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.



Hmmm. I didn't notice your "handle" or username in any of the several
groups in which I post.

He said 'read some of it'. He said nothing about posting in them. Perhaps he has more
sense, eh Krause?

If it's an "open" group, you don't have to join in order to read the
posts. I read a lot of stuff. Helps promote an open mind to things
hopefully.

You are the one who said the democrats were willing to write off

Bear in mind Fox has far better ratings than MSNBC among people who
actually watch news on TV.
I will admit most Democrats get their news from Larry Wilmore and
Jimmy Fallon, Then they call everyone else a "low information voter"




No. I said there was nothing to be gained. Oh, and McDonald's sells the
most burgers (higher ratings) but they are ****ty burgers.

So you watch fox...figures.

But posts about your generator, your deck, your guns, your cats, your critters, your
owls, your cameras, etc. are OK, eh?

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

Amen.

Too bad there's no real market for writers of long run-on sentences
and turgid prose. You might have become wealthy instead of a deadbeat

I've never before met someone who was so accomplished in his own mind
and so failed in the minds of others. Such grand delusiions should
surely not go unrewarded.
