I'm afraid you will be disappointed in the notion that I will not continue to view you as elitist, with more than your share of snark. If you were as not as addicted as myself to these forums, you would not keep coming back. Most of those persons we call "mundanes" function quite well without the need to spend the disproportionate amount of time that we do here.

And if I disturb you to distraction, I recommend the Ignore function.

I think the result of a KIA and Jim Webb meetup would resemble the Aldrin-moon landing conspirator meetup. Same for Marc and the rest of the authoritarian elitists.

How about these vets, the Fighting Dems, that decided to run as liberals?

Are you trying to tell me she didn't put her ass on the line?

I know this will bring Rani to your rescue once again, but I don't care -- you are about the biggest asshole there is on the forum. I just hope you run in to this guy some day and mouth off with your backassward crap about liberals -

So, you're basically saying the brave folks above are categorically and fundamentally the same as you. Playdude, I know allot of Democrats who don't indentify themselves as being in the same category as the liberals. As a matter of fact, the majority of the Democrats who I know are actually center-rights. They're liberal in principle and political association only.

This may come as a surprise to you, I would've voted for Webb or Joe L. in the 06' elections. In Minnesota's election, I had a choice between a straight talking conservative who happened to be a business owner and an accountant by trade and a smooth talking (swung both ways on the issue, she claimed to support the war/troops but supported diplomatic solutions vs a military solution to acheive peace in Iraq) liberal who happened to be a mid level Hennepin Co. District Attorney who identified herself with Da' Range. I voted for the accountant instead of the lawyer.

Right Arrow A plea to Progressive Dominionists

Why would Sen. Webb steal a Minnesotan's property and then try to engorge (as if producing foie gras) a sad choice from the Minnesotan's pass of Assinine-Americans with these objects (conjones*-whatever they might be)?

Sen. Webb has this ability to force feed a Minnesotan's donkey with some sort of objects; but, why would a Virginian be so inclined? Perhaps, Mr. M&L or Ms. Genser being closer to the Old Dominion would explain this cultural practice. Do peoples near the Potomac relish donkey grease as the French would a confit? Does a diet of conjones make an Assinine-American's liver engorge? Is this a patriotic (post 9-11) play to make Our Commercial Republic self sufficient in victuals in some way?

I fear I have an unrecognized ignorance of Blue Zone coastal cuisine! Help!!!

It must be a Southern dish of only local favor.

1.) I think you're too far from the other border to be acquainted with that term.

2.) You do have cojones, Mr. Saari; they're just very refined and archaic-looking. That doesn't mean they're not effective. After all, an arquebus can be just as lethal as an AK-47.

3.) You make for a very good Internet Performance Artist, and I've seen some of the best. Where else do you ply your craft?

And Webb is center-right as well on at least some issues and center-left on other (I may be as well). But he'd put up with your chicken hawk crap of calling other Dems, far Left or not, incapable of putting their lives on the line about as much as he puts up with that other chickenshit currently in the White House -

http://hill6.thehill.com/under-the-d...006-11-29.html

At a private reception held at the White House with newly elected lawmakers shortly after the election, Bush asked Webb how his son, a Marine lance corporal serving in Iraq, was doing.

Webb responded that he really wanted to see his son brought back home, said a person who heard about the exchange from Webb.

“I didn’t ask you that, I asked how he’s doing,” Bush retorted, according to the source.

Webb confessed that he was so angered by this that he was tempted to slug the commander-in-chief, reported the source, but of course didn’t. It’s safe to say, however, that Bush and Webb won’t be taking any overseas trips together anytime soon.
And remember, your basic definition of a liberal is what?

I suggest you read liberal definition #14 once again there knucklehead. Ah, Playdude, was it a direct quote or an indirect quote of Mr. Webbs comments? Does an indirect quote carry the same factual weight as a direct quote in your kookie liberal head? Smart folks do not supply information that includes the phrase "said a person who heard about the exchange from Webb"

Why, I haven't said stupid crap or anything shameful for that matter. Are you claiming that you're not a liberal Bush hater? Are you claiming that your intellect or knowlege is somehow much clearer or better informed than mine?

So, are you saying the liberal is now the slug and the conservative who put on the liberal hat is viewed as the lion? What would your opinion be of Webb, if Webb were to flip on his old Republican hat?

