"When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear."
-Mark Twain, 'Pudd'n'head Wilson' (1894)

"You know everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects."
-Will Rogers, The New York Times 8/31/1924

"Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it."
-George Orwell

"The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt."
-Bertrand Russell

"The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don't acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead."
-Kurt Vonnegut, 'Wampeters, Foma, and Granfalloons' (1974)
Age: 17
Not much to say. One of the YT pioneers, I arrived in the summer of '06; when fewer extremists and spammers roamed the boards. I like to read and one of my favorite authors is Kurt Vonnegut, he died April '07. So it goes. I have read some works by others as well.

I also like Movies, mostly older ones but I do like some recent films. Favorite actors/actresses include Jimmy Stewart, Spencer Tracy, and Katharine Hepburn. I like almost all varieties of music, particularly Classical by Chopin or Liszt. I don't play, however.

I'm occasionally interested in politics and some of my favorite Presidents include: Jefferson, Lincoln, Theo. Roosevelt, FDR, Truman and Eisenhower. Other people I like are Thomas Paine, Benj. Franklin, Gandhi, Will Rogers, Mark Twain, and William F. Buckley, Jr. I cannot stand racism or ignorance, but I don't like Political Correctness either.

I've been on YT long enough to be described as anything from intelligent and bright to fucking stupid. So if you're looking for someone to bait, you might want to go somewhere else. I don't tolerate people who feel the only way they can express their opinion is through pointless insults.

The CGI, at times, was pretty bad and distracting. There was TOO much unbelieveable stuff, and those kind of scenes weren't even cool, they were just kind of stupid. Shia Laboeuf(sp) was actually pretty good, in my opinion. But the Russians as Villains were kind of lame. And overall, there were too many scenes that were used just as gags, and it made the film drag on. I remember that I actually got sleepy watching it near the end . . .

NICE!

And you are right, a lot of people hate/dislike the new Indy(I just dislike it) and others think it's good.
larma7 | July 17, 2008
Yes, I was thinking the same.
larma7 | July 17, 2008
Are you having trouble getting messages sent to you appearing in your "in-box"? Lately I have had messages sent to me, that just don't show up right away, yet it says that I have recieved one.

Hi EER,

I think that is an excellent point about 911. We should all cherish who we have and never take them for granted:) Happy Spring Break!!

This is not political, lol I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed talking to you, I feel that you are a honest well intended individual. You have caused me to think about subjects and to test out my paradigm of thinking. I hope that I have not offended you that was never my intention, and if I have I sincerily appologize. Thank you it was a lot of fun. Take an easy.
