This is a prime example of the juvenile intellectual games that they play at the swamp:
The game they play is that you are either required to endorse or denounce this sentiment or that personality, which is of course complete rubbish. It is my option to completely ignore and not comment on what Andrew Napalitano says. And as for 1389′s thread on the Civil war, I simply had no opinion on it, which is why I did not comment. This ‘endorse’ or ‘denounce’ nonsense is juvenile rubbish. It’s perfectly acceptable to have no opinion at all on occasion.

Does anybody know why Tilda Swinton is a movie star? I even like some art house films, but “Orlando”? I predict popular gender bending will decline with the economy. Call it a hunch.

Hey, Where’s F these days? Missing the Darwin Award wannabe posts. Happy Turkey Day to you, good sir.
I’m going to my brother-in-laws parents tomorrow. He converted to Roman Catholicism, they are Jewish. My sister said don’t bring anything unless it’s kosher. We’ve gotten together before, my bro-in-law reminds me on occasion that they are liberal, so I don’t get into politics with them much.
I do have a shofar that she expressed an interest in that I’ll probably give her. My sister hears all these words that have to be explained.

Not that I’m aware of. The Quebeckers have an unspoken caste system. The ‘real’ French are known as “pure laine” or pure wool, Means they are boasting about their Frence heritage. Quebec is a uni-lingual Provice in a country they forced to be bi-lingual. You definitely don’t want them covering your back. There may be some Latin there, but I’ve never heard about it. Their French sounds pretty bad too. It’s sort of like taking the Bronx version of English as a mark of pride. The upper class is less provincial…unless they are politicians.

I knew a guy who went up there and the guy he needed help from pretended not to know English so he said all kinds of things about his wife. Do you think they should secede?
@ mjazz:
1389 is a Serb. As a Latin I respect my Orthodox brothers who lived under islamic oppression. My biggest regret was that the Imperial Spanish Army after Lepanto couldn’t;t free them from Islamic Rule. The Dutch, English and French started a war with the Empire. Rather than let us free our Orthodox brothers.
