http://www22.verizon.com/areacodes/ Look 479 up. As I've mentioned, whoever is at that number in Arkansas is now under investigation for interstate wire fraud. You went too far, it's a Federal matter now. You know it's a felony, right? Your IP address has been logged. Slashdot will give us the logs, they will have to.
LOL. Where is the 479 area code? I'll give you a hint. It's not in New Mexico, and state agencies don't forward numbers out of state. Now who is proved to be lying?
You just wanted me to call a number you had forwarded to you, so you could call me and harass me. But you admitted what area code the forwarded number is in, how dumb is that? Fucking pathetic, sociopath.
LOL, really now. That's pathetic. 'You have reached a number that is disconnected or no longer in service.' Give it a try, go ahead. Anyone? Anyone? No, as I thought, only the pathological liar ifwm is still here. Just you and me, buddy.
Still, I'm impressed. You managed to unbore me for about 10 seconds.
Well, I hope the Democrats make the Republicans filibuster on the issues that matter, and I hope they go ahead with reconciliation, too. I'd rather not have a minority party blocking all progress in this country. So, hopefully we'll get a chance to see how carefully worded it is, hmmm?
But obviously, not carefully worded enough. Personally, the idea that a minority of senators can hold up every non-budgetary decision indefinitely is simply ludicrous.
What that means is, the minority wins. How is that fair? It does not sound like any version of democracy I've ever heard of. And don't try the 'protection of the minority from the tyranny of the majority' bullshit, either. We have that, it's called the constitution, and you need to jump through some serious hoops to change it. You shouldn't have to jump through the same hoops for normal legislative matters just because a minority can't stand to lose.
Well, I'm sorry then, but if Senators did not want people using reconciliation, they should have worded it differently, don't you agree? That's the pro-filibuster argument that you used. It's a procedure, and if Senators didn't want it that way, they should have worded it differently.
I just love the way Shakespeare could turn a phrase, don't you? Like 'hoist on his own petard.' That's just brilliant, don't you think?
I've tangled with him before, but I'd rather be momentarily irritated by someone than risk shutting them out completely. That's also why I browse at -1. You never know what kinds of jewels you might find in a festering pile of crap.
Reconciliation is a procedure. Like the filibuster, it isn't in the Constitution. People use both to the letter of the law, not the spirit. The spirit of the law is, simple majority to pass a law. That is what is in the Constitution. So, reconciliation is more in the spirit of the actual constitution, which is simple majority to pass a law. You may not like this, but as you mentioned, you have the option of running for the Senate and changing the procedures if you think they are worded too loosely. I just ask you to consider the actual constitution, and what is written therein: simple majority to pass a law.
Filibuster is a procedure. It is not enshrined in the Constitution. The founding fathers didn't even think of it. It's a way for the minority to dictate terms to the majority, which is even less fair than the tyranny of the majority. It's the tyranny of the minority.
So, it was okay when the Dems filibustered, and the Republicans shouldn't have used reconciliation? That has to be your position, or you are a hypocrite. Your position amounts to 'it takes sixty votes to pass anything in the Senate.' Which is not what the Constitution says, by the way.
Way to dodge the issue. Please show me in the Constitution where it says that EVERY issue needs sixty votes. Show me where it says the word 'filibuster' at all.Look at my other post. Republicans have used reconciliation to stop filibustering Dems before, and you know what? Turnabout is fair play.
You aren't even making any sense, as you haven't given anyone anything to disprove, and you certainly haven't disproved anything. But I'm sure all the voices in your head are telling you what a hero you are for vanquishing me.
Aw, is it's little feelings hurt? Baby gotta owwee? Fuck you, turd blossom. Of course they don't report directly to me. They go through three levels of help desk before they ever talk to me.
I'm not the one acting self important. I'm saying Lord Ender is, and that he should provide some fucking evidence that certs are useless if he's going to make that claim. They helped me get a foot in the door here.
But why the fuck do you care so much? Hate to see better men than yourself succede where you've failed? What is it, you fuckstained little cuntflap? Envy?
Who is getting what now? Handing you your ass on a platter is getting boring. Isn't it getting embarrassing for you? Why do you keep trying to attack me? It's not going to work, we've played this game dozens of times before, and you've lost every single time.
And, by the way, it isn't an ad hominem if it is a) true and b) relevant. You call me a dick, I point out evidence of you being a douche: and therefore, you are a hypocrite.
Let me explain it, for those who have gone 'full retard.' I said, "I've found CompTIA certs a useful part of my portfolio of credentials" meaning, I have found those credentials helpful in getting my foot in the door. Chirst on a fucking pogo stick, some people are dumb.

Just to be clear: whoever IS at that number in Arkansas is now under investigation for interstate wire fraud. It's out of my hands at this point.
You should follow your own advice: http://www22.verizon.com/areacodes/
Look it up, ya moron. 479, as you said. Arkansas.
You are in serious trouble. I'm just saying.
Got it. I'm sure everyone will give your opinion all the regard it deserves.
LOL. Where is the 479 area code? I'll give you a hint. It's not in New Mexico, and state agencies don't forward numbers out of state. Now who is proved to be lying?

Right, give it a try. Dial it up folks! Oh, that's right, no one is bothering to read this far down the thread except ifwm and his sock-puppets.
That number is disconnected, idiot. You could have at least picked my bosses number or something. Or shit, a working number at least.
LOL, really now. That's pathetic. 'You have reached a number that is disconnected or no longer in service.' Give it a try, go ahead. Anyone? Anyone? No, as I thought, only the pathological liar ifwm is still here. Just you and me, buddy.

Who are you and why are you talking all sane-like? We don't take kindly to your type 'round here, stranger...

Thanks for the laughs, buddy.
God damn, man, are you that desperate for attention? Let it go already, you're only hurting yourself at this point.
You bore me.
Yawn.
