abstract, But wasn't Samuel L. Jackson phenomenal in that role? No one else could have pulled that off as well. jpg

"At the risk of being too honest, too often in the past you've sounded (to me) like Jules, in Pulp Fiction..." I see. You can't point to anything specific (even though there are more than 10k choices to select from), so you directly associate me to a wacko gangster who quotes the bible & blithely slaughters people. Quite revealing indeed. "I have difficulty with Jules' attitude. It doesn't seem that there is much room for another opinion." Again, you can't quote me specifically, so you impune my reputation again. You can't argue specifics or refute the credible information I use to from my opinions, so you attack me & impune my reputation instead.

"I tend to believe, that in most things, there is not one truth, but many shades and that I benefit from hearing the multiplicity." <font size=4> Ah, again, you can't refute the factual accuracy of the wide swath of information I gather to form my POV, you can't point to anything specific that supports your POV, so it's back to reliance on sweeping generalities that make great sound bites, yet, in reality, prove absolutely nothing.<font size=3> "Your batch of replies to my most recent post shows latitude and humility that I had not previously seen. I appreciate that." Actually, it takes latitude & humility to force oneself to look beyond one's own bias, to acknowledge one's bias & to force yourself to give consideration to POV's that differ from one's bias while forming/changing one's own POV or taking a firm stand against faulty POV's. BTW, this post tell it straight up...... Message 19524301

"What Seems True Easily Remains Aloof." Again with your consistent impugning the factually accurate information I've presented in our discussion with another sweeping generality. No doubt it makes you feel good & allows you to perceive that you have once again proved that you are right & I am wrong. Sorry, but all you have done is generally pooh-pooh'd a plethora of accurate information with hardly any specific rebuttals throughout this whole discussion. I'm quite unimpressed.
