I’ll address this and ignore the rest of your post, which is filled with baseless tripe (you don’t know enough about me to make such claims - I’m under no obligation to “refute” something you pulled straight out of your ass).

Nobody on any other forum - save a forum of idiots - would laugh at “9. banana” if they knew the context in which it was written. You were informed of this context plenty of times, but you chose to ignore it. So here it is again, to set the record straight:

At the time I posted my diet, I was using Fitday.com to calculate my macro’s. Fitday operates on a decimal basis. You input number values in the format “x.y” where x and y can be any value from 1 to 9.

I calculated serving sizes for the foods that were in my diet, and a regular banana came out as the equivalent of “.9 bananas” in Fitday. So, I adopted that as my standard serving size for bananas.

It’s not as if I was weighing every banana I ate. It was something that was done ONCE, for the sake of verification (I needed to double check the FD database for accuracy before blindly relying on it to plan out my diet).

From then on, I simply continued using the “.9” value to designate a whole banana.

I did the exact same thing with every food that I ate - for instance, I calculated that a typical serving of pasta consisted of 1.5 cups, oats were 2 cups, and so on and so forth.

As I said, only an idiot could take something so mundane, so trivial, create an elaborate fantasy behind it and then carry that fantasy to the depths of stupidity.

You created your own reality, appended it to me, and ran with it. And you’re still pulling the same crap now, as clearly demonstrated by the rest of your post.

I have nothing to do with your fantasies. Leave me out of them.

NP,

(2) My mom was a Jew. Does this mean I can’t be in the ruling elite when you guys take over? I always wanted to run a country — how about Australia? Hot women and great beer!!

  1. Its an Imperial German Flag variant. I don’t remember the particulars surrounding this one. There are a bunch of them saved on my hard drive.

  2. Having a Jewish mother makes you a Jew, according to Jewish law. With your Ashkenazim heritage, perhaps you can request an administrative level position in the NWO hierarchy. You shouldn’t need me to tell you that members of your own tribe are disproportionately represented in the “ruling elite”.

By the way, “Australian women” are really Northern European women, belonging to the Kelto-nordid or Atlandid sub-races. Just thought you ought to know.

I haven’t got a problem with you.

Sheer nonsense. I was not even racially aware, as I am now, back in 2005. Race never came up as an issue. I was just a kid posting libertarian arguments on a neocon dominated message board. I made the mistake of revealing my age - which ensured that nothing I wrote would be taken seriously by 75% of the forum members at that time, regardless of how truthful it was.

You claimed that I was naive and would “grow out of it”. Instead of growing out of anything, your board is now populated by others - adults - who espouse the very same beliefs that I do. They are firmly entrenched, and your side has lost the numbers advantage that you once enjoyed. I rejoice in this.

How the mighty have fallen.

I might be hateful in my posting style - but at least I have the balls to stand toe to toe with those I am being hateful to. You are a coward who has yet to engage anyone.

I have been engaging people since the day I signed up; that’s what draws attention to my posts. I never equivocate and I never hesitate to share my views.

You never stood “toe to toe” with me. What “balls” it must have took for you to gang up on a then-17 year old along with a bunch of other degenerates - most of whom have since evaporated from the forum (Allah be praised).

I was telling you about Ron Paul two years before he ran for President. You laughed then, now you have it shoved into your face - and I’m not even the one doing it. In the end, I was proven to be the only true adult among a bunch of sore losers.

You are a racist of the highest order. If you want to hold that up as some sort of banner, and wear your banning as a trophy - go ahead.

LOL - “highest order” - is this the Teutonic Knights? I thank you for the [apparent] compliment, but I do not believe there are any “orders” in place here. I’m a racist, yes - pure and simple. Racist, as any intelligent, conservative (I repeat myself) man ought to be.[/quote]

You are no more a man than you were at 17.

Last I checked, Ron Paul was out of the race, and is in danger of losing his HOR seat in my great state.

DO you still live in mommy’s basement?

The only thing you got right in this post was admitting you are a racist.

At some point in time you will have to emerge from behind your keyboard to enter real life, and I am betting big money you will cower at the thought of standing on your own and spouting your internet crap.

Do you have to wear a white pillow case over your head before you can feel like a man?

Maybe you should tell us all what your definition of a man is. I know I could certainly use a good chuckle.

He is still in the race and has already won his congressional seat.

