EXAGON Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 Ehi, it's not a news that Internet Explorer was conceived by FBI and CIA in collaboration with Bill Gates (that's why it was free, do you remember?) to spy and control every computer in the world.

Charlie-brm Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 You're scaring me Wewus. :eek: How were you able to put the pieces of the conspiracy puzzle together? On one thread you bring up Teletubbies, and the other clue is hidden here. Alec Baldwin is a Teletubby! Don't deny the facts. [quote] While not focusing on child characters, Teletubbies still focuses on childhood. Here it is the Teletubby characters who are infantilized, [b]having large heads,[/b] full cheeks, and big eyes. (Bad Subjects, Issue # 47 , January 2000 ) [/quote]Actually lots of entertainers seem to have overly large melons. It's been observed many times. Or maybe their shoulders are really narrow. I guess it proportions better on film or something. The only tentacles I've seen were lying on the ice at hockey games. It's OK to tempt fate. Just don't drop your drawers and moon her.

I've yet to name call, instead make poignant statements that instigate debate. My military history alone is incomprehensible to you, and challenging my patriotism in the guise of defending the government NO MATTER WHAT, is really hard for me to understand as a grown man. A man, sir, who just so happened to defend his country in harms way, many, many times. I won't bore you with the history of the engagements I was involved in, nor will I boast battle stories, it isn't something I take joy in. To those of us who have served, nothing has to be said. I am conservative, but I'm not Republican. I am somewhat progressive, but I'm not Democrat. I am not unique in that I am supremely concerned about the human condition. It seems that a majority of Americans, and the rest of the world are in that company. I'd appreciate some restraint and I offer you an opportunity that some of my fallen comrades never got.....an opportunity to apologize. Thank you and I hope we can converse on a more non partisan way from now on.

strat0124 Posted August 22, 2002 Author Share Posted August 22, 2002 My next question is to Lei..... Whats your music connection? Because I've only seen one side of you. I'd imagine its difficult to be involved in music with your belief structure, or the one you've shown here. Not a cut, just an observation. I hope that a musical contribution and/or debate will be forthcoming, and we can see the other Lei.
