Two questions, Frank.

1. So, what do you really think?

2. If you want to discuss my postings on SFTT, might it be a better idea to discuss them on that board rather than this one?

"No speech of admonition can be so fine that it will at once make those who hear it good men if they are not good already; it would surely not make archers good if they had not had previous practice in shooting; neither could it make lancers good, nor horsemen, it cannot even make men able to endure bodily labour, unless they have been trained to it before." -

Snyder what Frank is saying is that you are smart, I agree and that you use your intelligence sometimes to be bias. I do the same thing alot at times depending on the issue. I think the intellectual dishonesty is brought on by the other place and the push and shove conversations there. This place is different if you haven't noticed.

You know I don't like being called Yank, and when I call a northerner that it is usually with a smile. But I have called others up north yankee bastards with a gleam of hatetred on occassion.

The first time I came here I was saying English this, Englishman that. I didn't know any better watching movies is all I knew of the U.K. folks. But they schooled me, some said "Awe Whitey call me Englishman if you want" but a few didn't like that label so I refrain from using it.

To be honest I prefer inbreed, white trash, cracker, honkey and Elmer to Yank or Yankee. I take being called a Yank or Yankee like a black man takes being called a Ni double ger.
Just how it is.
I see something in you Snyder, you got brains, original thought and original idea's. Reason I brought you over, take some of Frank's advice and we all can have a good time. For a long time at the other place you were my only allie for the most part. But this place here isn't like the USA boards, no one here is the others enemy. Whole different state of mind.
I pissed of Artist once, ask him. Then I got to understand him, and he figured me out better as well, we get along today. It is better that way. We don't see eye to eye on everything, but we understand eachother.
No need for the WWF here.
Your IQ is a gift, not a weapon.
BTW I don't think you are a w@#k, just Frankenstien like. Misunderstood mostly.
BTW oil is 50 bucks a barrel, what do you high IQ's think about that shit?
Let them call me a rebel and I welcome it, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of demons were I to make a whore of my soul. (Thomas Paine)

I've reached the tentative conclusion that Frank ain't gonna be satisfied with me unless I try to become something I am not. I saw Al Gore try to do that four years ago and look where it got him. So I guess I will have to labor under the burden of having someone who doesn't understand or appreciate me. Boo hoo, we've all got our crosses to bear. As for $50 oil, all I can do is recall a conversation the other day at the gas station in which the other guy said, Maybe Bush can start another couple of wars and get it to $10 a gallon
