I’m not a Democrat, btw.
Well, good. Now I only need to be ashamed to be against Bush. Honestly, Dio, lately you are coming across more and more as the Ralph124c of the left. Is that really where you want to go?
Diogenes, you’re starting to look like an ass even to me, and I am normally entirely on your side. Your behavior in this thread has been pretty poor even by Pit standards, and your argument is without merit.
You with your rabid attack on Bush for the songbird issue are behaving no better than those who have been rabidly attacking Kerry for his hunting photo-op.
But what really pisses me off is your slam of ducks. Ducks are not fucking rodents (and neither are doves!), neither literally nor metaphorically. The vast majority of them are migratory and mostly they do not fester, disease-ridden, in cities the way pigeons or rats do. Ducks are beautiful creatures, and they are the fastest birds in level flight. You slam them and I’m gonna come after you and kick your ass!!!
:wally
We’re a week a way from from the election. My nerves are fried.
With that in mind, maybe you should take a break from the boards until after the elections? You’re normally one of my favorite posters, but you’re acting like an incredible asshole in this thread. I mean, never mind which version of the anecdote is more correct. Either way, it’s incredibly unimportant. Surely, no one here (with the possible exception of the OP) actually thinks the ability to shoot a bird has any bearing on how well you can govern, right? You don’t think that. Una doesn’t think that. Was it really necessary to call her a “fucktard” over something of such miniscule consequence? It seems to me to be a gigantic over-reaction.
I hope you take this in the sense that it was meant, which was sincere concern for a poster I greatly respect, and not any sort of a veiled attack.
Be well, Dio.
Okay. This quote was worth the last twenty postss of pure vitriol.
Dio, trust me, I understand how your nerves feel. Try being a yellow dog dem in Georgia, just watch where you point that thing.
And don’t get him started on Limey fish.
Ok, I’ve had some time to cool down, kill some random pedestrians in the new GTA game and give some more money to Kerry. I feel better.
I got part of the story wrong on Bush and the killdeer and I was too short, dismissive and hostile about Una’s correction.
My apologies to Una, as well as to Braniac for the “suck my balls” post.
I hate admitting I’m wrong but I was wrong so there it is.
Cool, good. I prefer digging out an old Might & Magic or Wizardry for offing some poor bastards, but whatever. 
Well, you’re a newspaperman, Marley. There may be two sides to this question too.

Apology accepted. Although I will nurse a bitter grudge for misspelling my name. 
God…
This election needs to be settled fast, I am so sick of stupid threads like these going into the minutae of every single thing that happens in a campaign. It reminds me of Sean “New York City” Hannity blasting Kerry for shooting skeet.
Look,
They are both rich and were always well-off. Hunting is a rich man’s as well as a poor man’s sport. They are both prone to doing things that portray themselves in a way to make them seem more like “the common man” I am really sick of it.
Only for a hundred years or so. IMDB lists a couple of brief Teddy Roosevelt documentaries of his hunting trips.
More’s the pity. You are quite good at it. (I was a national forensic judge years ago, for what it’s worth.)
Am I REALLY a Right-Wing Crackpot??
And that pisses me off too. Again, I don’t care who does this crap, it’s annoying. Stop it with the staged media events already.
And good on ya’, Diogenes.
That’s just a rhetorical question, right?
You’re kidding, right?
Do you think he’s kidding?
Hate to contribute to a stupid hijack, but it’s more like one in 350. As that article points out, comparing lawyers in different legal systems is like comparing apples and oranges, but considering that unlike nearly every other country, formal legal education takes place almost exclusively at the graduate level, it’s not surprising that the per capita number of lawyers in the United States is relatively low.
It sounds like you joined the SDMB just to reinforce your own ignorance about Americans. You’re not going to get very far with that.
