Re: The Presidential Debate III

"
so what if there would be no taxes? what streets would you drive on?
How would your police be payed? How your fire fighters... How would you maintain a military?
All by donations?
"

yep, all through donations. and if there arent enough donations for something, must not be important enough to build.

"For sure you as a single being are not in controle. but i am pretty certain that if a goverment [the forums mods pwned me before i knew it] up enough to make a big part of the population pretty unhappy.. the population can do its part to have the goverment removed."

governments such as the US, which has huge social programs, huge military, nuclear weapons, the idea that a large percentage of the population could remove the government is a joke. at 10/3/08 roughly 74% of the US population was pissed off at Bush, but wasnt enough. even if every american was pissed off at the government, they would not be able to remove it because they cant threaten something that controls their entire wealth, their millitary, and has nuclear weapons. even if you were able to take away the millitary, you would be talking about currency becoming worthless and foreign investment disappearing. the US government can do whatever it wants and it doesnt have to answer to its own citizens.

Canada has hot girls... like Theodora!

Theo, can you email me some pics?

420,

Beyond a basic legal understanding of what you can and can not do, all an American needs to know is to exercise their 5th amendment right by refusing to talk to the police.

I love the 5th amendment yay! smile

a 6?

Where the hell are you from? I would give her an 8.

To let you know who I consider 10s, I am going to use Trish Status and Heidi Montag as examples.

Re: The Presidential Debate III

There are hot girls anywhere. I think the cold weather in Canada might not be the best idea though...

As for the mph and kmh debate - the mph system is annoying, outdated and thank God Canada does not use this system! Use SI metric.

I am all-in on electrics.

Hahaha - it would be an awesome question to ask the presidential candidates if they'd change the metric... "We want change. Let's switch to SI metric." I think this would be a good shirt for my fellow scientists...

for example: knew does not = new, even after an edit you got that one wrong.  I know your type, I live in upstate NY and they're everywhere, they show up in court quite often and whenever they show up, they generally have no idea about anything they're talking about.  Please dont try to have a battle of wits with me when you yourself are quite obviously unarmed.




The 'i' in the word 'i'm' should be capitalized. You also failed to start your second sentence with a capital letter. Your third sentence contains a comma splice. Correction, it contains two comma splices. You forgot the apostrophe in the word 'dont' in your fourth sentence.




It's very fortunate for Mr. Blackwing that he doesn't require any arms to kick your ass.





EDIT:

You also forgot the period after 'Mr'. '21-year-old' is a better option than '21 year old'. Actually to be perfectly honest, you can't write at all. Your structure, punctuation, grammar, and vocabulary are downright embarrassing for a law student.

As an aside, I wouldn't highly tout the fact that you're an American law student if I were you. In Canada, being a law student is actually indicative of a reasonable level of intelligence. In America, that's not the case. The American system weeds people out after they've finished law school. The Canadian system weeds people out before they get into law school. Getting into law school in America is easy. That's just a thought from me to you. So, in the words of the famous Shania Twain, "That don't impress me much!"

Re: The Presidential Debate III

it is quite fortunate, he has you to do it for him eh? if you find my being a 4.0 law school student hard to believe, I humbly invite you to Albany to see for yourself, you can bring BlackWing too if you like.  minor grammatical issues such as period and comma splices are noted thank you very much. these little foibles are quite intentional as i am just a lazy internet typer like most who do so often, his was not knowing the difference between one word and another.  do you always have your "gurrlfriendz" backing you up, a little posse following you around looking like bobbleheads calling out things like "mmmhmm" and "you go girl" and "tell him girlfriend?" 

Probably not right? Probably pretty hard to find friends between all that bitching and application of pancake makeup.

Almost forgot: Jack Kerouac wrote a book completely devoid of all punctuation save a few periods here and there in case you were not aware.  However, I'm sure such a busy person has not a single moment to spend doing silly things like reading books.

dude, Trish Status is not hot, i'll be generous and give her a 6 though, maybe pics of her from 10 years ago? Heidi Montag is definitely hotter, i havent seen the pics to differentiate between 8 and 9. i admit i dont hand out perfect 10's to just any hottie.

I humbly accept your magnanimous admission that I did indeed kick your ass. I assure you, if I had a heart, it would rejoice.


Only a 4.0 law student? Why stop there? You may as well claim to be a 5.0 or a 6.0 law student for all the weight it will lend to your arguments.


It is no harder to hit the '.' key than it is to hit the ',' key.


