if i was raised in the land of fruits and nuts(no offense shamrock) id probably feel different. still funny though.

hhehehe...I am a transplant....

In college I got outta control with war protesters (Desert Storm)...a guy carrying a sign that said "our Military shames us all"...had a bad day that turned into several bad weeks...a Professor of mine sat me down and explained that our country was built on the blood of others so that this guy could express his side no matter how deplorable...I will never forget that again...

"What'd I do to piss you off this time, Bayyyyyyyyyybee ?"

I have far too much respect for you to ever get pissed at you...disagree, yes, but never get pissed off.

You the MAN! Just a little mis-guided from time to time.

money may say " in god we trust" but it doesn't tell you which god.

sometimes i wish there was any easy solution to all our problems.

but no matter what this is the best country in the world to live!

One God homie, you think a Buddist or hindu would make a V10 pickup...now you get my point

The original post is right on IMHO and speaks for me 100%.....but....knowing Roy, I have learned to see another perspective, so although I do not share it, at least I knew the post was coming

When and where does the tolerance/freedom cross the line of one and invade the freedom/tolerance of another....ie, when is too much...well....too much???

When does my, invoking my right to a freedom, get to the point where it actually invades/overcomes your ability to enjoy your freedom, and what is your defense?

Wonderful question Jason...one that begs solution...alas...the answer is incredibly elusive.

Along the same line years ago a Russian Officer asked me: "How do you resolve the difference between the rights of the individual and a society in which majority votes rule?

I personally draw the line at abridging the rights of another...freedom (as has been said before) is not absolute...it is a concept that must exist in a social framework that supports individual rights while observing the wants and needs of others.

This is what causes me the most frustrations.

The rights of one that eliminates the rights of many

Although I understand what you said, and agree with it. It's a difficult thing to do every day

A long time ago there was a place that had plenty of freedoms but no honor or respect of others or belief in one true and living GOD. The GOD I know sent someone to see if there was just 1 person who believed and they came back and said there was no one there like that. The place was Sodom & Gomorah and it no longer exist because GOD destroyed it. The USA is on its way to being a place like that.

You do not have to believe in Jesus to be an American....or Allah...or Bhudda...you just have to believe in America...

One has nothing to do with the other....

And come on gents...there is no moral decay of the country that is leading us to our demise...We are just getting older and it is easier to say "kids these days" like our fathers did....By my eye the youth of today is a gentle shadow of the kids that partied in the 60's, 70's and 80's.....Teenagers are more likely to order a double carmel frappachino then smoke a bowl or drink a 5th of Jack...

Today's younger generation plays soccer instead of football, drinks redbull instead of doing lines, wears condoms, drive camry's instead of 69 roadrunners with a 440/six pac, they recycle, hell their biggest fear is global warming when ours was global nuclear destruction....

What these kids need is a ride in your truck...a beer and a bare back blowjob on the way to football practice...(note the bj should not be from you)

This is a new Nowwhat...he is speaking sense...making logical, rational statements...could I have misjudged his character?

Maybe Joanne scared some rational thoughts out of the recesses of his mind...maybe hanging out with Stinker for two days warped him back to normal...or maybe that desk clerk just cleaned out his pipes so well that he is no longer mentally constipated...

I am impressed!

all of the above....

What is great about this country, and as an example this forum, is its hopelessly large diversity...At the nats our diversity was evident but that same divergence was the gas that fueled the party....New Yorkers with Southerners, the aged with the young, the beautiful with Stinker, the faithful with the agnostic, the drunk with the sober.....and not a cross word in 3 days....ahhh....America....:rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

I think this place is worth saving. Lets just do it.
