FAQ's: I cannot find them.

Get A Feel for the Group: I did that now I am numb.

Make Shur Your Topic Fits Theirs: I do not cuss, so you just
fill in your own.

Is there some imagist out there that can explain what is
happening on their screen with this alleged double spacing
between the words? Since I do not have a computer and the
only flack comes from "Talk Bizzare" I need your honest
explanation. Please attempt to respond without vulgarities and
humiliations because if while I am reading your attempts and
some family member walks through the room, I must quickly tap
the "go-away-button" upon which my finger constantly rests for
emergencies, thereby not enabling you to be read by me. Thank
you all.

Love for and to all, Paminfarm and welcome to the Bible Belt .

Well, I suppose I would, but in the same vein, I could probably get
it to look like some sort of noble martyr-type deal where I was doing
something to protect everyone's rights.

That's ONE answer, so let's explore that for a while: You would not only
be offing yourself for that asshole's unearned rights, you would be
ENCOURAGING those moronic acts and EMULATING the outrageous claims and
moronic actions, since you A. Just made an outrageous claim, and R.
You'd be the target of ridicule for killing yourself instead of the
idiot you directed the post at. Wake up. You have no rights. Otherwise
you'd be able to DEAL with situations like these promptly and
efficiently.

Implausible, no one respects a lawbreaker, and suicide is definitely a
crime. So keep your dreams of grandeur to yourself, and realize the
stark truth that NOTHING you could EVER do in killing yourself, no
matter how 'dramatic' or 'symbolic' you might think it, would make but
one cop bat an eye. No one knows you. No one would be crusading in your
wake collecting trash or money. It would just get rid of you. That's
all. You could blow your brains all over the wall next to you right now,
and no one on the face of this earth would even figure out a connection
or anything sufficient enough to post the 'tragic' story to this
newsgroup.

> There would be a statue erected; parties would be thrown.

Don't try to call yourself a hero or a leader. You're neither, and no
one would spend money erecting ANYTHING in your memory. What did you do
so wonderful to encourage this behaviour in anyone??

Perhaps it was all a subtly crafted irony designed for your edification
and amusement. However, it seems that, whilst perceiving the aforementioned
irony which might have been completely unintentional and is now being passed
off as planned, it also inspired you to reply in a deluge of mixed-case
hyperactive not-entirely-unlike-a-ferret-on-crack verbiage which, whilst
highly amusing, is also insightful to such a level that I'm pondering
lobbying for a new version of the Bible with it included.

Or maybe I just suck.

It's not so much what I _have_ done, but rather, what I _haven't_ done.
For example, I have rarely wet myself during important events where
millions and millions of people may or may not be watching. I've never
swallowed pennies, which, interestingly enough, actually qualifies as a
federal offence in Canada and most likely the USA.

(reading from my Tribunal):
"And some things are controlled by the bones themselves, such things as
wetting onesself, playing a drum, riding in an airplane, or chattering
one's teeth."
And also, being passive and skimming through life being impartial and
obeying the letter of the law to the point where the eyestrain from such
reading causes you to blindside a boat, a skiff, rather, and decapitate
yourself, those things do not gain you any kind of heroic aura. The same
way as someone hit by a stray bullet does not die a hero for being in
the wrong place at the wrong time, neither is the idiot who alone leaps
into the path of gunfire as a false-martyr in hopes of getting a
citation and a medal at the same time. In fact, I can actually quote:
"High and dangerous action teaches us to believe as right beyond dispute
things for which our doubting minds are slow to find words of proof; out
of heroism grows faith in the worth of heroism." - Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes, Jr.

And again:
"It is in disaster, not success, that the heroes and the bums really get
sorted out." -Admiral James B. Stockdale, 'In War, In Prison, In
Antiquity,' Parameters 1987.

There are no heroes anymore, there are no knights in shining armor, no
one brave and noble of heart to do courageous things and hold everyone
else's opinion or welfare over his own; you are no hero. You cannot
argue, either, that war is the only occasion in which heroism is sparked
in the chambers of the minds of men, I have waged war, and I am no hero.
Rather we should be satisfied at not having something in war or in peace
to be ashamed of, in that our country, no matter how ill-managed,
-funded, -populated, or -meaning, stands out above the rest as a
resilient, strong, healthy, rich nation which does not back down (even
if it rarely if ever makes a stand anymore) and will not accept the fact
that it can ever be defeated, we have fought for that description since
we pounded back the british in the revolution, and we still fight for it
today, alongside other nations, including our former enemies, since they
offered to us learning experiences, in the case of the british we
learned how to seek independence from oppression, and now we choose to
fight oppression in other lands, even as we change, no, not with the
winds or the tides, but with the people, the soldiers, the workers, a
proud few of which are officially heroes, and behind them the means to
power that freedom which intensified their loyalty TO BECOME heroism.
-Mao Tse-Tung

In case anyone's wondering, no new-reading-worthy posters
from webtv have appeared. In fact, webtv has been pretty
quiet, if you know what I mean. For example, in my current
spool, we have, in decreasing order of quantity,
Elspeth, Elvis, Elaine [hey, do I see a pattern here?],
and a spam.

And now for your reading pleasure, I'll pretend I'm
