    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Well, my recollection is you being active pre-migration, but I could be wrong. All I've seen from you, though, is "Democrats are bad (but I'm not a Republican, so I'm neutral)" posts. Maybe you'd be going after the Republicans just as much if they had the Presidency, but that hasn't been my impression. I just don't like generalizations, where you impute monolithic positions to entire groups of people, as though they all said or thought that. I do tend to respond to those with sarcasm and I (still) feel it's justified. Is sarcasm real substance? No. But I don't feel like "All you Democrats cried about Bush and now you love Obama, you guys are stupid and naive" is substance either.

    The best part of this is, people are getting worked up over symbolic nonsense.

    Does anyone honestly believe AQ, or islamic extremism in general, are going away because OBL is dead? The real world impact of all this is going to be zero.

    You can never recover from that.

    That may not be true. It all depends on the possible backlash of his death.

    There were only 4 bad guys, so the Roy-v-5 would've confused him.

    "I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" -- Martin Luther King, Jr

    lol oh not me. I have Twitter but just to follow people for Sports news, but dont actually tweet lol. On a semi related note.. were you at the Timbers game towards the top of 104 on Saturday? I have a vague recollection of what you look like from the opener. But I got in late and was passing roses around so I didnt have time to come up and say hi.
