Re: eris: crumedgeons, antisemites, racist, etc.

I am simply arguing against the assumptions about it which stem from mindless absorption of propaganda.

Studying to be a lawyer are you?
--------------------
Nope. I am in my chosen career.

And, thusly, Neuro's short-term love affair with the newbie, Eris, was ended. <VBG>

Gee, Eris, and I bet you thought your logic was playing with him for awhile, eh? Don't you get it? Watch:

Hey Neuro, come taste my "Life." I bet you'll like it!

Not to worry, Eris, he hates everything. <G>

Neuro:Studying to be a lawyer are you?

Eris: Nope. I am in my chosen career.

Have you met WEAC? You and he have something in common.
He doesn't understand satire either.

So... how long have you been working with computers?

You are assuming that I am not extremely obese and hideously ugly.

Hmmmmm. I thought Dennis said that he told you the rules about this board. Rule neumero neuro around here is NO FAT CHICKS.

(psssst, the use of that famous bumper sticker was an example of satire)

And that didn't address what I said

That's because what you said had nothing to do with what I've been trying to impress upon you about human nature. You keep droning on and on about meaningless attitudes as if they alone mark great changes in humankind. That's like saying that placing a napkin in your lap as opposed to stuffing it in your shirt collar in and of itself could bring about world peace.

Ridiculous.

Neuro: Re-read my post then.

eris: Reread at least one of mine.

Well, you re-read mine to infinity and beyond then!

<I really told her off there, didn't I?>

I've only said that I think our society will *one Day* evolve - as in 5 or 6 centuries from now

You are probably mistaken on that point as well. More than likely by that time it will have devolved. Such is the nature of many once-great civilizations.

All I am interested in are informed opinions.

Nonsense. You are interested in providing "informed" opinions. That's one of the reasons you became frustrated with Indy and complained (in the subject line of a thread) that nobody was listening to you.

My positions have not changed slightly when one is threatened

Really? Then why did you say this in one post:

Communism is not a political system. It is an economic system.{/i]

Then, in another, this:

I won't be dragged into defending the merits of communism (as you pointed out, it is essentially synonymous with socialism)

So tell me, did we suddenly just jump into a parallel universe where the definition of Communism is now different or did you decide that my view of Communism was, in fact, more correct than yours? Personally, I thought that the subject was still open for debate. But, then again, you don't want to be "dragged into defending the merits of communism", do you?

Then I also earned a nice chest and pretty eyes, and I should start expecting special consideration for it. Thanks for cluing me in.

Well, aside from helping prove my point about human nature my advice to you is that if you can market them, go for it. But remember, it's not your ta-ta's that earn the bucks it's your ability to market them.

In this new case, however, you claimed that I am pro-revolutionary, which I continually deny and you continually ignore.

You don't pay attention at all do you? I don't claim that you are a revolutionary, just that in order to implement your beloved Communism in this country would require one. A fact which you have YET to refute.

More to come....

Re: eris: how you classify yourself

Since this part of the post was so way off point I felt it necessary to branch the thread to avoid the confusion. Besides, I dislike threads whose posts become so long and rambling that it takes half the night just trying to figure out what the other fool was trying to say. With that said:

1) You don't know my feelings on the origin and meaning of spirituality, so you are rash to call me foolish for them.

Nonsense. You said you were an atheist. Do you know what an atheist actually is?

I do not believe in an external anthropomorphic deity though.

An atheist is more than that actually. An atheist denies the existence of God. Simply not believing isn't enough for a true atheist.

You know, the religious right shares a mantra with you as well.

What "mantra" would that be?

2) I never said I hate people for belonging to a particular political party.

A lie. Here's what you said verbatim:

Well, technically I'm an atheist leftist (and despise Republicans)

Is there another definition for the word "despise" that I am unfamiliar with? Are Republicans not, by deviation, members of a political party?

I am pro-choice and pro-social security; and pro-separation-of-church-and-state.

Your leftist credentials would cause one to assume this. You are right only on the church-and-state issue. The others are moral and social failures.

) You just used the same word I used, right before you criticized me for it!

So, I see that you're beginning to understand satire after all. It comes in many forms, some more subtle than others.

Like I said, Dennis likes them liberal... not stupid.
