You do realize that when I say "there are moments when I..." that it implies something else? Larry Send a noteboard - 11/10/2013 08:22:26 AM

Funny how the guys promoting anarchy tend to be the same guys who would have little to know chance surviving it. If it ever does happen remember as you lay there bleeding out and watching some group of thugs pick through your stuff looking for something worth keeping that this what you wanted.

If you do survive be sure to pay the proper tribute to whichever warlord you end up paying homage to.


I favor decentralized syndicalist socio-political entities that are too small to have the hegemonic powers of nation-states. Such things would depend on creating more interdependence while whittling away at hierarchical structures that emphasize unequal power distribution. But I am a realist, so when I say "there are moments when I...", there is a shift from the present indicative grammatical mood toward something that would either take a conditional contrary-to-fact, subjunctive, or optative mood, depending upon the language into which my thoughts would then be conveyed

In short, it's like thinking about how to spend money spent from winning the lottery...

Why would your government shut down your ass? Yunalesca - 06/10/2013 08:03:57 PM 966 Views
Actually, it is... Dannymac - 07/10/2013 04:12:30 AM 928 Views
Must we do this again? Isaac - 07/10/2013 05:45:00 AM 909 Views
A whole generation has voted DNC twice. Dannymac - 07/10/2013 04:18:25 PM 745 Views
It voted RNC twice right before that, then DNC twice before that, then RNC thrice before that Isaac - 07/10/2013 05:18:31 PM 748 Views
elections are a cyclical affair by nature. the gop won't always be the party of stupid.... *NM* moondog - 07/10/2013 08:02:44 PM 440 Views
Not to mention they've gerrymandered like there's no tomorrow. Legolas - 07/10/2013 05:49:23 PM 810 Views
I hope we do default. ranagrande - 07/10/2013 07:04:24 PM 812 Views
Uhm. Legolas - 07/10/2013 09:09:45 PM 705 Views
Well it has been 70 years since we had a World War Isaac - 07/10/2013 09:37:14 PM 882 Views
You see in America we don't shoot stupid Roland00 - 08/10/2013 06:59:53 AM 708 Views
never going to happen Praziquantel - 08/10/2013 01:13:10 PM 908 Views
When gerrymandering there is no tomorrow, just the current decade Isaac - 07/10/2013 07:29:39 PM 789 Views
I'm curious as to why you say "unpopular bill" here Larry - 08/10/2013 09:02:49 AM 817 Views
Force of habit or slip of tongue, "Unpopular set of laws" Isaac - 08/10/2013 03:05:18 PM 814 Views
Ha! Larry - 09/10/2013 08:37:25 AM 832 Views
Bad enough, no? Legolas - 08/10/2013 06:32:06 PM 659 Views
Certainly Isaac - 08/10/2013 08:23:34 PM 895 Views
give a coherent reason for the shutdown and the label of economic terrorist will go away moondog - 07/10/2013 08:11:27 PM 922 Views
Why should I try to discourage you from using a label that makes you look like a fanatic? Isaac - 07/10/2013 09:23:40 PM 801 Views
i guess i should have put the disclaimer you asked for so you would know to be offended, is that it? moondog - 07/10/2013 10:49:43 PM 787 Views
It's pretty fucking sad any of us think we need a reason to act civilly, courtesy is its own reward *NM* Isaac - 08/10/2013 07:50:00 AM 472 Views
So you mean I shouldn't call you "an uncle fucking horsefucker" then? Larry - 08/10/2013 09:04:06 AM 737 Views
That's correct Larry, that would be unproductive Isaac - 08/10/2013 04:04:39 PM 818 Views
Of course it would; I rarely use such words toward people who might be still involved in a convo Larry - 09/10/2013 08:39:22 AM 731 Views
Re: Of course it would; [...] Isaac - 09/10/2013 05:25:28 PM 774 Views
hey, i've given plenty of reasonable alternatives, i don't see why you can't compromise with me *NM* moondog - 08/10/2013 10:09:44 PM 400 Views
