Re: Neuro Vs. da Rules

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

And you have something in common with just about every 'conservative' "wit" I've ever seen -- a 'delivery' like a burning sack of dog doody on the front porch on Halloween.

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

Yeah, and just be glad, Neuro, that the corollary to that rule is not NO FATHEADS, or you'd grow old stuffing chitosan in your ears.

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

Not to mention, lack of originality.

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.

Would you like someone to tell you where to stuff that napkin?

Then I also earned a nice chest and pretty eyes...

And a reeeeeel, purrty MOUTH, tew, don't fergit!!!

But remember, it's not your ta-ta's that earn the bucks it's your ability to market them.

What, you were Kitten Natividad's agent?

More to come....

YES, ERIS!!! BE AFRAID!! BE VERY AFRAID!!

crumedgeons, antisemites, racist, etc.

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.


I understand it. I was using it as backlash - yours is really bad.

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

Well, technically I don't 'work with computers'. My work utilizes computers as a tool, but would still be valid if all computers vanished (to elucidate my first sentance)

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)


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

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.


Hmm, maybe you are right. An increase in equality among people; and furthermore an increase in the *goal* of equality and freedom for all people probably is petty and has nothing to do with the development of harmony and cooperation in the future. I DO feel the same about my ability to live in the manner that I choose as I would about a napkin in my lap. Same thing. Amazing.


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.


It took you a very long time to post a counterpoint instead of just trying to put me down. Too bad, I could probably talk about this.

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.


And then he listened, and responded with something that added to my life. You are not adding anything to my life, and if the fact that you dislike me means I must leave then that's okay. I was discussing these things with other people already. It's too bad, because I already sortof liked some of the people here. DennisKy, although we disagreed about things, debated them without taking it to a personal level and it was fun. Meme as well. Oh well.

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.

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?


Do you have any idea what you are talking about? SOCIALISM is an economic system. How is it contradictory to say that communism is an economic system, and then that it is synomymous with socialism? Don't you have anything to actually *say*? Like maybe, inform me that the two are not synonymous, and the reasons why (or something...). Is there a subject on which you can truly contribute to the conversation instead of being static?

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.


It isn't my ta-ta's that earn me the bucks at all. It's the fact that I'm good at what I do. How has your point been proven? Oh wait - you had a viable point?

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.


I don't refute that because I've been agreeing with it - because comunism is not beloved to me, and I have not defended it. You keep assuming that I am a socialist, and I can't figure out why. I never said that, and I keep saying the opposite. But you say that I'm being egotistical when I say 'you aren't listening to anything'. You're about to get your wish and make me give up on visiting this board, but a few people have posted things which I did enjoy and wish we could discuss.
