"They're not my elders. And since I don't know them, they don't deserve some special deference by the way of being old. " Sure you don't want to rethink that statement, AP? You earn no special rights by being old -- when you enter public debate, that is conversation with someone other than yourself, you are subject to the same standards. Otherwise, you're asking for special treatment, something that conservatives object to on every other basis. So -- what is it? Are you equal, or more equal?

Sure you don't want to rethink that statement, AP? It's a simple question, AP. Would you like to answer it or not?

They're also our elders - the least we can do is respect them. They're not my elders. And since I don't know them, they don't deserve some special deference by the way of being old. Well, there's not much I can say to that, is there?

LOL, Sorry Mario. Girls think I'm enough of a dweb with all my history books and poster of Abe Lincoln. I don't need more help. Haha. You should see my history book collection. As for the posters and other stuff, my walls include posters of Ann Coulter, Ronald Reagan, Scarface, and Black Sabbath. And the Republican Party flag, the American Flag, and the Italian Flag. Put a poster of Carmen Electra next to the Abe Lincoln poster and you won't be a dweeb.

There's very few people on this forum that think. And two of them are under the age of twenty-five. Oh, brother... I have been wondering lately when flatulence came to be regarded as "thinking". You have been reading these idiot forums for too long and think this kind of rhetoric is real life. You've spent - what? - half your life on the internet? That makes you proud, doesn't it? Makes a two hour movie insignificant by comparison.

I am not the one bloviating about "watching quality films worthy of our time".

That's because your time has long since come and gone. My time ain't even started yet, boy. When I start cashing my SS checks that you'll be shelling out for, THEN my time will have come. Mrs. Rider will be spending your tax dollars come fall. That's "justice". We already paid our dues. Now it's your turn. Don't forget to file your taxes on time, sucker.

I keep my flags in my room, my state flag on one wall and the American flag on the other along with a Atlas on the third. Hey Mario, have you heard of fathead.com ? It's for fans with way too much cash who want a life size image of a player that they can roll on there wall. I'll never spend the money on these things, but there cool as hell and for some odd reason, the ones of the Cowboys cheerleaders is always sold out . www.fathead.com/cheerleaders/products/

Social Security, boy. I have been paying into it longer that you have been alive.
There's some "justice" for you. I'm not gloating - I am laughing at your narrow minded world view.

My sister thought she was being funny when she bought me a life-size image of George Bush. I folded it up and put it in the closet. If his approval ratings ever go back up to at least 50%, I'll put it up. Take care Zach.

Sure you don't want to rethink that statement, AP? I guess I'll take that as a "NO." When I first read your statement I nearly fell out of my chair laughing... Let me play it again: "They're not my elders. And since I don't know them, they don't deserve some special deference by the way of being old. "AP, that’s SPOKEN JUST LIKE A PUNK!Not just any garden-variety punk; a whiny, recalcitrant, privileged, little snotnose who’s been dependent on someone else all his life and more than anything else represents the abject failure of his parents to raise him with a modicum of respect for people who are, IN FACT, his elders, whether or NOT he's ever met them. People who were real, all-grown-up, accomplished adults before he ever became an evil gleam in his daddy's eye. Just who the fuck do you think you are to lecture me about EARNING anything, let alone respect? And certainly not on how I should spend my time or money and MOST especially on productivity. News Flash, little boy, I was leading men in combat, managing multi-million dollar retail stores, and running my own business long before you ever exited the birth canal. I was a past master of “productive” when your waking activities were limited to suckling, screaming, and smearing your feces on the wall. God have mercy on any poor bastards that have the misfortune of serving under you. You’d best hope not to have an assignment in combat arms or it’ll be a fucking miracle if you don’t end up with a buttload of “friendly” frag. Don t want to be treated like a punk? Quit acting like one.
