When we were both 16, a good friend of mine (hi, Charlie!) developed the "sho is" theory of history.
He spent the summer on a family farm in Texas. This was back before integration.
The black people who worked on the farm were illiterate, and uneducated, but that did not keep them from having opinions about all the major events of the day.
The important thing was not the factual basis for the opinions, but whether there was a consensus.
Thus, if one of them said to the other, "the moon landing was a hoax," and the other one said, "sho is," it was a true fact, no matter what.
It always surprises me to see such defects of reason in people I assume to be better educated, but such is life. The net is full of whack jobs, and a lot of them seem to have taken up residence on this thread.
JohnM is not only as liberal as they come, he is also a great supporter of Israel in specific, and Jews in general.
The people who would accuse him of wishing the demise of Israel and Jews are thus not only full of excreta, but odious and beneath contempt.
Getting back to my original point, they are also ignorant, but unlike poor blacks in Jim Crow Louisiana, you have no excuse.
You claim to be educated, but you have no learning nor understanding. |
