The more i think about it, the more i think Yonivore is insane.

Im pretty sure at one point he admitted to being Resurrected one or clandestino, and the more i read posts from wild cobra, the more i think its Yonivore creating another handle so he can provide the illusion of having more support on this board.

I mean do people that stupid even exist in oregon?

Clandestino is a Mexican dude who really likes right-wing Latin American ideas of government, and doesn't think American political liberties matter all that much.

TRO is Yonivore.

Wild Cobra doesn't have quite Yoni's ideology. Yoni has a really enigmatic mix of libertarianism and authoritarianism.

Try to be more accurate. He said God sent us bush as a savior, he hates black people, the 5th summer of war is the charm, says Iraq is responsible for 9/11 because of it's infestation of al-Qeada and ties to Saddam(something he must have confirmed with his conversations with God) and any failure of the bush administration will be attributed to people like you.

Now, expect to be on ignore because your opinions don't exist if you're on ignore.

...an incomprehensible and incongruous mix. I think Yoni doesn't quite get what libertarianism is; he probably thinks it's some pure, "above-it-all" version of Republican conservatism that he can retreat to when it suits him.

he's just covering up the fact that he's gay by accusing everyone else of being gay. that's why you'll notice all his bukkake talk usually involves male posters as being the facial target.

Bukkakes and Rawfl Victoria's are directed towards Mookie and Cbf's way of speech.

Otherwise, i'm not accusing anyone of being gay. You ofcourse is the only one leveling such accusations, while your freind Pixel has an obsession with me. At first I thought it was just his admiration for Chump when Chump debated me, but now he's full blown balls to the wall crazy about me. It's sick.

Gtown,
I remember when gtown first showed up. He was an absolute asshole. Believe it or not, he has seriously toned his act down. Because honestly, unlike some members here, I like hearing other opinions from people who think quite differently from me.
Gtown hasnt been on as much lately, but if you cut thru his shit, he sometimes is actually entertaining and interesting.

Yoni,
I seriously think Yoni might be Dick Cheney. No one could be so self-assured in every opinion, every action and every decision that someone else in the world makes. I dont have the confidence in my own family that he has in the Bush Administration. Hes quite convinced that not only is he right(eous), but that his ideas are so damn brilliant and sound that he would skirt every aspect of the Bill of Rights to further his ideals.

In comparison, have you ever noticed that the really, REALLY whacko serial killers of our time defend themselves in court when theyre (inevitably) tried for their crimes? Its because these sick individuals have so convinced themselves that theyre so much smarter than everyone in the world that there isnt a chance in hell they could lose in a battle of wits and evidence. Its called "sociopathic". Gravely convinced of one's own greatness. Thats Yoni, only substitute "murderer" for "politician". I am not sure which one is worse, though....

Clandestino,
Of the limited exposure I have, hes in the Vashner category. Blind party loyalty without the moxy or intelligence of Yoni. A follower.

Xray,
I picture a mountainous region where he lives on high, looking down upon a world gone astray. Open homosexuality, dissent upon government, etc. A far cry from his day when there were Commies and Reds, or in other words, a defined enemy thats all black and white. Times change unabated, but humans by nature resist it. Some more than others. Thus, Ray.

...................................Other side.......................................

NBADan,
I'm labeled here as a bleeding liberal. My grandfather thinks of me this way as well. What he doesnt realize is that when I get into a debate with a REAL bleeding-heart liberal, they think Im some kind of right-wing NeoCon. So, really I dont win. I met some hippy the other day, he actually was a friend of a friend, and we all partied to the weeee-hours of the morning. He was a raging liberal. Attended war rallies in DC, protested against the gay marriage ban in Lansing, etc. An activist. The whole time talking to him (he was well spoken and intelligent, just too convinced he was right...a common theme among political lackeys), I could think of no one else but Dan.

Thank-you for the complement.

