Have you noticed that nobody else in this newsgroup routinely posts
long, cut and paste commentaries on politics like you do? Some
express
personal opinions and preferences from time to time but that's
about it.

What are you trying to prove?

Lack of imagination?



Lack of interest in golf, RV'ing, other peoples' grandkids, spicy
recipes, rec.boats posts from 1998 about defunct boat companies, et
cetera.

Non responsive brain fart.

Can't that over hyped education of yours support actually writing any
original opinion pieces? Richard was pointing out that you just quote
articles, you never have an original thought.
You dodged that question.

It does make me wonder if you would have graduated if your professors
had the ability to google your papers to see how much was simply cut
and pasted.



Hehehe.

I've stated many times that the poisonous right-wing atmosphere in
rec.boats makes writing and posting "original" opinion pieces here a
waste of my time and effort. When the righties here start behaving
decently towards everyone, I'll consider it.

I did quite well in my English Lit and Sociology majors, based upon my
ability to write, my ability to research (before Google) and my
understanding of the mechanics of producing college level papers.
Certainly I "quoted" sources, because you were supposed to integrate the
works of others into your papers, and give those others credit for their
"contributions." You were supposed to add your points or knowledge or
findings to all that had gone before. I knew this because in the 10
grade at my high school, I was lucky enough to be in the AP English
class of one Emma Ruff, unquestionably the best teacher I've ever
encountered, and she taught us how to do well in college liberal arts
courses, which involve a lot of writing.

I lucked out my first semester with placement in "Advanced English
Composition." The associate professor wanted us to demonstrate we
understood the "how" of writing, so he went to the blackboard and asked
each of us to dictate the "completion" of a sentence fragment he
scrawled there...a different sentence fragment for each of the 12 class
members. Everyone else came up with sentences that ran maybe 100 words.
Mine, properly punctuated from beginning to end, ran 997 words and
covered three blackboards.

Nowadays, most of my "for fun" writing appears on Facebook.



I've read some of it. Pretty much the same stuff you post here Harry.

He has contributed comments, mostly on the Daily Kos Facebook page.

five'ing each other.

It is true that CNBC, which is supposed to be a business channel, did
not ask that many economic questions.
It is also true that none of these press conferences can be called
debates because there is very little actual interchange between the
candidates.

I asked before and didn't really get an answer from you. Are the
democrats going to let Fox moderate one of their debates?
Your brain fart was along the lines of "if the GOP can't deal with
NBC, how will they deal with Putin". I could say the same thing about
the Democrats and Mygan Kelly or Hannity


Why should the Dems bother with Fox or its audience? There's nothing to
gain.


Rachael Maddow is going to host a Democrat only candidate "forum" on her
show.

This should really be interesting.

So you admit these debate "moderators" are biased?



There was a long lasting discussion about the media on "Morning Joe"
this morning.

Joe pointed out that other than Fox, the majority, if not all, of both
cable TV and broadcast network TV talk shows are hosted by people of the
liberal persuasion. The result is it's almost impossible to select
a debate moderator who can truly claim to be non-partisan. I think the
debates thus far, especially the CNBC one, clearly demonstrates that.

Here's another quick example of news manipulation by the liberal media:

Chris Christie was called out the other day for yapping away on his cell
phone in the "quiet car" of the train. Virtually all the media outlets
made hay with this insinuating that he is nothing but a big mouthed,
arrogant bully type.

Turns out, the reported accounts weren't exactly accurate. Christie
boarded late, didn't realize he was in the "quiet car" and, when it
was brought to his attention, he quickly left the car.
He was polite and apologetic of his mistake.

Harry, you should give yourself a pat on the back once in a while.

And what difference does it make? The only people that would watch that show are closed-minded liberals who would only consider a liberal candidate anyway. Most politically-minded folks are like rabid sports fans when it comes to politics... they've chosen their "team" (D or R), and root for them incessantly mo matter how bad they are. We have a prime example right here in this NG, in cased no one has noticed.

But posts about your generator, your deck, your guns, your cats, your critters, your

As long as it's all about him, the topic is very much OK.

I'm surprised you didn't issue an order or directive to Greg to cease and desist......oh yeah, he's not one of your Moppetts.
