Alas, my dreams of a small red and creme-white bicycle are but a
pleasing memory for me- multi colored streamers gave way to thumb
shifterrs; ding-dong bells gave way to air zound, C-brakes to discs,
fenders to fairings, bun-jee cords on the rack to panniers, rock n'
roll transistor handlebar AM radios to stereo smoothjazz on my roll
bar, etc., etc., etc.

I have been truly blessed, and I send happy wishes to all!

Chris, any American who does no appreciate his good fortune to be an
American, no matter how impoverished, needs to be taken out and executed
forthwith. We are the most favored people this old world has ever known. All
the rest of the world wants to come here for the good life as we know it.
Even those g.d. miserable Muslims of the Middle East would like to come here
and live.

The problem with liberals is that they think everything reduces to
economics, whereas in reality everything reduces to freedom and democracy.
Once you have that, the economics will follow. But most of us are better
off than we need to be. The standard of comparison needs to be with all
those third world nations which seem to be forever stuck in misery and
suffering. How would you like to be a citizen of South Africa for example?
Right! Perish the thought.

Every American needs to travel abroad in third world countries in order to
truly know how well off we are. The main thing that needs to happen in the
world is for the g.d. Europeans to take on more responsibility in the world.
We Americans have been carrying the burden alone for long enough.

instantly marks you as someone who doesn't give anything real

All top posters are idiots!

Here is a case of the kettle calling the pot black. Why does Pat think I do
not take time and effort (mental) with my posts to ARBR. Despite morons like
Pat, there are some few intelligent forum members who reside here and I post
for them, but idiots are welcome to read whatever I have written also. I
have no prejudices, and since there are at least a hundred imbeciles for
every intelligent person, it would ill become me not to consider the
multitudes of which Pat in TX is one.

"No prejudices"?? Let's see... "Top posters", *all* muslims, Liberals, and
"idiots" (these are all the people who don't share your views or
politics)... "No prejudices"... Right!! :-))

What is this business about being cut off? My Outlook Express newsreader
never cuts anything off. Chris must be out to lunch again as usual. Most
likely just another one of those many dead mental spots of his.

Those are not prejudices, but judgments. I have thought deeply on all the
above topics which you mention and have come to some conclusions. That is
something that liberals are never able to do, no matter how deeply they
think on a subject. The reason liberals can never come to any conclusions
about anything is because of considerations of political correctness, which
always fly in the face of common sense.

Liberals are like children, always trying to learn something but never
really learning anything because of erroneous preconceptions about the
nature of reality. They are blinded by a false ideology.

Don't forget his views on women.

All men, unless they are homos, spend much of their lives thinking on women
to one degree or another. We do that because they are so different than we
are and yet belong to the same species as we do. It is all very mysterious
to say the least. I just about die of laughter when I hear the old liberal
mantra that women are just like men except for insignificant physical
differences having to do with reproduction. One thing I do know for sure:
women are as different from men as night is from day.

I overstate things in order to get the attention of all the sleepers here on
ARBR. But I am willing to argue for anything I say no matter how absurd. Do
I believe 100% everything I say? Of course not. But it is a take off point
for further discussion. Almost anything can be partially defended and almost
anything can be partially opposed. It is in the parts that the interest
lies.

Also, please note that I do follow up on everything that is said to me or
about me. You can almost always count on a response from me. The only time
I will ignore someone is when what is said is just too stupid for words.
Slugger sometimes falls into this category and when he does I will ignore
him. But I prefer not to do that. I like to answer everyone, even if it is
only to cuss and swear at them.

My so-called "patronizing and bigoted remarks" are judgments which I stand
by 100%. I can't help it if others like you are too cowardly to express a
forthright opinion.

Guy Chapman is forever the typical liberal [censored], English variety (the
worst kind). He can never come to a conclusion about anything except for his
erroneous conclusions about bike helmets. Unlike Guy, when I think on
something, I come to a conclusion. That is because I am not hobbled by
political correctness like he is. After I have thought on something, I say
clearly what I think - and I do not care what a pansy liberal like Guy
thinks at all, not even about helmets.

What is the point of thinking about anything if you do not want to come to
some conclusions. The main thing I have against Guy Chapman however is that
he does not know how to edit. He is very selective about what he quotes from
my messages. He only wants to make himself look good at my expense. But any
one who is a regular on this group knows by now what he is worth and what I
am worth. He is an ant hill and I am a Mount Everest.

Chris, any American who does no appreciate his good fortune to be an

The problem with liberals is that they think everything reduces to

Every American needs to travel abroad in third world countries in order

Let it be noted that Mr. Edward Dolan is initiating an off-topic political
discussion.

That is nothing but the sheerest nonsense. I am merely responding to Chris'
Happy Thanksgiving greeting and his remark about how truly blessed he is and
by extension so are all Americans. Of course, my mind ranges widely and I
cannot be confined to a narrow subject. Learn how to read and you will
discover that I am always on the subject BROADLY defined.
