I was not addressed at you, just a general turn of phrase turning on your comment. I don't even know who the Dick you referred to was. So it was no reflection on him at all. Not meant personally. Sorry if you took it that way. It has been a while since I have participated in threads that have no subject matter relating to the market. This is so due to a self imposed discipline and with good reason. From time to time, I lurk in some of these threads because I find some of the comments do make me smile, particularly Fridays after market hours, as there is no research to be done immediately for the next day. The post that started this, certainly was NOT one of them, but even then, I was not going to be bothered as, quite frankly, you are just another idiot from this Circus of the Absurd. Then I read the post I am responding to. You are a hypocrite and a liar. As Sherry says, it needs to be said so. Why ? Quite simply because if you think that either Sherry or us readers are so stupid for you to write such BS and believe WE are going to buy your "excuse"... OR, you did not "mean it"... Well, not so you imbecile, not so. I envision two scenarios, where you would fit perfectly... The first, I can imagine your type in a real party making such a comment to a lady in front of several other people, thinking you are so "cool" in your "humor" (as expressed and understood by you , that is). I suppose a low life like you would easily think so. No surprises there. Most probably, the ensuing silence would give you a "hint" that such "humor" is not acceptable in a place where you are clearly, out of your element... Then, I can also envision by your response above, that you would follow the all too clear disapproval of the "silent" response with a typical down-syndrome-looking smile bopping your head up and down, proudly displaying the origins of your inbred nature, without having a clue of either what you did, nor what response you obtained. Dumb and dumber in full display. The second possible scenario, is better described by better minds than mine who have expressed similar ideas in more accurate terms, and so, I leave you this for your enlightenment. Evidently, you must be one of these examples that "sprang" from the unions herein described: _____ "In other societies characterized by class distinctions... it is common for the lower class to be improved by extra-legal crosses. That is to say, the men of the upper class take women of the lower classes as mistresses, and out of such unions spring the extraordinary plebians who rise sharply from the common level, and so propagate the delusion that all other plebians would do the same if they had the chance - in brief, the delusion that class distinctions are merely economic and conventional, and not congenital and genuine..." ~ H.L. Mencken ____________ And that makes a big assumption that you have actually risen, but that is quite irrelevant as the point is, you are still a plebian. i.e. a low class, and if you did not "get it", a bastard. p.s. of course, it is not meant "personally nor aimed at you", you know, and if you take it personally, not only I am not sorry, in fact, I don't give a sh*t if you do arsehole. __________________ do not bother answering to me, I have no interest in your opinion or excuses, so f* off.
