I chose to support the ACLU of Maryland.

I once sent $20 to Amnesty International even though I disagree with their stand on the Death Penalty (I support it, they do not) because I respected their stand.

The national ACLU used to oppose the idea of "Dual Sovereignity" in that if you are charged with a crime by either the Federal Government or the State Government, if you are convicted, or acquitted by one of them, the other can still prosecute you for the same crime.

That is, they used to oppose this, until the trial of the police officers in the Rodney King beating case, then the ACLU has no problem approving of the federal prosecution of the police officers after they were acquitted in state court.

On the other hand, Amnesty International opposed the execution of Timothy McVeigh. If anyone ever deserved the death penalty for what they did, he certainly qualifies. Yet Amnesty International opposed his execution. It takes a lot of guts to stand up for your principles when the issue is practically overwhelmingly supported by the opposing side.

And I cam respect that, even if I don't necessarily agree with them.

Having thought about it, I just changed it to Amnesty International USA, Inc.

How do you find time in the course of devouring the entire universe to still completely fuck over everyone you care about?

I've been buying crap through that smile.amazon.com site so at the rates that I purchase shit, I expect them all to be well-funded.

It is the least I can do, after all, I am certain that everyone involved in that IF organization immediately went to Steam and gave me the votes I needed to get out of Greenlight during the 13 months I was in there.

See everyone, this is what a considerate human being does! I had quoted your reply first in order to juxtapose what a descent person does with what Tdarcos, a total bastard, does.

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

Billy Mays is correct, as is his nature. I am a pretty good human being.

A lot of people might argue that someone who donates to [strike]The ACLU[/strike] Amnesty International is better than one who donates nickles to a long-deteriorated subgenre of videogame, but this thread really does prove it otherwise.

Checkmate again, Paul. ;)

Sir, I will have you know that, to quote Supervisor 246 in my book Instrument of God: "a 'bastard' is a narrow sword, a coarse grade file, or a person whose parents were not married before he was born." I am none of these things.

See, this is the typical practice of Christians, going around bearing false witness against their neighbor.

No, I think you fall into the 'total bastard' category too, just like me. Pinback has long since been there.

It does not mean any such thing. You donate to the causes you believe are worthy of support and I'll donate to the ones I think are worthy of support. What you choose to donate to has no relevance to your value as a human being, unless you donate to some cause that either is antithetical to your own aims or is detrimental to life in general. Like donating to the "Kill all Humans Foundation" or the Republican Party.

It's also someone who won't stop slurping up the cold cut party tray they're rolling around in for 2 minutes to help support a friendship that goes back many years.


I don't buy your story for a minute. If there's one charity you do donate to it's the ADA because you know it's the last goddamn card you got left to play in this world.

What friendship? I've never been friends with the IFDB. Now, if you're referring to Jonsey, well, I still disagree with some of the nasty names he's called me. And I did not like the way Pinback raped one of my posts so it probably doesn't apply to him (I have a looong memory.)

I don't buy your story for a minute. If there's one charity you do donate to it's the ADA because you know it's the last goddamn card you got left to play in this world.

If by "ADA" you are referring to the American Diabetes Association you are mistaken as I do not donate to that group, presuming it even exists.

If by "ADA" you are in fact referring to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as I think is more likely, your statement makes no sense at all, as one cannot "donate" to, it is not a charity any more than The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a charity.

Holy fuck, even I'm not that cold hearted...

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I hope at least everyone else realizes that I run the two places on Earth that you post to, and those two places have given you more entertainment in your fifties, making your life interesting and giving you something to do other than wait for the cold release of death than everything else COMBINED.

If I used harsh terms it was only in the context of ball-breaking, which is what I've done to everyone else here. As far as I am concerned, we're chums, you lunatic.

[In Paul's defense...]

You've actually been nothing but pleasant to me since I arrived...

I finally checked out that other site you run, and now I understand why this board looks like such a grungy mess. "Caltrops" is the child your are proud of because they are constantly winning athletic trophies and earning academic achievements, while Jolt Country is well it wasn't their fault their mother couldn't take herself off the bottle for 9 months, and it is still your kid after all, and every child is a blessing...

[AArdvark]

Dude, this place ROCKS!


Where else can you see silly Youtube clips about nothing and read walls of text about many, many things.
