Hesus Cherist, what the heck is going on here??? What is all this urinating about? Gotta be the heat or some virus jumping out of the screen and infecting normally decent folks!
BR & Classic - never met you (but hope I do some day). Don't always agree with you but sure think you are big time assets to this group.
Pa - Ditto.
Is there a problem with live and let live?
If you disagree with someone, is there a need to go to this length? (And I *do* realize worse has been posted at times)
The greatest value of this site is the fact that we have people who bring diverse life experiences and views to share. Heck, there are *liberals* here whom I like and respect (hard as that is for me to believe [:D]) - and conservatives who make me grind my teeth as badly as thoughts of Teddy Kennedy! There are folks who like to clown around and ones so serious I think they never recovered from their first wedgie. There are highly educated individuals who impress me with their intelligence, others with far less academic credentials who impress me even more - and some in both groups which create an entirely different reaction. Some as formal as a drunken frat party and others whose shirts crack from the starch. Every one brings something different to the table, like a conversational salad bar of immense proportions. Over all, I see this group as an extraordinary gathering. May I respectfully suggest to all parties that we indulge in the dishes we enjoy and simply pass on those which cause indigestion? I do realize that this suggestion will be rejected by some, but it is my $0.02 on several comments made here and elsewhere.
Just for the record, I've had people pointedly tell me when they felt I was out of line - I believe an expatriate Canadian lady (word used with justification) in FL being one of them and it has never offended me.
On the other hand, I think nearly everybody must like me. I just cleared 36 e-mails from my bulk folder and there was an attachment on almost everyone.[:o)]

Iconoclast...Y'alls gay huh? Ya know i'mean happy!...Gunna have ta shame urrassismi9 too though!!!...postin' in the most lame thread of all time!...Shame on ya son!!!...
Okay...can't sleep...back pain...I was going to wait to jump in this one until we started insulting eachother's mothers but I just can't resist now. Y'all know that I can get a skeeter in my shorts once in awhile and just fly off the handle. That's my personality. However (like MOST men I know) two guys can brawl and then share a beer afterwards and pat eachother on the back and make nice. I attribute this to evolution. Mankind has been moving along some kind of "progressive" path (as I term it) for the last couple hundred years. Social mores have determined what is civilized and what is not civilized. The "man" figure has been feminized by the feminist movement and women seem to be constantly trying to figure out what their "role" is because the messages are always mixed. Get a bunch of men together over time and things tend to heat up once in awhile. It's NORMAL. It goes back to what we essentially ARE. The male creature of almost any species of mammal has almost always been competitive. The only difference is, the weak survive in our society and continue to breed. The feminized man is hailed as being "sensitive" or "caring" (etc...) while the strong-willed competitive male is characterized as being overbearing and undesirable by our social engineers.

This, IMHO, is the TRUE primal male trying to maintain that competitive spirit amongst the male pack. However, BR's comments (unlike the feminizing comments of the typical "social engineer") seem to fall in line with the natural woman bringing a certain degree of sense to the healthy spirit of competition within the male pack. She does not insult or try to end all competitive spirit with the comments that we typically see from her. However, there is the female element of decency that she tries to add to the competitive male climate. That is an important element. The primal man from which we evolved could not be so hurrendously competitive to the point where all males involved in the competition for dominance would have been scarred so deeply by that competition (mentally/physically/emotionally/etc) that no dominant figure would be capable of emerging as the victor in the struggle. Hence, the NEED for the female element to remind them of that.
I knew that Tylenol-3 that I didn't use for the wisdom tooth would come in handy. That back pain isn't quite so bad right now.
Let me put it in perspective!
I have a Mother, I have a wife, we have a moderator, I do not need a goody two shoes, with a nose problem constantly lecturing me on how I should behave on this forum!
Iffn ya wanna flame me for that than so be it! Flame away!!! I really don't give a rats *!!!

Me thinks you took too much of that tylenol! Either that or you got hold of your wifes birth control pills by mistake. I will stand shoulder to shoulder with Pa on this one. They yelled equal rights for years and now want to be treated like queens. If you open your big mouth be prepared to back up what you say. I posted something on here some time back about my conserns about a step grand daughter and she called me a racist among other things. Give them a chance she said. It turned out worse than even I thought it would.

I think Blackroses is a woman(or Classic, I cant keep it straight). Perhaps PA and Blackroses should sit down and have some tea and strumpets(or trumpets, or crumpets). Beer dont work with a lady PA-only makes them loose or awnry. The tea will help you tune in to her feminine side, and will also be a kind gesture for someone who is under rule of the crown.

I thought my advice had merit based on experience. Recon,intel,strike force. Sorry to hear it went bad. I don't know about anyone else,but for me, my kids[even the non-blood ones] will be my"kids" until I'm dead and gone.

salzo--I am certain that BR is a woman [:D] I was referring to the competitive spirit among males. It *IMHO* is ingrained in our very nature. It is natural and not necessarily evil. Most of "the fellas" on GB who have shared harsh words for one reason or another are, for the most part, not acting out of spite but out of a natural sense of competition. We all come from different corners of the world in which we live. We all bring something different to the table and most of us champion our own values to the point of spirited language that I view as competitive spirit among the males of our species that can be compared to other species with similar habits. I was trying to point out that BR's comments play a natural role within the fabric of our language.
IF you pay close attention to what is said not only in this thread but other threads as well you will see what I mean when I say , "There is an awfull lot of the pot calling the kettle black going on in here".
