Did anyone miss that?

Yep…stare at your image in the mirror in the dark_ you will be surprised at what the image will tell_

And

I find it easy to tell who has real friends and who only thinks he has, just by reading their posts.

The quote for churchill is appropriote for the context of this thread.

But.......



Churchill isn't exactly one to be preaching morality.

Yes, he helped kick hitlers ass.

He was of coarse, one of the greatest war time leaders in the world.


But he called Ghandi an insignificant fakir in a diaper who can do nothing(or something along those lines)

and helped tighten british control in africa during a small uprising thingy(i need to look back at my history book, i learned this in grade 8, so that was nearly seven years ago)

All in all, while he wasn't exactly an evil man, he isn't this super-saint like guy he's often protrayed as.


Im sure ill get torn apart in the rubuttal, i dont have any direct references to pull out at the moment, just my memory and my word.


No im not saying he was an evil guy. Just not someone to be quoting on terms of morality.

Okay ill admit he has a great way of putting things in a blunt, clear manner that was damn cool.

From the Book "Friends of Eddie Coyle":

"George V. Higgins's first novel is like a blast of Atlantic air; the Boston prosecutor virtually reinvents the language of the crime novel with his unique ability to breathe life into the dialogue of the smalltime hoodlum and hustler. Trying to pull off one final score, career crook Eddie Coyle finds himself squeezed out of shape by the people above and below him."

Eddie Coyle: "Life is hard; it is even harder when you are stupid."

This metaphor has been wisely and often raised by Sensei Van.

Om my way out tonight for some easy time, John

But did not want this to fade_ You are so right_ think about the times we have observed such stupidity on and off the forums. Summer camp included
