The Great Uniter

[Tyrone Bigguns]

In these politically divisive time, i just wanna extend a hearty thank you to Tex for uniting all the packer rats.

Tex, you have successfully brought us all together...liberal, conservative, man, women, gay, straight, soldier, terrorist...in our mutual distaste for you.

WE may not agree on what we like, but we certainly all agree on what we don't..you.

[Deputy Nutz]

I brought this up before, but you can't deny the passion of Tex. Man is passionate, I will give him that.

[FavreChild]

Too bad passionate isn't the same as compassionate.

LOLOL. oh alright....me, too :doh:

Even troubled Rodney King pleaded, "Can't we all just get along?"

[Tarlam!]

I like Tex. Ziggy, put that in the minutes, please.

[MJZiggy]

You sure? How 'bout I put it in pencil? That way you can change your mind later.

[Tarlam!]

I like Tex, ink it in.

[texaspackerbacker]

Thank you, Tarlam. I'm not particularly bothered by the near unanimity of the criticism, though.

I just hope we don't see our glorious American way of life--including the right to not appreciate it--go down the drain due to the subtle effectiveness of Russert and his sick kind in getting the horrendously wrong and irresponsible people in power as they have pushed so hard to do.

My passion is simply FOR America and AGAINST those who want to tear it down.--especially those who have been majorly effective at trying to destroy our way of life.

So you're not negatively affecting this country/planet or anyone that lives in it IN ANY WAY?

Do you get outstanding gas mileage because you drive an efficient car and/or you drive efficiently? Or are you helping to raise gas prices for ALL OF US because your vehicle is a guzzler and/or you drive it too fast?

Do you take perfect care of yourself (nutrition, exercise) so that you never have to go to the doctor and are doing your part to help keep healthcare costs low? Or are you one of many millions that could be doing a little more to keep yourself in better health so we could all pay less?

Is your home as energy efficient as it could possibly be? Or could you personally be doing more in your own home to conserve energy?

Do you recycyle everything you possibly can?

Do you donate all of your unwanted goods to charities that would receive them?

Do you donate or volunteer any of your time to any charity of any kind, and how much money to you give to charity annualy?

Is everything you buy made in this country?

Do you donate blood and/or plasma regularily?

Ever receive a ticket or citation of any kind?

Do you have any debt?

Do you have a bias against anyone of a different race or religion than yours?

Are you up to date on your CPR and first aid training, could you safe a life if you had to?

Is your vehicle insured?

Do you keep the exterior of your home, both house and lot, in good condition so as not to lower the property value for those around you?

Have you ever in your life caused bodily harm to another person, be it accidental or otherwise?

Have you ever littered in our life, or has every scrap found the garbage can?

Ever been late to ANY appointments?

Ever been late to work?

If you have children/grandchildren..are they all perfect as well, or did you possibly reproduce more lives that (like most Americans) are NOT perfect and do little things every single day that have a sublte, but very real neagtive effect on this country, when you factor in 70+ years of in it most lifetimes?

(Anyone else want to chime in with any more, please do.)

Go ahead and list all of the things you have done to better America (that nobody else has done), it must be pretty long if the attitude you display in your posts is any kind of an indicator.

If you are like most Americans, you are probably pretty far from perfect and you may do all kinds of things that have a negative impact on our soceity (no matter how small you may think it is--the shit adds up when multiplied by the 250+ million that live here), but your post makes it sound like we don't have to worry about you becuase you NEVER do anything that could be hurting America. Like most, I know I could do more, but I'm not the one popping off about how others are fucking things up as if I am doing everything right.

How about you quit busting a dead man's balls and focus on how YOU may be affecting this country with the way you choose to live, and the things you may or may not do that could be having a not-so-perfect effect on it.

[texaspackerbacker]

You're asking me about ME? That's just laughable.

Ya see, it's like this. While we ALL have freedom of speech in this country, very very few are in a position to be heard or to influence large numbers of people. Before there were forums like this, ordinary people like you and me couldn't spread our views much beyond the very few people we actually talk to in person.

