Just want to make sure you guys let me over the border in the future... :-p So what color is the doggie suit?
I went with the charcoal. Better for sneaki... I mean... uh... it's more aesthetically pleasing.

You'll have no trouble crossing the border this way. Escaping again might not be so easy. :-p

I link therefore I am.


I despise Descartes with a passion matched only by my despise for socialists. He commits a very serious logical error by assuming that the very issue in question has already been proven(incidently, Marx and all socialists make a similar error)--twice, in that one statement. Although the second can be, for practical reasons considered trivial, the first cannot so easily be ignored.

:rolleyes: Ermm...okay...well...uh...best translation of that mess I could come up with was that you don't like Descartes (in fact you hate him) simply because he presupposes that human beings exist, and are capable of thought? :confused:
