I don't know what else can explain the fascination with guns, that would make people post such pictures, or buy such foolish and deadly arguments as gun proponents do, or hang on so tightly against any regulation. "From my dead cold hands" cries the ammosexual, as if any gun regulation is going to take Heston's shotgun away from him. Truly silly, and truly sick.

Quote:The lyrics are better than you know who.

Lyrics don't count much. But it was fine. But lyrics? Yes, better in many cases than you know who, but NOT in the case of you know what. Nothing today or during the 3T beats those.

Quote:Colonial Imperialism doesn't work is right. That's why the US needs to just butt out.  The US has 0, nada, zip credibility in that whole region now from bombings and droneings.

I did err on the name a bit. It should be called SyrIraqiLybiaClusterFuckIstan. Uh, there can be no government in waiting because there has to be 2.  One for Sunnis and another for Shias.

Colonial imperialism doesn't work; so why are you in favor of Iran and Russia colonizing Syria?

It's called the hot potato theory.  Just hand the hot potato off to Iran/Russia.  

And if you agree with me that colonialism by them won't work in Syria, then what's the answer? Continued civil war there is dangerous for our country and the world.

See above. If there are suckers out there that want a lost cause, just pawn it off and be done with it. The US washes its hands of a no can win situation and is better for it. Just think of it like this.  Eric agrees to underwrite a casino mark for Rags to play poker on. Rags just keeps any profits and if Rags loses, Eric is the one on the hook for it.

And Syria is not like those other countries at all. Each one is different ethnically, each one is different politically, and the USA was involved with each one in totally different ways. Not the same by any stretch. And anyone who thinks the Syria civil war is about Shia vs Sunni is in dupedfoolistan.

It is about Shia vs. Sunni.  Assad does bad stuff for the most part to Sunnis, while just ignoring Shias.

Quote:I'm glad you understand for the slogan of Tauri is "champaign wishes and caviar dreams".  3T's are for partying.

I know; I had my fun in the 3T, probably more than in the 2T, which was more challenging to get involved in. However, I don't remember saying I wanted shelter from the 4T. I want to see action! Like Pete Townshend said...





Let's see action. Let's see people. Let's be free, and see who cares! Our Lifehouse is in danger.

You're stuck, sorry.  You wrote all turnings except 2T's allow repulsiveness. You also said you want shelter from 4T's because a 4T isn't a 2T.

And.. Again, you wrote...

The noise emitted from both is similar; the damage done is similar. This age in America has some strange characteristics. If only we could stay in the Awakening forever. Repulsiveness is allowed in other turnings. What is true-- yet repulsive to unawakened folks-- is allowed in 2Ts. In general, and allowing for exceptions and fluctuations, of course. Gimme Shelter from the other turnings!