My rant against Russert had to do with his sinister influence--corrupting and poisoning the electorate--getting good normal people with good normal views to consider the possibility of and even vote for politicians who literally would change--that horrible buzz word of the left--this country from the magnificent place it is to a country like Jimmy Carter spoke of--that has to settle for being a second rate power, a country like Barak Obama spoke of where we just can't eat what we want or drive what we want because it might upset the rest of the world, or a country like John Kerry spoke of that falsely labels the valiant troops defending it as murderers, etc.

That is the kind of scum Russert supported. He had this sickly false image of not being the extremist that he really was which allowed him to make some normal people think that these leftists and their policies--which are SO DETRIMENTAL to this country were actually mainstream.

So it's kinda laughable that you think I somehow have any significant influence at all back in the good direction. And as for all the silly crap that you mentioned, WHO CARES? The truth is, maybe a fourth or a third of those things I could actually answer yes to, but not because elitist idiots and government bureaucrats say they are a good idea, but just because I damn well feel like it--just like I don't do the other 2/3 or 3/4 because I damn well don't feel like it--as if any of that crap makes any difference on a macro- level anyway.

Yes, keep laughing about all those things. It just furthers the living legend that is you, in all its brilliant form.

You sound like one of many people in this world that spends most of their time pointing the finger at others as they ignore the things they do to collectively fuck things up for themselves and all the rest of us with their ignorance as to how their personal little contributions add up to big differences.

..all that silly crap I mentioned, what EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US INDIVDUALS CAN DO ABOUT: conserving energy, lowering the cost of oil by using it more efficiently, being a responsible citizen, helping and giving to the poor and less fortunate, knowng how to save a life (possibly one of your own family), being a good neighbor, not being a drain on our resources or society, reducing heathcare costs, being less wasteful with tax dollars, etc..yeah, what a bunch of silly crap. Yeah, individuals have NO control over those kinds of things. Are you just the world's best comedian, or unintentionally slow?

Out of one side of your mouth you bitch about people bringing America down, but out of the other side of your mouth you admit that you probably do plenty as an individual to perpetuate all of our problems.

Yeeee haaaawwww.

[texaspackerbacker]

So now I'm a LEGEND?

You give me far too much credit. Good, bad, or in between, there's no way I--or any of us in a forum like this could ever have any significant influence--and believe me, I do my best--here and elsewhere.

Twoseven, you claim I don't know anything about Russert. The guy was a public figure! That not only means public knowledge, but also that the guy is fair game to be disparaged--like a helluva lot of other public figures, living and dead, liberal and conservative, whatever.

The thing I am ranting about the most, though, are the disgusting fruits of the work of Russert and the others of the leftist mainstream media who have indisputably CHANGED the political face of this country to make anti-America, anti-Christian, pro-socialist, pro-all sorts of previously considered depraved attitudes and behaviors now thinkable and potentially able to achieve power in this country.

Even an honest liberal--if such a creature exists--would give Russert and the others like him "credit" for CHANGE of attitudes as I have described.

[twoseven]

So now I'm a LEGEND?

You give me far too much credit. Good, bad, or in between, there's no way I--or any of us in a forum like this could ever have any significant influence--and believe me, I do my best--here and elsewhere. .

So, you must not vote, then. Why would you, what could your single vote do, right? I feel bad for you if you actually believe that crap. If EVERYONE, or just a helluva lot more people, worked harder on that silly crap I listed our America that you say you love so much would be much better off.


