OT: Obama is dumber than a box of rocks

[Allan from Fallbrook]

Rus: Yup. You are correct. I do seek out crises and high risk situations.

I do limit it as best I can, but in some instances…

EDIT: I did sell my bike because of the kids. I had a nice BMW K100 and it broke my frickin’ heart. Looking back, it was the right thing to do. Too much risk. Man, I miss that bike, though.

What a tedious clique. It’s OK. I’m happy that two hinterland kooks have found love. I will make a couple of final comments though.

For Mr. Been-There-Done-That, most vets guard the privacy of their experience, because all of our experiences are unique. However there is that soul who longs for recognition. I know a fellow who is a cook in the CNG, but claims to have been an SF type in Iraq. Since he stands about 5’2″, his story lacks verisimilitude.

It’s fairly well known that those who have a story to tell, won’t. Who would you tell it to? Someone with no frame of reference who couldn’t possibly understand, or someone who has their own experiences, and doesn’t really care to relive yours? Conversely, those who must always tell their story are suspect.

If I am enigmatic, it is because I know who I am, and I know who you are too.

Casca: Enigmatic? Ha! That’s a hoot. No, you’re not enigmatic. You’re a discredited racist and fascist, who chooses to offer nothing about himself in order to support his positions. And, please note, you don’t support your positions, you simply naysay or gainsay other’s positions. Similar to that old Monty Python skit.

“It’s fairly well known”… Really? According to whom? You? I offered my experiences to support my assertions regarding torture and interrogation, and how those related to a counterinsurgency action, such as that faced in iraq, Afghanistan and the War on Terror. You come back with the “gold standard” of torture (the SD) during WWII. Not addressing the question in that it completely lacks any sort of context. You attempt, through high-handed, pseudo-intellectual responses to win arguments through bombast. When that fails, you resort to insults and ad hominem. Risibility, anyone?

And, as Dukehorn pointed out, why use a commonly understood word when a $6 word will make you sound, oh, so much more intelligent. And, my goodness, there’s a nice $6 word in your last posting!

This was quite an interesting dialogue/debate until you showed up. Civility, manners and courtesy count. However, amongst the snobbishly insecure, attempting to score points and prove one’s own worth counts for more than advancing the discourse and having a lively discussion. Hopefully, your comments above were indeed final. This tedious clique will certainly be thrilled to see your departure. We all feel a sense of tiredness, no, wait, enervation, or lassitude, or is ennui better?

So, hustle up, Buttercup: That book on Ernst Rohm and the SA is waiting.

And where’d John go?[/quote]

If you mean this John, I have just been reading the posts. Didn’t have anything to add.

Allan are you still in the Military?? For some reason I was thinking that you were in education, maybe coaching.
