RE: Should there be a license to use the internet?

rolling on the floor laughing You're REALLY hilarious, Riz! You ask Lindsey NOT to use derogatory terms! And you say I KNOW NO BETTER! So WHEN did calling people "useless: and "unintelligent" STOP being derogatory? You have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how fatuous your posts are, DO YOU, Riz? You complain about OTHERS DOING THE EXACT SAME THINGS YOU'RE DOING! And TRY to represent yourself as the "RIGHTEOUS" one! And the SAD thing is, that YOU BELIEVE yourself! You're an egotistical elitist, with an inferiority complex! You're a REAL "work of art", Riz! But KEEP POSTING! You're getting to be as funny as LeeNOTSOCharming! rolling on the floor laughing banana yay

RE: Should there be a license to use the internet?

rolling on the floor laughing I see YOU DON'T READ MINDS vert well EITHER, Riz! rolling on the floor laughing But YOU want US to read YOURS? confused Your ELITISM is showing, sport! thumbs down grin

RE: Should there be a license to use the internet?

thumbs up I HAVE to agree with you, Rachie! The MAJORITY NEVER speaks up, in/on the threads! IF they DID, Riz WOULD BE GETTING a LOT MORE grief, than he's getting NOW! You're WELCOME to think that a majority would support him, IF you wish! laugh There's STILL a lot of people that choose to believe the world is FLAT, TOO! And, WHO KNOWS? They MIGHT BE RIGHT! "I" don't know! And I'll put EVERY CENT on the line that YOU DON'T KNOW, EITHER! You THINK you do! But THAT is JUST AN OPINION. Rachie! But allow us PEONS to have an opinion, TOO! IF you would, PLEASE? comfort hug handshake

RE: Should there be a license to use the internet?

confused Hum? Okay. It IS your right to say WHATEVER YOU WISH, HOWEVER you wish, in ANY country! Yours! Mine! or THEIRS! I'll fight for that! But it's JUST AS MUCH Rainy's, and mine, and EVERYBODY ELSE'S! If you THINK it's ALRIGHT, for YOU, WHAT MAKES IT WRONG, for HER? dunno Sorry, but I MUST have MISSED something! Is the double standard De Rigueur, now? doh sigh uh oh moping

RE: Should there be a license to use the internet?

rolling on the floor laughing Okay. Riz! I CAN give you THAT one! But YOU ARE a "MINORITY" of ONE! So QUIT UPSETTING the MAJORITY! doh comfort moping sigh

RE: Should there be a license to use the internet?

Thank you, Riz! NOW, since we're ALL "free" to speak our minds, would you PLEASE STOP trying to PUSH REGULATION DOWN OUR THROATS! You're WELCOME to IGNORE WHATEVER you wish! But STOP TRYING to tell us we CAN'T SAY it! Thank you! For LETTING US HAVE our "rights"! handshake comfort grin

RE: Should there be a license to use the internet?

rolling on the floor laughing "I" READ VERY WELL, Riz! I READ what you SAY/WRITE! NOT your mind! IF "I" had NOT "understood" WHAT you said (AGAIN, SORRY, but you CAN'T HOLD ME RESPONSIBLE for NOT reading your mind!), I PROBABLY WOULDN'T have commented! But THAT IS one of YOUR problems, Riz! You DON'T SAY what you MEAN, very well! You CONSISTENTLY say things, and THEN, WHEN somebody calls you on WHAT you said, YOUR DEFENSE IS "Oh! That's NOT what I MEANT!" Well, IF it's NOT WHAT YOU MEAN, then DON'T SAY IT, Riz! SAY what you MEAN! And MEAN what you SAY! Or does THAT on;ly apply to us LESSER beings?

Restrictions, of ANY type, ARE restrictions, Riz! Hence, BY DEFINITION, Riz, they ARE LIMITATIONS! And YOUR TRYING to SAY THEY AREN'T, DOESN'T MAKE THEM LESS SO! Either you're FOR freedom of speech! Or you're AGAINST freedom of speech, Riz! Or are you a LITTLE BIT pregnant?

As far as WHEN HAVE you RESTRICTED or IMPOSED, "censorship"? You're RIGHT! You HAVEN'T! YET! BECAUSE, as of NOW, you DON'T HAVE THE POWER! But THAT IS what this WHOLE ARGUMENT IS about! You WANT "the POWER"! You're TRYING YO CONVINCE EVERYBODY that GIVING "THAT POWER" TO somebody IS a GOOD idea! And IF you CAN convince them to DO that! THEN YOU are going to want to TRY TO CONTROL that "power"! It's INHERENT, IN your argument, Riz! So SAVE your MISDIRECTION for those that ARE susceptible TO it, Riz!