Twoseven, you claim I don't know anything about Russert. The guy was a public figure! That not only means public knowledge, but also that the guy is fair game to be disparaged--like a helluva lot of other public figures, living and dead, liberal and conservative, whatever. .What did you know about his private life? What did you know about the other 23 hours of his day that he wasn't on TV? What do you know about Russert the husband, Russert the son, Russert the father, Russert the friend. You got called out BY THE WHOLE FORUM it seems, not because we think Russert was a saint, but more because your posts concerning the just deceased was a disgusting bunch of bullshit that had to do with tact and timing and your complete lack thereof of both. I know there's probably a whole lot more to Texaspackerbacker than just what your posts leave us. You probably are a husband, son, father too. Might be a great 'all of those' that only rubs people the wrong way when he posts on PackerRats. Maybe we should forget all of that wonderful you might be in private and just focus on your posts? That's ridiculous, but it's eaxctly what you did in regards to Russert.


The thing I am ranting about the most, though, are the disgusting fruits of the work of Russert and the others of the leftist mainstream media who have indisputably CHANGED the political face of this country to make anti-America, anti-Christian, pro-socialist, pro-all sorts of previously considered depraved attitudes and behaviors now thinkable and potentially able to achieve power in this country..
Again, tact and timing. In this instance, you suck at both of them.

I don't see any conservatives running in to support you. Why? You took a personal tragedy and turned it into a political commentary hours after a father, son, and husband died at only 58 at work doing what he believes in..not long after celebrating with his wife and son after the son's college graduation--one of any father's most proud moments, just days before Father's Day. It was fucking clueless and classless. Drop your political crusade for a second and wake up the the fact that you proclaimed happiness at the death of another human being. Way to go.

[texaspackerbacker]

I not sure what you're even talking about with the voting stuff.

As for your sappy crap about Russert's private life, etc., who knows? Who cares? That pales to insignificance next to his public life and the harm he and others of the leftist mainstream media have done in corrupting the electorate.

Likewise, my own "private life" is irrelevant in a forum like this. If some people want to spew a bunch of crap about that sort of thing, that's their privilege. Whatever.

Tact and timing? Who gives a shit! This is a forum. Poeple say whatever they damn well please whenever they damn well please--and you pull this silly political correctness crap? Sheesh!

The guy did major harm to America. He died. I'm glad. You're outraged. BFD. Did you pity that great family man, Saddam Hussein when his two sons were killed? Your kind just might have.

[Tarlam!]

I find it really terrible to start a thread about disliking a fellow Packer Rat. This is what I consider really deplorable behaviour.

I did this once over at JSO. My target was Mad, cause he got up my nose back then. I even started a stupid poll. I was an IDIOT for doing so. By default I am calling you an idiot for starting this thread, Tyrone. For someone who thinks he's so smart, you really dropped the ball on this one. :evil:

[texaspackerbacker]

Thanks again, Tarlam, but don't worry about it. There's a big world outside this forum, and there's a lot more of "us" than there are of "them". If I couldn't take it, I wouldn't dish it out. Actually, I seldom do dish it out to other posters, but as I said, PUBLIC FIGURES ARE FAIR GAME!

Most of these fools getting so outraged by me pissing on Russert are the same ones who, incredibly, call the president of the United States stupid and worse. And where do you think THAT idea got started? From Russert and his sick kind, that's where. The precise thing that made the asshole Russert so dangerous is that so many of these hypocritic sheep believe him and his crap.

[Tarlam!]

Damn. I can't remember how to post a damned pic.

EDIT. OK. I'm drunk, but this thread has gotta go. If somebody would just post a porn pic it'll be gone in two minutes.

I'd do it myself, but I'm too wiped.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I remember in 5th grade we had something called slam books. A spiral notebook was passed around the class like a collection plate at church. Everybody's name was on a page and you wrote what you thought about the person.

Remember when everyone attacked JH for his wishful thinking that AP would get injured? Well, here someone is applauding a death. There is no doubt it will create controversy. Tex knows that or he wouldn't have said anything to begin with. I guess I see it as if Tex couldn't handle the backlash, he wouldn't be so opinionated in his beliefs.

I don't have to like him, but all the power to him.

[Bretsky]

I have no distaste for Tex; his thread regarding a person who passed away was probably in bad taste IMO; then again so is this thread.

[Tarlam!]

Well, here someone is applauding a death.

