Taro T Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 But if Pat Boone had NOT been at the Alamo would he have gained enough popularity to become President in the first place? 843777[/snapback] Prob'ly not. I think Davy Crickett would have won the Mexkin killin' vote. Darn rental car stands. Why'd he ever think that hangin' out at a Tex'n rental car stand would get him votes outside of Tennessee is still a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Pat Buchanan was a great President - like Kirk! Picard, OTOH, is queer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picard, OTOH, is queer. 843820[/snapback] Kirk was an Admiral, but I agree with your sentiment. He didn't have pockets and he still got all the hot chicks. Picard IMO is queer whether he's right or left handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyemike Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Only question I ever thought was hard, Was "Do I like Kirk, or do I like Picard?" -- from Weird Al Yankovic's "White and Nerdy". BTW Kirk >>> Picard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy was always a 'Southie'! 843895[/snapback] If memory serves, he moved north at about the same time as the Dred Nought decision came down. He felt that his political ambitions could be better met if he uprooted himself and his family. To this day his wife is still a bitter bitter woman. Just to spite Jimmy she voted for that fag Picard.

Tolstoy Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 This Kirk/Picard issue is a serious matter for serious-minded people. It is deserving of careful consideration. After pondering the difficulty for some time, I have decided that Picard is by far the better leader, the better captain, and the better man. Why? Well, the very fact that I am giving reasons should show why I chose Picard. First, Picard is a man of reason, not a sentimental fop (Kirk). A true leader, and a true man, is not governed by childish displays of emotion, but rather by careful deliberation (Picard). Second, Picard is man of learning. In his off-hours, Picard reads archeology, literature, history, and philosophy. He thereby fulfills his greatest capacity as a human being--the capacity to think, reason, and know. I don't think there is evidence that Kirk knows how to read (much less to think). In his off-hours, he collapses, exhausted and spent from his outrageous displays of emotion. Third, Picard is a man of self-discipline. Unlike Kirk, he is not governed by his base, lower, animalistic drives (such as the desire for sex). Every action Picard takes is done so because it is the right thing to do (in his mind), and not simply because he "wants to." Kirk beds every woman who comes his way, showing a profound lack of respect for the sacred dimension of the sexual act. In short, Picard is governed by reason, and Kirk by desires and emotions. As a result, Picard is better than Kirk. Finally, if you choose Kirk, you clearly display the same qualities that Kirk posesses, and show a lack of appreciation for the rational faculty. Therefore, you too are a lesser human being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the future you may want to consider that you can wrap all the reasons you want around sided with a limp wristed frog but it'll still make you look like a limp wristed frog too.
