1. I will not tolerate dissent on the issue of whether we have a leader, peasant!
However, if you prefer someone else, I am open to hearing your thoughts. Just use "I" messages, as in, "I feel that you've been ordering too many beatings," etc. :-)

4. We need a strong leader to defend us from the GD terrorists.
They've been posturing, making threats. Name-calling, even.

We don't know when they'll strike. But it will be soon, and we must be ready.

BTW, I'm also reading all of your PMs, now.

16. The Lady of the Lake
her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signfiying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king!

(Audio: http://arago4.tnw.utwente.nl/stonedead/movies/holy-grail/ra/03-07.ra)





You knew it was coming, didn't ya? :D

17. di'int you ever see 2001? there was this one group of monkeys with a REALLY pissy...
ugly monkey leader dude, and then these other monkeys were all like, "Fuck That!! We NEED that fucking water!!" so the other monkey dude in the group that di'int have a pissy monkey dude in it yet, was like playing around just fucking off with some bones knocking them around and voila!!

he, THAT soon to be pissy-leader-monkey-dude, he was all like, "Damn! I can crush bones with this fucking bone thing. Hm." so he was all like, "I'm going to bed." but...

in the morning he passed out all these bone things and formed a posse, and they rolled up on those other monkey-punks and scraed the crap out of them in the process of beating the shit out of the original pissy monkey dude, and the rest just ran away.

and THAT is how it all started :thumbsup:

18. Oh didn't you read that story in the Bible!
Edited on Mon Oct-15-07 12:58 AM by JVS
1st Samuel 8:4-21
So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah. 5 They said to him, "You are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have."

6 But when they said, "Give us a king to lead us," this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD. 7 And the LORD told him: "Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. 8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do."

10 Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king. 11 He said, "This is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. 16 Your menservants and maidservants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use. 17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day."

19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. "No!" they said. "We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles."

21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD. 22 The LORD answered, "Listen to them and give them a king."
Then Samuel said to the men of Israel, "Everyone go back to his town."

19. BGL told me so
Edited on Mon Oct-15-07 01:00 AM by krispos42
He said if he wanted my opinion, he'd tell it to me. Then he did! And my opinion, apparantly, was that we needed a leader. Him, specifially.

:shrug:

22. The leader is the one that gets blamed for everything
Did you accidentally poop in the foyer? Leader's fault for not showing you where the loo is!!

Verbally bitchslap someone and don't want to apologize? Leader's fault, gotta back up the team!

It's okay to hate the leader, too. How many leaders does it take to screw in a light-bulb? 47, because they're so fucking stupid BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

23. It's instinctive.
If a group of people are randomly put together in some sort of crisis (the classic example is castaways on an island) one will immediately emerge as the leader.
