You're totally drunk, but can still type?
U da man... :thumbsup:
:thumbsup: Unlike
many here, I can type and think at the same time. Try it yourself sometime.
Umbrella39 sez,
I suspect it's no coincidence this handle's initials are "PJ." The political agenda, selection of articles, and posting style are all strangely similar to that other PJ. Not only that, but PJ ME popped up just as the PJ 1.0 slipped into the background, humiliated when two of his threads were shredded in especially spectacular ways. But that's just my theory ... for now. If I get really bored, it might be fun to do a more formal linguistic analysis, see how well they correlate. Until then, welcome back PJ. We never missed you.
Ummmm. My familiarity with P&N extends only to the past two week period. As I am new to this forum I have absolutely no idea who you are, nor am I familiar with the more historically active posters. I am guessing that in the next ten seconds I will absolutely forget you.
I am, however, coming to recognize and appreciate the daily regulars who have posted in the last couple of weeks.
I am conscious that some of those whose posts and ideas I am critical of may be ill informed, partisan, wrong headed, hateful, passionate to an excess, spoiling for a fight - any fight, and there are others who take the time and the effort to have a cogent dialogue. I welcome a vigorous ongoing debate, that is why I choose to remain, at least for a short while.
There are those who waste their time with personal attacks and the childishness of name calling, posturing and the out of context baby-like regurgitation of the rote phrases they copied from some playground bully wannabe; they have problems of a type that cannot be resolved on anonymous discussion threads. With these cases I am inclined to have some fun. And it is fun to see them dance. Though sometimes, when they get inevitably and invariably boring, I wish they would just go see someone who can help them get right.
I do hope people here will attain enlightenment but I do not believe it will start nor end with my simple commentaries. I only post for my own amusement. All else is icing.
But this is not about me.
Each of our journeys are life long and there is hope so long as our minds are open and reasonably skeptical.
Have you read my rules for a happy life? Sort of a distillation of Buddhist philosophy. And highly applicable here.
