He's also on FM Talk; here in St. Louis that's 97.1 MHz on FM. He's a cool guy.

Americans :rolleyes: :doubt:
-
The reason I ask is because not too many people like him... or his views.
-
I like him.
-
I like his show, don't agree with a lot of what he thinks, but he makes his points with a type of humor I can agreee with.
-
I find the poll....disturbing... apparantly 52% of visitors to that site think that 'What we should do about Iran' is 'Bomb them.'
Admittedly, the options are pretty limited.

Same here, with the humor thing that is...
Not to get off topic, but...
How ya doing Bob? :)
Curious also as to why you have that scripture in your sig. ;)

oh, yeah, you left when you found out after like a year of being here that half the board was non-theocratic.
well the stuf in my sig is a reference to a verse in the Bible the vast majority of people chose to ignore,
anyway back to the subject at hand, beck tends to have over blown oppinions on subjects and lets them loose in the most taktless manner he posably can, generaly he is glad no one takes him seriously. he has said a number of times we should nuke Iran/Iraq/N.Korea/ect but it's usualy in the context of a very round about sort of sarcasm, you have to listen to his show a lot to get that he isn't truely being serious, and it's very easy to misrepresent or misquote him to make him seem like a homocidal maniac, and he doesn't realy care.
there are few people I know of who can make a joke brutaliseing my side of an argument in such a way that, even though it doesn't change my mind, I can't help but laugh at the way he put it.
a good example of his sort of humor I can just vaugely remember, there was this girl who was killed by her stepfather for some reason, he goes into this long detailed account of how and why she was killed, of her last moments, then he starts talking about her best frend and how they would talk about the hopes and dreams and how the girl would spend her lunch money to feed her freind, her only frend, when her freind lost it or something, and just when you'r feeling sickened by her death at the hands of some lowlife and a tear starts to form in your eye, just when you think 'my god that is just so horable!' and there is a long silence... and then in a upbeat tone "this half hour of the program is brougt to you by mikes pants! ..."ect.
it's just such a 'OH MY GOD YOU ARE SO ****ING HEARTLESS!' moment that you can't breath you are laughing so hard.
and there was the good old 'have a happy hanuquansmas'
"Oh, no! The eskimo's need a holiday
we'll get right on it, afther we make one for the gays [effeminent]YAY!"

Naah... That aint why I left. :) It was more like 2 years I was here, then I got severly depressed. That argument was more a less a cruch to move on with my life. I got to the state of mind that everything on here was holding me back and teenage confusion kicked in with already a depressing stage of my life. So I set out to find religous truth and left what could have been my god. This place I was on it all the time, day and night, 24/7. I had enough. I knew everybody here "for the most part" were not thiest. Anyway, I read up on the scripture. We use Old Testament scriptures in our doctrine and believe it to be the bible just as much of the new. But I got to post later in a hurry. Sorry it got out of hand Bob. ;)
