So we should be welcoming them with open arms......
But no - instead so many idiots in this country of ours blatantly HATE them on arrival.

Re: Demand What Of Their Congressman?
Why doesn't Onifre have a rating yet? In my book he is a 10.0.

It sure must be nice being a white male in America.
The gig ain't what it used to be.
Like in many other areas--Social Security, Medicare, pensions and likely immunity against charges for raping or killing minorities--the "Greatest Generation" made out like bandits, and the rest of us honkies are left with Fox News, NASCAR and DIY porn.
Even the chances of becoming a DWM (Dead White Male) literary lion look bad these days.
But the GOP still loves us almost as much as money.

Not enough Onifre posts have been cheered/jeered in the past 6 months - or some such technicality.

Thanks, Panda.

Part of me says "I WANT TO KNOW HOW THE RATINGS ARE MADE" - just for the concept of transparency.
And part of me just wants to know the mathematics.
And part of of me doesn't want this ever to come to light because of the misuse that would ensue.

Only kiddin. It's good to have the comedy-meister back (where he been?) and I for one would vote for his 10 rating but for the fact I am deeply competetive and that would put yet another long timer ahead of me in the ratings war.
Get cheers or die tryin!!!
AbE - It appears my latest cheer has provided the straw to break the no ratings camels back. Oni has a 10 rating. MFer!!! Grrrr

On the off chance you might gain some ground with sympathy votes, I've cheered all Onifre's posts for the past three months.
P.S. I'm only one sheet to the wind, myself, but I'm jibing vigorously .

Well crank up your sheets and put wind in the sails of the Straggle-meister.
Enough of this objectivity nonsense.

Alas, no. I am a middle child, and my father's imprint is strong: many insistences to the contrary, I am as legitimate as an illicit-minded man can be.
I have lifted your rating from 7.7 to 8.2. It would have been easier if you didn't have so bloody many posts--or perhaps so many bloody-minded posts.
I only needed to respond to one in which I found you slighting my favorite tryptamine. Tut.
Still, it was fun, it suited me in its subversive abuse of a social ranking system, and I feel vaguely slutty.
All in all, a good night.

The protests are now moving to Slovenija, they start today in a few hrs.
I wonder how well they will go usualy when we have protests or strikes we wreck a place or make the guilty party shit their pants.
exsamples:
A few years ago we wrecked the Parliament all windows got broken, a few months ago a company owner couldn't leave his office for 2 days for fear the people on strike will tare him apart.

All this 10 rating talk and all the love has given me a boner.
I, of course, agree with the 10 rating, and also agree with your 8.2.
It's good to have the comedy-meister back (where he been?) and I for one would vote for his 10 rating but for the fact I am deeply competetive and that would put yet another long timer ahead of me in the ratings war.
Been working, got a day job and living in NYC now. Writing for a network (basic cable) punching up scripts for new developments. It's awesome but the hours with that and comedy at night leave me little time for the forum. I lurk sometimes late night when I'm baked to catch up with the old beefs.
When I get a few weeks off I come back, which as you can see is only every few months.
PS - I am a bit drunk at the mo.
That's the one thing that doesn't change in this forum.
PS. I'm baked

It seems like white women are the ones getting the good treatment these days.
But the GOP still loves us almost as much as money.
They're starting to really take a liking to delusional minorities willing to show face for their party though.
The one advantage white people will always have is the use of time machines:

We shouldn't welcome illegal anybodies. My son and his wife have two adopted Hispanic brothers. They also have two of their own children. They adopted one Hispanic and when a brother was born they took him also. The parents and adopted sons are all legal Hispanics.
