[quote name='UncleBob']So, basically, you get to go on random websites and call your "friends"
uneducated morons behind their backs and it's all good... but when I point out that you're not all mighty and awesome, well, then I'm a "wise ass dick".
Look, I have no problem with anyone who makes type-os or other errors of grammar. My issue is with someone who thinks that they're above all others simply because they read a book or or two. You're not perfect and someone doesn't have to have an absolute history of the world in order to make and form intelligent opinions on a subject. It helps, of course, but it should be considered no more of a requirement than saying you should have to be fully educated on the finer points of the English language before you should be allowed to use it.
Otherwise, you're no better than some guy standing on the street corner holding a sign that says "Get a brain, morans."
How many people have bothered to find out this guy's story before making fun of him? Perhaps he's a super-genius with a perfect understanding of history, politics and the social workings of society that simply doesn't 'get' English.[/QUOTE]
No, I gladly tell them to their face. Its part of why I dont keep friends, because I have very high standards. And man I knew your political logic was
ed up, but apparently its extended to other areas as well. How does me saying something about my friends make me a wise ass dick or make me mighty and awesome? I never said I was. Again your projecting feelings and thoughts on to me because you dislike my politics.
As for educating yourself I am sorry but it is a preq to having a wise opinion. I do not expect people to have some massive knowledge base of politics or history to have an opinion. But whenever people make all of their opinions out of ignorance they deserve to be called on their shit and they deserve to be called a moron. I am sorry but politics and the decisions that effect our nation are very complicated, so whenever I have someone like my mother in law that sits around texting all day and reading celebrity gossip mags telling me what needs to be done to lower gas prices I do not want to
ing hear it. Nor do I want to hear my father explain to me how his state is in deficit because of unions when he spends his day drinking, smoking pot and playing with his dog.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion but those that are knowledgeable are entitled to call those who are not morons and tell them to shut the hell up when they are talking about things the rest of us cant even begin to comprehend. I would have no problem with an architect telling me to shut up if I was trying to give him suggestions on how to keep his bridge from bowing and I gladly listen to scientists when they talk about things like global warming or evolution because they are 15,000x smarter then I will ever be. But hey, I guess that is the difference between me and you and frankly most people in general. I recognize when someone is my better and I deffer to their opinion. Yes I may gather many sources and put all the information together then make a choice about who to believe...but I still ultimately recognize my own limits and others brilliance. You on the other hand have proven time and time again you can not handle anyone or hell even any fact that challenges your narrow conservative world view.
Thats why you are picking a fight right now, because my friends believe as you do so they MUST be defended. I would love to see you call someone like broly or Ram on something they say...but you cant do it because you all must follow the same narrow line.
Edit - BTW note again the way that you always respond to just part of peoples posts. You never deal with the entire response or even the context of their response in general. Instead you pick out one or two little snippets that you view as a weak argument or particularly outside your world view and then attack that. Its a rather lame and frankly immature way to have a discussion(using that word because saying you debate is being generous).
