may disagree with his position on some issues, his posts are usually designed to try and make the reader think about an issue in a different way. You may not like the way that he conveys the message, however that does not make it trollish behavior.

What the fuck? Do I really need to search for and paste in all your "when you liberals surrender to the Arabs" posts? And that's just for starters. Do you really expect anyone to believe that posts like that are an honest attempt to stimulate dialog?

I was actually referring more to your Juan the Marine post. The Passover post I diplomatically avoided commenting on because the main thing that caught my attention there was the glaring historical inaccuracy.

It is clear to me that Hank's posts are questioning Slave's and Ty's leadership at a point when we should all be rallying around them. The incessant, neverending, reptitious and redundant spew of pro-Infirmation posts has no effect other than comforting the enemy. Hank takes delight in every little stumble that Slave or Ty may make - can you imagine anyone criticizing the way FDR ran WWII in the same way.

Enough of this unAmerican behavor. You are either with America or you are with Hank and the Troll Terrorists everywhere.

I don't believe that Hank wrote that Blue Triangle post about meeting the marine, etc., etc. Instead, I believe that when Hank read that post, he specifically created the Juan the Marine sock, and hilarity ensued. However, I could be mistaken on my recollection.

That was blue triangle*, the real one, not me. I just thought it an interesting historical note.

You have decide if we do like each or, and trust each other not to do shit that's too wrong, or we don't like each other.


*someone stole bt here, but that post was the real deal.

no. they are a reaction to the "the President lied to get us into Iraq- here's proof!!!!" they are no more trollish. the bush basing is nothing more that Penske's Hillary photoshops, just lacking in visuals.

As I recall, the flounders at Infirm got paid (hi Less).

All me, RT, Ruysbrook, Leagle and EO got out of this place was a headache - and a few threatened lawsuits.

When someone buys me a drink, maybe "fixing this place" will become a higher priority than say, removing the sock lint from my big toe.

2. I'm fucking sick and tired of complaints about this board. If ya'll like infirm so much, go back there.
