Men. As disposable as guinea pigs. And almost as cheap. Cheaper, sometimes.

Then I should dump him, eh?

TheMercenary is upsetting me today.

I have come to expect more from him. Now, I'm disappointed to have to adjust downward my standards for his posts.

TheMercenary, are you simple?

I don't mean that as a compliment, like uncomplicated. Are you dumb? Why do you accept as truth the crap you're reading? And if you don't accept it, why in the world are you repeating it?

I think you're pissed or scared or some other dang thing and you're seriously off your normal game. I've been off my game before, for extended periods of time. I wouldn't wish it on a snake. I don't know what's going on and that's probably because it's none of my flippin business. I'm fine with that. I'm just looking forward to remission or at least a respite from whatever's chappin your ass. Cause you have done much better in the past, a very worthy opponent. I miss that mercy.

The phone calls and messages that are from "recorded people" trying to sway me to vote for their candidate. I am not home during the day and I have had at least 3 calls a day for the last two weeks. Grrr

Hit and run on our vehicle.

BigV · 10-14-2008, 04:30 PM

Sh*t.

classicman · 10-14-2008, 04:35 PM

Oh that Sux Case - sorry to hear that.

kerosene · 10-14-2008, 04:40 PM

Well, it isn't un-driveable, but it is a pain in the ass...maybe this more belongs in the irritating thread or one of its derivatives.

Election day is soon. win or lose the stress gets dialed down.

BigV · 10-14-2008, 06:45 PM

Ok. Recalibrated.

Thanks.

I remember the cellar getting like this four years ago as well. The cellar is home to a disproportionately high number of liberal/left leaning individuals. the conservative/right leaning types tend to get puckered up a bit more as they feel outnumbered and isolated in their views. It will build to a crescendo over the next two weeks and then two days after the election is settled people will start to relax a little.

This year seems to be more relaxed though. I think it is partly due to the fact that most D's and liberals feel pretty confident in Obama's ability to run away with the election whereas no one had any faith in Kerry to pull it out.

Sundae · 10-14-2008, 07:35 PM

Perhaps that's why I feel at home here.
Liberal and left leaning in American terms = centre right in UK terms
Not my politics, but people I can broadly agree with

But the bottom line - and I feel I have to keep stressing this as an outsider - is the intelligence of the posters, their ability to argue, their reason in the face of opposing views IS the Cellar.

Over and over and over again.
The Cellar is a collection of people (hosted and supported by Tony) who have disparate views, politics, religious beliefs, nationalities, experiences and backgrounds, who come together and make the best website ever. End of.

If Republican US President Dwight D. Eisenhower were here to run today, he'd probably be considered a pinko commie.
