Total crap.  How easy it is to take things out of context just to make a lame point.

I think that's exactly the point of it.

The relevance comes when you slaughter 'for God and America' whilst ignoring the very teachings of Jesus. Ah, the Irony.

In reading MANY of your postings, I think you must have invented the need for the word "hyperbole".

It's funny, everything is stark black and white, except that which you choose to look for gray areas - those areas usually are things you agree with or argue for.

Takes me back to your maudlin descriptions of endless days of crying....ahhhhh those were the days.

In reference to irony, I think you meant to speak of you commenting on God and America while ignoring much of both, and having little knowledge of either.

No...I just prayed to jesus and he says that is spot on.  He was actually considering running for office after the second coming, but decided against it because of the dirty campaign the republicans would run against him.

Actually Jesus will rule earth for 1000 years after the second coming. Check it out yourself, it is in Revelation.
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

Paige IS kinda strict, but a fascist?  So the guy asks me to wave in a different fashion than everyone else and pronounces Hello a little different and forgets the "O", but a fascist?  I don't even think he has a moustache! 

Paige is a uggo-ist, though.  I have yet to see him allow an uggo to one of his parties.

For SHAME, Paige, for SHAME!  Uggos need to have fun too!

Ah yes, the old 'remark on a previous post on a seperate subject' thing once again. How predictable. Your continued use of the word 'Maudlin' infers that I look back at my familys reaction to John Lennons death with a falseness brought on by being over sentimental. Did nobody cry for days when

Your use of hyperbole is limited to no post in particular, it is prevalent in just about everything you've said here.  The "crying for days" is yet another example.  Your only offering of knowledge of yourself is what you've posted, and you've yet to change my view or others of you. 

Predictable?  Sure.  Just as is your "ommission" ::) of addressing the black/white/gray comment.  Just as is your continued blather about your knowledge of all things America. 

Please, send your compilation.  I can print it out and use it when I'm down to one square left and haven't a square to spare. 

I'm SO looking forward to the post I can only guess is coming where you give us "factual information from your unbiased media" about how Bush is looking to turn America into a modern day Third Reich.

Funny how the outcry pre-election was aobut the conservatives dividing the board, but after the election, the continued prattle is seeming to come from the left.

Maybe I should start copying and pasting GGKoul's "please feel free to explore the knowledge of arcades/controls/building a cab this board has to offer".

You've posted this purposely to incite discussion, which is bound to turn heated due to the nature of it.  Perhaps you should take your own advice and heed the sage wisdom of Mr Lennon who beseeched us "Give Peace A Chance".

Sheesh Drew.  Didn't you find the video funny at all?  I don't think you can take anything too seriously that begins with a blurb from Southpark and ends with a logo for wiseass.org.

And, I wasn't calling Paige a fascist (though he apparently supports and looks forward to the fascist rule of JC Superstar).

nah, I know, I was just poking fun at that, that's al (see the "funny wave" and the "Heil(o)")l.  I've seen your style enough to know you'd have given him reasons if ya were speaking directly at him.

Sense of humor depends - I find danny's posts highly comedic, even the Jesus & Hitler one. 

It's kinda like Lewis Black.  I can see his points through his use of humor.  The use of this by Dex?  Call me crazy, but it ain't funny.....to me.   It's why I see no problem wearing plaid socks with striped underwear and a polka-dotted leisure suit, while you would be trying to gouge your eyes out :)

Please feel free to explore my posts to the other BYOAC forums in relation to arcades/controls/building a cab. 3 cabs built, two more planned and posts to the board asking questions as well as giving advice. The only reason I do not post to the other forums more is that, because of the time difference, most posts are already answered satisfactorily before I get a chance to post. And by the way, I always explore the board, I couldn't have built my cabs without it.

Dexter

Critics claim that America is pandering to the beliefs of the Christian, and when the US does something for the good of the world that goes against the beliefs of the Christians, the critics still aren't happy.
Ah, the Irony.
