Cy, I kinda have to agree with Snag on this one (and I don't often agree with him )Not only do I find it offensive, but it's really racist as well. -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

Al Qaeda: Takes down sky scrapers in 2 hours flat!Osama bin Laden: Kills Americans, DEAD! Doesn't quite have the same ring to it does it? Ya know though...it just shows the mentality of Bush, his mindless supporters and the weak minded "WE are the world" American attitudes that plague the US in the international spotlight. You WONDER why some cultures hate Americans Cy? Look in the mirror and then at your sig. Again, no disrespect, just pointing out what you chose (and continue to choose) to turn a blind eye to.

Well, I have been very busy. I have to apologise again for allowing IncognitoX to disappear like it did.But Declan (my 5 month 1 week old) was on the way and I was busy with real life stuff and simply just didn't have the motivation to recover from the hack it took. I haven't been online-online that much l8ly (meaning talking to people) as As I said, I was preoccupied. Played (and beat) Max Payne 1 and 2, Halo, Freedom Fighters, Project Gothem 2, Need 4 Speed Underground, Spiderman, plus a few others since then. Doing the Mr Mom thing since December. I quit my job to take care of my boys. Ryan almost had to have brain surgery (but thankfully didn't). So I have been raising my boys and bonding with the littlest. I'm around. My ICQ has been up and down (as some of you may have seen) but it was running automatically on a little looked at PII 400 machine that I seldom actually use. S000000000 Not to hijack this thread but.... What do you guys think of the conspiracy theory that Osama has already been captured and Bush is going to trot him out right before the election? Read the latest claim from the Iranians? etc. Good stuff mix it up please. I AM paying attention. albeit more quietly these days. Dev [ 02-29-2004: Message edited by: Devastator ]

Nice Hijack Trice Your son had to almost have Brain Surgery? Why for? (probably best if that's another topic) And I still think Cy's sig is inappropriate. Even though I understand the reasons, and the intent. -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

Maybe you guys misenterpret what I refer to as offensive.something that pisses ME off...is not necessarily offensive in my mind. something that displays social irresponsibility or moral turpitude, that is another story. That there takes a fair bit to push me over the edge. Things such as race or religion is one of those things. As for redemption? what the do I have to redemm myself from you guys that I could really give a fuck? your sig is complete bigotry and the rest of you guys are defending it. fine have it your way...

Ahhhhh bagger, we have had this conversation before you and me.My sac is the superior sac (at least as far as I'm concerned.) It has always performed when asked to. However, I defer to your expertise then. Soooo Instead of burb, you may indeed scratch my left testicle for me. And please, for the sake of symetry, take care of the right one while your down there. --------------------

you have it backwards. Something offends you might not go so far as to anger you but something that angers you has certainly offended you. Just so you're on the same page as the rest of the english-speaking world: quote: of·fend, v. tr. 1. To cause displeasure, anger, resentment, or wounded feelings in. 2. To be displeasing or disagreeable to: Onions offend my sense of smell. 3. 1. To transgress; violate: offend all laws of humanity. 2. To cause to sin.

Ah, but Willy, it is possible to realize something as being offensive, even if you yourself are not offended. I think that's what Snag is getting at.It's like, hearing a racist joke, not being offended, but recognizing that the joke IS offensive to ethnic group that is the butt of the joke. -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

Really doesn't seem as if I ever went away at all.snag is STILL the white knight of the offended people of this world. Willy is STILL explaining it to him. And AW is STILL trying to simply understand it all. So, I suppose I should jump right back in and start stirring. [ 03-01-2004: Message edited by: Devastator ] --------------------

Heh, yes I'm still trying to understand it all. . . such is the curse of those with a philosophical bent, and a profound cynicism.-------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.
