Reply to The Road To Hell Part 9 in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Just as a curious aside, it was you who introduced me to the world of single malt whiskies with a bottle of Glen Fiddich. I've never been able to buy Military Special since...

Reply to The Road To Hell Part 9 in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I just found your blog through Greywar's link... I was in Companions many times in 2000 and 2001. Greywar usually hung out in there (as you know) and would from time to time try to test my alcoprowess by offering me a Prairie Fire or a Thunder@#$%... Good times.

Groningen Protocol in Current Events JoeUser Forums

There has been some hubbub of late about the Dutch fascination with euthanasia. One thing that perennially pisses me off about this topic is as follows: To those that would "relieve the suffering" of the terminally ill or the severly handicapped... Do you know what it's like to be dead? You've never tried it for yourself? Then HOW THE HELL do you presume

Congrats Singer Dave! I empathize with the fighting tears thing. It's hard to be away from your kids... About blaming the tears on Merry Sunshine.... Merry Sunshine brings only happiness, as everyone knows, so I doubt anyone bought it.

Reply to Killing your voters in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Yeah! I finally got some comments! I told you it was an assumption, didn't I? Not exactly sure how one would go about proving such a thing, since anecdotal evidence doesn't constitute proof. The reason I think the assumption I made is a reasonable one is that people who feel abortion is morally OK are more likely to commit it than people who don't. I think of this as self-eviden

Killing your voters in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Between 1973 and 1986 there were nearly 16,000,000 abortions in the US Link . Those are the ones who would be of voting age by now. That is a fact. Now I'm going to make an assumption. I'm sure someone will let me know if they believe this assumption to be unreasonable... As

Reply to Screw Turkey! Viva El Kurdistan! in Politics JoeUser Forums

Pseudo - Yes, there is a geographical difference... all the more reason for Turkey, for example, to be gracious and extend the best of will toward their new neighbors to the east. With Kurdistan rising, the neighboring countries can either make nice, or they can make enemies. I'm guessing that making nice will be alot less costly in the long run. Oh, hey, look! I think hell is freezing over...

Reply to How Our Tax System Works in Current Events JoeUser Forums

What do y'all think of scrapping the income tax in favour of a National sales tax? I think it would be wise, in principle, to tax (punish) consumption rather than production.

Reply to Screw Turkey! Viva El Kurdistan! in Politics JoeUser Forums

I've long felt that Kurdistan should be welcomed into the international community of independent states. And I don't see why Turkey et al are so determined to rule parts of it. Britain learned long ago, and has the perfect policy in this matter when it comes to their territories... if they want to go, let 'em go! Or, as Princess Leah so eloquently put it, "The more you tighten your grip... the more starsystems will slip through your fingers."

Foundations in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Having been to Link , I was surprised to find that I tested slightly on the authoritarian side of the spectrum. (For those of you who don't know, the political compass moves the political spectrum into 2 dimensions: conservative/liberal, and authoritarian/libertarian). This was unexpected, since I pride myself in my libert