I must be drunker than usual, but I didn't think Tex started this thread. And, I guess that's what my problem is with this thread. Look, disagree all we want. We're all big kids and can take care of ourselves.

I know Tex doesn't need my help. None the less, if Tyrone had started an anti Bretsky thread, I'd be pissed. An Anti Skin thread, I'd be sticking up for my bro Skin. An anti Sheep-Dip thread, believe me, I'd be defending the Dipper.

We shouldn't do this kind of thing to eachother. We have so many Bear's and Vikings fans to pick on. Tex is a grand ol' Packer fan. He's one of us.

Tell ya what Tyrone, pick on me. Ya Fucking dipstick. Pick on me. I am so friggin' angry at you that you would start a thread like this. I might not be worthy of your IQ, but I gaurantee you, my penis is smaller! So, pick on me.

Go ahead.

No it isn't. It is my right.

And you wouldn't know that I was a drunk unless I told you. So to use that against me is actually pretty cheap. but you are cheap, Tyrone. Everyone here knows it. You take cheap shots. you are a bully. You have no class. You have no respect around here. You are a nothing. Congratulations. You just beat up on a drunk. Well done.

[Partial]

Is everyone just realizing Ty is a classless chomo now?!? GMAFB. What an ass.

[hoosier]

Ty started this thread looking for a way to register his extreme disgust with another thread that celebrates the death of Tim Russert. (For the record, I share Ty's revulsion.) If memory serves, everyone else--or almost everyone--who contributed to the thread has similar feelings about the other thread. When Tarlam criticized Ty for starting this thread, he was coming in late (36 hours after the original thread was started) and he wrote only about Ty's attacking another poster--and said nothing about what might have motivated Ty to do so. fHe also singled Ty out when in reality there were many who were feeling the same way. I think THAT is what Ty was reacting to when he made the remarks about sobriety--the fact that Tarlam either wasn't seeing or wasn't acknowledging the entire picture. I don't read what he said at all as a cheap personal shot against someone who just posted about their struggles with alcohol.

[MJZiggy]

Perhaps it is the fact that the thread which is referred to is so offensive...we may share the sentiment, but to put the reaction into a thread of its own...the other thing to note is that Tar hates threads like these and usually is the one with the balls to stand up and say he thinks it's wrong to start a thread going after an individual poster no matter what they've done. I don't recall anyone else he's chided for this ever coming back at him with something like Tyrone did. Ty could also be getting extra abuse for it because he is such a caustic forum personality. I don't know if he's that way in person as I've never met him, but on the forum, he can be kinda brutal and you tend to get what you give.

[Scott Campbell]

This thread blows.

[Bretsky]

This thread blows.

Funny that I was thinking the exact same thing as I was reading up on it a couple minutes ago

[hoosier]

I don't know. I felt, and I assume Ty felt, that the person starting the other thread had crossed the line. Not only the line of civility (that was crossed long ago) but the basic, zero degree decency of not dehumanizing your political opponents, and especially not when they're dead. In that light I thought Ty's thread was perfectly understandable. It's not what I would have done--my own feeling, right or wrong, is that to name the other poster or post in their thread is to give their actions more dignity than they deserve. But I don't think what Ty did deserved being called out for it.

The problem is, both of the threads in question were started to get a reaction from the others who frequent this site. This is exactly what has happened. They dont care if the reaction is positive or negative, as long as someone is paying attention.

Its the off season and its harder for normal non-attention seekers to avoid these really stupid threads. There's nothing much football related going on, and its summer(almost) so people aren't as bored sitting around their house starting interesting threads. Plus its an election year. I'd almost rather have Bearman back than see another political thread started. Well thats a stretch, but you get my meaning.

Fuck I hate the off seasons around here.

I think THAT is what Ty was reacting to when he made the remarks about sobriety--the fact that Tarlam either wasn't seeing or wasn't acknowledging the entire picture. I don't read what he said at all as a cheap personal shot against someone who just posted about their struggles with alcohol.

Exactly.

