So you have quit doing all the stupid things in your life? You have
identified all that is stupid and you have completely eradicated them.
Have you also stopped all the stupid mind sets you get in and other
habits of the same sort.?

Well it is said "how is more foolish..the fool...or the one who argues

And you'd have to be a moron to fight in the Viet Nam war, or vote for

Perhaps so. I simply just turned on to newsgroups as a discussion

That is not true. Have you heard of TB? You do understand viri? B/C
you certainly don't sound like you have any real foundation other than
glimpsing and reading what THEY want you to read.

B/C you have no valued responses. Its like a child when he says
