oh. my. I was eagerly waiting on your reply and this is what I get? King Lincoln? Are you serious? Lincoln DID reunite the nation, so much so that he died for it. Wow. This is frightening that high schools are turning kids out these days that think this/know so little.

What do you mean he forced them into submission with "thousands of immigrant lives"? That makes no sense.

Teddy Roosevelt did a lot of other stuff too. Hit the books champ. Oh, and wouldn't you know, he did a whole lot of stuff that was unpopular. And still, an American.

Wow...just...wow.

JB...don't be an idiot. If Rebel says Perry was not an Aggie, he wasn't an Aggie. You better not sass him or he'll revoke your rights as well.

yes JB, fear me!

BTW how was the hog?
Are you playing in the tournament this week?

Smart move ignoring the questions.

case & point...

is anybody for the Trans-Texas Corridor?

Plenty of Texans support the TTC.

To those that oppose it, I always ask, "What solution do you propose for the disaster that is I-35?"

In the meantime, have fun fighting to help Carol Hyphenhorn finish second in a few weeks.

Finish it. I'm not sure why you consider it a disaster, because it gets people from Oklahoma to Mexico if that's where they are going. The points that aren't doing so hot are in Austin (construction), Temple (construction), Waco (construction) and San Antonio (construction)...

How is building a highway that has rail, and utilities in the middle going to help solve the traffic problems due to construction along I-35?

What would your stance on the issue be if they were to bulldoze your house to make a road that allowed one side of town to get to Kyle Field quicker on gameday? They would pay "market value" for your property, but everything you've known, and your entire family history will have to be up rooted and moved for a few people to save a few minutes...it just isn't justifiable.

Construction is a way of life. Especially in Texas, you can't escape it...ever.

Regardless of whether or not I agree with the TTC, I'll answer your question about what it would do as far as traffic is concerned in I-35. It would severely lessen the congestion. Ta-da!

got a test tuesday so i will not be playing, and the hog was pretty good.

and i am more apt to trust rebel than you square

about...?

Was it the King Lincoln thing? Damn...I think that would come back to haunt me.

anything SO

even when he says that he's quite prepared to not think of somebody else as an Aggie for having a different opinion than him?

Earlier you took issue with that.

lets say that an Aggie is soley defined by the Aggie Code of Honor...

which of the six parts of the Aggie Code has Rick Perry not blantantly broken while in office?

Six? Unless we're looking at two different things, I've always believed there were 4. Have you never told a lie?

Judge not lest ye be judged...
Stones...something about casting them first...prostitutes...free of sin...yeah.

Don't judge somebody else unless you're perfect.

And anyways, IS an Aggie solely defined as simply those who fit under those qualifications? Of course not! There are lots of good people in this world who don't lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do, but they don't go to A&M!

The Aggie Code of Honor, doesn't say "An Aggie attends Texas A&M University and does not..."

Being an Aggie is about a hell of a lot more than a device used to curb cheating.

yep, that's what I said alright!

So by your logic, you must not be an Aggie because more than likely your house was built on some families land that was forced to sell it so a subdivision was put in- and you bought the housr anyway.

Shame on you!!!!!

*GASP*

1)An Aggie does not lie
2)An Aggie does not cheat

4)An aggie does not tolerate anybody that lies
5)An Aggie does not tolerate anybody that cheats
6)An Aggie does not tolerate anybody that steals

...6 stipulations...ah, ah, ah <in my best Count voice>

how would this be more than likely? It is a possiblity yes, but not a very good one.

Please tell me you are joking.

well, I could...but that would be a lie.

Well, I haven't been to the bonfire forum in a while, but its taken me all of about 10 minutes reading to learn that TexasRebel isn't an Aggie.

I just decided that he isn't, so SHAZAM!

It is so.

De-Aggied!

so says Gomer Pyle...

"Ch Bass is spouting the same rhetoric that the tu lawyers and media people spit out.We are all aware of what happened.We all hurt about it for a long time.It is time to get back on the horse and honor those who died, bycarring on the tradition that they loved.ChBass can keep jabbering the same BS that all of the non-Aggie opponents babble,but I know that the large majority of Aggies everywhere want it back.It is time to stop trying to be politically correct and bring back what was the heart of our A&M traditions."

Aftermath....you are not only way out of line, you are downright dangerous. As an "outsider", but with many friends and family members who have attended and graduated from A&M, I can confidently say that you are very much in the minority with regards to your reckless and callous attitude towards the 12 students who died and their family members who will never stop grieving for them.

Bevo, please don't let Aftermath represent the lot of us. If he had it his way we'd still be all-male, all-military, and quite likely have a KKK chapter on campus. He'd do anything to have anything "the way it was" and he thinks Gates, the soon to be Sec. of Defense, was horrible for this university.

Square....no worries. Hence what I said. I know he does not represent the majority....not even close. Thanks.

Why does it not surprise me that SquareOne07 is looking to BEVO for companionship..You found you mate.I told you that tu was the place for you. Check out the For or Against thread,You are alone SquareOne!

You are ridiculous, quit talking before you embarass yourself more than you already have.

and for the record, I'm "for" on that thread...idiot.

I think the contradiction is where someone says they are "for" but then devotes their time to backing "against" or more appropriately, pointing out flaws and failures. I guess if imperfections were addressed and then methods of improvements were discussed a vote for "for" would seem obvious.

p.s. - Square, I am not disrespecting you or doing any name calling. I think you care that people believe you, but you aren't really giving evidence to support your view of "for". Here's your chance to explain...or you can just call me names or tell me I am an idiot...or maybe even say that it is people like me who run people off from Bonfire.

I believe the question was whether or not people were "for" or "against" Bonfire ON campus. Also, if you think you can't support something and still find faults in it in hope that it got better, than I would say you're wrong.

I'm for Bonfire on campus. I find faults in the bonfire off campus. I support the efforts of those working on it regardless.
