I guess that my post didn't come of as sarcastic and tongue and cheeck as I wanted to. In all seriousness, I prefer posts that attack me. They are more fun to respond to. Political discussions are no fun unless people are passionate about what they are talking about and sometimes take things personally. I only post to this board, because I like the fact that here, people have to back up their statements and are not allowed to get away with lazy and illogical arguments. |

To be fair, you haven't been posting here long. Soon you'll understand better that lazy and illogical is critical to this board's survival.

You are (or your persona here is) too pedantically arrogantly serious to carry off tongue in cheek. Which should have been hyphenated in your sentence, btw, fwiw, iykwim.

To throw in my alleged drug use at this point of the conversation is a lazy ad hominim tactic.

When I graduated law school, I opened my own office, and handled whoever walked in. I will attest that the "little people" are a whole fucking lot dumber than you think. |

If we can get them all into sex-segregated debtor's prison, working off their debt at prison (sub-minimum) wages, they probably won't breed and eventually may die out.
I'm not sure who will wash club's car under this scenario, though. |

We can agree on this. People are fucking stupid. Which always drives me nuts when people bring up Adam Smith, self-interest and rational decision-making. Wonderful concepts, but the majority of people have no idea why they make certain decisions.

Um, so just what did you "do" for him, anyway? Procurement? Bagman?

Comments are all well and good for some purposes, but I have yet to see a blog with comments that in any way approach the discussion on this board. And the bigger the blog, the more useless they seem to be.
eta: It occurs to me that when I cross-post, as I've been doing, I should put a comment up over there directing people to the post and ensuing discussion here. I have gotten comments over there that don't seem to come from people on this board.