No offense, Riz, But, for a teacher, you have POOR abilities! You MAY be the repository of a LOT of postulated "FACTS"! You MAY be able to recite the dictionary, from memory. But you have NO CONCEPT of HOW TO "THINK", rationally or logically! doh comfort sigh

RE: Should there be a license to use the internet?

scold Sorry, Miwagi! It's NOT "failing"! It's SELECTIVE"! You're wrong, there! rolling on the floor laughing grin

RE: Should there be a license to use the internet?

I AGREE with you sentiment, Miwagi! But IF you wish to use THAT quote, would you PLEASE find the CORRECT one!

This was said by Voltaire, sometime in the middle 1700's.

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

The poster you posted was a paraphasing of Voltaire's comment, from AT LEAST a century before your Evelyn Hall COULD have said it!

RE: Should there be a license to use the internet?

Okay! NO PROBLEM! thumbs up Whenever you're ready, step away from the keyboard! rolling on the floor laughing comfort

RE: Should there be a license to use the internet?

I THINK that most of us would agree that George Bernard Shaw was a MORE than averagely intelligent man, and, since you wish to be able to distinguish the intelligent from the stupid, Riz, I'll contribute a few of the distinctions that HE made, to help guide you. (ME? I'd rather be classed among the stupid!)

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

All great truths begin as blasphemies.

Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman. Believing what he read made him mad.

Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.

You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race.

Beware false knowledge: it is more dangerous than ignorance

ALL quotes are those of George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)


And, since you're such a respectable man, Riz, I'll leave you with his thoughts on respectability.

The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is. doh comfort

RE: Should there be a license to use the internet?

Sure there is, Riz! The same way it's been happening since time immemorial! It's called "Survival of the Fittest!" NOT ALWAYS pretty! OR nice! But it works JUST FINE! You can COUNT ON the stupid to pretty much get LOST, in the shuffle! Fall by the wayside!

But let me ask you a question, since YOU use it as a "qualification". PLEASE, EXPLAIN to all us poor dummies out here, WHAT IS the difference, between "Socialism", and "Communism"? I AGREE! THERE IS a difference! But I wonder whether YOU know what it is! And so, MIGHT qualify (by your OWN yardstick), as intelligent, or stupid? OR, like MOST people, only have an OPINION about the matter? confused

RE: Should there be a license to use the internet?

The PROBLEM, here, Rachie, is WHO are we gonna appoint/elect to BE the accountability monitors? confused

Sorry, But I come down on the side of let people be people! GOD will sort them all out, and hold them accountable, in due time! And I trust HIM/HER/IT - MORE - than I trust ANY man/woman/child! JMO hug teddybear grin

RE: Should there be a license to use the internet?

Just one simple little question for you, Riz! There are 7,000,000,000 people on the planet, more or less. Out of ALL those people, HOW MANY do you THINK have ANY TRAINING in HOW to think? Which IS, sorta, a PREREQUISITE, to intelligence, don't you think? !,000,000; MAYBE? So what you're advocating is turning 6,999 out of EVERY 7,000 people on the planet - who CAN'T tell the difference between "a driving passion and outright hatred" - loose! To wreak havoc on each other? GOOD FOR YOU, RIZ! THAT oughta take care of our population problems in SHORT order! applause rolling on the floor laughing

RE: Majority Vote......

rolling on the floor laughing And what gives a Swiss man the right to tell Americans HOW they should live, and WHAT they should do? confused If you'll remember, kind sir, the constitution that exists, was created THROUGH THE BACKDOOR, by way of a war of change/revolution! Or have you forgotten that part? One thing that people seem to forget, we Americans tend to be an UNRULY lot! Always HAVE been. And HOPEFULLY, always WILL be! And you'd be best served to let us fight amongst ourselves. We're happy and pretty harmless, when left to our own entertainments. But when you start trying to tell us what and how to DO - ANYTHING - we'll STOP fighting each other, and gang up on YOU! And, MOST LIKELY, you WON'T enjoy THAT! Because EVEN IF you were to win the fight (and it WILL be a fight), EVERYBODY loses! You, included.

You're welcome to state your case, Conrad. We Americans are BIG on free speech! But a word of advice. Tread carefully! And watch your back! comfort handshake cheers grin

RE: Congratulations are in order!!

thumbs up I WOULD say "Congrats" and wish you luck, like everybody else! And, while I AM happy to hear that you've found an appropriate partner, I MORE inclined to congratulate THEM - on having the good sense to pick up on such an extraordinary woman as yourself! It's hard for me to imagine that you don't have half (the MALE half) of Latvia camped out on your doorstep! And, as far as the "luck" is concerned, I have complete confidence that you're no fool! And IF I guy was good enough to pass YOUR curriculum, then I'm sure he's adequately vetted! I don't see that "luck" will have much, if anything, to do with the success of your engagement! Unless there's some unknown health issue that might limit the length of your run!

