If Gould was kidding than all I have to say is ............. " Nevermind!"

Gould does seem to have gotten on a high horse and has a real superiority
complex.
He is one of the most bigoted and close minded person I have meet in
rec.boats. If anyone does not see things his way, he likes to paint them as
evil.

No generalization is always correct, but I would think if you gave an IQ
test to those living below the poverty level, and then gave a IQ test to
those living in the top 10% of the US, you would find the average IQ is
substantially higher.

I would also guess if you took those whose income is in the top 25% and
compared their IQ with those living in the bottom 25%, you would see a
dramatic difference.

I do like the way when someone disagrees with you, you generalize that
they
do not have an open mind.

As far as your comment about tax dollars being diverted from inner city
schools to those who live in the rich neighborhoods, that has not been
around for 20yrs. The courts will not allow any school district to divert
money from one neighborhood to another. That fact that you think this is
still done, shows that you do live in the past.

As far as your comment about "herd mentality" it would appear that you do
not have an open mind, and just love to paint anyone who is different from
you with a broad brush and you fail to see the obvious. Most cities with
historic districts have more restrictive covenants (especially those in
the
strongly democratic states of New England) than any suburb covenants.
That
fact that you do not understand such a simple concept says more about your
herd mentality than anything I could say.

PS - I have moved from the suburbs to the city, the difference between you
and me, is I don't like to group anyone with my preconceived ideas. I
like
to look at people as individuals.


Hey, come on, he was just kidding!

Good lord, I'm an asshole. To slip any lower, I'd have to begin posting insults
and negative personal comments when I run out of points in a debate.

What's up with the structure of this sentence?

You're entitled to your opinion, and entitled to express it. If you can manage
to write on a more literate level, perhaps a greater number of people will find
your opinions credible.

Didn't you just say " To slip any lower, I'd have to begin posting insults

My, my my.

That seems to be Gould's new MO.

That is what happens when I get distracted in the middle of a sentence, and
then finish the sentence without rereading it.

Do you believe your opinions are more creditable than others?

To whom?

Be careful not to confuse credible with creditable. That which is credible is
worthy of belief or agreement. That which is creditable is worthy of applause.

For example: You state "Gould is the most
bigoted, closed-minded person I ever met",
(or attempted to state same), and whether or not anyone found your sentiment
credible, one of the usual high-fivers found it creditable.

I believe that insults and/or opinions conveyed by clumsy or careless language
are more than usually revealing. Insults always indicate more about the
insulter than his or her subject, but nothing beats a classic like, "I think
their is plenty of evidence that you is stupid."

My advice to you, or to anyone else who cares to express opinions about other
individuals, would be to frame those observations in complete sentences with
some attention to grammar and syntax.

It is so easy to sound juvenile when making negative personal comments. It
becomes more important to avoid a sloppy, careless, use of the language
that reinforces an impression that you'll have to get off line when Dad gets
home and catches you playing with his computer.

It looks like you realize you have lost the debate and now are resorting to
personal insults concerning my sentence structure and syntax. Gould, this
is not the New Yorker. This is Usenet and it is common for people to jot
off quick retorts and they will make typos and/or grammatical errors.

The fact still stands that you are extremely bigoted against those who have
different beliefs or values.

Your bigotry extends beyond beliefs and values. It extends to where someone
decides to live. If they live in the city, they are wonderful and
progressive. If they live in the suburbs they are just lily white
conformist. You seem to see everything in black or white. Gould, the world
is not as binary as you would like to believe.
