    It looks like in his picture he hasn't had a square meal in some time. And needs a nap badly. :laugh:

    Your silly assed, irrelevant opinion has been duly noted. Now take it elsewhere!

    I do need to shed a few pounds, but I can still pass the army physical fitness test without too much effort.

    Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

      The history of mankind has been a gradual but measurable march towards making life as fair as possible. The greater a society works towards making life fair by say, outlawing slavery, or, oh I don't know, giving women the vote, the more civilized it becomes.

      Not true. There is an inhrent limit to fairness. Outlawing slavery, and women voting does not constitute any direct attempt to assure anyone some predefined level of economic fairness. Of course you can, and should, strive to make life as just as possible. But, as is demonstrated by the current controversy with gay marriage, there is a limit to even that while maintaining any semblance of actual civil order that is not dictated from some kind of dictatorial authority.

      Prove it. Where is there a natural law saying this is the case? Point out the founder of a religion who has as one of his precepts, that there is a limit to fairness. Show me where in the charter of the UN or the Constitution of the US or the common law of Britain - or for that matter the Constitution of Russia that codifies unfairness. It is when we look at the Mugabes and the Hitlers and the other tinhorn dictators that exist today or who have ever existed that we discover men who raise their voices with yours and shout - "we can only be a little bit fair! Justice is allowed only when there's no controversy!"

      Yeah that's what your philosophical forbears said about them commie nigra agitaters from the Nawth when the bus boycott started.

        I'm saying minimal regulation.

        What are your thoughts about "a little bit pregnant?" How about a treatise on "almost a virgin?"

        But government should not regulate or manage business itself.

        Why not? As long as it it done by representatives of the peepul? You trust these self-same reprepresentatives to manage everyone's bedroom activity - why not their boardroom activity? Seems to me more people get fucked in the boardroom than in the bedroom . .

                      No way. I was living in Newton in a commune and working in Cambridge for an improv comedy group.
