So it is true! HA! I KNEW IT! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well I'm not going to kiss you goodmorning either. You make me feel so used *sob* And the PI confirmed the donkey incident, theres pictures. Remember that "business" trip you took to Mexico? I'm shattered! But I'll try to be a good step-parent to our MagiK

I don't think Uncle Dad would approve of us airing our laundry so publicly, fellas. Oh, and Springer called while you guys were out. He said we're in, but only if MagiK and LoA mud wrestle Auntie Mom on air.

Well, Absynthe, I can tell you that I - for one - simply don't care whether other countries like us or not. Maybe it comes from being raised in the South, I don't know. I've heard people from "up North" say "Well, I just can't tell if they like me or not." Here in the South, if somebody says "I don't like you", the usual response would be "So? What's your point?".

Same thing with other countries. They don't like the bad ole' USA. So what? As Magik pointed out, they sure don't mind our foreign aid. They don't mind when our troops come in and help against their enemies or oppressors. And - quite often - their "opinion" is based on a horribly skewed representation in some trashy TV show or other "equally biased" media representation. Very little is based on true facts or accurate knowledge.
And there are still plenty of foreigners who are will to risk their lives to live here rather than in their native country.

We must be doing SOMETHING right.

I'm ok with that but for legal purposes the match must be in West Virginia, where this type of thing is errrr shall we say less rare? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Originally posted by Absynthe: quote: Originally posted by MagiK: [QB What Im trying to convey is that trying to live your life as if it were a popularity contest is a complete waste of time.

Would that be because you simply don't care what anyone else thinks, or because you don't believe you can effectively cover your actual personality. Either way, it's an iron-clad argument for arrogance...[/QB][/QUOTE]Thank you for the compliment, however, both your suppositions were incorrect, it means and points out a universal truth laid out long before I came along. That truth is, "You cannot please everyone".

And I would submit that anyone who does try to please everyone is a fool.

As for personality, I don't see you winning any Nobel prizes either buddy

Edit: Oops we have recently seen just how valueless the Nobel prize is, so guess that was a poor choice.
