No. He's just apparently tired of talking, but loves to post anyhow, so he gets enjoyment out of being a flaming asshole.

if my answers scare you, perhaps you should stop asking questions. I'm here to open eyes, before it's too late.

I remember singing , I must have been 7 or 8,

• Gentleman songsters off on a spree
  Damned from here to eternity
  God have mercy on such as we
  Baa! Baa! Baa!

when my mom said "Hanka, little fellow, looka at the rosters, year after year, the Whieenpoofs no let ina any I- talians!"

I turned crimson that day in more ways than one.

Your school's football cheers were the inspiration for Nazi propaganda:

According to Tom Reiss's biography of the Nazi-era author Esad Bey ("The Orientalist"), it was a Harvard alumnus, Ernst "Putzi" Hanfstaengl, who, when working as Hitler's press flack during his 1932 election campaign, taught Hitler the Harvard football song, which became the inspiration for the Nazis' "Seig Heil!" chant. On p. 263 of The Orientalist, Reiss quotes from Hanfstaengl's memoir:

• "I started playing some of the football marches I had picked up at Harvard. I explained to Hitler all the business about cheerleaders and marches, counter-marches and deliberate whipping up of hysterical enthusiasm. I told him about the thousands of spectators being made to roar "Harvard, Harvard, Harvard, rah, rah, rah!" in unison and of the hypnotic effect of this sort of thing. I played him some of the Sousa marches and then my own Falarah [Putzi's contribution to the Harvard cheerleading repertoire], to show how it could be done by adapting German tunes, and gave them all that buoyant beat so characteristic of American brass-band music. I had Hitler fairly shoulding with enthusiasm. "That is it, Hanfstaengl, that is what we need for the movement, marvelous," and he pranced up and down the room like a drum majorette. After that he had the S.A. band practicing the same thing. [...] Rah, rah, rah! became Sieg Heil, Sieg Heil, Sieg Heil! but that is the origin of it and I suppose I must take my share of the blame."

I feel I should tie this together with a wiiticism, but I cannot rise to the occasion.

It gets worse -- apparently he got the idea for the Holocaust after watching Love Story. Never having to say you're sorry, indeed.

Heh.

I could be wrong, but I really don't think you have much to teach me on those subjects.

I heard he ordered Mengele to come up with some experiment that could be described using the words "penny" and "packer" as a tribute to ole Fritzie. on the positive side, Preparation H was developed after some of that work.

even Ty says that. a good toady follows his master's voice better than you're doing.

Had I realized that you wanted so badly to argue with Ty instead of respond to me, I'd have chosen something easier, such that you wouldn't have needed to make such a logical leap here. Next time, perhaps.

you know there is a difference between reading 100 sources, and reading 1 source 100 times, or don't you?

i don't argue with anyone here. none of you are good at it, you're all arrogane and ignorant, and you seem to lack the most basic understanding of what is opinion and what is fact. The only exceptions seem to be atticus and rt*, but they don't argue so much.



*and wonk, I know I shouldn't list because then i forget people

You paint "us" with far too broad a brush.

You do in your own way, but you prefer not to engage on substance.

To the contrary, Hank, I win about 8 times in 10 when I'm being paid for it.

Pot? And as near as i can tell, I'm as well-informed as anyone on this Board.

Cite as to me?

For example, my opinion is that you frequently post like a complete jackass wasting electrons. I recognize that this may not be correct, and that in fact you may not be a complete jackass regardless of whatever you post here.

You stopped trying to talk to people a long time ago.

yet you have so much free time, one would think the market would keep you busier.

wasting electrons.

I invented saying this, and you don't even realize your attack is actually homage.

no shit. but at least I realize I'm useless.

Don't feel bad, Hank. We think less of your efforts these days, but we still love you.
