Insecurity? Just the sort of guy I want in charge of an arsenal of nuclear
weapons.


Insecurity in public speaking. That's what I said, and you know that. Why
do you deliberately try to alter the frame of discussion? Do you and Harry
come from the same family? Same schools? Same background? Whatever. You
both refuse to stay on track. You alter the clear meaning of posted
statements to make petty points; you insist on using puerile, insulting
terms to refer to the President, and continuously to other posters. These
are Jr. High school tactics. I can't talk to you anymore -- there are
enough adults in this world demanding my attention. Perhaps JohnH can pick
it up. He's accustomed to dealing with pre-teen tactics.

I have been trying hard to treat Doug as an adult. Harry is beyond hope. He is
now engaging in another adolescent behavior - making up his own vocabulary and
try to inculcate same into discussions.

It's difficult, and I'll probably give up soon.

If I'm afraid to drive over 40mph, would you hire me to fly a private jet?

If I fall apart speaking in front of a 3rd grade classroom, would you hire
me to a public relations guy for your company, to speak to Wall Street
representatives at your stockholder meetings?

Believe it or not, you can extrapolate from one disability and predict a
person's performance in certain situations.

Having done both, I can tell you one has nothing to do with the other.

I don't believe this happened -- you are once more mis-stating a
circumstance.

What disability is it that makes you call people insulting names?

I am done.

There's enough been written about Bush to give all of us feelings of
insecurity. The guy is a simple-minded doofus.

endless and dangerous shortcomings of Bush?

A few of his published verbal disastes took place in classrooms. Look them
up - there are plenty of web sites which post these things.

Which insulting name are you referring to? Are you referring to Nookular
Boy?

Didn't you say earlier that you were tired of this? You came back, like the
sole bluegill that returns 183 times in an hour for the same nightcrawler.

I didn't think it was possible for someone to be dumber than Basskisser,


but

Don has done it.

Be careful not to take anything of his, because the law requires him to


shot

you in the face.



Most children learn the difference between *shoot* and *shot* when they

are
about 8 years old.
What's your excuse?



Most of the righties here have low-level language skills. It's part of
being a card-carrying RepubliBORG.


sigh
It's not a matter of right or left.
It's a matter of *belonging*.
Many people today find it stylish to *belong* to one group or another,
because they have no self esteem.
They realize they are worthless and cling deperately to any kind of identity
that will offer them some semblence of emotional support.
They have no sense of self identity, no self worth.

You've been reading too many socialist newspapers.
Life is boring if you make it so, it has nothing to do with anyone else.

Why in the hell do you want anyone in charge of that stuff?
