Is there a Brink?

mallardtooxx · 2003-06-09T19:31:20.000Z

For the last few months I have watched everyone here get into arguments. I have also watched people defend themselves and each other. I have seen many different countries, religions, professions and genres duke it out. To me this is a good thing. Knowing when to go off topic is important when there is a reason; the problem is the reason itself. It is because of this I toss this little question out there. "IS there really such a thing as the brink? Can a situation escalate to such a levelthat no-one can stop it?" I ask this for the people who, like me, like to debate. I ask this because I have a very well defined ideal of what the "Brink" is. I want to see if I am close in my definition. I am not looking for the brink of anything in particular here, it could be anything, or it could be nothing. I have seen you guys go to bat for one another; I have seen you tear each other down. What I have not seen is what defines your reactions. I know this is a very vague statement, but I also know you can all handle it. I don't care what gets posted below this thread, if anything at all. But I want to see if we can push the "brink" here or if we are all too afraid to speak our minds because of what, in the United States anyway; has begun to decay us, Political Correctness. So there it is people, I will even pick a topic to start it off just because I want to see it. Lets talk about something that irks me no end to start off. Welfare. -duck

"Maxwells Silver Hammer made sure that he was dead.

whoo hooo hooo whoo!

Cmon! It's been his mission, since day one."

Ok, so I'll admit that prior to his date with Joan I don't know much about him. So maybe the "Day 1" should have been "Line 1".

I don't understand why you're curious about this point really though.

Ya know, you could fire back a tease about me being "l33t" :)

I do believe that is the first time in 20 years I have seen that music word for word. The composer, johnny mandell is his name, would be joyous. However, didn't he commit suicide in the Eighties? I can't remember.

Julian was strenuous, getting disingenuous,
A real pain to behold.
Trying to be cute, but he wasn?t, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.
Maxwell Edison, tired of the two-faced one
Called him out to duel.
Can I take you down to the canvass, Ju-u-lian?
But as he?sgetting ready to hide,
A knock comes on the door

Bang! Bang!
Maxwell?s Silver Hammer came down upon his head.
Clang! Clang!
Maxwell?s Silver Hammer made sure he was dead.

Back on line again Maxwell played his dime again.
Julian gets annoyed.
Trying to create an unpleasant sce-e-e-ene.
Jules admitting that he lied, wasn?t very nice inside,
Maxwell gets disturbed.
Thinking fifty times, I must not get so-o-o-o.
But Jules was caught off-guard by the move,
As Maxwell strikes again.
Bang! Bang!
Maxwell?s Silver Hammer came down upon his head.
(Doo doo doo doo doo)
Clang! Clang!
Maxwell?s Silver Hammer made sure he was dead.
(Doo doo doo doo doo)

Then the feathered one, wanting just to have some fun.
Is Maxwell justified?
Painting testimonial pictures, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.
Did he cut and paste, or edit all-over the place
Julian?s cruel email.
Some do not agree and they tell him so-o-o-o.
But Maxwell should be vin-di-ca-ted,
Because if he is not.

Bang! Bang!Maxwell?s Silver Hammer came down upon his head.
(Doo doo doo doo doo)
Clang! Clang!
Maxwell?s Silver Hammer made sure he was dead.

SILVER HAMMER MAN.
