I can’t figure out why he’s still allowed to post. Many others were Banned for less.
If you believe this, why do you think Jesse Helms was a great man?
Twenty two posts in and no link?
They’re both still right there on the front page and are the only locked threads therein. But, since you asked nicely:
Great: Powerful; influential.
Hitler was a great man, but one of the most evil persons to ever live from my perspective.
So, would you dance on his grave?
I suspect everyone has at least a little bit of an itch to stir the pot, to give the complacent or smugly feathered a bit of a surprise ruffling. (Or, inversely, feels irritated when the only vocal/visible expressions of “what we think” does not include one’s own perspective in the slightest).
2.5 Inches scratches that itch way too often; whenever I see a 2.5 post I anticipate a deliberate attempt to get me riled up. I’m getting tired of it.
Does he occasionally have a good solid point? Yeah. Did he this time? Yeah. **Bricker[/b] is on target, too. I thought we had at least an informal moratorium on dancing on the graves of dead politicians at least until their deaths were no longer fresh.
That is going for a definition that is not seen often, You might as well have said that Helms was pregnant.
I do see a difference between a great work of art, for example, and a controversial one.
Sure, Helms was pregnant… with greatness!
Because Senator Helms was a powerful man, you would not want to dance on his grave? I do not understand this logic. Please explain.
I prefer not to dance on anyone’s grave when the dirt is still fresh, uncompacted and could get my shoes muddy.
I’m still just trying to figure out how you can half a thread.
Which reminds me, I was at the ball park a couple weeks ago with a friend. The home team runs out on the field to start the game, and the announcer sez, “and now, here are your 2008 Houston Astros!” Friend turns to me and says, “Wait a minute. I only count nine.”
Great men curse their own graves. He who dares to dance on Jesse’s shall become a hummaseckshule. And if you’re already one—well, you’re already cursed, aren’t you?
Well, at least the bill of rights says you don’t have to quarter a soldier.
I think you’re confusing “great” with “notorious”.
Wow! We’re always looking for moderators who understand this dichotomy. You’d be perfect.
I would piss in Hitler’s skull, if possible.
But Hitler is a special case.
How so? An extreme case, to be sure, but your skull-pissing is acceptable and their grave-dancing is not?
I’m sure somebody feels that way about you, too.
And the day’s not over yet.
