[quote name='MrFriday18']Mykevermin, you do not know me, so to make such a false statement is outrageous.[/quote]
*sigh* alright, here goes. It is correct because *here* you aren't known for being very bright or very old. You may not be seen that way by everybody, but that isn't what I said. I'm not known for being sober at my bar, but that doesn't mean I'm never sober. Your breathless and incoherent babbling are crystal clear evidence that reinforce the very point I made several posts ago.
[quote name='MrFriday18']Yes, I am 16 years old, do I care about spelling and grammar on an online message board no.[/quote]
I wasn't the one who chastised your spelling or grammar. I said you weren't very bright, and that was an indication of your incapacity of debating politically at an adult level. It's not meant to be offensive, precisely because you aren't an adult. I don't expect you, as someone who embraces conservative ideology, to be able to cite Adam Smith at will to reinforce your points. On the other hand, if you want to claim to be intellectually capable, you ought to produce more posts that don't immediately refute that claim.
[quote name='MrFriday18']Why would I care about spelling and grammar, I am not here to impress anyone on these message boards.[/quote]
Well, you sure are getting upset about failing to impress people.
[quote name='MrFriday18']The only place I care about spelling and grammar is when I am in school or when I engage in an adult conversation.[/quote]
The latter is, as you claim, what you are trying to do here. Please be consistent in the future.
[quote name='MrFriday18']Mykevermin, since I am not so bright maybe my 3.7 GPA is lying about my intelligence.[/quote]
Well, I'm a quantoid, so I respect numbers. Are we talking out of 4 or 5 here? On the other hand, high school courses serve as college prep. Critical thinking skills are, lamentably, not taught until your third year of college or so. It's a shame, really, because anything prior to that is, as far as aptitude is concerned, merely a marker of your recitation ability, and not indicative of any deeper cognitive skills.
[quote name='MrFriday18']I'm not saying that a 3.7 GPA is amazing but it's better then most.[/quote]
Okay. You win a twizzlers bar.
[quote name='MrFriday18']I suppose with my small dumb witted intelligence I can get into Honors classes in High School, (Honors US History 2, Honors Constitutional Law, and Honors Physics).[/quote]
I thought you weren't here to impress people? Why do you feel the need to give me your academic resume? Those are impressive classes, and indicative of excellent work in your freshman or sophomore year. Not to slight your academic work, but I see nothing here, not in your conversation, that indicates you deserve any attention whatsoever. Your first post here was nothing more than an overgeneralization of how conservatives are looked upon in the vs forum. I pointed out that there are several who often make cogent points and arguments, and then there are those who engage of pedantics, hyperbole, and blatant falsehoods. You, I am afraid, have shown no indication of being part of the former cohort, and every indication of being part of the latter. Again, no offense, you've years ahead of you to learn.
Hell, if you're so smart, perhaps you can put together a treatise refuting Karl Marx's criticisms of capitalism (in Das Kapitale), given that most conservatives like to falsely refute him by pointing to multiple real-world examples of communist failure (in the meantime, of course, failing to recall that Marx did not specify any kind of political system as Marxism, and the critics of his also erroneously gloss over all of his criticisms of the inequality inherent in capitalist relationships). So, if you've the time, there's a task for you.
[quote name='MrFriday18']Also, you bring to notice my relatively young age, yea I am 16 years old. mykevermin what are you possibly in your 20’s-30’s?[/quote]
Yes. 26 to be precise.
[quote name='MrFriday18']In my opinion, age sure doesn’t bring along a strong intellect because you’re a prime example of that.[/quote]
I can assure you that, if you want to play the game of "my academic resume is an indication of my intelligence," you'd not win. I get paid to study for a reason.
[quote name='MrFriday18']I can’t wait to get flamed for this one, it just makes my day watching you insipid people bitch and moan all day about people you do not know.[/QUOTE]
Hmm. I merely said that you are young (which you admitted you) and that you aren't very bright, based upon your posts on this board (none of which refute that claim). You can extrapolate that all you want, but the fact remains is that your fervent response to my post was based on the realization that you have nothing to show me that says I was wrong in my characterization of you. And, prior to this post, "bitching and moaning" about you all day was one line in one post. You truly aren't that important, child.
ING SHIT! HONORS CLASSES!
