That is one thing I will say you are correct about and I was wrong

But it was very nit picky

I agree with the sentiment expressed here, can't wait until you leave the US again

For being 32 and spending years taking an education (education is not given in most circumstances you must make it) you still have some very angry young man concepts

Growing up, we called this "ranking"... One upping an opponent until they got pissed off and resorted to either personalized profanity or violence.

Same game, different stage.

I bet you I can find a clip of him saying something close.

I can find tapes of Nixon losing it on a regular basis, Clinton, Johnson.. Many of the politicians of our time had a terribly short fuse... They had handlers to keep the public from seeing that side...

It may not be an admirable trait, but that does not mean it is not common. Why do so many of the "intelligentsa" work behind closed doors, with their only contact with the outside being their published writings. Because they do not know how to deal with people, they are scared of the outside world, they have paranoia running at levels well above the rest of the folks.


No, I was referring to the many people who are not part of academia.. The doctors, the lawyers, the engineers, the system designers, the programmers, the mailmen, the garbage men and the many other people in this world who may be of higher than normal intelligence but who choose to go out into the scarey world and live it rather than sit behind the scenes and study it.

Not necessarilly. Depends on the people. I have known many very intelligent people who held very closeminded opinions. I have also known many blue collar "normal" intelligence level folks who were extremely open minded. That has nothing to do with intelligence per se. There are many extremely intelligent people who believe in God and Jesus and a spiritual afterlife, whether that belief would seem logical to me or not. The belief systems of a person often shape many of their outwardly shown viewpoints of the world.

is this not a valid question? I await a reply Labret.

Sorry, 6 subjects at once.

Of course, I know many many people that are not stereotypical Americans.

There just happen to be far more neopatriot minivan driving uneducated flag wavers. Those are the enemy I speak of.

should I give you lessons how to be in 20 threads at once beating EVERY GFYer on my way?

increase your mental RAM, it helps

So you qualify us Fat Lazy Americans when given the oppurtunity. Don't you think the others who are discussing all this with you may feel that their sweeping generalizations would be qualified as well? I mean in the heat of debate it is normal to generalize to some extent to make a point. Pointing out the generalizations of others begs your own to be brought to the forefront as well.

smiley faces and stange one liners and pics of abortions?

Works for you, but I require a little more.

Not a problem. Careful what you ask for however, what you hear you will not like. You want to see the monkies freak the fuck out, get me started on my support for Al Queda.

So ask away, I rarely hold back.

in all honesty, I ask nothing more than for consistancy of standards. If you generalize, be preapred for others to do so as well. As for your views on terrorism or terrorist, those are your views and I have my own. I do not express them here because they would be easily misunderstood. Not because the people here are not smart as hell, they have a proven track record, but due entirely to my inability to express myself clearly.

Finally, after all these years, I have met an obvious member of the "effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals."

Serge needs more impressions.

Years of bad foreign policy come home to roost. It was a nice wake up call. A beautiful mix of theology and politics resulting in a historic display of resistance.

What? You mean some people do not want to be a fat fucking ignorant American capitalist xtian? Surely you jest.

two points:

1) H.L. Mencken said that according to a US government report the average American never grew beyond the intellect of a 12 year old.

2) Someone once said that arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics; even if you win you're still retarded.

Discuss.

..and I was beating them since I was 17....under much harsher and more dangerous conditions...
I for one, LOVE this exercize in futility!
It's been a while
;-))))

Pleased to meet you.

Snob? I am a short pale pudgy tattoo'd geek, you would never be able to tell the horror that lurks beneath. I am not a snob, a snob would ignore you stupid bastards.

How is this an exercise in futility if I get what I want from it?

I am not here to win hearts and minds. If I wanted friends I would go to YNOT and drink virtual coffee.

yes, and Serge always gets what Serge wants

9/11 couldn't happen at the best possible time..wake up call during the strong President...who showed the world,
next time thing like that is going to happen on the American soil,
the middle east will be turned into the radio active desert.

stopped the fuckers, didn't it?

what about LONELY snob?
;-))))

this si exercize in futility because your mind is in the tank...NOTHING but the trip abroad and learning the life can penetrate it.
you know that you can't change the views of the world, I know nobody can change your views, and how would YOU call it?

I beleive that "exercize in futility" sounds better than "impression sale"
;-))))

eatapeach, wrong...
I make money of this thread,
let it be
;-)))

you don't keep up with current events i see.

ask the british consulate or HSBC Bank just how "stopped" the terrorists are.

I will always react to America Bashing and Flag Burning

I firmly believe in America, as a great nation we are not without challenges. Any situation can be improved

As I have stated it is much easier to point the finger than work to correct the challenges

It is the weak who only complain and do nothing to improve the situation, causes and conditions of which they complain

and my reaction to [Labret] avatar is what started this (somewhat) interesting conversation

I don't consider myself a flag waving knee jerk, I am a patriotic American

Very grateful for the opportunities being an American affords. Also I am extremely grateful to all those who have gone before to enable these liberties and opportunities I enjoy

This is what you folks did all Sunday and now onto today?

:zzz:

Use a nuke on whom exactly? Nuking the middle east for the actions of some Queda affiliates based out of Malaysia (or wherever) makes as much sense as nuking Ohio.

HEY HEY!! wait one fucking minute there
I live in oHIo
and I can honestly say on most days that isn't a bad idea heh heh

incorrect....psychological effect and NEW political realities after the fact is what keeps American soil from terrorists...plus...Malaysia is equal distance for balistic missile

I am from Detroit, I like Ohio, just the first thing that popped into my head. Ohio is a beautiful state. I have yet to make it to your Amish country.

But without us "stupid bastards", who would you have to look down on?

Nah - you're a snob. The fact that your snobbery is based on your alleged achievements in the artifical world of academia, instead of over the car you drive or the neighborhood you live in, is a technicality.

Yeah, pig shit and cow patties. oHIo the beautiful. Is one of the many reasons why I am moving to Florida on Thursday. I will miss some things about rural hell, but I think I will be well compensated for it in FL

As a student of sociology your response here baffles me.
It is not simply the physical presence of your parents that prevent feelings of abandonment, but also emotional attachment.
Your father could be attending to all of his responsibilities and duties as a father and husband, but still leave you feeling as if he doesn't care a thing about you.
Your mother could stay home and care for you night and day, making sure you have food to eat and clean clothes to wear, but still make you feel as if you're unwanted.

Just because your parents are still together and you see them often doesn't mean that there is no chance of abandonment issues. Actually, your views of marriage and family speak loudly of your unhappiness with your childhood and deep-seated issues of abandonment and neglect.

The only nuke going off will hopefully be a dirty one in the Mall of America around xmas time.

I am surprised you actually think the United States would use tactical nukes. Perhaps if they found out Iran was harboring Bin Laden and found at the nuke came from them and they had more on the way. I just dont see it happening. Bush is an idiot, but I fail to believe after the failure in Afghanistan and Iraq that he would be so haphazard. Esp before an election.

I am not a psychologist. I deal with culture. Perhaps if my area was more of juvenile delinquency I would understand abandonment as some sort of predictor of deviant social behavior, and then it would fall into my area. But as it sits now my emphasis is in popular culture.

i disagreed with so many of your points in that single post i just chose one that could be responded to in a very short couple of sentences.

unlike you i don't get paid to argue, so i'll just exit the conversation now and leave you and your buddies to crank up the impression count.
