I generally don't join clubs just to have a cheeseburger, James. I find that I can eat them quite adequately without making it an official duty. Also, I don't happen to own a pair of assless chaps.
Eating contests are nothing to laugh at Rev. It takes months of practice to enter one. You need to train yourself psychologically to be able to wolf down pounds and pounds of food in little time. Not to mention stretching your stomach the night before the contest. Just ask Takeru Kobayashi of Japan who's a legend now, he's won the Nathan's annual Hot Dog eating contest 5 straight times. He's eaten over 50 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes. His weight is below 150lbs.
eating contests are DISGUSTING. END of story. Supposedly mature (???) people sitting there stuffing their faces for a prize??? :roll: sheesh.......get a life.
Reverend Blair said:Well, I won't be joining your silly contest. Besides, I have no assless chaps.
Reverend Blair said:Just to meander back in the general direction of the subject for a post or two, since I have no interest in the gluttony championships, what the hell is up with the way your government seeks to limit free speech, Nascar Nero?
after all I live in a free country.

The pavement outside the White House is a restricted area, where people by law must keep moving. Miss Sheehan and the other protestors were protesting there. She broke the law and was justifiably arrested.
Answer - the pavement outside the White House is the best place for a voice to be heard in America. It is the traditional site of criticism of a government and is now even more important with a whipped and silent media. This dispite Bush's ire at being criticized. If you really believed in free speech you would not be so complacent in having it muzzled by a hokipoki 'law'. But now the Constitution can be overturned by some 'security concern'. Stand up for freedom or lose it.

Tough break for miss Sheehan. She knew it was against the law before she engaged in her activity and yet she defied authority and broke the law. She got what she deserved.

Get real, Nascar Nero. We know about your "free speech zones" and your government's policy of tracking who takes what books out of which library. Caging up people who dissent and keeping track of reading materials are not the actions of a free country. They are, in fact, the acts of a fascist state.
I do like playing dress up.
Reverend Blair said:What strategy? If you give up all of your rights and freedoms, what the feck is the security protecting?
You've been duped, Nero. Your government is scaring the crap out of you so they can steal away your rights and you are helping them with it. You live in constant fear of being attacked, but refuse to even think about why people might want to attack you. In the meantime you have a bunch of far-right fanatics in charge who are disintegrating the very idea of the separation of church and state.
You've already lost the war, Nero. There is so little difference between Osama bin Laden and George Bush that they could be brothers. Hell, given all the ties between the Bushes and the bin Ladens, they probably are brothers.
