I would say my gun makes it possible for my views to exist, not your gun, your gun makes it possible for your views to exist.

Quit patting yourself on the back so damn much , you're going to break your angel wings.

You first say i fell into your trap, then in the very next breath you say i was too dumb to do what you expected me to do.

By the way, DFW, wouldn't you say Marshall is just being an instigator?

Marshall telling us how great he is is like FOX News telling us how fair and balanced they are all the time, or people built like the Pillsbury Dough-boy telling everyone at the party how they work out all the time - it's because they have to, since nobody would be able to tell otherwise.

OH--I don't think you can paint all preachers with the same brush...just like hobbyists (I'm sure you have your favorites and ones you wouldn't see again). Please Google "name it claim it" theology. That's what you're talking about and there are a minority of preachers who espouse this theology, although desperate people attach themselves to the theology quite readily, and therein lies it's viciousness.

As the Bible says, "the rain falls on the just and the unjust." Whether or not you are rich and whether or not you are successful has nothing to do with how Godly you are. There are extremely evil people who are quite successful. There are extremely Godly people who are poor as church mice.

Most preachers, I think, would not trace wealth or poverty to Godliness.

If he thought Marshall was an instigator, he would then have to think that he was an instigator, blowing his instigator theory outta the water....


I think what DFW does not care for is a comedic instigator. Lord knows those two haven't been funny on purpose ever!

Yea, I think we get fuc'd equally by both parties butt especially hard by the GOP for the last thirty years.

Equality occurs over time -- not necessarily in one generation. That's the American story -- make a better life for your kids. Most of us were the children or grandchildren of immigrants. Each generation works to better their life and give their children the opportunity to move further up the ladder. That is a powerful motivator.

I agree..

Is there "opportunity" for everyone? Of course. But some people have 100 ping pong balls in the bin, and some people have 1 ping pong ball in the bin. That's just a fact. But i don't expect the MrGiz's of the world to accept that fact, since that would blow a hole in their feel-good-about-themselves theory that they're simply better and more deserving. [/size][/font]

all of this is no difrent than having a "imaginary friend in the sky". Can someone please get more specific about who is the "ping pong" people and I dont want to hear "the poor"!!LOL!! Is it strickly a dollar value??If were strickly talking dollar value than ISIS is the only one that has come up with a baseline figure, kinda.. If we cant specifically identify who you want to help than , how the hell can they be helped?who specificly are we suppose to target with help ?How can you throw out a blanket statement about people having a "head start" you have no clue of how I was raised and under what economic situation as well as any others here.