No one cares about a silly defense of your Fitday.com measurements - the “.9 of a banana” is just a symbol, shorthand if you will, for having a larger laugh at your expense.

And as to my “unfounded” comments - you posted in these very forums that you lamented your upbringing and wished you had lived the Aryan dream in the heartland. Not so much with the good memory.

You’re not just racist slime, you’re lower than that: you’re a wannabe racist slime. And it is always hilarious when we see someone so weak and unimpressive trying to suggest he is part of some supreme race. Your existence and shameful performance in the forum refutes the very claim of supremacy you say exists.

You’re not part of a master race - hell, you aren’t part of a master anything.

I’m sure he could get a mind blowing BJ from Al Shades if he should find himself on the East Coast.

But seriously, I don’t really care what now for Paul.

Actually the good Dr. won his seat by garnering 70.2% of the vote. He has retained his seat and was never in jeapardy of losing it. That was those idiot media types trying to make people think he was going to lose his seat. As you can see by the results and his wopping margin of victory they were lying again.

I did see he is also rated as the 25th best congressmen. Pretty decent job considering he is such a looney wacked out guy with no real foot to stand on because he is as insane as his followers.

Oh whoops and ten years running as the taxpayers best friend… Guess he never should have tried to be president. He would not have stolen money and pissed it away on garbage. We could not stand a man who was not trying to redistribute other peoples money while making the deficit even larger. Heaven forbid we actually engage other countries with our pocketbooks instead of a 226 round. Damn him.

I guess the good Dr. should have made promises to every person in America that he would ensure all their needs were taken care of. He should have told everyone they are entitled to everything. Perhaps then he would have been nominated…Maybe he could have threatened Iran as well. That would have certainly made him a lock.

The election is not until November. I’m pretty sure he merely won the primary. Unless he is running unopposed - he has won nothing yet.

Try and pay attention.

And maybe try and cite sources a little less biased.

He defeated his Republican opponent, there is no Democrat running against him.

That’s good news, I had not been following his Congressional run. Apparently his district is larger now, too.

Then he has won the republican primary, and stands a very good chance of winning the seat - but not until November.

There could be a write-in, or 3rd party. I don’t know. Just because he is not running against a dem does not mean he is running unopposed.

My main point was to show that if the kid I was replying to is a typical pauliac - they don’t even know when the elections are, or what they mean.

Maybe I need to dumb down my posting.

Well back to Ron Paul and away from vindictiveness. Unfortunately I am in North Carolina and we have yet to have our primary. Stupid state. I am voting for Paul still because his platform resonates with the true American ideals of Horatio Alger I had drilled into my nugget from a small age.

While some disagree with the Horatio Alger myth/story I agree to a large part that with enough gumption and try, most anyone can be successful in this country. It does not matter which side of the tracks you grew up on or what state or what color you are. You can make it and there are plenty of stories out there to prove it.

Unfortunately, the other candidates all want to replace hard work and motivation with government handouts and programs. Most people are not looking to get rich they are just looking to get by and enjoy life. It is too bad the result of large government effectivelly neuters the populace and replaces that formerly present set of balls with a check/card/subsidy.

To top if all off if you do not drink the large cup of Kool Aid big Govt provides for you they have a nice new shiny jail they can keep you in.

The good doctor looks like an old frail man. This did not look good on television. He was rarely asked questions and when he was the cameras panned to the other candidates and showed them smirking or giggling. Putnere every time he was mentioned it was prefaced with the words impossible, improbable, kooky, goofy, isolationist, Fed banning, Gold loving, and on and on. I do not recall a time at all he was treated fairly as a candidate.

I like his positions for the most part. He was unable to sell them in the 30 seconds to a minute he had when he was put on the spot. I could care less what his supportters look like or how they act. That is a trail I could delve into about all of the candidates and no one would like it because they all have people we would not identify with.

His positions are good. He just did not have the George Clooney looks nor the smooth speech to sell them. [/quote]

Wait, you’re an active duty SF soldier and you support Ron Paul? Don’t you realize he hates America and says we’re to blame for 9/11? I’m confused.

I got out a year and half ago. But I was, and yes I do support him. I think most people would be surprised by the number of military types who have no desire to head to Iraq.

No reason to get into all the reasons or to beat up on the President and his foreign policy, but I feel pretty safe in saying most guys do not want to head over there.
