But you *are* into mocking, ridiculing, taunting, and insulting. That's your bag, eh?

You are a waste of ****ing time, Krause. You should filter me soon. You're not man enough to answer
the questions posed you about the lies you tell.


But, Johnny, if I filter you, how will I keep current with the leader of
the Republican Racists in rec.boats?

I saw that. A Republican retains a seat held by Republicans for 50
years. I'm not surprised. Jolly is just another conservative lobbying
whore, and is no better a public servant than the governor there, a
fellow who, among other things, pushed for mandatory drug testing of
welfare recipients and, just coincidentally, happens to own a drug
testing company. Whoosh.

It's said that about half the voters +65 of age in this district.
Jolly was heavy on Medicare Advantage scare ads.
Those old folks will die off in time.
Obamcare won't, so the Republicans should be talking about "fixing"
it, instead of dismantling it.
They won't, of course.
Sink was a flawed candidate anyway.
Former CEO of Florida BOA, and too "rich."
She couldn't beat the crook they have as governor.
Beating a lesser crook was a high hurdle.

Ahh, I wasn't following that Florida race. I had no idea Ms. Sink was
just another bankster.

Speaking of big-time crooks, I haven't been following the Florida
governor Scott's re-election race, either.

I wouldn't if I were you.
Once Scott starts comparing records in the inevitable deluge of ads
that are coming, people will remember why they were not thrilled with
Crist.

Perhaps you weren't "thrilled" with Crist.
But he had a 63% approval rating vs Scott's 45%.
Of course he's a Democrat now, so that'll make a difference.

It is going to be a long summer.



I do hope Scott's "past" becomes a serious issue this time and, of
course, his pushing as governor for drug testing of assistance
recipients while he owns a drug testing lab.

That is just sad.



Your life is work?









You don't seem to get it. I like what I do. In many cases, my work helps

people who really need help, in this country and abroad, in sustainable

development, delivering reliable potable water, worker training, worker

rights, et cetera, in underdeveloped nations.



I also get to meet and work with interesting people in a number of

fields of endeavor, including business, labor, the fine arts, music,

theater, and movies. I get to wear a suit and tie if I want. I get to

travel to interesting places on someone else's dime. I get paid nicely

for this, and get to produce interesting deliverables.



To me, that's a lot more interesting and a lot more fun than flying

model airplanes, playing golf, RV'ing, et cetera.



To each his own.





To each his own is right.



Many people who work or volunteer their time and efforts to support

humanitarian causes are respected and even admired. However when you

constantly ridicule, mock and taunt people because they have interests

that you don't share or because they desire to enjoy their hard won

retirement years pursuing endeavors that don't interest you, any respect

you may think you have earned goes out the window.











This is rec.boats. I'm just trying to fit in as much as my digestive

track allows with the right-wing slime whose almost entire reason for

existence here is to ridicule, mock, and taunt. Fortunately, my

digestive track doesn't allow much of that, so I simply send most of

those righties straight to the filter and septic tank system without

reading their excrement.

**** OFF ASSHOLE. GO GET DONNIE TO SMOKE YOUR POLE SOME MORE.

repaid my debts. I have no regrets about my life or retirement.

Absolutely Wayne. You should enjoy the fruits of your labor. I'm looking forward to hear about your next launch...

No, Timmy, you are wrong. I have no interest in converting anyone here
to or from religious beliefs or in changing political parties or affinities.

In fact, the words and actions of *most* of those here who claim to be
religious belie their true beliefs. Anyone can twist or interpret the
new testament anyway he or she likes, but to state directly or
indirectly you favor taking food, medicine, shelter, clothing or decent
free public schooling away from kids in impoverished households sends a
clear signal: if you believe in doing that, you are NOT a follower of
Jesus.

Don't worry about it. Compassion, charity and good deeds work in
mysterious ways that you obviously can't understand.
