I'd like to see a government say "we don't need your money".

bastards :shakes head:

taxes aren't a bad idea... just the people spending our taxes are...

Taxes aren't a bad idea nowadays, when you consider that they go towards roads, defense, and schools. But our legislatures at multiple levels have used those goals to justify all of their cash-grabbing bills, later apportioning the funds to other things. It's ridiculous, though, that our government officials, who are public servants, are flown and driven around this country in the absolute lap of luxury, usually surrounded by high-price security guards. That is entirely government waste. So are most modern monuments, sad as it is to say.

shadobear you need to shorten your responses cuz it makes me tired just looking at them :rofl2:

I can do that. No problem. I'll take everything that I want to say, and then I'll condense them to shorter sentences, so that you won't look at the Wall of Text and think, "Oh my, that's a lot to read." I apologize for any unfortunate and unintentional tiring of your senses from prior posts that may have dragged on a bit far, because that could be annoying.


LOLZ

totally :ugh2: thanks...?

You're totally welcome. And I mean that. I don't always post these big long rants, you know, but when I do, it's very important for people like you to let me know that this style of writing is annoying and tiring. Because if I continue to do it, then many and several users of this venerable web site will be forced to endure very similar painful conditions as a direct result of the voluminous nature of my posts, with very little punctuation and spacing to alleviate the rambunctiously long and run-on sentence structures. But I can rely on you, sexZness, to ensure that my verbosity is held to minimal presence on the forum, so that concision will rule the day, and my posts will be known as more readable and erudite. Again, I am abundantly grateful for your informing me of such.

Oh, and :D

yah and now this thread is dead... thanks to your voluminous nature :bowrofl: jp <3

I deserve to kill it. If not for me, its predecessor would have died several times, and it would probably not exist.

that goodness you stopped talking the way dog food is made - 80% filler :rofl2:

Dammit wtf...everyone is posting novels like phelan now

:bowrofl::iagree:

I was doing it to annoy Nina. :p

Lol all the words were just blending together into an eternal sea of "blah blah blah" :roflpuke2:
