    just TLDR his stuff
    the conversation is worthless anyways
    nobody on the internet knows what they are talking about
    To us, it is the BEAST.

      "You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

        Does your post help? This post specifically?

        Biased in favour of whom? Or against whom?

        My point is that the foreign policy generally does not benefit from vague generalities about "overseas commitments" and "nation-building." They're no substitute for thorough research and analysis. And they're not a justification for defence cuts. Justifications for defence cuts exist if the benefit (reduced spending) exceeds the risk (cost to US foreign policy priorities).

          Sad, really. I have. I've already roundly humiliated you for it. In fact, so have others. You've been effectively marginalized and are too thick to realize it.

              Same as Hera.

                He's a lawyer so he's probably grown accustomed to writing a whole lot of crap that says very little. But if you skim it and respond you might get caught on some technical detail.

                  Also, like Hera, stop DanSing all your posts. If you're that slow, take more time before hitting submit. At least Hera has the excuse of English not being his native language.

                    I'm just surprised with how similar to Hera he is: the single-mindedness, the deafness to opposing views, the need for others engage his nonsense, the insecurity, the total lack of critical thinking and understanding of what critical thinking is.

                      Why do you need him to be different than what he apparently is?

                        And my point is that people need to eat in order to survive. But they can't just eat bread and water and expect to be healthy. They need protein and vitamins among other nutrients. Failure to realize this is distracting the issue. Tomorrow maybe Tuesday, but only on a Monday. But never on a Friday. Yet, some people insist posting these kinds of ideas, without considering their consequences. Once one does, it only leads to a series of problems. All of which I am nobly trying to solve here.

                          I don't. I just get perverse pleasure from pointing it out. Really perverse. I shouldn't go further into it.

                            whatever floats your boat
                            personally, i prefer naked women
                            16-60 for the most part, no fatties and plez groom yourself... over 18 for legal reasons
                            strictly speaking, its the boobs and curves

                              I'm more of a legman myself. Great avatar, btw.

                                Legs can be nice. But below the fun parts, maybe only the feet can give me any kind of "job". So I've got other priorities. I could be happy with a dual-amputee... probably halfway up the thigh would be my limit.

                                Actually, I'd probably prefer that just cuz she couldn't run out on me. And if she had a motorized wheelchair, I could take out the batteries.

                                Although, I'd be doing most of the work. So I would have to consider the logistics. There may be some sort of rope and pulley system that could make things easier... like theater wires. But then I'd need the equivalent of stage hands. I suppose if I had maybe 3 amputee chicks, the other two could work the wires while my attention was focused on the one.
