Yes it is useless, but some jerk from Huston started it, and after my 1971 introduction to Texas, I'll never play second fiddle again. And of course the quality of the BUSH family certainly speaks to the values of the rich, and shoving the down and out under!

Maybe it's just my keen intuition, but get the feeling that this is a very "angry" thread, and yet I can't seem to look away, sort of like a (and pardon the horrible pun here) train wreak. [;)]

But now down to the reason I am posting here:

Within the railfanning arena, there is so much news, why is there a thread on increasing a persons posting record, if there is no value in the posting? This is just crap.

Some railfan posts 100 real follow-ups to threads, and another post 1000 me tooos.

It isn't about the number of posts, its about the quality of the post...

So let me get this straight....you are against the thread that Dan started (in jest really) as a place to "run up the posts", and yet in the time since you have started this thread you have started two others with that general idea as the subject. So I guess I am just wondering if you are trying to be funny or just ignorant, because at least for me, I can't really tell?

GW BUSH has not done one thing for working families, period. Hey Texas, name one thing GW has done to make working families lives better. I can name 35 things GW has done to cement the rich to receive more money at the expense of us poor people.

"What do you call 25 republican businessman in a Dark Dallas Basement?

Of all weeks to decide I need to take a step back from the forum and get some work done. Does this caped crusader have a name. And a martyr? What did the martyr do, offer CSX to reroute their hazardous chemicals through their back yard?

Sorry . . . I am no saint.

Nor is your draft dodging, coke sniffing, silver spooned president, that never worked a day in his life, who never passed a bill in support of the working class. This guy can't even sercure our southern border because his business buddies want a well established under class.

For the record, I was born in Illinois, I live in Indiana, I never voted Republican (nor Democrat) a day in my life, and I have never been to Texas--although I will not pass judgment on them like you do.

By the way, I am disapointed in myself for being so immature to even respond to you, but Ed got it right on the head with you. I don't know that much about Texans, but I know Ed has exhibited more class in any one of his posts than you have in all of yours combined. And, I don't think Ed has ran off any other fellow members of the forum like you have.

I didn't say this earlier because some people whom I respect were responding to you, and I didn't want to clash with their opinoins of you.

Sorry to turn up the heat in here everyone else; I understand that this kind of stuff isn't what you are looking to read.

Since the topic has gone from one of post count to bashing Texams, I'm back for a while.

If houses in Texas had basements I would expect somebody would tear down their house so they could use their basement as one enourmous barbeque pit., since that seems to be what they do best down there (unless you count riding at 100 mph in a 30 mph zone in your six wheel pickemup truck with a gun rack and 12 guage behind the seat while chewing tobacco (oh, how totally gross).

Interesting thing about Bush passing bills.

First, according to the Constitution, the President doesn't pass bills, he can only sign them or veto them. It's up to Congress to pass bills. Presidents can promote or initiate legislation, but it's up to Congress to pass them.

Second, Bush has not vetoed one bill in his entire 4+ years in office. Quite astonishing really. I wish he would veto some spending bills.

And about Texans. It was another Texas president, Lyndon Johnson, who gave us a big chunk of the welfare state/government bureaucracy that you seem to be a proponent of. So maybe you should think twice before messing with Texas.

Besides, the Bush family is really from New England anyway. John Kerry/Ted Kennedy country.

What is so sad, is that you do not even understand just when the rust belt was sold out for what Ronald Reagon called the new service industry that would power us into the 21st centruy.

Although not a big fan of Spiro T Agnew, Richard Nixon's vice president. Sprio stated that it was absolutly un-American to export jobs over-seas....Seems today's republicains are tripping over themselfs providing legislation to do just that, export jobs from America.

The other day I was marked by the right wing as a liberal, I said I'm as liberal as Richard Nixon...

Scott,
He started this, and the other threads, because he needed a place to run up his posting count.

Most of the time, when he replied to any other thread, it dies, because he interjects his rabid anti Bush sentiments into it...therefore giving lie to his claim that all he wants to do is pass on railroad related news.

What he really wants to do is blow his own horn...and he seems to be a master at blowing....horns and whatever else he can find.

As for being spit on in Texas, the instant he opened his mouth...well, that should be self explanatory...

Jim, next time you in Texas, trust me, we would all be glad to expedite your travel to the border, the tar and feather are free, on the house so to speak!

By the way, I noticed you seem real proud of being around heavy equipment...noticed in your bio photo you seem to take your heavy equipment with you every where, and your right, it must require a lot of skill to get that beer gut close enough to the dinner table to trap all the food before it falls in your lap.
Wait, you don’t have a lap...oh well, you know, waste not, want not!

Scott, by now you might have realized that Jim, and a few others, are nothing more than forum trolls, they surf forums, looking for places to espouse their politically rabid views, or just simply pick a fight, because most of them have no life outside the monitor...for obvious reasons.

If you read his, and the others posting, what you come away with is the basic "What Jim did on his summer vacation" or the “I don’t understand what your saying, so I will call you stupid to get a response" style of posting.

Note that even when he trades insults, his skill level is barely above the standard high school adolescent level.

To quote his original start to this thread, note he first insulted the thread Dan created, called it crap...

He then turns around, and in a sideways manner claims his postings are quality postings about railroading, but within three further posting, he is bashing GW Bush, or making some other political statement, often so out in left field as to be incomprehensible...babble for babbles sake.

You know how it works; ask yourself a question, just so you can answer yourself in the next posting, therefore upping your posting count....

Which, of course, is the real point to Jim having started this thread in the first place, it gives him a place to rant, rave, and generally show off his lack of skills or grasp of any issue that doesn’t directly involve him...you know, like food, beer, ...food...ummmm, beer...heavy equipment, union membership, more beer...you know, his kind of topics.


Uh, Jim...about that quality issue;
Any plans on including even a little bit in any one of your posts?

Boys, boys boys...I've been in South Texas since 1981, and Mexicans were sneaking across the border then, as now. All they want is a place to work and do a lot of jobs you wouldn't. It's not GW's fault, it's nobody's fault.


Crap, swallowed my tobacco...Augggggh, the banjo fell off my back.

Well since you asked....

We started with the star chasing crusader, spbed fired up to disrupt the diner and forum at large. Next we had railroadman and now Jim here, come in blazing with both barrels over the some folk's (well okay ......my) actions regarding the crusader, apparently willing to martyr themselves for their cause.....so ....if a saint shows up, we get the hat trick.....

Look at you, a youngen giving me a civics lesson. That's so funny, I was assuming that you understood that a republican controlled house and senate under republican controlled direction would take some controlled direction from the administration, GW BUSH, Mr never worked a day in his life, born of the silver spoon.

Excuse me, in High School during the mid sixties, I actually had a civics class. Something, you as a young person never had!

Now, now...

You dont put the shotgun behind the seat, its too hard to reach there...ya let your lady friend hold it...thats why they call it riding shotgun!

The 30-30 goes in the gun rack, the .357 goes under the seat, and your buck knife goes on your belt...

And we dont drive no hunnerd miles an hour...them swamp runner tires get kinda wobbley around 90...

Any we chew 'bacca fer a reason, so we can spit on them pesky Californians...
although I am kinda partial to Wintergreen Skol...make better spit!

Now, about that BBQ pit...ya got any house in paticular?

We could put a dance floor where the driveway was, and a bandstand in the back yard...if ya can find a house in Texas with a basement, that is...

Might even find a catchy name for the place, ya know, like Gilley's....

Now, ya'll come soon, we leave the light on....

If my generation's education was deficient, it was only because of forty years of continual lowering standards by the liberal left that ruled Congress from 1955-1994.
