Shouldn't we send some if not all teh decision makers of the world here to get a better perspective of what we need?

the final frontier

Hope:
everything will be okay in the end.
if it is not okay, then it is not the end.

the scientists who would do the discovering there are mostly liberals, the enemies of america. Rush told me it was true, so it must be, right? you're advocating sending the ENEMIES OF AMERICA to discover stuff? where's your 'support the troops' lapel pin? you must be a communist, i'm calling homeland security.
 
besides, why bother sending anyone to those places to discover anything? all we need is faith in the one true god (which is coincidentally, the one that WE pray to; not the one those other brown people pray to), and he'll make sure the earth stays here for another 6,000 years.
 
what's that? scientific evidence? i'm sorry, unless this is sanctioned by the vatican and AIPAC, i'm not allowed to look.
 
in summation: evildoers.

umm...I'm pretty sure the earth has already been discovered.....didn't you get the memo?
 
lemme 'splain.....no is too much.  lemme sum up.  he wants to send politicians up into space to see our world for what it is....no borders, no govt's....just a beautiful planet.  it's nice to see that view of our planet from time to time.  you gain a little perspective and some humility, something our politicians (left/center/right) seem to need in great quantities. 
 
Suddenly people's cable problems seem very unimportant.....

well at least someone got it instead of just going "omg SpecialK posted something and since I don't understand his views, I can't agree with anything he posts b/c then I would give him credibility! I'll just spew a bunch of bullshit in hopes of insulting him in someway!"

This was meant to be a light hearted post that pretty much everyone could either enjoy of shrug off, but since we live in a hostile world (which I embrace and accept with my views) hostility ensues.

It makes me happy to know that those that want Isreal and the Palestines to just play nice or those that applaud the stimulus package can still exist even if someone like me got his way and let the Gaza strip erupt into war or not a single dime was spent on the undeserving American public, they would of course sit around and bitch about it, but could do nothing to stop it.  While for the otherside they will never  fully get their way whole people like me exist.  So unless they are willing to pick up arms and fight off all us wrong doers we will retain the real power in this world.  Of course if you do that then you just joined us in what we call the real world proving us right and we win either way.  Now go paint a picture depicting how I am evil and sell it for profit.
Hope:
everything will be okay in the end.

wow, you cry worse than my baby nephew after he spills his milk.
 
not everyone likes you and your views, suck it up and learn to fight back (ie: read a book or two to gain a bit of cranial ammunition). 
 
Believe it or not, there are conservatives on here and elsewhere whose views i respect, because they can express them in an eloquest, articulate fashion. You however, are part of the lowest common denominator of political discussion, slightly above the redneck in his house saying to his wife "i like george duuubya, he don't like them gay people!"
 
this thread is pointless, what point are you trying to make with  this post? That congressmen need to go into the wilderness? to achieve what? they're politicians, the only thing they'll do with those places is exploit them.
 
given your previous postings, why would you even care about those places getting exploited anyway?

well I am glad to hear your baby nephew is no a cry baby, but if I have misunderstood your comment please feel free to point out how I came off as a cry baby.

I already know how to "fight" I'll let you with your dreams of everyone hugging each other keep on reading.  Didn't I already tell you to sell a painting to make a profit, so you could pay for your internet and other luxuries?  Oh well I guess you feel that your ability to afford these things are necessary to be able to really help!  Well good job then money well spent!  I personally look at my paying for internet each month as a selfish want that I gladly give myself.

since when am I conservative?  oh I get it you are in such a war of words with others that you have to label those for and against you so you don't have to actually take the time to figure out what is right and wrong.  I feel G. W. was an idiot, but just b/c he was an idiot does not make who ever steps up for the Dem's a genius.  I rather think personally.

 I have to say setting limits on what a man can do is the worst thing you can do to that man.  I do feel changing a mans perspective can always bring something new to the table though, no telling if it can be good or bad, but a new change will always question and check what we think is true.

I have never said that Obama is the end all be all and never will say that about a man.  I hope he will find out what the American people want and more importantly what the American people needs and be a grat leader.  I don't pick sides when it comes to people I pick sides when it comes to ideals.
Hope:
everything will be okay in the end.

i found the original post to be a suprise from k... and kinda wondered in what way you wanted to talk about it...
 
it was interesting though.
 
and hater.. if k is part of the lowest denominator, i must be some fraction that only exists in some kind of math i have never learned and i'm sorry to put you through it... but at the same time.. thats your opinion, and my opinion is that your views are stupid...
 
there's my mature thought of the day.

clearly you are far too sophisticated and hyper-intelligent for me to grapple with.
 
did i say 'sophisticated'?  sorry, i meant 'egocentric'. 
 
oh and 'hyper-intelligent' was supposed to come out as 'self congratulatory'.
 
and for the hat-trick.... when i said 'grapple', i had meant to type out 'bother'.
 
stoopid keyboard cannae spell proper innit!
 
what was amusing from the slideshow, aside from the colour enhancements and flagrant artisitc enhancements, was that each geographical landmark was so 'obscure' that the author was compelled to give them name tags.
 
LOL at the 'duh' factor.
 
it remains poop.

ouch.... what made you crawl out from under your rock solely to critisize k? 
 
 
basically, what i got out of your post was a long winded version of what you always pretended to be against... saying, i can't bother to deal with this anymore.
 
congrats.

congrats mr scoops,
 
your observational acuity has noted that i have become that, which i claim to despise. 
 
good for you.
 
but then really, wasn't this entire thread about Mr K?
a lamentable one line post, with a link to an item of dubious quality and claim.
 
the predictable result of which, was primarily / solely a criticism, perhaps born from the frustration that this like most other threads is a non-entity.
 
i mean really, what else is there for a poster to do, than to bash out a post which provokes the word 'ouch'.
 
still.... i hope my wordiness inspired at least a sneer if not a smirk from your goodself?  afterall, it is nice to have an exchange (even on this basest of levels) with old friends once in a while no? 
 
as if my sin of writing that "i cannot be bothered to write" needed to be said, when i've barely been arsed to sign in to this (or any) site these days!!?

a smirk will always make my efforts less pointless.
 
i am indeed on my way.  will be in couver for a week next month on a job / house hunt; and then banff for a bit of sideways for a week.
 
and then back to blighty to shore up some loose ends (jobs / houses / hockey club / friends / family) before coming over once and for all, come summer time.
 
but of course you are out east, doing your best to avoid me!  but hah!  i have friends in Toronto and if the couver job scene doesn't pick up, you might sense the presence of Smythe being much closer to you than you might currently expect!
 
be warned!

Special K says I should come join you. I posted this link in general.

Right, so what are we talking about? What has the world become? I remember using a rotary phone back in the 90's which took around 30secs to connect an international call. Now we make calls anywhere in the world and are irritated when it takes a little over 2 seconds to connect.
 
Yes, the world has changed. For the better, or for the worse?
