Though I'm quite sure Mad Michael loathed, hated, and detested me, I still miss him.

I one day aspire to MM's heights. I've got the latter part of your Holy Trinity down pat. I'm still working on the former items. . .

Yeah, that's my bad; I started the South Park references.

Danny, I appreciate your candor and attitude. I cannot wait for the long national nightmare called the Bush Administration to end, not unlike you, but I'm sure we could still find things to disagree about.

Howdy stranger.

Missed the 60’s and the hippie exodus huh???

Where is Mad Michael btw? Thank you Mrs. M and others for the kind words although I admit sometimes I have gotten a little testy at times in a heated debate or two.

On another note I don't think wrxsti is a conservative. I seem to remember him being a liberal but now it seems he may have taken to posting views from the extreme right (possibly sarcastically, possibly to make them seem ridiculous?)

I believe MM is in Toronto, reading copious amounts of philosophy at the local cafe while stoned out of his gourd. . .

nice post danny ......

That's because there are too many liberals in Canada and no conservatives.

You must allow conservatives to remain in Canada. Stop drowning them at birth. Stop sending them over the border (although they are always welcome) Stop driving them out with Canadian passive aggressive niceness/hostility.

Then you will have people who think differently in your own country, and you won't all agree with each other all the time.

I'm probably going to remove the bookmark to this forum soon. It's become way too white here. I wanted to participate in a forum where all people are welcome, but I've been here for a while and it's been all white people here for the entire time I've participated in this forum.

But the common expression from most posters on this forum has been hate on blacks and Latinos for whatever topic.

I don't see how anyone can say how I would be lying. I have my experience on this forum as evidence that usually the minority poster is run out with blatant racist views that most can't stomach.

I guess once I leave it will be 99.9% white. Oh well. I feel this forum has made an effort to reinforce the white American perspective. It is what it is.

I've said it many times----people often develop false facades online. I'm sure, from my "pic" on my sig line, that you'd assume I'm white. Could be, might not be.

That would be a shame.
