well, that about sums up 200 years of american history.

Actually, it does more than that. It sums up the history of mankind since thousands of years ago. He has been forced to behave. However, the fact remains that you can take the man out of the barbarian area but you can't take the barbarian out of the man.

Ditto... now get the f&*k off my yacht. (not you LGB... but everyone else) It's great I live in NY for half the year- when I tell people STFU they think I'm making an executive decision. I especially like driving slow and pissing off New York drivers. I tell them it's a Florida state mandate to piss them off.

See? That's a hoary old stereotype about lawyers being obnoxious. I work with lawyers everyday and many of my friends are lawyers. You could not find a nicer bunch...oh who the Hell am I trying to kid? Most lawyers are dicks...

For me at least, it's a place to discuss things that I would not discuss at work. Our new GM questioned me one day about being from Jersey therefore I MUST have a particular political party affiliation. I told him not to ask me again as I will not discuss religion, politics or my personal life at work.

Take a look at this informational video.

Red vs Blue, you rule dude.

I saw the How To Behave On An Internet Forum before and I have to agree. It should be like standard reading in school, everyone should have a copy.

agreed, i was thinking this as well.

it is MISplaced, but in addition - DISplaced since, as the title suggests, the froums are an OUTLET. As a theory, unanswered, excess frustration is vented on the internet after it has been accumulated in the outside world.

good call.. primarily, I dont find myself a hate provoking person, and when people respond in kind, I question it.

althout it seems many already hate this thread.

I don't do that. I sleep without clothes on.

Just out of curiosity aklim....have you had any infractions?
