[Quote=Starving Artist] I merely pointed out that the president himself declared this not to be so, and when asked I posted a link showing that he had indeed said that. In other words, I’m making no argument or assertion beyond my original comment. Not every post I make is intended to spark an argument. I was simply making an observation. [/quote] > [@Starving\_Artist](#): > > I posted a link to Obama saying it wasn’t a problem, and here we are, with absolutely no one addressing that question… Starving: I’m making no assertion, just an observation, BUT NOBODY IS ADDRESSING IT! Hey starving, you’re so devoid of content and cognition, you have no idea what you yourself is supposed to be arguing. You provide a value equivalent to an empty toilet roll tube. The only thing you bring to a discussion is something to point and laugh at, and even that show is tired. ---

Got real tired, real fast, of hearing him tell us how he used to be a dope-smoking hippie prevert, but wised up and became an alcoholic instead.

Al Capp had some funny commentary in his [_Hardhat’s Bedtime Story Book_](http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2829775-the-hardhat-s-bedtime-story-book), but of course the hippie stereotypes are dated and wildly exaggerated. ---
