Are You a Patriot??

“I wonder why the quote wasn't reposted by Sarge in context? We could all go around cutting and pasteing bits of threads and make anyone look rotten to the core.

I wouldn't worry about it BearMag, no one pays attention on the weekend anyways.”

“I wondered what the context was but it did look like something BM would say. Tisk tisk Sarge. LOL!”

“Morning Nige. How's the wifey?”

“Good. She even made it all the way upstairs this morning.”

“Good deal! Well, I guess you'd better tell her we can't hang out next to each other anymore. She's going to have to be at least twenty feet away at all times. It'll be bad for my ego, lol. ;)”

“No worries. I read the first few responses and ignored them. Came back from a party and saw the thread had some traffic. I was amused by the discussion based on the quote. And I was more than a little inebriated when I responded. I wish I hadn't clarified the context for happytroll, could've had some fun with that.

#&%!$ I'm hungover.”

“And how come no one knows who Dave Allen was? Man was brilliant! I think I used to see his show on a Toronto station right after The Benny Hill Show”

“Like I said, I don't know bearmagnet but let me ask bearmagnet, have you been on a longer walk than to the toilet? I thought this was a backpacking website.”

“This thread is dumb.”

“Yawn. Yes, Mutt. And that's why it attracts an amature troll.”

“Being hungover is dumb----I've heard.”

“But I was told I had a good time last night so it must be worth it...”

“bearmagnet, namecalling doesn't give any credibility to your discourse, but I'll call a ceasefire here because I'm heading out for the night. Not a night of substance induced mania but something more along the lines of what we supposedly come here to discuss- life in the great outdoors, and tomorrow introducing my feet to new terrain. bearmagnet maybe you'll be able to get out of bed in time for cocktail hour.”

“Maybe he should be more gracious under his circumstances

I'm not name calling. I'm telling it like it is, happytroll. You first post shows I need never respond to you unless, like you, I'm bored and looking for a fight. Goodbye.”

“s-rge sucks”

“I wonder why the quote wasn't reposted by Sarge in context? - Sassafras

Obsessive Sassafras has trouble figuring things out.”

“back on topic, if patriotism is "my country is better than your country", then no, im not a patriot. that line of thinking is a short hop away from bigotry”

“I am looking to buy a new vehicle. Figured I really don't use the 4 WD of my jeep all that much. I have it narrowed down to either the Nissan Frontier 4x2 (crew cab) or the Toyota Tacoma 4X2 (Crew cab) they are so close it is hard to figure out. Any ideas, opinions?”

GM - Ford?”

“Y2, Ford....want to talk FIRE CAUSE....and a statement, 'we could recall but it is cheaper to fight and pay the claims."

GM? Yeah, I always wonder, what is more American, a GM built in Canada...or a Toyota built in Tennessee...?

I also own a Jeep, still will keep it for 4 wd capability.”

“if patriotism is "my country is better than your country", then no, im not a patriot.

Has somebody indicated to you sometime in your life that's what patriotism is?”

“Well I guess there are always reasons not to support American companies, workers etc.
;o)

I guess in reality you're not asking what you can do for your country, but what your country can do for you - and deciding that the Japanese can do it better.

“IT IS CALLED...big word....Competition. See if A cannot compete with B then A either changes or finds something else to do.

The Unions are the only people who support mediocrity in private business”

“The Unions are the only people who support mediocrity in private business


... and government.”

“true sarge, but that is the reason we need LESS government”

“LOL - yep guys, just keep justifying it to yourselves. It's globalization, it's competition,it's the unions fault - but when you have a chance to do something for a struggling company that's an American icon, you buy Japanese.

Nissan makes some fine automobiles btw ;op”

“HMMM...AMERICAN ICON....DAIMLER CHRYSLER (OOPS...) but then there are the AMERICAN companies you don't support.....the big names are UNITED STATES MARINES< UNITED STATES ARMY, UNITED STATES AIRFORCE, UNITED STATES NAVY......”

“IS GM Japanese?”

““The Unions are the only people who support mediocrity in private business"

_______________

And big goverment and being bought out by giant corporations.”