So let me just wish you Happy Days! Many Smiles! And be glad to hear that you've found a bedwarmer, to heat up those cold Latvia winter nights! ALL the best - of EVERYTHING! (Can I go to my room, and pout - in jealousy, now? (-: ) cheers handshake head banger hug teddybear

cswelcome I KNEW there was a reason for NOT being interested in dating you! rolling on the floor laughing hug cheers yay

RE: Current Thoughts (Cont)~~

rolling on the floor laughing If you'd quit commenting on her post, you nut case, I'm sure M would GLADLY ignore you! comfort And you don't EVER try to make peace! You just try to suck up to people, while you run off to private hater blogs to vent your anger and frustration behind closed doors!

And BEFORE you go calling me a member of M's "clique", I'm NOT! But if I had to choose between the 2 of you, it WOULDN'T BE a choice! M! Hands down! At least she's REAL, and FUN! Which YOU are neither! You take yourself WAAYYY too seriously, man.

But M and I DO correspond, sporadically. And I'm NO GREAT SHAKES on the "social" scene! But at least she'll talk to me! But apparently you've never even tried to talk to her, personally, one on one. If you wanna make a move on a woman, a bit of advice, friend Lee, DON'T DO IT PUBLICLY! That way, when she turns you down, the "fellas" DON'T HAVE TO KNOW! laugh You've just made yourself a B-I-G-G-E-R laughing stock than you WERE! Don't you EVER get tired of screwing up? Making mistakes? And appearing the fool?

Now go cry on Rainy's lap! She'll dry your tears and tell you you're a good boy! Whether she BELIEVES it or not, is another question, which I DOUBT WE'LL KNOW! But IF she'd talk to me, I THINK she'd say that she has NO INTEREST in you! Sorta like EVERYONE ELSE! comfort doh grin rolling on the floor laughing

RE: Current Thoughts (Cont)~~

The night descends
And takes away
The colors
Of another day

And I am left
To wonder why
Why do we live
Why do we die

When all we know
Is loneliness
A life cut off
From all the rest

It seems to be
No simple thing
I know no tune
No song to sing

Whose rhyming words
Might calm my fears
Or speak to you
And call you near

And so allow
Our minds to meet
Two souls entwined
'twould be so sweet

To know that I
Am not alone
To find, at last
My heart, a home

A warming hearth
To sit beside
A caring heart
To there abide

Is that so much
For me to ask
I wonder why
It's such a task


Current thoughts? ANOTHER scammer bites the dust! I swear, anyone claiming to be under 50 (well, MAYBE 45) writes me AGAIN, I'm deleting it! Not even gonna read it. I've been on this site for almost a year and a half, now. And SO FAR, out of 473,926,013 messages, I've made 2 friends, that I email regularly, on my personal email. A couple that I correspond with semi-regularly, here (one of which just told me to shove it!) Have NEVER meet anyone from here. And no real romance in sight! What's a poor ornery opinionated crazy white boy American supposed to do? If you're over 50, only the scammers will talk to you!

But it's another sunny day, in SoCal! And I'm STILL on the sunny side! So it's count my blessings! Be happy! And lust after all the young girls on the beach, I guess! Life COULD BE worse!

Sorry all, but this IS a "Say Anything" thread! Just thought it'd be good to get the frustration out of my system. hug cheers wave grin

RE: Would you trust a man who operates two mobile phone numbers

When it comes to relationships, "I" tend to focus on the person I'm having the relationship with! The number of phones, or cars, or houses, or VEGETABLE SLICERS they owned WOULDN'T come into the equation! Sure! I'd NOTICE if we went off to Tahiti, and didn't have to stay in a hotel! Just like I'd notice if they showed up in a different car every time I saw them. I'd be curious HOW/WHY they had so many cars at their disposal! And I'd PROBABLY ask some questions! (I'd CERTAINLY ask SOME questions!) But If I learned that they owned 5 car dealerships, it wouldn't be a blip on my radar anymore. 2 phones. 3 phones. 5 phones. I don't see that it makes any significant difference! It's WHAT he (or she) is using the phones (or the cars, or the houses, or WHATEVER) for! Personally, I have 5 email accounts. And NONE of them are for any nefarious reasons. I created one of them, just as a screening mechanism, for people that want to email, from CS! It's not even under my name! I use it to give me a chance to separate the scammers from the real people, here. (Don't feel like giving scammers any important information about me.) And I have a couple of people that I've transferred from that email address to my personal private email address. And we message regularly. NOTHING romantic going on, there. But regular conversations. No problem with ANY of them.

Just MY thoughts, Dee! handshake hug teddybear

RE: Current Thoughts (Cont)~~

ANOTHER beautiful day, in sunny southern California! In the upper 20's C. Not a cloud in the sky, a maybe 5 kph breeze off the ocean! And NOTHING particular to do, but chat with you folks, or go down to the beach and watch bikini clad hot hard bodies flash everybody! Helofa choice! If I wanna go down to the beach, I'm gonna have to get up and move! And it's just so pleasant, to sit here, in the sun, drink my fruit juice, listen to Gabor Sazbo, and waste the rest of the day. happy place daydream cheers hug yay grin
