Inane posts? Then why do you and your coward buddies never answer a direct question or refute anything with logic?

Hell, I'll admit you, LWM, and SomeNYcoward are all masters at insult and ducking a real debate. So what? That makes you a member of a juvenile boy club.

I am think you are LWM; but even if not, you guys never win a debate even 7 on 1, now you whine that you may have to do more than insult the easy shooter242.

A real boy you are.

I was surprised to learn from one of your unfriendly correspondents that I am right-wing. I suppose one wing is better than no wings at all; I admire wings.

Yes, that is the way it is at this site. If one is not a collectivist then you must be a right wing nut.

I have been called all sorts of lefty names on right wing sites as I have opposed every foreign policy move by the current administration. "It beats all I've ever seen (*)" to be called a 'right-winger' when I can find no war that I can support while the right is out for blood all the time.

Now in a short period of time, the Democrats will have the opportunity to run foreign policy again and I will still be antiwar and against all interventions. Then those here who claim to be against war will be given an opportunist to show that they are really anti-war. I wager many fail, because the next Democratic Party war will be seen as "humanitarian".

I hope you also noticed that it is hard to get people here up in arms over the vast deficit spending, even though the Republicans are guilty as sin. Why, you ask? They have their pet projects also. :-)

And many lawyers know what it is to be cornered at the most inappropriate times and places for free advice. Some years ago I was at a Xmas Party, and a dentist I knew who was also in attendance wanted my advice on some issue he had with his realtor. I'd had a few, and I separated my lips and pointed a finger at a back molar, and garbledly said: "Kud ew 'ook at 'is peez?"

Reminds me of an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry David asks a sports doctor at his gym if he'd look at a mole on his back "real quick." The doctor asks him what he does for a living, and Larry says he's a writer. The doctor says, "Great, then how about you write me a bunch of shit right now for free?"

re: Bucky/SaintLuded - matching Trolls

Good thing: DvR is maybe a third-tier issue, at most. Republicans like cocaine, Democrats like marijuana, libertarians seem to prefer psilocybin. Big Mac v. Quarter-Pounder.

This is so cute! The Buckster has a new friend. Matching trolls to create their own little empty headed echo chamber.

*sheesh*

The intelligence level of this group just dropped a few degrees.

Well, at least now Mona doesn't have to feel an obligation to come to the aid of the Buckmeister when he makes one of his inane posts, as demonstrated by his response to DCLaw earlier in this thread today.

Thank you Mona, for hopefully realizing that in the case of Bucky1 I'm not railing against the philosophy but rather the quite obvious deranged individual. For the most part, anyway :-)

bucky1 & Missing You

Hey man! I am missing you over at the other thread. Can you come back and we can keep debating? (I never insulted you right? It would be pleasant! wink!)

@DCLAW1

I am indeed licensed to practice in Maryland (not Pennsylvania), but my practice is entirely federal. As any lawyer can relate, I do get constant requests for legal assistance from friends and family, and I turn down nearly all of them because it's rarely ever a good idea, for multiple reasons.

And many lawyers know what it is to be cornered at the most inappropriate times and places for free advice. Some years ago I was at a Xmas Party, and a dentist I knew who was also in attendance wanted my advice on some issue he had with his realtor. I'd had a few, and I separated my lips and pointed a finger at a back molar, and garbledly said: "Kud ew 'ook at 'is peez?"

I've even gotten email from people I only know online requesting legal advice, and when I try to explain that I'm not licensed in their state and do not know its laws, they seem to think that's some minor issue and that I'm blowing them off. (Many lawyers who express legal opinions at their web sites post big disclaimers that they do not intend any particular individual to take their musings as legal advice, and that they should consult a lawyer in their own state, including on any topic the lawyer blogger addresses. The potential liability reasons for this are obvious.)

@bucky

and I find most of them non-political as far as D v. R,

Good thing: DvR is maybe a third-tier issue, at most. Republicans like cocaine, Democrats like marijuana, libertarians seem to prefer psilocybin. Big Mac v. Quarter-Pounder.

Bye Bye Bucky

You will not even support Benjerman Franklin's right to own his press; and the man is dead and can not hurt you! He would if still alive of course; cowardly collectivists like you would have been a novelty back then.

You are clearly typing these things from the confines of a mental institution. Or should be.

My note got lost in the last post.

Note: Benjerman is my attempt to imitate that horrible sound NY Yankees make when they say Benjamin.