Hey, did you know, I almost put the wood to my first cousin at a party. Damn good thing, or bad thing depending on the POV, there was a picture of her grandpa with a dead elk hanging on the wall. The picture prompted a discussion about her grandpa and dad's annual trips out west hunting elk. You see, my mom's uncle and cousin also went on annual trips hunting elk. No biggy, lots of people go on annual elk hunting trips right. Well, she also mentioned her grandpa lived in Red Wing. Wow, my mom's uncle lived in Red Wing as well. No biggy, lots of people live in Red Wing right. I mentioned to her, my grandpa owned a automobile engine rebuilding business and used to own a sawmill up north. Wow, imagine that, her dads uncle owned an automobile engine rebuilding business too. The end, way to many coincidences to overcome at that point. Oh well, rules are rules, no whoopy was gonna happen with her, what a bummer man!

IOW, you're probably pwned and don't realize it.
As usual, Rags is on-target, again.

From Ragnarok's link (bolding mine):

"Finally, the dominant Ti function means that the INTP takes his interests and beliefs very seriously. Honesty and directness when explaining these interests are usually displayed. INTPs detest facades and particulary dislike people who exhibit them. Equally, those kind of people also dislike INTPs and avoid them at all cost, for they know that the INTP will see right through them. The INTP's serious nature also makes them almost immune to mockery and being made fun of, at least when face to face with their mocker. If someone attempts to make a sarcastic, mocking comment about an interest of an INTP, the latter will defend himself with a pure, almost naive seriousness, explaining his position with a severe exactness, wielding his words like swords. This almost always disarms the mocker who does not expect such a penetrating defence. The INTPs defence usually also contains a subtle but biting attack thrown back in the mocker's face, chiefly because the INTP cannot entirely hide the fact that he believes his opponent to be stupid. Such confrontations might develop rapidly into physical ones, a danger that the INTP should be aware of. This ability to wield words with cutting precision is one of the INTP's greatest assests, but equally one of his most deadly traits. He is capable of using words creatively to penetrate deep into the understanding of a subject, but if not checked and wielded carelessly, his words can become highly destructive, especially where the Feeling function is heavily suppressed."

M&L, and myself are both military, and INTP's.

You also make a good Internet Performance Artist, although not one who would work well with Mr. Saari. Maybe someday I can get you back on USENET (you posted there once) and teach you how to be an award winning troll.

Virgil dodged all my comments. Darn. I was really hoping the flattering comparison to an arquebus might at least elicit some reaction.

BTW, that's a naughty recipe. It's also one I wouldn't try. I draw the line at eating animals that usually receive names.

Does this imply there are possible advantages to Feeling functions?

All 16 MBTI types have strengths and weaknesses. If you play to your strengths and away from weaknesses, you may make them more pronounced. If you want to lessen the effect, try being who you are not. I do. I may not do it well, but the experience makes me less supercilious.

There's a lot to be said for going places that don't fit you well, just for the experience.

I just went down to the gas station this morning with my new boyfriend, Bubba. He's also my cousin, by the way, and we plan on having our wedding there, with a big screen closeup so our hundreds of relatives can all get a good view. NASCAR is sponsoring the whole thing! If you send me your address, I'll make sure you get an invite.
Thanks! Would love to attend!

I have a cousin named Bo. He and his friends race swamp buggies. It's actually more fun than monster trucks!

One thing I've learned - anything involved with NASCAR, it's important to wear some good heavy boots to wade through the beer cans.

Smart folks do not supply information that includes the phrase "said a person who heard about the exchange from Webb"



Why, I haven't said stupid crap or anything shameful for that matter. Are you claiming that you're not a liberal Bush hater? Are you claiming that your intellect or knowlege is somehow much clearer or better informed than mine?



So, are you saying the liberal is now the slug and the conservative who put on the liberal hat is viewed as the lion? What would your opinion be of Webb, if Webb were to flip on his old Republican hat?
Okay, so you want to back away from your statements by obfuscation. Fine, you have lots of company amongst Republicans right now.

But to be clear, you now have come around to thinking that what defines a liberal is not limited to those with irrational hatred of Bush. Also, you now have grasped that there is no correlation between those with liberal viewpoints and those unwilling to put their lives on the line.

These are really not such profound conclusion and one would think it not such a big deal to accept, but I am pleased to see some progress on your part.

Webb admits to being a Reagan Democrat. Under the right circumstances, I'd be okay with his switching back. The situation with Lieberman is very different - he's decided to become Bush's boot licker in Congress - it's increasingly disgusting.

I see Lieberman as an Orthodox Jew first and an American second. He has more in common with the Likkud Party than he ever did with the Dems. Israel is Lieberman's defining issue. He will gladly sell his soul on anything else, if Israel is kept safe and supplied with all the waepons it needs ... and left to her own devices, of course.
