Cool, my precious. 4 posts from you today, 3 ranting about personal attacks, each of which would, conventionally, seem to be personal attacks themselves. And not a word I could detect about the putative topic of this thread. You have been complaining about what the conservatives are doing in this country for several years now. It is understood as a premise to your posts that the conservatives have constructed an establishment that you find distasteful. The problem is you bring nothing to the table, which simply displays as childish ungrateful rebellion. What basis can you present for establishing a different system that has substance and value? If it is a better one I will vote for it. Put up or shut up. Thanks. A hat tip_t_ya. You are mistaken, as your last post reveals. You were called on name calling and that is where substantive discussion stopped. You responded defensively with no contribution to topical discussion in the process. I have seen threads deteriorate into zero topical discussion over this issue that lasted for days and even until the otherwise interesting thread participants left permanently. I am sure you have witnessed the same. That is the natural consequence of taking the low road among decent folk. It does not win discussions, it ends them inconclusively. After years of witnessing NOTHING of substance coming from you, SI participants have all come to expect NOTHING from you. That being the case, if you EVER contributed ANYTHING, it would be viewed as a TREMENDOUS event against the backdrop of your usual NOTHING. Pearls??? from you ^^ wow dude, that just aint gonna happen...lol And uh who is this "Us" you are claiming to be a member of. I doubt you could find confirmation on that. Rant on, my precious. Your lectures sort of remind me of W's posturing on "personal responsibility".
