They&#039;re all connected, so does that mean they&#039;re all the same thing? Or that one is interchangeable with any other?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My poetic aspersions as to how oestrogenic the preceeding statement was were heinously censored by our host, so you missed most of the context of the comment.

In simple terms, you are the kind of man who accepts the reproductive members of other men inside your anus. This fact is demonstrated by your ability to utter statements like “lawyers are the true warriors of society” which fairly take the cake as far as gayest arrangements of words that can ever possibly be uttered in english.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m not a lawyer, I’m an anticapitalistcapitalist and poster’s poster.

Remember back when we established that you were a wagey (probably a mid engineer) and I literally begged you to quit? The email-job-haver cries out as he strikes.

It’s a feminine personality trait, presumably inculcated by your having spent endless droning years implicitly topped by HR.

		<description><![CDATA[Pseud:

I would offer a reply to you could I find a coherent point on which to hang it. Alas, it appears to be, if not randomly generated, then at least in response to some other user prompt than mine.

In reality, words mean what they say, the pyramidal debtor-creditor structure of civilization is essentially unchanging, and the esquires ride gallantly into the field with their right honorable masters to subdue the miserable masses of unruly peasant debtors.

Most innocent bystanders to this farce likely think that I’m just kidding around or something, but little do they know that, in addition to lawyers being titled Esquire, in the legal order of the United Kingdom (of which the United State’s legal order is firstborn son) High Court judges are given knighthoods and titled Knights Bachelor,[1] their superiors (appellate judges) are titled Lord Justice,[2] and &lt;i&gt;their&lt;/i&gt; superiors (supreme-court judges) are granted peership (if they are not already peers) and titled Lord, followed by a surname, territorial designation, or a combination of both, for life.[3]

In Pseud’s off-point la-la-land, this is all just one huge coincidence. In reality, it isn’t: paper cuts more deeply than any sword, the study of law is the study of private war, and lawyers are the true warriors of society.

God, I am so good at this.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;What is a warrior? a man who bears a sword.&quot;

I can live with this...

The rest seems to be sort of a family spat of sorts.

As far as the American warrior caste not having coherent theology, well it&#039;s more we had one called the Republic and the Constitution we swore to uphold, and then the priests betrayed us all.

Like the rest of America we&#039;ll find our souls are now quite mad.  That&#039;s what happened to Islam you know, the Sunni lost the Caliphate in 1924 in another spasm of modernity and they went quite mad. 

The Colonels you see are sound in their minds but their souls are mad.  So is America. 

If you like that part, you&#039;ll love the return of real democracy, the Demos you see know now they&#039;ve been robbed, no more fig leaf of elections.  Just the priests shriveled memberships. 

The Demos shall return howling for their due and no money nor words nor anything but justice will do. Justice shall run red in the gutters and the streams into the Oceans, why the very Atlantic will turn red.  

Truly it&#039;s something to see the first time the pack tastes blood, they want MORE.  Of course they do and by God, Gaia and our god Nihil let them have it !]]></description>
