    I for one welcome our new Nipponese overlords, and will use my influence to round up people to buy Hello Kitty merchandise.

    • I for one think you are a typical whiney little kid, who thinks he's smarter than he is, because he has learned to second guess valuable things.

            I just meant what I said. You're a kid who thinks he's smarter about things than he really is. And probably the reason that I do bother with you is that you are worth it.

                Look Georgie, I may have an over-inflated opinion of my intelligence - certainly, it was just a couple years ago, but I don't see the point of being an ass about it, or how you can gauge that sort of thing through sporadic contact on an internet forum.

                • 1. I might be stuck in 2 years ago. And might not always be aware that people change. I always think of BD as that young little scamp following Jezenka for instance.

                  2. (Segue) Don't you think you can get impressions of people from their posts?

                  3. I was not gigging you for having expressed a high rating of your smarts. I haven't seen you do that recently, nor would it really bother me. I guess I'm looking at something different from smarts (maybe wisdom in the D&D sense). It was more speaking out towards the tendancy to ridicule the important things in life, the noble concepts, and yes, the noble country. first people accept pabalum from their teachers, then they question it. Then they realize that some things are really very important. CS Lewis's THE ABOLITION OF MAN is kind of behind some of my thinking here. I just read this.

                  • You got a deep knowledge of the classic wisdom, TCO

                    I bet half of the books you mention aren't on today's reading lists, though they should be.

                    • Oh...I don't know anything either. But I share your opinion of how cool it would be to have a solid grounding in philosophy, logic, religion, etc.

                      • That's good, sounds like all your parts are in working order.

                        I'm reaching the age where things are starting to "creak." WTF???

                              My biceps and triceps are as strong as when I did college gym, now. But I go real slow with my pecs and delts. (because of shoulder surgery). Legs are still being rehabbed for knee surgery, so they are not that strong.
