The oldest greatest hit, from 2005 (I'll read more later):

And with what I've stated up top, where do you come of wanting to foce insurance companies to pay for BC pills? Shouldn't sex for pleasure fall on the individual to ensure that it is responsible sex, and paid for by herself? Why should I and other individuals pay for BC pills? That is your personal business, not mine, so you go pay for it. It's more expensive than condoms, well then have your partner help you pay for it as well. It's a team effort here. The last thing that I would do is force other people to pay for my personal sex life. How outrageous and selfish. It should be up to individual couples to pay for their sex lives, not societies.

Why is it always up to me. I gotta raise unwanted kids. I gotta pay for women who produce unwanted pregnancies. I gotta pay for sorority chicks birth control. I don't ask for a damn thing from anyone, why can't you stop asking shit from me.
The worst part was how totally right he was sometimes, like above.

Why has Jeb gained no traction? Is it because he's a Bush?

The country still seems mostly made up of the same idiots who made his brother a two termer though.

He's such a sad-sack. Trump was really effective at recognizing that lack of energy and charisma, and painting him as a complete milquetoast. I have no doubt he's had a hand in coloring Jeb's public perception.

Yeah, I mean, say what you want about W, but he had a recognizable personality--he could be funny, self-depricating, serious, pious, a straight-shooter cowboy-type...some of these elements may have been a bit concocted, but you could pick him out of a lineup. Jeb! comes off as kiddie-pool shallow when it comes to actual human complexity.

That impressed the hell out of me, since I spent about five years offering the same statistics over and over again and watching the same people act like it was new and sometimes doubtful information.
I thought LW was a bot that pulled FoxNews talking points out of a data base depending upon keywords in the conversation.

I miss LW man. And GV. And buffalohed.

Nothing like people who will stand their ground in the face of all contrary evidence and passionately and aggressively assert their superiority to keep a N&D forum humming along.

RM, WHO WILL RISE TO THE CHALLENGE AND TAKE THE MANTLE OF THE BROTHERS WE'VE LEFT BEHIND???

You act like he wouldn't sneak on the backdoor without paying the fare.

A lot of people wouldn't take public transportation even if it was free. I remember having it out with him one time on this subject.

Is that because they're against the idea of public transportation or b/c they don't want to be trapped in a box with bus riders?

Does anyone want to be stuck in a box with at least one seriously mentally ill person?
