I just threw those babes into the bar story to give it a little
bounce, and to illustrate how some genes spread and some don’t. I agree with
you that guys who are of a mind to will get into fights over anything, or more
particularly nothing. Even a weenie like myself, who doesn’t drive will
sometimes get into some altercation over foot traffic, though generally if it
gets beyond the dirty look stage I will be backing down.
I’ve been in a lot of bars, but none of them are the kinds that had
fights on any regular basis. I have heard that there are guys who get drunk and
what they really want to do, more even than get lucky or get drunker, is get
into a fight. One time at the bar I was working in in Champaign this guy came
in and just went down the bar insulting everybody one by one. Finally he came
to one of us who was more exasperated than anything else and punched him out and
then everybody else jumped in to get their cheap shots and then they dragged him
out of the bar making sure that the door slammed on his head.
Not that I condone that sort of thing, but I have to say it felt
pretty good, just to have been part of the crowd, though I never came out from
behind the bar, and of course we outnumbered him thirty to one. And I have to
think he got what he wanted too. I think those guys who want to get into fights
don’t care if they win or lose. But that’s just what I’ve heard. I can’t say
that I know anybody like that.
I’m remembering now that when I was a kid I got into fights from
time to time. It was almost a ritual thing, it’s not like we had read anything
about it. But in the course of playing kids’ games there would be some kind of
dispute between you and another kid, and the other kids would pick up on that
and form a circle around you. There was really no way to back out, but as
little kids it’s not like anybody did much damage to anybody else, and a bloody
nose was reason aplenty to end the fight.
Do you remember our Gage Park athlete P? I went to grade
school with him, and I think it was around seventh or eighth grade that it
became apparent that we needed a pecking order and somebody had to be at the top
of it and P decided it would be him. He had bested all the competitors and
one day in the schoolyard it became apparent that I was next. Not that I was a
realistic competitor, but I think that P wanted to dot all his I’s and cross
all his t’s. It was pretty quick, he pinned me and I made some kind of joke,
already I had learned that a good joke could get me out of a tight spot (of
course it could also put me in a tight spot, but I don’t think I had learned
that yet, actually I don’t think I ever learned that), and it was over, and it
was like, nothing personal.
I think Putin would indeed like to get the old empire back
together, but it’s very tough conquering and occupying even some pissant
country. It really is cheaper to just have them quaking in their boots lest
they piss you off, but letting them take care of their day to day crap
themselves. Let them patrol their own streets and if any cobblestones are
thrown, let them throw them at their own people.
Hum, are you saying that since we haven’t sent anybody overseas to
defend white people that maybe it is time we did that?
I think it is just you who thinks that white Muslims (Kurds,
Bosnians, Iranis, etc) aren’t white.
The word semite is another of those indeterminate words. We speak
of anti semite but we never use that phrase to describe people who hate arabs,
in fact I have heard arabs described as being anti Semitic. I think it is a
word dredged up around the turn of the century when we wanted to separate
ourselves from Jews and didn’t want to give the Egyptians any credit for
anything.
The European Jews didn’t originate there, they were originally from
Israel but left when Rome squashed them.
As for whose side are you on, I think I would feel more on the side
of a liberal democrat black guy then some tea party guy.
I think you and me get along fine with the rest of the world
against our message of reasonable discussion and peace and liberty, but when the
rest of the world comes to their senses and accepts us as their rightful rulers
and we reign from twin thrones, I’m going to be aggravated if your throne is
higher than mine.
