It's okay man. We all imbibe a bit much sometimes, but the measure of a man is when he apologizes for what happened when the elephants were pink and the pigs were flying. I'd rather you come back and keep posting, but we've all got bills to pay. See you in a few months.
I'm sending you a picture...See, I think that there are still some things that most of the world can probably agree on...Pfft. You should see what I do when I'm drunk.
Although, since it usually includes taking my clothes off, maybe you shouldn't.
o_O
Someday we really need to get together over some beers. The stories alone would be worth it. ;)
I apologize. It was foolish for me to post post drunk and angry, and I only hurt my own case by sounding like an angry nut bag.You guys have been courteous, and my crappy tone adds nothing to the debate.
I'm going to be out of touch for a couple of months, but I wanted to make an open apology before disappearing for a while. Hopefully when I come back my head will be in a better place, and I can engage and disagree in a more reasonable way.
OTD, thejeff, and LazarX, sorry for posting in angry douche mode.
Take care y'all.
Not a problem, we've all been there.
Thanks for explaining. I hope things go well and I look forward to disagreeing with you again.:)
Thanks for understanding.
I may pop in to the OTD threads before I head out on this project, but I'm probably going to give the political threads some space until I can get my head in a better place.

Stay safe BT, hope you get to clear your head!

Agreed.
If you're ever out this way, my player/fellow shop steward/hetero life partner just got his first AK-47 and a Taurus Judge ("You have been judged!"), so there'd be something other than drinking beer and telling stories (and playing D&D, of course) to do.
I'm sure there's nothing that would scare the establishment (Dems and Repubs) more than armed Libertarians and communists living together and shooting cans.
Can I come along too?
No seriously, that sounds like an awesome time.

Yeah...yeah. It's going down sometime soon. Libertarians and Communists. Yeah, they're armed. Don't know when. I'll keep you posted.

Sure, the more the merrier.
We've got five acres, so bring a tent!

They mentioned something about a compound. 5 acres or so. Yeah this sounds big. Double the standard fee.
Do you know what we do to rats in the Teamsters?
I can't say here, because it violates Paizo Messageboard Policies, but let me give you a hint: it's not a pedicure and a massage.

Feel free to copy me in.

I have to say, as the OP, I find the direction this thread has taken to be interesting...not unexpected, just interesting.
Bear in mind, I wasn't expecting a serious answer. My countrymen (and everyone else) gave up long ago...whether they want to admit it or not. I suppose I should come clean at this point...the question I asked was kind of misleading. That is to say; I wasn't actually expecting my question to be seriously answered (although it WAS rather amusing to see BigNorseWolf attempt to ameliorate his own answer...how timid are we in the face of our own truths, eh?), I was more interested to see where the deflections would go.
To be honest, I wasn't surprised. Cliquish, insular, almost...tribal. Not that any of that is necessarily bad, truth be told, I almost wish we would be allowed to fall back on our tribal natures.
...and don't waste your fingers typing out some smarmy thing about how I make no sense to you. It is both obvious and tragic that I make no sense to you.
This might be the most condescending and self-indulgent post I've read all day.
Me no understand.

-You had a subtle point wrong about what i said.
The specific question is what are we going to do ABOUT the corporate malfeasance. My answer to that specific question is nothing. Its too entrenched, its been with us forever, its not going anywhere.
You turned that into what are we going to DO, nothing. Which is understandable, but incorrect.
What am i going to do about the corporate malfeasance? Nothing
What am i going to do BECAUSE of corporate/government malfeceance: concentrate on a smaller level of change than government /society. I can't make things any better for society, but i can change the lives for some of the people in it.
I cannot change the market so that the rich stop bilking the other 99% of the population and anyone who works for a living can afford a house. I can (or at least i used to be able to) grab some tools and head off for habitat for humanity and help someone that needs it get a house. Its not treating the disease but at least its alleviating the symptoms.
