"Seemed" being the important word.
Nearly every overthrow seems to be a great change, but they all settle into the same rut, or an even worse one.

Sounds more like the words of, if I may add yet another quote from you, these days of internet tough guys!

At least it didn't fall into the rut for awhile.(Martin Van Buren is when started to fall into that rut IMO.)

Possibly, I would have put it at John Adams myself.

Maybe but Van Buren was the first one born at a late enough date to not have first hand memories of the Revolutionary war. I give a lot of leeway to those who either participated in the war or had some form of experience with it.

Hmm, in the Weimar republic it was about whole armies consisting of millions coming home, with full weaponry and ammo, building up groups (most of it those 'Freikorps') trying to overthrow the Weimar republic all the time (and each other as a side effect).
I cannot quite understand what that has to do with weapon registration ?
And b.t.w. how can one be against weapon registration, but not against eavesdropping and surveillance of every citizen (rifle or not) by e.g. the NSA?

I'm not talking about having brass balls on the internet, you seem to do a great job of that yourself!

Looks like that Irish courage is getting the best of you.

Dreadfully sorry old boy, you really must get hold of that devious fellow who is posting on the internet in your name if those are not your words.

Looks like your emotions got the better of you a long time ago.
That's almost as lame as your silly line about the IRA

It took you almost a whole hour to come up with those, I'm impressed!

How you can troll these forums for over a decade, without donating one bit, and not be keelhauled is beyond me

I guess it does pay to wear kneepads.

And from what I remember, I never asked for your snide remarks anyhow. You just took it upon yourself to make a comment, because naturally it's what you do.

You have an obligation to validate your lack of self-worth in the real world, by boosting your internet ego.

Really what you're trying to do is get some kind of an emotional response from me. Truth is, I deal with folks like you everyday so your fanciful comments only serve to make you look even more ridiculous than you already are. I almost feel sorry for your pitiful life. Were you an IRA washout? I can understand your frustration with life. Not everybody can take on the British Army. That would require real life brass balls, not your internet ones

Not possible with Tribesman. That's why I and many others here have put him on permanent ignore status.

I don't know how to break this shocking news to you, but comments on an internet forum are open to replies.

my sweet, if I felt my self worth in the real world was lacking I would be making the sort of comments about life not being fair and all my years on government paychecks resulting in a just few toys and a damp apartment and how having a job meant I had gaps in my jobs list which meant I couldn't get a job.
But that's your line

As I said already, your problem is that your posts are emotional, try being rational instead.

Young man, you have shown that you havn't got the faintest clue and just blindly flail about with silly attempts at insults.

Blind again
Now most people would have read "epic fail" and stopped kicking themselves in the balls on that line, but it's ok keep it up unless you can think of something even more ridiculous to show yourself up with.
Though it does tie back to something you said earlier.
I nearly signed up with the British military, luckily I saw sense.
You however didn't see sense till you was shipped off to arab land to play silly buggers for the politicians and have stewed in frustration ever since
The difference between us is that you fairly recently learnt something very obvious that you should have realised long long ago and have been unable to adjust to, which is why you are seething with anger about politicians, which is why you are emotional not rational.
Your emotions are making your attempts at points even more ridiculous than they were to start with.

Most people, apart from those that still insist the lies about Iraq were really true, know that it was a load of bollox.