He attacked me,not just once...but, repeatedly.

And, for the rest of you..how do i know tarlam is really a drunk? I've never met him, i've never heard it discussed..for all i know it is a big put on.

Well, here someone is applauding a death.

I must be drunker than usual, but I didn't think Tex started this thread. And, I guess that's what my problem is with this thread. Look, disagree all we want. We're all big kids and can take care of ourselves.

I know Tex doesn't need my help. None the less, if Tyrone had started an anti Bretsky thread, I'd be pissed. An Anti Skin thread, I'd be sticking up for my bro Skin. An anti Sheep-Dip thread, believe me, I'd be defending the Dipper.

We shouldn't do this kind of thing to eachother. We have so many Bear's and Vikings fans to pick on. Tex is a grand ol' Packer fan. He's one of us.

Tell ya what Tyrone, pick on me. Ya Fucking dipstick. Pick on me. I am so friggin' angry at you that you would start a thread like this. I might not be worthy of your IQ, but I gaurantee you, my penis is smaller! So, pick on me.

October might be a bit unreasonable...perhaps october of 2009.

And this is coming from the crack smokin rat? Like you should be judging anyone...

What it comes down to now is ego, and Tyrone, yours is way too big for this place.

You really think i'm smokin crack? get serious.

I didn't call tarlam out. Who is swearing at me? who is saying they are so freakin angry?

If you wanna get caustic, if you want to go..then be prepared to go all the way.

Perhaps it is the fact that the thread which is referred to is so offensive...we may share the sentiment, but to put the reaction into a thread of its own...the other thing to note is that Tar hates threads like these and usually is the one with the balls to stand up and say he thinks it's wrong to start a thread going after an individual poster no matter what they've done. I don't recall anyone else he's chided for this ever coming back at him with something like Tyrone did. Ty could also be getting extra abuse for it because he is such a caustic forum personality. I don't know if he's that way in person as I've never met him, but on the forum, he can be kinda brutal and you tend to get what you give.

Tarlam is not one to back away from a fight. or to not start one. He was drunk, and he started a verbal fight, he brought up his drunkeness. Tyrone used it.

Well well well. Now it's about killing this thread, etc.

I feel like Patrick Henry or whoever it was back in the beginning of the country who had the famous quote, "I may not agree with what the asshole says (paraphrasing), but I'll defend to the death his right to say it". To the death is kinda extreme, but as the target of Tyrone's ..... whatever you want to call it ......, I'm not bothered by it.

Spewing and ranting--just like I did--is what forums are for. Of course, that includes ya'all's right to make a big deal about this thread, I guess.

Tarlam, thanks again for being the only one sane enough/drunk enough/whatever to speak out in favor of me. Even though I can take it as well as I can dish it out, I appreciate you. If you're still looking for an appropriate porn picture, check out a lady named Betty Bigguns--probably Tyrone's mother.

Tarlam started on me on a completely different thread in the packers forum. Believe it was vanderjagt thread.

If we look at the history...first he comes on this thread and posts that he likes Tex. Then he reposts it...in response to MJ.

No reply from me.

then he posts again.No response from Tyrone.

He again posts. To TwoSeven..no response from Ty.

He posts..and calls me an idiot. No response from Ty.

Calls for deletion..no response from me.

Finally, he goes off AGAIN...calls me a fuckin dipstick...and Tyrone responds.

Tyrone didn't go looking to start a fight with anyone...tyrone wasn't arguing with him about Tex. But, ty isn't letting someone call him a fuckin dipstick.

Tarlam challenged me to go after him..said he could take it. You wanna fight? then we will fight.

Then, he cries like a little bitch...i have no class, congrats..i beat up a drunk, etc.

Tyrone didn't ever say he was a bad person, worthless, etc...tyrone merely stated that observing how drunk he is/was, his attitude...and the complexity of his problem..that drying out might take a bit longer than he expects.

Tyrone didn't say he couldn't do it. Tyrone never said..you'll always be a drunk.
