Can we hear from anyone who has done this? Is the game really worth the candle? Let’s hear some war stories!

I hear ya, bro.

I hear ya, bro.

I hear the liberals got a majority of seats! My friend, I hope at the very least, it can lower your blood pressure a bit. :)

He's unworthy of you, Mo. That moron doesn't know he just threw away a winning lottery ticket. *hugs*

Well, he's shown himself to be pretty impulsive in a few instances. Past and present.

I’m angry with him and I don’t even know him. I hope you can recover, and if you ever let go of your anger, I hope it is only for the benefit of your own psychic peace.

Lol! Nice one!

I think this party was in poor taste, but I’ll confess that if the article linked to a video of Miley belting out Havah Nagilah, I might give it a listen just to hear if she did it as good as Harry Bellafonte.

Surely we can all agree that this band is going to have the emptiest gazes of all:

I think a person who can look for the best in people, even when they hold views you don’t agree with has the best chance of marital success. My wife has some seriously contrary views on some topics, but it doesn’t mean our relationship needs to end. We are loyal to eachother, have compatible personalities, and things…

The silliness of the questions political candidates get asked, and the putrid, pus-filled abyss of stupidity that often characterizes their answers made me think for a second that Chris Christie wanted THIS family on his currency.

I wouldn’t work there for twenty million dollars and the gate to heaven.

Do you have a link to the article? It sounds really interesting.

I’m dismissing this comment only because I don't want to derail the thread. Everything you say is spot-on, though.

If this was in a paper you wrote, I’d love to read it.

I don’t think the irony is defeated, even though what you say is true.

I will stick my neck out and say that it *is* inevitable that even with proper oversight, evil, abusive thugs will worm their way into organizations and will proceed to act out their pathological desires. My jaw drops when people suggest that the innocent person’s presence was the problematic factor, and THEIR removal…

I’ll admit, that’s really the rub, isn’t it? How do you staff an organization of people whose job is to kill people to further the aims of a nation-state, and keep out the people who are inherently violent? I suppose you can’t really leave it up to the honor system. You need a crap-ton of oversight and discipline to…
