Perhaps you should spend less time in your day whining about my posts and more time ignoring them (or reading them if you prefer.) One who actually read what I wrote would see there were three observations in that one compact sentence. * Only one of which addressed the OP's literacy. * And none addressed yours.

Is it mere coincidence that someone with such hyperbolic and unjustified speculation also uses commas to construct his ellipses? First Class Citizen Twice Over

Generally not. This doesn't seem likely to go anywhere. First Class Citizen Twice Over

Oh yeah! And didn't clinton get a blowjob? First Class Citizen Twice Over

Did you come to that opinion after reading the research in the field or does it just feel right to you? It's really too bad English doesn't have different words for those two types of opinions. First Class Citizen Twice Over

Our boat is named "Miss Coco Peru". Google it if you're curious. First Class Citizen Twice Over

Yelling at a guest and calling her names is what you mean by "fair and balanced"? Wow. Things have changed since I was in grade school. First Class Citizen Twice Over

Doesn't bother me none -- I just boggle at self-destructive human behaviors. It hurts you more than you know. But maybe that's your purpose ... Are you saying you don't have ANYTHING else in your life to talk about? That's sad... and very important. First Class Citizen Twice Over

Is there a reason you hint at or bring this up in every thread? First Class Citizen Twice Over

Could you explain what authenticity means? Are you talking about some official stamp of approval? By the way, the "Iliad" wasn't written down until centuries after it was first told (presumably by a man named Homer although that's not certain.) It's possibly fiction and possibly based on an actual battle at an actual city, although very few people think the details are accurate. And regarding Shakespeare, again there's significant dispute about WHO wrote these works. And nobody believes they're histories. They're stage plays! So again, what do you mean by "authentic"? What exactly are you comparing the Bible to again? First Class Citizen Twice Over

I'm going to patiently try one more time even though your behavior recently has diminished my confidence that you're sincere. The law the libertarian would desire would prohibit government(s) from claiming jurisdiction in the future. Much like the oft-ignored tenth amendment. Libertarian ideals have no objection to laws which prohibit governments from claiming anti-libertarian perogatives. To claim otherwise is just pedantic. First Class Citizen Twice Over

I said much the same thing back in post #9. This crowd is spectacular at taking any criticism of their reasoning as an attack on their politics. This is especially true when the criticism is justified. First Class Citizen Twice Over

I disagree with your analysis. The libertarian would definitely want a guarantee for the legality of abortions. It might not be a narrow proscription against making abortion itself illegal. Instead it would speak more broadly to the legality of most things. The liberal wants a narrow law so they can write lots of other narrow laws without the hindrance of principle. The conservative is exactly the same. Speaking just of abortion however, the practical result is interesting: (A) Liberal: Everyone can have abortions (B) Conservative: No one can have abortions (C) Libertarian: Everyone can have abortions Which seems to support the original contention that the libertarian and the social liberal have much in common.

Oh? Do you think they could report on the myriad special rights you keep claiming gay people have? If so maybe we could finally find out what they are 'cause you sure won't name any of them. First Class Citizen Twice Over

Yes, rocks. Except in Kansas. There are no rocks in the clouds in Kansas. First Class Citizen Twice Over

No, I don't feel like bantering with you. I was responding to lawrocket who isn't just here to shoot people down. I suspect he already sees how my point applies and you never will. First Class Citizen Twice Over

I think what you were trying to say was "Please enlighten me as to why diving through clouds is dangerous." If that's actually what you were asking, just remember that clouds contain rocks and airplanes. First Class Citizen Twice Over

No, not really. Read my comment above about "splitting the vote" and crwtom's more detailed explanation. Here's a simpler illustration: In a population where 60% prefer chocolate and 40% prefer strawberry, run a poll with the following three choices: A) Milk chocolate B) Dark chocolate C) Strawberry You'll find that strawberry comes out the winner. Woo hoo for the strawberries. First Class Citizen Twice Over

Can you say "splitting the vote"? *sigh*... I feel like a kindergarten teacher sometimes. And I just know someone's going to take my spitting on this silly poll and sillier interpretation as confirmation that I hold some ideology or other. Go ahead if you must, but only at risk of being stupidly wrong. That risk doesn't seem to bother a lot of people here. But to those who would prefer to be correct (few though you may be,) my only ideology is that lousy reasoning is revolting. There's a lot of it going around... First Class Citizen Twice Over

Impeachment - It's Not Just for Blowjobs Anymore
narcimund replied to pop's topic in Speakers Corner
Using some of those psychic powers, Narcimund? No psychic powers needed. They preach, posecute, and legislate endlessly about it. That's pretty good evidence they're also thinking about it. Of course I'm ASSUMING they actually think. Maybe that's unwarrented. If so, I apologize. First Class Citizen Twice Over -

American right wing men in general can't stop thinking about other men getting blowjobs. First Class Citizen Twice Over -
Many years ago at a DZ with a LOUSY culture of safety, four of us did a high altitude hop&pop into 10,000 feet of dense clouds. We flew in close formation (so we wouldn't lose sight of each other) until breaking out at about 2,000 feet. We flew through heavy snow on the way down. The flakes came up at us from below (or so the flight angle made it appear). Under canopy the big fluffy flakes didn't sting and they were amazingly beautiful. And yes, now I know how stupid it was. And of course we ended up MILES away from the DZ. But it's still a great memory
