Thanks, bigpapa. You’re a good man.

I trust you’ll express yourself as you see fit…as I said, I do enjoy your candid and straightforward approach!

No worries SoCal,,,
I don’t do cowboy but since you ask I’ll try to refrain..
I can respect that..

If you’ll forgive me the once in a blue moon indiscretion?

Seriously, that’s fine..

Regards

bigpapa,
LOL, wussy liberal I am not, but I do understand how it could sound that way. I always try the diplomatic approach, and I’m sure that can be annoying to someone who’s a no hold’s bar straight shooter like yourself. I respect that about your blogs, btw.

I honestly wasn’t just referring to you, but yes, your post is what prompted my comment. I know that Arthur initially prompted this unfortunate discourse on this thread, but I thought there were others as well who were getting a little too expressive for my taste. Maybe I’m incorrect about that–I don’t always remember who said what.

Okay, bigpapa, you want it straight? I’m asking you to “cowboy up” and at least do what you can to be the bigger person here, and not let someone else drag you down with them. You seem like a good-hearted person, and one who is able to do that, so how about it?

(That’s about as straightforward as I’m going to get…hope it suffices!)

SoCal,
As far as I’m concerned you’re welcome to express yourself as you see fit.
Obviously you’re referring to me and I would appreciate it if you would be forthright enough to call me out on it.
I’ve only felt compelled to respond to Arthur in the same terms as obviously that’s what he/she feels compelled to do.
Don’t act like a wussy liberal,, I’m man enough to take criticism and if you just ask I’ll respect your wishes..

Anyone can ask and I’m gentleman enough to comply but blanket, vague statements are annoying..

I know I probably don’t have enough clout here yet to even say anything, but I am starting to get concerned about some of the explicit language I’ve been reading on Flopping Aces recently as it relates to the human anatomy, if you get my drift. No one has made me the expletives police, and understand 1st Amendment rights of everyone here…guess I’m just exercising my 1st Amendment right to express a concern! I’m really and truly not picking on any one person, even though this is following bigpapa, but a few different folks who have a LOT of passion about the issues. One thing I really like about Flopping Aces is that it seems to be fairly clean for the most part, unlike some blogs where it seems anything goes with regards to language. Folks at FA pretty much disagree respectfully, and I’ve appreciated that.

O.k., I’m done preaching…thanks for reading!

Arthur,,,,
“Sigh.

No one said you can’t drive papa.

It’s just going to cost a lot more to do so.

That’s just the way it is.

And the sooner we get a lot more serious about enabling people to move around in ways beyond the passenger car, the better. Public transportation? Of course.

Simple as that. Nothing new. The gasoline ‘crisis’ didn’t happen overnight but we have avoided dealing with the issue for decades.

And as for the size of your truck. I had to ask.

I often find guys who feel the need to talk the ‘balls’ of other guys often are a little insecure about their own.

Your p***y remark pretty much confirms that.”

Sorry for my brief absence,, I went to visit family for a few days.

You are well and truly pathetic AS…S….

The “crisis” happend due to the pathetic greens and the pandering of the democraps to them.
Look to your lovely party for the crisis,, it’s that simple..
You may have to lay off the weed or du or KOS for a while to be clean enough to see the truth but that is the truth and it started with jimmah catier… idiot presidente’.

And if you had any brain cells at all,,, you would know my truck is normal size..
And you are the moron that started with a comment about the size of my cock… I just assumed you were interested.. after all you brought it up.

OH and lastly, you’ve offered no examples of how we’re supposed to achieve this magical transformation to “public” transportation… because you have none.. . you pussy

Ah, DW shows up around here to try to take me on again. Alas, but again, fails.

Arthurstone started the immature genitalia insults. If it hadn’t been for that, bigpapa wouldn’t feel the need to write the things he did. I’m not defending nor condoning what bigpapa did. There’s no, “Good job, bigpapa!” there, and there won’t be. It’s just regretful that commenting and insulting has been reduced to that.

That was another pointless attempt to make me look like I don’t know what I’m talking about. Thanks for that diversion, again. Next time, can you comment when you have something interesting and valid to say on the topic?

And Arthurstone #16: it’s not as easy as you make it sound. I take public transportation myself, but it doesn’t reach everywhere, and it can’t reach everywhere. I still need to drive to actually get to the train or the bus station. Your problem’s not with the cars, it’s with the zoning laws. Either way you look at it, (just like that commercial that ran a few years ago said), life sucks without a car. It’s not like in some countries in Europe where everything’s literally walking-distance from your house.
