Harry, couldn't last two minutes in a political newsgroup before he had
his ass handed to him on a platter.
How little you really know, but I'm not telling.
We all know that you are afraid to debate the issues and this keeps you
out of the forums where you will be quickly labeled as a mental midget.
Debate "the issues"? With who? You, Herring, NOYB, Hertvik? Who? There
isn't one of you with a modicum of debate skills. None of you even
understand the simplest rules of debate.
That's right we don't immediately start off with personal attacks!

Harry has a gun to defend him self and it will shoot clean through
the 10 or
12 people he hopes are lining up at his front door to kick his ass.

Actually, Bert, I think I saw more action with my pickup truck in
Florida than you ever saw as a weekend, weak-kneed warrior.
True, I have never crushed a burglar's legs with my truck.
Action is action.
Tell us about your best felony arrest, Bert.
What? None?
I don't hang out with people that commit felonies.

Well, tell us about your best misdemeanor arrest, Bert.
What? None?
I don't hang out with people that get arrested for committing misdemeanor's.
We might get a speeding ticket every once in a while but, nothing that
involves wearing metal bracelets.


D'oh.

Since we've been talking about firearms, I thought you'd get the
reference to the "Dirty Harry" movie in which such questions were asked.
No cultural literacy either?

LOL!

'Dirty Harry' = cultural literacy

Perhaps you don't understand the term.
From Wikipedia:

Cultural literacy is the ability to converse fluently in the idioms,
allusions and informal content which creates and constitutes a dominant
culture. From being familiar with street signs to knowing historical
reference to understanding the most recent slang, literacy demands
interaction with the culture and reflection of it. A knowledge of a
canonical set of literature is not valuable when engaging with others in
a society if the knowledge stops at the end of the text -- as life is
interwoven with art, expression, history and experience, cultural
literacy requires the broad range of trivia and the use of that trivia
in the creation of a communal language and a "groupthink." Cultural
literacy or the "Core Knowledge" movement stresses the knowledge of
those pieces of information which content creators will assume the
audience already possesses.


Knowing a few lines from the "Dirty Harry" movies is part of being
culturally literate.

Now, what were you drooling about?

You're obviously correct, Harry. I've noticed that I have a hard time conversing with folks due to
my failure to memorize the lines in "Dirty Harry".
