Oh, I almost forgot, tolerance is a 2 way street. I now lots of people who preach tolerance, but always assume theirs is the right oppinion, so I must be wrong. I am an oppinionated person, so is everyone! Am I not tolerant if I disagree with some one elses opinion? Definitely not. I have a right to disagree. That's what America was founded on. Some people who wanted to freely practice their own beliefs without being told or forced what to believe by others.

I will not tolerate people attacking my belief in Christ, so the whiny people who can't stand it when I talk about religion, or my "family" views are also being intolerant. Right? It takes to to tango, so, as my Grand Ma used to say "there can't be a fight if the other person isn't fighting back" You can't argue if the other person can't even hear you. I always tell my kids to ignore bullies when they can.

Bullies usally give up when they can't get a reaction out of you. Worked for me 90% of the time when I was a kid. I only had to strike back once when I was 14 (he was a small punk who would ambush me, or sneek up on me and punch me in the face. I did not enjoy setting him straight, neither did he. He left me alone after that. I finally I picked him up and threw him over a fence.

"I've had all I can stands, and I can stands no more"! Pop-eye, also not homosexual.

"By the way, I am a "Conservative Christian" too"

You are a brave soul to announce that here at t2j. Welcome to the board and be prepared to take some abuse. It isn't too bad, usually some youngster with no experience in having to take care of him / her self and thinking they know it all. I have conversed with some very intelligent thinkers here, Zenfish... Civgeek.... Mikesb.... and of course our supreme court nominee Cuthbert1776. (sorry if I missed anybody)

"They would call me a "right-winged conservative" without even getting to know me."

Me too, there have been more assumptions here about my character then where Rumsfeld thought the Weapons of Mass Destruction were in Iraq....;-)

"Don't assume I'd accept.... ;-)"

Not only do I think you would accept it, I think you would have a good chance at teaching the other members the true meaning of the Constitution. Give me a break; you'd jump at the chance to go mono e mono with some of them behind closed door deliberations. I don't know much about you cuth, but I do know you like a good conversation about the constitution.

cuthbert1776

You do not need a JD to be a Supreme Court Justice. There are no qualifications to be a Justice.

You simply need to be nominated by the President and approved by the Senate - and you are in.

"IN THIS COUNTRY YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT NOT TO BE OFFENDED!!
As part of living in the Melting Pot, you will come in contact with things you don't agree with."

Absolutely, so why get upset with it? I wonder if Sponge Bob uses mesh undies and handcuffs? Yuk Yuk........

Cuthbert1776

Notice the report came from the New York Times.

"Sponge Bob needed no introduction. In addition to his popularity among children, who watch his cartoon show, he has become a well-known camp figure among adult gay men, perhaps because he holds hands with his animated sidekick Patrick and likes to watch the imaginary television show "The Adventures of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.""

I just got this visual of Sponge Bob, Patrick and Richard Simmons and various bare chested young men on a retreat. Lounging around a campfire enjoying a nice Weenie Roast, singing "Jimmy pack corn and I DON'T CARE........Jimmy pack corn and I DON'T CARE........Jimmy pack corn and I DON'T CARE........Jimmy pack corn and I DON'T CARE........" ROTFLMFAO

Maybe if you start some arm exercises and get your arms very strong and get the right suit to wear, you may make it to Mars.

Just when I thought that this whole Sponge Bob thing couldn't possibly get any funnier, I just spit my lunch up looking at the credits "Starring" at the top of this link.

Do ya think Roger is getting some e-mails over this from his friends?

Excuse me I need to go clean the Clam Chowder off of my shirt and keyboard. Holly shit I haven't laughed this hard in a loooooooooooong time!

Hey Guys,

I was thinking of Bying a JS2000 but there is no whammy bar(or at least I dont see one on the Ibanez site) So I was looking at the 1200 and 1000 but I cant choose.

Your thoughts

You rock Joe!

Slansh - I spoke to Tura.. she sorted me out... so your CD is in the post as of this evening...

and that's a green light.. lol...

next stop will be Gibson, Honner and Washburn I guess..

ok... set fire to my car.. that'll be a good start.. lmao

---> Family groups suck dick

Spongebob is the coolest thing ever. I seen his movie and it way more funnier than Passion of the Christ, in fact that wasn't even funny at all. Heaps of gay men like ice cream too, why don't they ban that too? Fucking idiots. I hate family groups. <---

I can only agree with him... he is totally right

Namm, that is just too funny for words!!! Now i gotta check up on a site outlining the origin of surnames!!!

TASTEY,

Just in case somebody missed this who's interested.

New Chromeboy Then scroll to the bottom of the pagedown past Vai's chromed Jem to Joe's beauty...thar she blows!

Here's the news (right off Ibanezrules.com) about the new Chromed - JS2PRM - New for this year is the ultra limited 2PRM [I could not find out exactly what PRM stands for, but like the new JEM7B, probably something to do with Rock Mirror]. This is esentually the guitar Joe has been playing on tour for 2 years now, leaving his original JS2's at home in an effort to keep them in his possession. The basswood body is covered in aluminum which should prove to be a much more durable finish than all previous "chromeboy" attempts. This is not a catalog model so I'm going to assume it has Joe's current flavor of pickups, the FRED bridge and the PAF JOE neck, but Dimarzio has chromed the tops as they did the JEM10 and JS90's, although this is supposed to be a new process that is much more durable than the process used on those pickups. Only play time will tell. Added to this model [and I was told requested by Joe] is the phase switch to change the humbuckers to out of phase giving an even added tonal option to the already versatile JS. Abalone dots inlayed into slightly larger mirror dots and a headstock overlay like the one used on the Crystal Planet's but in chrome. Rumored to possibly come with a chromed case although that's many months from confirmation. Limited to 60 pieces worldwide with 38 coming to the US. $5329.99 List price, includes case.

Nice touch on the phase switch Joe, and thanks for making these available to us...wonder what retail will be....$3570.00?

Zenfish,

==============================================

"Family groups suck dick"

No pun intended?

That must mean their gay. Let's call Jerry Falwell and have the Family Groups ban the Family Groups. We just can't let all this inappropriate behavior continue.

Bwahahahahaha!

Zen, try one of these if you have a chance. I have had one for almost ten years now never get tired of the way it plays and sounds. I tried the Fender and much prefer my Godin, which is Black with a maple neck and fingerboard... Cheaper too I think.
