Sugar or fruit with that? Tolerance is associated with grace, which is associated with patience, which is associated with humility. In all things, all things.

Beaker believes enough in what he does that it clouds his good judgement. I think all of us probably suffer that from time to time. I know I do. Still, on balance, if destruction is your gig, then destruction you will have; to be paid in full. I like Beaker and respect his technical proficiency and quirky sense of humor. I despise his need to go over the top in battling what he he deems objectional, often with malice. He knows how I feel and I know how he feels and we leave it at that. It's easy to love folly in a child...Still, I see no purpose in wearing underwater apparatus when waders are called for, and maybe not even that. This last case with you seems to have opinions of the military in question. I draw distinctions in this case, because I'm not only a vet, but I know many vets, and I identify with them in an intrinsic way. I abhor violent conflict also, and understand the folks who have visceral opinions as to such. Still, I feel that when you can give folks room to be thoughtful or stupid, they'll overlap into both camps, me included.

BDB got on my case for saying pretty much the same thing a few weeks ago in some other forum. I don't think Beaker has any real convictions, he just sees most of us as "liberal asshats" and wants to do what he can to make us unhappy. FAIL I miss Trustocity sometimes, I wonder what he'd think of Beaker :smirk:
