ustwo: please.
in general i am not interested in arguing with you at an ad hominem level.
but for this, i'll take a little time.
remember this is about what i read from you, not you as a human being--as a human being, i know nothing about you apart from the curious factoids you occaisionally offer up to explain to us the basis for your superiority in things political.

when i bother to respond directly to your posts--which are consistent in a kind of tedious way--- i simply take you at your word and unpack such thinking as i can imagine possible behind them.

i figure that i am giving you benefit of the doubt in assuming there is much thought in what you write, frankly. i mean your own thought--your posts usually read like a pastiche of conservative commentaries.

so when i respond directly to your posts, ustwo, i usually walk through such logic as there is in them.
sorry if you dont like the results: the logic is usually yours--all i do is provide a gloss on it.
if you really dont like how i recast to your posts, maybe think them out more before you post them.

take for example, your comments about "socialism"--about which you clearly know nothing--or about people who oppose you "vandalizing society"--your assumption that if everyone was just like you--that is "grown up"----that they would see the world as you do--that, ustwo, is arrogance.
it is not arrogance to attack such a position.

what i see in your reactions is yet another conservative trope:
when you cannot control the terms of debate, and so cannot win an argument (the two are closely tied together in conservativeland--even you should recognize this) you decide that you are being victimized.

and on that one, i dont know what to tell you.


back out of this mode of argument.
it really doesnt interest me.
