    Default An olive branch

    I admire and respect all of you for, first, having the intelligence to formulate your ideas and second having the guts to post them. I’m an American. I’d rather have an argument than a compromise. So shake my hand or slap my face, but don’t give me any middle of the road crap. Ideas should clash like colliding trains. Some of you may think that I am just a freaking alpha . If that is the case, then I will just have to say, “You’re absolutely right!”.
    See, we really can agree on some things.

    Sometimes good people must kill bad people to protect the rest of the people.

    May I point you to Usenet? There you can express your views as abrasively as you like without fear of compromise or censorship. I'd quote a few choice examples, but I fear I would be banned as a result.

    There are few things more annoying than some idiot who has never done anything trying to say definitively how something should be done.

    I rather have a solution than an argument, if that includes a compromise then so be it.

    Of course not, you're simply a misunderstood person who needs to be enlighted to the true path.

    And I wouldn't call that an olive branch either, but if you see it that way, I'll comprimise and accept it.

    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    Yeah, I was wondering where the olive branch fit in the opening post, too... maybe he meant something more like this kind of branch...

    And Miles, you wanna replace that naughty, naughty word entirely with stars or daisies, 'cause it doesn't rhyme well with the olive branch.

    Plus, it will sadden our daisy-friendly mod, too.
    Therapy helps, but screaming obscenities is cheaper.

    What, you've never been slapped in the face with one before? Welcome to the club.
