Never forget that my life is like it is not becasue of mistakes and error, but because of my intentional decisions which to make I could afford. I could even not work anything at all, if I would wish that. That is more freedom and independence than I see in the lives of most people today. And that is why I give back, and have given back in the past, for free.

So, you must not tell me what is good for me - according to your set of rules for life.
Good for you Skybird!

So the question remains - what will you use in the near future to make mockery about my background, then, once I am not jobbing in a warehouse anymore? It has become a habit of yours to do like that.

Think about it in silence, please - I cannot say that I'm really interested in it. Having to face such a strike when it comes, already is annoying enough.
Habit? I've mentioned it exactly twice and the first time was just to ask you if you were serious when you mentioned it. That's not the definition of habit in my dictionary. Maybe yours is different.

Now you claim it's voluntary and i have no reason do doubt your word but even you have to admit that there aren't too many certified Psychologists working in warehouses in German or anywhere else. All I can say is "good luck" to you...

So what? There are also not many certitfied psychologists working in security for foreign TV, and came to that job in such an eccentric way like I did. Or trained swordfighting and martial arts. Or got stabbed. Or experienced a bomb attack in Berlin. Or travelled/worked in the ME without ever having used an airliner to go there. Or having had students over years. And more, and most of that offside the official tracks. You are right, I have to admit all that. So...? Any point you want to make?

Honestly, it would be very much appreciated if in the future you leave out personal stuff like this in a debate or "exchange", and refer to your view of the world and it's reasons, and say where you agree or disagree with me or somebody else. but in the past I was annoyed so often by some sidekick here, some stab from behind there, always personal, that I am tired of it, really, and it always is so fine-dosed and cleverly hidden that one may not evcen see it - if one is not the one being targetted. That I see your country not exclusively as a shining light, but also as a force of great shadow, thus as a nation of pro and contra like many others, you must live with - you can give argument why you disagree, but please, leave it to that: your opinion, your arguments.

Back to the topic now.

You guys sound like your running for something in the next primary ... lol

I want to return to my first love Seantor John McCain ... the biggest reason I went with Huckabee is because of age.

He's twenty years younger, but McCain has the lead and I'm not going to be wishy washy anymore ...

Go Navy

You really ought to have your short term memory checked Skybird as it seems to be quite faulty. I made two posts very much on topic (posts 427 and 430) but you chose in post 431 to make it personal or is that too clean and tidy for you to understand?

I have never once said my country is a "shining light" but nearly every day i see you criticizing some aspect of it in that arrogant know-it-all manner that marks all your posts. Like that gem you posted today where you claim to be able to fix broken watches and reactivate old bombs by your mere presence.

Sure. Just as soon as you follow your own advice. Remember you started this latest exchange, not me.

Either your memory really is that bad, or you play this game of twisting and distorting intentionally. no matter what, I am tired of this endless Augustism. From now on, you will play it all yourself.

Mmmmmh ... now that you say it ... :hmm:


Old stuff from a year ago:
Yes, McCain told his audience that Mr. Putin is now President of Germany delivering cold war speeches:


(This is big news, i'll better build myself a nuclear shelter in case it wasn't just a mishap ... )


Occasionally we get some info here about the pre-elections. I always had seen Hillary as favourite but i must say that i have been surprised and impressed by Obama. I like his cool and sober way to articulate himself - he seems to have a clear mind. Certainly not the baddest choice as a president in my unsolicited opinion.

Of all the Democrat party candidates I believe he has the best chance at winning the election.

Barring unforseen developments or extraordinarly poor choices in running mates were I a betting man i'd bet like this in the following potential matchups:

Obama v. McCain - Close but Obama has the edge I think
Clinton v. McCain - McCain by a solid majority
Obama v. Romney - Obama by a solid majority
Clinton v. Romney - Too close to call. The TV debates would probably be the key in that scenario.
Huckabee v. Obama - Obama by a solid majority
Huckabee v. Clinton - Close but Clinton has the edge.
Paul can be easily beat by both Obama and Clinton but he's sure not to get the nomination nor does he have the cash to run as an independant.

Is that everyone left?

super tuesday hasnt happened yet, so we will see.. after all the diebold machines are rigged

heres proof





http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/rigvote.html

http://drunkardslamppost.wordpress.c...new-hampshire/

another election down the drain... anyone want to bet there will be no election in 2012:hmm::hmm: (aka dictatorship)


ive given up hope, america will turn into a totalitarian regime

Quote:
"Fourteen years previously, Britain had suffered from war and terrorism. The socially-conservative and openly fascist Norsefire party led a reactionary purge to restore order; so-called enemies of the state disappeared during the night. The country was deeply divided over the loss of freedom until a bioterrorist attack occurred, killing about 100,000 people. The fear generated by the attack allowed Norsefire to silence all opposition and win the next election by a landslide. A cure for the virus was discovered soon afterwards. With the silent consent of the people, Norsefire turned Britain into a bigoted totalitarian republic, with their leader Adam Sutler as High Chancellor."
from wikipedia on V for Vendetta movie...

seems a little similar to whats happening to america now... war, terrorism, soon to be national ID cards.. phone tapping .. department of homeland security... :hmm:

Ah, that movie. Let's take an English story, twist it to aa Bush parable, then set it back in London because we don't have the guts to write an original story set in the US. Meanwhile a great comic book is ripped up.

ugh

Giuliyawni - the moment in every morning when the realisation dawns, Rudy Giuliani will never be President of the United States. A delicious feeling, so good it's probably fattening.

Interesting piece from Salon on religious campaigning by GOP candidates.
