In reading Time this week, I`ve come to the conclusion that I never want to go to the Middle-East. I don`t think they`d really care for my particular brand of whimsy over there.

The region is so fucking volatile, it seems like the crazy dude on the subway you just don`t want to sit near. At all. And yet, said crazy dude needs to be watched by a transit cop-- lest he start getting crazy violent on folks in the other cars. At the end of the day, the crazy dude needs to be policed, to keep him from hurting people. I`m just sorry our and America`s troops are the transit cops in question.

Naturally, I haven`t factored into the equation how the crazy dude is also a fucking geyser of petro-dollars. Maybe it`s a crazy dude on the subway that nobody wants to sit near who needs to be policed...who`s holding pokets full of winning rub-off tickets. And not just free ticktet rub-offs either; we`re talking $10,000-a-pop winning rub-off tickets. And his pockets are bulging with them too. And the transit cop`s boss is like ``watch that nut-bar and make sure he doesn`t kill anyone on the train...`` but his real agenda is to secure all those rub-off tickets for himself.

And meanwhile, in the midst of this, said crazy dude on the subway who`s stuffed to the gills with the winning rub-off lottery tickets is building a suitcase bomb that`ll take of a large section of the train, if not the whole fucking thing at once.

This is why I don`t teach civics or social studies.

I don`t know. It`s just wacky over there in the Middle East. And you don`t need Nostradamus to figure out the end of the world is gonna have something to do with that region. For years America was deeply afraid of the Russians. Now, the Middle East makes Khruschev beating his shoe on a podium and telling the US ``we willl bury you!`` seem as threatening as Elmer Fudd buring wabbit season.

I mean, back during the Cold War, the two ``Super Powers`` held one another in check with the threat of Mutually Assured Destruction; neither side would rush into battle as neither side saw the benefit of being fucking dead. But with Middle Eastern extremists, you have an adversary who couldn`t give a **** about M.A.D, so long as the decadence of the west is wiped out (not to mention all the western inhabitants).

Even in their most cartoonish, Rambo-like villainy, the ``Commies`` still seemed human; and that, I believe, had al lot to do with their investment in this world. As a Godless bunch, they didn`t look at an afterlife for justice/reward; it was all about the right here, right now. Now, the US is at odds with a bunch of relgious zealots who couldn`t give a **** about the present, beyond making sure we`re not in in for very long. They took to the next life, where ****`s gonna be better than it if for them here and now. And when you read about what life over there is like, who can blame them? I, too, would be looking to run to Jesus (or Allah) if my world was full of unrest, poverty, hatred and fear as their world seems to be. Fuck life, at that point-- ``Let`s get busy dying; anything`s gotta be better than this horse-shit existance``.

Whoever said ``May you live in interesting times`` needs a smack in the fucking head. I`d prefer **** to be PBS-boring over the current geo-political climate any day.

well said, bra

GIMME A PISTOL AND PUT ME ON THE FRONT LINES.

I'LL BE ALL OVER THEIR ASSES LIKE THE COLE TRAIN.

[Drizzy Drake]

And you fucks wonder why this place is going to hell. Every week I see one of you on your knees asking god why there is nothing of substance left on GSSF. This is why. You're like the annoying little brat that threatens to run away from home, and then when their mother kicks them out, they sit and cry at the front door until they are let back in.

You expect that this place to be civilized with meaningful, intelligent conversations, yet when somebody tries to hold one you **** all over it.

Once again, I have nothing against your reckless behavior, but you guys are painfully retarded thinking you'll get it both ways.

[Toasty]

I think I'll go out on a limb and say maybe you shouldn't have posted this in the common room.

[Drizzy Drake]

Oh that's right, sorry, I forgot Common Room meant "make a complete ass of yourself and don't put a second of thought into any of your posts." I guess this one was my bad.

[Toasty]

Well that is kinda what we do in here.

I mean, the Off-Topic section isn't there just to look pretty you know.

[Drizzy Drake]

You know what, you do have a point.

It's the protocol, what can I say?