Compromises? You've called my party terrorists and made it clear it wasn't hyperbole in your eyes Isaac - 08/10/2013 10:23:05 PM 811 Views
read what you wrote, direct it at your party, and look up "satire" if you still don't get it..... *NM* moondog - 08/10/2013 10:43:31 PM 501 Views
It's always painful when people think they're being funny or clever rather than sullen Isaac - 08/10/2013 11:33:36 PM 755 Views
remember that time when the Dems shut down the government to stop the iraq war? oh wait.... moondog - 09/10/2013 12:42:53 AM 797 Views
Probably a bad analogy pick, many of the Dem-initiated shutdowns were over defense spending Isaac - 09/10/2013 01:11:38 AM 714 Views
ok, henceforth instead of terrorists i will use "tea-hadists". is that more to your liking? moondog - 09/10/2013 10:26:36 PM 920 Views
No. Overdue, insincere, and half-assed attempts at marginal courtesy is not 'to my liking' Isaac - 09/10/2013 10:40:57 PM 776 Views
and here is the big picture, in a nutshell moondog - 10/10/2013 12:26:18 AM 856 Views
"Here's the big picture" remarks shouldn't start by complaining about your personal paycheck Isaac - 10/10/2013 12:37:34 AM 737 Views
i think 800,000 federal workers would disagree but YMMV moondog - 10/10/2013 12:44:29 AM 1035 Views
The GOP House already voted to give them back pay Isaac - 10/10/2013 01:21:27 AM 790 Views
the House is good at making empty gestures without actually addressing the causes moondog - 11/10/2013 05:17:34 PM 828 Views
How is agreeing to backpay an empty gesture? Isaac - 11/10/2013 05:37:58 PM 1137 Views
it's empty because the shutdown persists. end the shutdown and they won't need back pay moondog - 11/10/2013 11:02:20 PM 848 Views
Make up your mind, you complained early that you weren't getting paid Isaac - 11/10/2013 11:21:57 PM 745 Views
Clever. Did you make that one up yourself? I like it, will have to remember that one... *NM* Legolas - 09/10/2013 11:31:22 PM 422 Views
i can't claim to have invented it, but use it as you wish *NM* moondog - 09/10/2013 11:34:39 PM 420 Views
I do remember the time when some Democrats were tarnished with that pejorative brush... Larry - 09/10/2013 08:48:50 AM 813 Views
Re: I do remember the time when some Democrats were tarnished with that pejorative brush... moondog - 09/10/2013 09:51:22 PM 833 Views
That schtick got old a long time ago. You need newer, better material. Larry - 10/10/2013 03:43:31 AM 767 Views
you'll be rid of me for good soon enough, don't worry about it moondog - 11/10/2013 05:10:00 PM 954 Views
I couldn't care less either way. Just make stronger arguments. *NM* Larry - 11/10/2013 05:55:05 PM 437 Views
you do realize you would come out a loser in said anarchy don't you? random thoughts - 11/10/2013 03:56:24 AM 801 Views
You do realize that when I say "there are moments when I..." that it implies something else? Larry - 11/10/2013 08:22:26 AM 863 Views
the republicans won more elections now the democrats have shutdown the government random thoughts - 09/10/2013 06:37:31 PM 798 Views
to quote Jon Stewart: "if you're gonna shut it down, OWN IT! Don't fart and then point at the dog" *NM* moondog - 09/10/2013 09:37:28 PM 462 Views
I agree. So now Obama and the senate need to step up and own it. *NM* random thoughts - 10/10/2013 06:02:56 PM 358 Views
That's about it. MonCul - 09/10/2013 12:36:30 AM 641 Views
Also, I wish you wouldn't egg them on Isaac - 07/10/2013 05:46:20 AM 770 Views
While I agree with your sentiment, "Big Government" is not a cause. Palatine - 07/10/2013 03:34:40 PM 974 Views
Wow. Been a long time since we had a thread like this. I like it! :-) *NM* everynametaken - 10/10/2013 03:55:50 AM 425 Views
