Yeah, but only for another 879 days. I like this thread. The Libs are jumping through hoops. It's like Seaworld...without water.
Obsessions R Us Now, now. Just because WF dogs you for being Canadian, don't accuse all of us of ODS. It's a very small, very silly minority (mostly it's just Muad and Volpone).
Re: Obsessions R Us I know, I know. At times I do find it hard to live in the greatest country in the world.
Being in the military certainly requires memorising quite a number of ritualistic gestures and rules about said gestures, it would seem.
I choose the interpretation that he is not my leader. Nor was Bush, or Clinton, or any of the other used car salesmen to sit in the White House.
Or that you just don't give a shit, and found a comfortable place to hang your hands. People put so much emphasis on superficial mannerism.
While you may feel that way, and I'll give you credit for idealism, ignore body language and communication technique to your detriment. At the most basic level if you fail to make eye contact, cover your crotch or sink your hands in your pockets, fidget, or shuffle your feet; if you stammer, people will think you either are lying to them or don't know what you're talking about. Beyond that there are little tricks you can do like "mirroring", copying someone's body language or orienting yourself towards someone in a group that can influence positively. You can be the smartest, hardest working person in the world, but if no one believes you you might as well get work as a third-shift jizz-mopper or a telemarketer or something.
Don't have to ignore it completely just to refrain from obsessing about it to this degree. And I give a flying fuck what "people" think because.......? I'll leave the interpretive dance to you, tinkerbell. The perceptions who base those conclusions on superficial pose-downs are not worth the dogshit I hose off the bottom of my shoe.
Just floating this, but had Obama went for the proper military salute, all the haters in the thread would be jumping on him saying he had no business using it due to his lack of previous service....... Can the guy win? Is mock outrage all that some people have?? Are internet bulletin boards a platform for people with little or no importance to try and sound important? Is 42 really the answer?
Obsessions R Us Can't think of anything you've left out. This *is* all they have. Some of them are still stewing because some of us were so mean to Dubya during his reign, but Muad doesn't even have that as an excuse. Let 'em vent. It's better than acting out like this clown.
Obsessions R Us Two boards? You're overdue for an eye exam. Not to mention an irony transplant... Such talent! Do it again.
They certainly are, but then again so are your forehead ridges. In real life I've heard thats very cool!
