I'm already oldish, and level headed. I dribble from both sides of my mouth at the same time.

So, I will slowly dehydrate in to a large pile of loose dry skin.

That is unless the doctor warns me early. In that case I will start reading the bible intensely, as a loser's act and effort to cram for my finals!
It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Like a man.......with a cause.

Because I believed in something........

Like my country, 'tis of thee.

Clint did. The Gang Bangers 'overreacted'..

And F all you supposed patriots that posture so.


Fail to defend the borders.......what have we left?

So die defending them, or lay down our arms.........what is it?

Which ever you lay......get offa my lawn.

The sad part is Clint's character died for what he finally learned was the truth.

And the rest of us will die never knowing what we believed in.

Many of you think my beliefs to be ugly. So be it.

At least I still have some lawn to defend.........and this will not last for long.

Damn illegals.

You don't remember what our troops fought for, do ya?

It was not to defend illegal aliens coming across our borders.

But the US is founded on illegal aliens coming from Europe and stealing a whole continent from the people already living there. I assume you are not of Native American descent?

Well, Es99 has just picked how she will likely die ...

PS - I'm part Mohawk, and we forgave you years ago. Just as long as we keep the cheap cigs franchise. And the casinos.

Wish I was, Kimosabbe............
But, apart from that, the argument is about defending out current borders and laws as we now know them.

Or, you could just pony up a few bits of bling......Take an Indian to Lunch.

Some of you folks have just forgotten how to forget PC fing stuff..........

Nice place to visit....

my ancestors were thrown out of every decent country in europe. My recommendation: keep the casinos, and the tax loophole cigs.. and buy the rest of it back. You know how stupid we get when we get liquored up...

Yes. It is probably my habit of saying exactly what I think to people that will get me into trouble, because other than that I was planning to live forever.

We forgave you for letting us take over the country years ago........

I'm genetically programmed to hit the floor with a stroke in my late 70's/early 80's, so that's the way it will likely go.

If I had a choice, rounding Cape Horn in a sailboat, battling the sea which, eventually, always wins. (Ideally, about 2 days prior to the genetically scheduled stroke.)

I've been functioning under the assumption that I am immortal.
I suppose I'll just carry on this way until proven wrong.

I was told yesterday that 5 people a year die from pedicures.

I don't want to die this way.
