I think that is what the OP was going for. nope. what i said was that you're too stupid to understand how it's measured and so is he ---------------------------------------------------------- I am "stupid" because I posed a legitimate question? no. you're stupid because you expect the metrology to change so that bush looks better and the black president looks worse Not counting those who have given up looking, even though employable, is dishonest and totally misleading to the public maybe so. but obama didnt change the method of measurement. Well, I think there are stupid people here, along with racist/fascist ones. But, I don't think Eisboch is one, at least I don't see any direct evidence of it. He's certainly nowhere near the level of crazy/stupid of some (that sounds like I'm saying he is crazy/stupid on some level, but I couldn't figure out how to phrase it properly). :-) I believe there are rational people on the right (not on the far right, however, or even the extreme left - like Earth Firsters who are off the deep end). A conversation/debate is possible in that situation. As long as both sides recognize that there are facts and made up facts, then it's possible. The extremes on both sides tend to promote or invoke violence or hatred to "prove" something or to "solve" something. That's just wrong in a civil society. I'm not equating the two extremes. The right is far more likely to do nasty things, but there is a left element that exists. To deny that would be irrational. It's pretty easy to make a factual error. Maddow's recent one about Limbaugh. The issue is whether or not one is willing to be corrected and to admit the error. It's hard to argue that Maddow doesn't have a left-leaning agenda, but it's also impossible for a rational person to think that Limbaugh has anything but his own self-interest in mind, and he's willing to lie and/or distort the truth to support himself. He would never admit a factual error. Sorry for the rant.  |
