I'll agree with that, then the Emancipation Proclamation should've had a "board the next boat back to Africa" clause. I mean, that was Lincoln's original intent was to repatriate blacks back into Africa, Liberia, or some other colony.

Oh no. There is nothing coming to me, nor do I care about past afflictions upon a long, sundered and divided people. We're not hyphenated anything or must we always identify ourselves with who did what to who and why, how, when, and for what reason. Explain.

First of all, I wouldn't want to know a man who wouldn't want to make babies on Patricia Heaton's face. Second, I lost my train of thought. Given the fukken givens, I should've been an engineer.

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism. All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A. After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little. The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. Could not be any simpler than that! $3,400,000,000,000.00

That ain’t a possibility, wez. No more than an error of yours would be innocent. One quarter of my heritage walked the Trail of Tears many moons ago. How many years of oppression have the blacks suffered? My Cherokee forebearers were eradicated in less time. So when given to utterances of that type, wez, consider drinking.

Are they 39 years of age?

I am a sinner who does not expect forgiveness. But I am not a government official. -RO

Not the odd mutter. Habitual fukkin? vocalizing of thoughts best kept to yourself.

In "Democracy in America," Alexis de Tocqueville anticipated people being governed by "an immense, tutelary power" determined to take "sole charge of assuring their enjoyment and of watching over their fate." It would be a power "absolute, attentive to detail, regular, provident and gentle," aiming for our happiness but wanting "to be the only agent and the sole arbiter of that happiness." It would, Tocqueville said, provide people security, anticipate their needs, direct their industries and divide their inheritances. It would envelop society in "a network of petty regulations -- complicated, minute and uniform." But softly: "It does not break wills; it softens them, bends them, and directs them" until people resemble "a herd of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd." " After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd." Alexis de Tocqueville on Soft Despotism Read it a couple of times. When you fully understand what de Tocqueville wrote find a government-educated friend and try to explain it to them. If you REALLY want a challenge find someone who voted for Obama - and has not come to regret that vote - and see if you can explain it to them.

Obama is quite taken with himself. Yet, his hypocrisy knows no bounds nor is he chastised by the mainstream media. Imagine if this were John McCain, or any member of the GOP, and then imagine the media coverage.

You have not yet reached the age, wez, have you, where you?re moved to utterance of thoughts properly kept silent?

Don't let the name confuse you... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJBrehCAyxE]YouTube - Dave Chappelle's Show - The Niggar Family[/ame]

One of the great things about this country, you can get your groceries, sundries, toiletries, et.al. from who the fukk you want to buy them from.

When I say fukk yourself, wez, will you put that down to, perhaps, drunkenness or a high estimate of your athleticism?

I don't remember asking you a goddamned thing, wez.

Then my hypocrisy knows no bounds. My still what? Did you mean my steel shelving? Yes, looks nice in my garage.

Tears of a clown? Ohh... wait. That's Smokey Robinson.

This thread was fukked at conception.

Well... on your trip. Get me something nice. I could use a new watch.

Palin likes to f ck.

People don’t get the size of the numbers, so remove some zeros. We now have $3,400 and $17 dollars. You want to save $3,400 at $17 a week. It will take 3 years and 9 months. You are 20 years old and have a household income $3,400 per month and spend all of it every month. You want to save for retirement so start saving $17 per month. In 45 years you would have saved $9,180 + interest. Now that’s live’n large. You have a household budged of $1,700 per month. You have a project where you want to spend $1,700 in one month So, here are your choices: -- redirect all your money for the month to the project and pay no rent, utilities, no car payment, and not buy food or gas. -- or borrow $1,700 dollars and pay it back -- Hire Bernie Madoff to start an investment fund for you You decide on #2 and will pay $17 per month. With no interest it would take you 200 months, 16.6 years, to pay back the money. With 10% simple interest you would be paying $153 less than the interest being charged. In other words you’re going further into debt. You have a household income of $1,700 per month and you want to double it to $3,400 per month. You borrow the money, every month, and promise the lender your family will pay $189 a month for the next 1,700 months (141.6 years), for each month you borrow the money. So after 1 year you have put your family in debt for the next 1,699 years. Maybe Bernie Madoff should be Secretary of Treasury???

Ohhh... you're fukken right about that, Choppa. This thread is the message board equivalent of two women chatting with one another. Neither actually hears what the other is saying, but waits in abeyance for the other to shut up so that she may speak.

Your dad knew Gladys Knight?

I'd like to make babies on Patricia Heaton's face.