I'm actually more libertarian than you give me credit for. I think marijuana and a small select other natural drugs should be legalized. I think victimless crimes are one of the greatest infringements on our freedoms. I believe in our country as laid out by our forefathers and the constitution. My primary conservative viewpoints are derived form believing in personal responsibility. Liberals tend to not give a shit about personal responsibility.

By no stretch of the imagination do I agree with the so-called "death penalty for all" proposition offered by Wild Cobra however, to suggest having your life completely trashed -- sometimes beyond repair by an identity thief, burglar, or robber is anything but mundane.

There's a person in our extended family who was shot by a mugger and is now severly handicapped. This person went from being a professional making six figures to being dependent on 24 hour care for life and costing six figures a year (or more) -- a life that is going to be much shorter, due to the injuries, than it would have been had they not been assaulted.

I certainly think the death penalty could be extended beyond just murder under certain circumstances. This two strikes and your toast law on child molestation or sexual assault, just signed by Governor Perry, is a good start.

Agreed. Mundane was a terrible word to use.

Shot by a mugger? Did your family member not comply as ordered or did he John Wayne it?

Either way, horrible tragedy. Hope the scumbag rots in jail for a long time.

No problem, man. I dont post in a Spurstalk political forum to win hearts and minds or better the world. I do it solely for selfish reasons, in order of importance:

1) Meet other people with an actual opinion. I dont know if you all share the same disdain I have for people without an opinion. So wrapped in who Tom Cruise is banging this year, they wouldnt know who Vladamir Putin is if they seen him in a picture under the Russian flag. Or Kim Jong Il, Chirac, etc (sorry for any misspellings). And these people seem to outnumber people with an opinion on a 10:1 basis. My perfect example...The Club (http://spurstalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=7). Mind you, I post there often as well...but exclusively?! Whatever....

2) Ingest all opinions, most importantly the ones you do not agree with. If everyone in the world thought the same, entertainment would be an undiscovered word in any language. Along with words like 'struggle', 'perseverance' and 'accomplishment' to name a few. Maybe most importantly, 'hero'. The world is a big place. I readily admit my faults and laugh at myself quite often.

3) Laugh incredibly hard at all manner of things. This is entertainment. Unless one of some of us were actual "movers and shakers" then so be it. Otherwise, I view everyone here as a normal person with normal wants and needs. Everyone has flaws and some are much more humorous than others. I live by one motto, "If you cant laugh at yourself, youre not allowed to laugh at anyone else."

Otherwise, this board is great. I cant believe a shit-shack town like San Antonio with a small market franchise like the Spurs has a forum as active and different as this. I came in 2005 to talk some shit when the Pistons played the Spurs in the Finals. Turns out, of my 3k+ posts, less than 500 probably have anything to do with basketball.

DR, San Antonio is really not a SS as you describe and
of course the Spurs has proven themselves as a great
team and unlike most of the NBA they stay out of
jail, don't shoot people, cause riots or otherwise act like
a bunch of hooligans. In other words they act like what
they should be upstanding citizens who set an example
for the youngen's to follow.

As for the rest of your statement. I agree 100 percent.
We, here on this forum, are not movers and shakers but
we all have opinions and fully express them daily.

Which I happen to like. I have the satisfaction of knowing
something of a full life and many, a figure of speech,
years here on this earth. Been there, done that is not
a figure of speech, but a reality, and hopefully all of
you will experience the same. Some of you may have
already. One thing I have learned, literally, is that the
older and more experienced you get you get much
more conservative you become. I think it is because
you learn the lessons of life. You must earn what you
get in your life. Nothing is free. Government provides
nothing without taking something from someone else.
They call it taxes. If you as an individual did what
government did you would go to prison. Don't believe
me. Take someones money without their consent and give it to a poor person and see what happens. That isn't
what government was created for.

It's just not just the blacks, it's women bloggers too!