Unfortunately no, I do not have a little posse that follows me around. I'm sure that at some point down the road, you will discover that if you apply logic and reasoning to situations and verbalize coherent thoughts and arguments, there will be people who will agree with you and shout out things like, "You go girl!". In fact, as a lawyer, you will be doing your best to get the judge to think, "You go girl!". Sure, it's not the most elegant expression, but it gets its point across.


Here in Canada, we do not apply makeup to our pancakes. A dollop of maple syrup does just fine.


When you begin writing briefs, assignments, or exams, you can explain to your professors that you are not required to use proper punctuation because Jack Kerouac did not in a book that he once wrote. I assure you, they will be as equally impressed by it as I am.



P.S. In case you misunderstood the above comment, your teachers would not be impressed at all. Kerouac, like all authors (be they poets, children's authors, mystery writers etc.)  had artistic license. He could write however he wished to in his book and use whatever technique he chose. Unfortunately, students and legal professionals are not afforded that luxury. So you might as well learn and practice the rules that you will have to abide by.


EDIT: As an aside, I'm fairly certain that any objective person who read both our posts would conclude that it is in fact you who needs to spend a bit more time reading. It really does help improve vocabulary, grammar, and punctuation.


Cheerily yours,

Theo

Re: The Presidential Debate III

I have never read kerouac and probably never will, the "art" of the 1960s counterculture is the keening whine of the individual demanding freedom from conformity;  it is my glad freedom to refuse to listen to it.

"I am a soul" says the beat poet, "come journey with me"

"No thanks," says I, "for insisting on your own dignity and genius is repression equal to the draft. At least the war might end someday"

"Your soul must grow through exposure to alternative value systems" replies the guru

"The notion you have anything to teach me is presumptuous and mistaken. I learnt how to shout "me me me" as well as you do by age four" says i

"You sadden me, I weep for our common culture"

"Me me me"

"What will you pass on to future generations of our angst in a time of false dichotomies"

"Me me me"

"How will you avoid repeating the errors of the past, the squares who try to turn souls into cookie cutter corporate clones--"

"Me me me"

"Will you shut up and act with some goddam respect for others?"

"You sound like your dad"

"THATS IT rawr"

Re: The Presidential Debate III

yeah agreed, this is nuts, she didnt even get the pancake makeup joke. this is like trying to have an argument with a dyed in the wool 40 year old. 

nietzsche's ethical system?  you really want me to spoon feed some of that to you?  alright since you seem to not have read any you no doubt dont understand that nietzsche, much like sarte, didnt think much at all about ethics or a system thereof.  it's very well explained in "Also Sprach Zarathustra" which outlines that man should make his own way in the world, and that choices are essentially what makes up a person's life in every aspect, be it ethical or otherwise.  Ethical concerns are generally heaped on your by society and tend to do nothing but weigh one down.  An individual should endeavor to live a certain a certain way and accept the choices that he/she has made.  You see this evidenced when zarathustra explains how you should not go around offering ethical advice to people but rather, offer it only if they ask you about it, and even then, to be weary that they're not just trying to slip some honey into your ear.  He talks about extending your paw if it is asked for but to make sure that the paw has claws.  simple enough right?  you make choices, you live your life, and you dont go around shoving it in someone elses face or try to extract silly bits of knowledge from them through treachery or simply because you think you know better.

and was that edit because you could spell Mr(.) Nietzsche's name?

good god, what part of canada are you crazies from? thank god i dont venture over there.

Re: The Presidential Debate III

pretty obvious  you dont read kerouac.  does your literary knowledge extend only to o'reilly and cliff notes?

EDIT: On another note, I do agree with part of your post "spitting mad" though, I thought the idea of bailout was terrible.  Companies responsible should just bite the bullet and shut up, not go on a hunting outing in England on our dime.

Re: The Presidential Debate III

Yes kerouac is obviously the pinnacle of Western Literature roll

I got tired of reading fake stories of alienation and cynicism and social criticism and repression, especially since The Movement WON and immediately imposed its own unthinking closemindedness. It wasnt a Pope who came up with the Three Night Rule

I also became aware that cracking the secrets of a bar of steel or making a plant grow was more socially vital than knowing what Orwell thought about Catholicism.

So i dont worship at the Altar of Doubt and Self Exploration anymore, I read what entertains and diverts me. Narrative history is also speculative and personal and actually happened. I'm rereading "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" and I'll reread "The Fall of the Third Republic" next, those are soothing in times of seeming political turmoil.
