I don't really think you're a suck up. Just a weirdo.

Haha. Nice. Emulation is the best form of flattery, so thank you for thinking I'm the bee's knees, KP. I don't know why you think I'm an admin suck up, though it is funny that you do - And I cannot argue with comedy.

^Ha! You got me. I'm the biggest admin suck up in this place, fo sho! But, I think that is in part due to my "Hunter S. Thompson"-esque drug-fueled flights of facny. See!? I can't even spell fancy right! Damn me and my addiction to admin bung-bung and meth!

Hey you bow down to his wishes, upvote his comments, quiver in his wake... when really all of you paid for him to just get more powerful by getting more servers... suck ups...

It looks like DFT is trying to get some brownie power points! Suck up! jk

My comment was sincere.

That's great, Dag. You are so awesome.

That's great, Blankfist. You are such a suck up.

Ok, I'm not so sure part of this isn't placebo. choggie, have someone blind taste test you with switched around glasses.

I'm thinking even cheap crappy vpdka went through decent industrial filtering, so I have toruble believing it does all that much. Now of course, if it is all plastic taste that ruins cheap vodka, and somehow carbon filters suck up plastic odor/taste molecules, then this would work.

Also, do NOT try this with a used filter. I'm guessing from my little Alton Brown based knowledge you will be dissolving and freeing up some previously filter nastiness.

wow! holy fuck, blankfist! tyvm!

i owe it all to severe insomnia and enlightened self-interest. i know i can come off as a suck-up or something, but i really do watch the things i upvote, and i really have yet to see anything i would downvote, here, from any of you.

and yeah, my queue could use a lil' love every now and again, like anyone's i s'pose. but what i'd really want is for anyone who hasn't already seen it, to check out the clip i have as my favorite:

"shadow puppets", by chuck gamble. sifted by 'berticus'.

and pass it on to anyone who could use a little hope. guess that means all of us.

I'm no expert in history, but to claim that if the US wasnt involved in WW1, WW2 wouldnt have happened, sounds a bit of a stretch to me. I wont claim the opposite either, since it would be impossible to predict any outcome.

But say the US never got involved, and Hitler came to power anyway, and he successfully conquered most of Europe, exterminated as many Jews and other minorites he possibly could, and so on. If he had basically established his 3rd reich in all its morbid glory, and the Japanese empire's equally absurd goals were reached, would Ron Paul still be the same non-interventionist?

He seems like bit of a black and white kind of guy here, foreign policy isnt always that simple* There is such a thing as a growing threat. Iraq really wasnt one, in terms of clear and present danger to US citizens, but Hitler on the other hand, was on the verge of becoming what he wanted to become, "lucky" for us, he wasted 4,5 million soldiers on the sovjet union( who payed that price with 11 million soldiers and 12 million civilians..) Clearly, looking at these numbers, "non-intervention" can only go so far.

*The same goes for the practically tax-free fend-for-yourself-nation domestic policy. Back in 1776 that was the best they could come up with, because in the promised land, you didnt have to give the pope half your income, and you didnt have to suck up to kings or churches and shit like that, you could make your own damn luck. dig for gold and build your own future, it was a dream come true for the fed up European. But time goes by, and soon enough those gold-diggers become families, wealthy familes. and Companies, and empires. The Rockefellers, The Kennedys, The Bushes, and all the rest and if you happen to be born into any of these families, Good for you. If, on the other hand you are born in a poor family, and you require a wheelchair to get around.. Are we suddenly Social Darwinists now ? I'm not. I feel we should take care of our fellow humans, build healthcare and educational systems, Give people rights, you know. And in Europe, we've done just that, sure we pay higher taxes, but we have a system that provides a safety net to some degree, and a sense of fairness, for the less fortunate of us. Its not all "work hard and you'll make it". Chance, luck and timing plays a role in practically every business adventure. And even if it didnt, do we only want people with business-skills?

Ron Paul is certainly smarter and more honest than most candidates, past or present, but I sometimes think he's a bit blinded by this whole constitution-dream-world.

For reals....

"People of the future, I'm sure that these messages will give many of you a smug and superior feeling of satisfaction, so my message to you is FUCK OFF. Instead of using us as a yardstick to measure your own miniscule accomplishments, think of all the injustice that surrounds you as you read this.

My fellow messengers, frankly, are sanctimonious, insufferable bores; like so many self-important wannabe Cassandras, sucking up to their nonexistent descendants. They seem to think that you will somehow - in 100 years - be miraculously wiser and less corrupt than we, when in fact the opposite might very well be true.

If money, and greed have ANY seat in your current power structure, you have some serious work to do. If corporations have armies, if you have no social security net, if you have no national health care program, if entire countries are still starving, you have some serious work to do. So stop rummaging through our home movies and get to work you lazy bastards!

Oh, and if you've indeed cured cancer, enacted world peace and extended the human orgasm to 7 1/2 minutes, then kindly disregard this message."

Yeah it is harder than battletoads... but this also wasn't out at the time of Battletoads. Of course if it was I would just say fuck it, it's clearly an arcade game, and that boss was made to suck up quarters.

But come on... you have to admit the music in battletoads was way cooler.

John McCain is one of the most disgusting corporate suck-ups i've ever seen, and i've seen a lot! he's disgusting.

qualm why the vote against?