Novak: Women’s ‘venom’ toward Bush is ’so vicious.’Appearing on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show yesterday, conservative pundit Robert Novak claimed that “women, particularly,” are making our current political discourse more “vicious”:


Hugh Hewitt: “The political dialogue, public and private, becomes more rancorous. The dissenters, particularly the Negro, poor and the war protesters turn to direct action, and most uncivil disobedience. What this adds up to is nothing less than a rejection of conventional forms of political action.” It goes on. Do you see the same thing playing out again now, Robert Novak?

Novak: I hate to say it, but I think the hatred toward George W. Bush is just mad. I listen to, sometimes in the car radio, on talk shows, and the venom that comes out of the mouths of some of these women, particularly, I’m not trying to be sexist, but they’re so vicious toward him. And I don’t think that really contributes. And also, the bloggers, I don’t read the bloggers very much, but it is really, it’s really vicious.

Tell you a little story, nothing to do with this thread. But
I was going through Detroit on my way to Port Huron, I was
on Grand Ave, I think. I had a small baby at the time, we
were on our way to Canada and had friends in Port Huron.
Anyhow the little one started raising cain because she was
hungry and it was rush hour. Anyhow I pulled over at
a bar and walked in with a baby bottle, I was all of about
23 at the time and the bartender came over to me and
ask what I would have and I ask him if he would fill the
bottle with milk and warm it up and after the laughter
died down from all the patrons he did just that, filled it
up and warmed it for me. No charge if I remember
correctly. So it wasn't always a SS. I have some good
memories of it.

Meh, it's always been like this. It's a rumpus room first, with the occasional nugget of insight that is well worth the wait. Sometimes it takes a few partisan crazies to lead others back to the center.

Yes it was a good place once, and I sincerely dont mean to date you, but that was looooong before I was born.

My father, uncles, aunts, etc still tell stories of when they were growing up, when everyone actually lived in the City of Detroit. But when they were about 15 years old, it all went to shit. The Great White Flight as they call it.

You used to see bumper stickers saying "If youre the last one out, turn the lights off" with a picture of I-75 and the skyline behind a car.

Wow, got me there. I just don't have enough posts yet to know how to make effective arguements. Maybe if I run to the club and post a picture or say "yeah, i agree" 5000 times I'll have a leg to stand on.

Yeah, it was a long time ago, but in my mind it isn't.
Now you know why I say times were not that bad then.
And I do long for them sometimes. It was a simple life
in many ways, but we still faced the same problems
that everyone faces today. Money was short but
prices were reasonable. Chuck roast was .39 cents a
pound and so on and forth. My first child cost me
$75.00 for the doctor, the whole nine months and the
hospital bill was about 65.00 dollars and it really wasn't
that long ago. 1950. It was a lot in those days, but
the doctor would let you pay it out and the hospital the
same. Of course I think I made about 3500 a year
back then. Funny thing, dimm-o-craps were in charge
and I paid taxes on that. Not a lot, but I paid. I could
go back a dig out some of my old tax forms, yeah, I
still have them, I think. I throw nothing away.

I fail to believe you experience anything nearing what we humans call "emotion". So save the depressed emoticon.

Notice how both sides engage in never ending childish insults and comebacks that don't really further the conversation or help the discourse and debate flow?

Saw some of the comments on you joining the discussion.
Just be advised, you too will be making those never
ending childish points.

But welcome to the group. Enjoy and join in. We may not
agree but, what the heck, we can always make
never ending childish comments about yours/my post...

Damn xray, I didn't realize you were actually that old. I need to treat you with a little more respect (I did say "a little," right?).

No problem, I may be getting a little long in the tooth,
but I can still type and raise a little bit of cane. And
still have visions of grandeur ever so often.....if you get
my drift..... :toast

Thats the second time youve used the phrase "raising Cain".

Helloooooo, 1950! Want to go to the malt shop? She can wear your letter sweater. It'll be dreamy!
