Desiree Moonwinder Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I have my opinions on the election, but why are we discussing it on the forum? I seems totally off topic relative to SL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very confused by your need to be aggressively pedantic. Carry on. Probably because I've done neither. I was making a point that you apparently don't get. Now that you've made a personal attack on me, I'm dropping it. It's not worth being insulted over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think I do not know the difference between stupid and ignorant? Hm? What have I said that would indicate I don't? That I said it was both stupid and ignorant? It is both. That I didn't stand up and applaud your original correction as incredible insight? Back off. Consider it done. Permanently. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The source of an article should always be considered. This is why political discussions are banned. Actually, he relies primarily on facts, and he usually provides the sources to, you know, credible research. For instance, AOC: "ZOMG, TRUMP IS PUTTING CHILDREN IN CAGES AND MAKING THEM DRINK FROM TOILETS!!!" (holds up picture of kids in cage) Shapiro: "Actually, that picture is from 2015, when Obama was putting kids in "cages". Here's a link. Why didn't you and the media go ballistic about it back then? Oh, and they are not drinking from toilets. The water fountain is on top of the commode in an all-in-one unit, which saves plumbing." Rachel Maddow: "Wow, that just happened, Shapiro is such a misogynistic racist". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in my ETA to the comment: You have been coming at me, for some unknown reason, because you think I don't "get" the difference between stupid and ignorant. I have given no indication that I do not, and you are being insulting to my intelligence. These lectures are out of the blue, and also rather strange since I specifically addressed just those differences in a short conversation with Beth, in this very thread. Details. I will pit my understanding, vocabulary and IQ against anyone in this Forum. Don't let the usual lighthearted quipping fool you otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He routinely has people from the other side of the aisle on his show to debate, and they do so civilly and rationally. Guy, I didn’t ignore a thing. Why would a US congresswoman “debate” anyone outside of the house floor? When do members of Congress ever debate people? He also routinely gets “shredded”. my favorite is where he turned into a big baby on BBC news calling Andrew Neil a leftist. Ummm Andrew Neil is definitely a conservative. He’s got a lot of greatest hits of getting “shredded” himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Ted Cruz, a Senator (a much more prestigious offer than Representative) offered to debate Alyssa Milano, so maybe it's just AOC after all? Oh, and you may want to watch the clip again. He didn't call Neil a "leftist", he questioned whether he was an objective journalist or an opinion journalist. And, he admitted he got "destroyed" because he wasn't prepared. And he apologized. Curious, would it be OK for me to start a post to you with "Girl" or "Lady" or some such? Asking for a friend, because he thinks it would be denounced as sexist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than to say the above, you'll get no further dispute from me. Whatever, dude. At least you didn't mansplain the difference between twice and several, so again, thank you? Didn't you say above that you were going to back off, permanently? Like that was some kind of threat? It isn't a threat. I really don't care. Mute me, along with apparently Beth. Some people, apparently you are in that group, cannot admit to being wrong, even when it is right in front of you. I have explained exactly what was mansplaining, aggressive and pedantic. You have not addressed any of that, other to say you were making a point that apparently I did not get. (Which just solidifies what I was saying.) I'm not implying anything; you called me out, with quotes, specifically targeting me. So is this the actual no further dispute from you? Because it wasn't the previous flounce that you were permanently backing off. Or maybe it will be like the several other threads where I've read how you are LEAVING, the thread, the Forum, the world? And so everyone comes in and says, "Noooo! Don't go!" Yeah, no. Do whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyeye Afterthought Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 24 hours since I put my cross in a box and the sky hasn't fallen in, even got money out the hole in the wall. I didn't vote for Boris. I didn't not vote for Boris. I voted for a local gal who done good in my locality. It'll all work out in the end no doubt, and the price of beer will go up next budget day.

Only relevance is one must have 500 posts to have a custom signature label. It is mind numbingly boring, but those are the rules.
