Yes, I did.

I am considering to buy our third one. Would USA go on Defcon 2 if I do that?
I believe this would allow Congress to finally pass the "No Canada" legislation that has been pending for so long. We'll extend our borders north from Alaska all the way across the Arctic Circle to New England. I believe the first post-military action will be to take down all of the "Stop" signs printed in French and replace them with English versions.

LOL! That is soooo overdue. Time to take care of those uncivilized Canucks! 54'40" or FIGHT! :D ;)

Not suprised the racism card was played AGAIN! Every thread about the South on this board brings up racism. Whatever guys. I am glad all of you have lived in Alabama before. Someone should ask Skoorb or Mrs. Skoorb to post in this thread. They moved from Canada to Alabama. Ask them what they think about the South.

Holy guacamole, Dave,

DaiShan said, "Doesn't anyone else find it disturbing that this office, so recently created is asking for such power over the American People?", in a kind of desperate plea.

I was just trying to explain some of the reasons, I think people don't take these matters seriously, namely that they don't apply to them. I sure hope, if I appeared to be using my ass as a megaphone, the reason is the stupidity of that way of thinking. It comes under that "A dramatically overemphasized fool is the best illuminator of lesser foolishness." clause in my sig where I act like a moron so others can see themselves. While I really like and appreciate your well reasoned and, I think, often terrifically balanced viewpoints, I have a less disciplined or loose cannon approach or whatever it is that makes me me and not you or somebody else. Now if I misunderstand, let me know. I just like to come at things from all kinds of angles. I think too, that if somebody could just tell people the truth just with an essay, we would already all know everything.

The first part was just a little joke at your expense. I was just a little surprised to see you use that specific a stereotype in your post. You usually refrain from that. I also appreciate your sarcasm here "While I really like and appreciate your well reasoned and, I think, often terrifically balanced viewpoints".

Let me get this straight....There are actual morons, such as the one who posted about slavery, who truly believe that in 2002, should the CSA still exist, slavery would still be legal?

Anyone who believes that is a complete, total, moron. Course he could also be 15 and think he knows everything....

So with 15 tanks, the Alabama National Guard is going to invade the north? Is sarcasm so difficult to figure out? Maybe I should end every post with a sarcasm disclaimer...like moonie.

Hey that part wasn't sarcasm. That was a genuine complement expressing a real opinion. You can ask Red Dawn and baffled2. I think I may have said something or other nice about you behind you back to them. :D But it may only be because I have a special fondness for sailors. It's quite likely, in fact, that were it not for the Navy, I wouldn't even be here.

They are idiot Army Reserve guys and National Guard, the reserve members when I was in the Marines were worthless too us, all they did was come oonce and a while and break carp, they knew nothing and were allowed to do nothing but be the slugs that they are.
