Notice that everything in the message you sent back to me EXCEPT the part

that I
am replying to is "snipped", or deleted. Especially if you bottom post,

having
the whole group arrow down to find a one-liner is a waste of bandwidth AND

time.

Not if it is a GREAT one-liner! badaboom

There are arguments that will go on in the newsgroups for WEEKS about
netiquette, and whether top posting, bottom posting, or intermediate

posting is
the "right" way to do it. What everybody agrees on, though, is that to

reply to
a very long post with a sentence or two at the top or the bottom is a

waste of
bandwidth.

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-ok,ok-what is "snipping"?






But it is polite to add snip in place of the text that was snipped...

Oh yeah, I remember reading about it. A place called Abu Graib seems to be
a
true stronghold of democracy in Iraq.


What drivel. Do you judge California's democratic "progress" by what
happened to Rodney King?

In a country of 25 million people, and an Army of 150,000, stupid stuff
happens. Abu Graib was an anomaly, a bump in the road to democratic rule,
and the perps are going to jail.

Which is more than you can say was happening in that same prison under
Sadaam's rule.

Just out of curiosity, suppose you had continued on toward your airplane.
What would they have done about it?


Remember the actor in the first "Terminator" movie who played Linda
Hamilton's lover/protector? The guy who became the father of the future
John Conner, leader of the rebellion against the machines?

The Secret Service guy who was blocking my path looked EXACTLY like him,
only bigger. Much bigger. And he kept talking into his lapel.

He didn't look the kind of guy I wanted to argue with...

Next time, pick a fight with one of them then come on the group and tell us
about it. I will even chip in $10 towards your bail.

So, you are saying that if you had messed with him, it may have tired him
out. Then, if the opportunity had come up, he would never have had the
energy to "get busy" with Linda Hamilton that night, and John Connor would
never have been born! The implications are tremendous. To coin a phrase,
"you can go crazy just thinking about this stuff!"

Jay, you've saved us all from a future of being ruled by the machines. I
want to shake your hand, mate!

That would be an even bigger waste of time than my first response.

Besides, I'm pretty sure he kill filed me long ago.

I've wanted to say that for a long ****ing time but didn't out of
poloiteness to the rest of the group. . **** that and **** you. I hope

you
rot in your own excrement.

And your faggot, coward loverboy Bush is the biggest, phoniest asshole

I've
ever seen. It's people like you who **** up the bell curve and make it
possible for such lying sack of ****, self serving liars to get in

office to
begin with.


Oh, I see. You don't have a logical argument nor position, so you are

forced to
use sexuality slurs and reduce yourself to homophobic language as you

call
somebody names. Would you shout those same words in the streets of your
hometown, Northhampton? Or do you reserve your toughness for behind your

very
tough keyboard?

CJ had no semblance of an argument or position, and simply uttered a
long list of assertions and slanders. Go back and ask CJ to justify
his garbage. Then I'll be more impressed by your complaining.

Don't read the papers much, eh?

There's this thing called "democracy" growing over there.


What???!!!

Give it time --
it might catch.


Snide Answer #1: Yea, we could use some democracy over here...seeing
as how our current President was not chosen democratically.

Snide Answer #2: Oh, you want other countries to have armed militias
and mobs running around blowing up anything that moves?

More than 95% of the Iraqi countryside is enjoying freedom right
now. The only parts you hear about on the news is the bad parts.


95% land area? Which means, what, 10% of the people?

Probably 0%. I'm thinking if I'm Buddhist, or Christian, or even the
wrong Muslim sect, I'm probably going to get killed if I don't leave
the country right quick. Some freedom. Kinda reminds me of Ford:

"Any color you want so long as it's black."

We'll know the same way we knew when Viet Nam was over -- we'll coldly turn

Like we turned our back on our European allies when they dared to
disagree with Big Brother?

We have no Iraqi allies. We have no allies at all in the Mideast,
just opportunists who may have momentarily aligned with Big Brother,
but would cut his throat--literally--if they thought it would do them
some good.
