I lived in Georgia during the Carter governorship and served in the Navy during his presidency. He was a complete failure in both roles, in my opinion.
Originally posted by mochironAny response would be pure conjecture, as you well know. However, it is certain that, in either of the countries you mentioned, StarValleyWY would be going to prison (or much worse) for ranting against that country's government.
So StarvallleyWy would you be spouting all ot this patriotic rant if you were bor in China or Egypt for those couhtries as well?

Sorry. I should have warned you. You and I are alone with a couple thousand "kids" who's only goal is to "play". That strike any warning bells? It should. These are kids. They have been mind-wiped. The only hope is to softly guide them through humor and reason. though reason is pretty much a paraplegic here.
Don't try to reason. It won't work. These mind-wipes never learned to do it. Just whack em' and hope that one in a thousand will be able to get outside of their conditioning. It's a hell of a task. So don't take it on lightly.
Oh yea. I forgot to mention. Most of these kids are 40+ years old. Just not too bright. Sorry.

Originally posted by StarValleyWyI disdain the notion of "True" as an argument. I find it irrational.
Them being "freedoms devotees"... from what yer' mind wipe post dared to tell me. Yea. Do you disdain the notion of "True"? Why is that?
People who defend their positions by saying it's the "Truth" usually say it because they can't provide more arguments.
You love saying that the people who argue with you are "mind wiped", yet isn't it a pattern of these people to believe in their "Truth" without question? Isn't this YOUR pattern?
Questioning is the only path to improvement. The reason is simple, it leads to thinking.

Originally posted by gpb0216I was born there. I am now in Utah. Try "Afton". That is a town of about 4,000 in a valley of about 15,000. Twice the population from when I graduated highschool in 1966.
By the way, do you really live in Wyoming? Mapquest.com comes up dry searching for Star Valley.
You want some advice?

Sorry Mike. I thought you would cut me a bit of slack on the 4th of July. But you are quite right. Why do you suppose you and all other "americans" take pride in being american? Because of "castro" or "che"? Or Lincoln?
No no no, Mike! I think this has nothing to do with politics...
No Castro, no Che, no nothing.
You are an intelligent guy, and I am sure you understand what I am refering to.
I hate when an US inhabitant refers to himself as being "american".
"I am american blah blah blah.... "
Ok, thats fine. In any case, you are a NORTH American. That's right for me. But I am American too... As far as I know. we live in the same continent. called America: North America, Central America and South America. All us are Americans!
My best wishes for you and your dearest ones on this day.
And being from another contry, I promise you Ill celebrate 🙂
Any continental birth is a good excuse to take a brindis!
woth all my due respects, have a nice day.
Michael (aka LittleBear).
