Impressive credentials, Lucas. No wonder you're in awe of him. I just wonder how all this experience in the administration of justice qualifies him to be a writing teacher? Do share with us...has he published anything? Been paid for his writings?

What qualifies him? Hmmm, me thinks it is the tiny bit about being able to write correctly. Just maybe, that might be the qualifier, eh?

Hmm. 'former': (meaning he probably got fired) 'assistant': (yup, he was fired. most 'assistants' eventually either become the D.A. or start their own practice) D.A. from KLAMATH FALLS! (population: 40k. almost all white. 'nuff said.)

You're just making excuses. So what if it is almost all white?

And yet you continue on with several more paragraphs about them. You just proved my point, moron.

The only thing i did, was not put it in the order i meant. *shrugs* I messed up on that, i'll just have to remember next time.

It didnt seem like it.

Now, to the question. Just becase 'you' think that those who think Bush is worse than Bin Laden are idiots, doesn't mean they are. Some Joe-blow out in the US could easily say you are an idiot for believing the way you do. How can you stand by and just be, well, rude? Your ability to realize differences of opinions, and hold your tongue, out of respect, is little, or none.

Good day.

Nice trolling.

Yes it does. There is no intelligent comparison.

Well, we will (obviously) have to agree to disagree.

You are trying to defend these morons by saying it's just their differnce of opinion. My point is not to be rude, but to show how stupid people can be. I would bet most of these people who voted for Bush are young, and have no real world experience in their lives, and get their political information from Digg or the DU.

It *is* their opinion though. It has nothing to do with intellegence. 3 our of 4 of those polled could be above average, and/or (insanely) intelligent. They obviously have a different gauge for judging good and bad. They've made their decision, and have decided -according to their gauge- that Bush (for whatever reason), is worse than Saddam and Bin Laden. Why do they think that, i do not know.

I'm stating what I believe; I'm stating what it is, and it *is* their opinion. It couldn't be anything else, could it?

You don't sound really tolerant, to be blunt.

Okay, lets take a look at your comment there.

You claim that you would "bet most of these people who voted for Bush are young, and have no real world experience in their lives, and get their political information from Digg or the DU," so...do you apply that notion to most-if not all- liberals who happen to believe along those lines?

Your moral relativism is disgusting, Lucas. The sooner you realize that there IS such a thing as right and wrong, that absolutes DO exist in this world, that judgement is a necessary extension of intellect and self-preservation, the sooner you'll learn that ignorance is not 'just an opinion.'

I realize that, and unfortunately for you, it doesn't coincide with yours. Don't you get that through your head? Not everyone has the same standards, not everyone thinks the same. If you could ever understand that, it would be a freaking miracle.

I (suprisingly) agree with you on one thing, that ignorance is bad, and that willfull ignorance is worse.

All I am saying, is for once, can you at least attempt to understand, that there are other cultures in this world. That there are different opinions, etc...and, that not always, are people morons. Just because they formed their own opinion (even with the resources), doesn't make them morons. It means they have their opinion.

Tell me, are you a moron?

I respect your right to have an opinion, but that doesn't disqualify you for being calle doubt when, in my opinion, your opinion is both A) Ignorant, Intolerant.

Good day.

I saw the sidebar with your title for this blog a few days ago but didn't have time to check it out. I laughed and mentioned the title to the other three in the room with me at the time.

So I said, "Well since there's four of us here, that means one of us is a Moron. Which one?"

Funny no one wanted to claim the title.

But then again, we all voted for Bush.

i have no idea what the idiot ratio is overall, but based on the following verbatim segment from another conversation, 3 americans who aren't lucas bailey just gotta free pass:

lucas bailey: im drawing a blank on roe v. wade, erm....wasnt that on abortion?

not lucas bailey: jeez lucas...it was two options bush proposed for the residents of new orleans after katrina.

hu's on first in china?


lucas bailey: Actually, I was correct. It was concerning abortion.

Good day.

It's time to put your own handful of rocks down, Lucas, before you presume to chastise others for their own rock throwing. And since I've already provided one vocabulary lesson on this thread, allow me to edumacate you further. The words you quoted are not an adage, they were spoken by Christ and are included in the Gospels. An adage is defined as: A traditional saying expressing a common experience or observation; proverb. Have you ever been stoned, Lucas? If not, then you speak to no common experience by quoting the words of Christ. Even the book of Proverbs, contained in the OT, presents not the words of Christ, but the advice of sages. As a non-Christian myself, I think the advice is crap anyway. Should we allow murderers to walk free because none of us are fit (as in sin free) to judge them? If you want to quote scripture here, Lucas, you ought to start with Matthew, chapter seven, verse four. (now go look it up, you lazy sot.)

Yes, I have been stoned, many times. That is the number one reason I, as you say, become the "generalization gestapo." I dislike seeing people slandered, labeled, and the like. It's happened to me, and the very act disgusts me. Why? Because 9 out of 10 times, those who do the stone casting, know little or nothing concerning whom they cast their stones at. (Yes, I admit it, and cast myself in with that lot - the 9 of 10. I've done it before, and still do it, but at least I try. I want to not do it anymore, and so I try to be better.)

My apologies, I wasn't aware that they were spoken by Christ.

In reference to murderers: I don't like death, killing, or the like. Even if they are so called "justifiable killings," or punishments. To take a persons life, NO mattter what they did, is wrong - in my eyes. That's just it, no if's there.

Good choice with the verse btw.

How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?

Isn't that exactly what you're doing here, Lucas? Pointing out (the percieved) faults of others whom you disagree with? As a matter of fact, this is an ingrained habit of yours, particularly when it comes to policing 'generalizations.'

Hmm, good point.

You are correct, I am doing that very thing. I'm not sure why i do it, it just happens.

My apologies.

i have no idea what the idiot ratio is overall, but based on the following verbatim segment from another conversation, 3 americans who aren't lucas bailey just gotta free pass:

What did I miss? I figured you were either being: A) An ass , or Sarcastic.

But you don't keep to yourself, Lucas. You come in here and tell people they are wrong for their observations and opinions. For example, the author and other responders on the thread feel that anyone who favorably compares Bin Laden to Bush is a moron. Aren't we entitled to our opinions as well? Or are you willing to 'live and let live' only when others agree with you?

I never said they cannot have their opinions. I just (in my opinion) find them faulty, and silly.

And thats the problem right there. People in this world (islamists) want a world-wide islamic state, so will just let them have their way just so you won't "offend" them?

Realistically, it will never happen. So...why worry?

Realistically, it will never happen. So...why worry?

LOL.  This is so ridiculous. 

Why worry?  Because they will proceed to kill as many people as they can to obtain their goal, whether it's realistic or not.  This is the attitude of turning a blind eye to islamic terrorists that is dangerous.

 

Lucas needs to get his head out of his ass...er, I mean Klamath Falls.

Why?

Granted, I'd love to get out of podunkville. If i had enough money, I'd have been gone already... However, I don't, and with the fact that I'm getting my own place, and the like. It looks like it'll take even longer. Damn.

Peace, ~Lucas

i'm truly concerned about the consequences should he ingest all the metramucil he can get his hands on while playing 'purple people eater' over and over and over.

Dammit, that DID say mescaline, not metamucil. Umm, maybe I need to look up LW's guide to pooping at work again...

Nah, that's for lightweights. Try a little Purple Jesus with Deep Purple's "Speed King."

This is Lucas we're talking about, LW. Gotta start him out with training wheels.

And thanks for the recipe. I gotta find me some purple koolaid now.
