It could be that you simply dash off a reply whilst drunk or otherwise temporarily impaired.
AA, I do hate to see you in such despair of not really knowing or being wrong. I know words would not soothe your soul or bring you comfort. So there is nothing more I can do for you.

(February 28, 2012 at 10:03 am)Aardverk Wrote: No, I'm not back-peddling renew, simply dealing with your ignorance. People did not generally know what effect it had upon judgement. For example, it is not many years since it was perfectly normal, the social convention even, to offer visiting car drivers 'one for the road' before they left. Whilst the good effects of alcohol have indeed been long know, the negative effects were less widely recognised.
LOL, AA OK. It's all yours, do what you will with it. I will say the goverment is making good money off these negative effects.

I generously called it your 'vivid imagination' but in reality it is just your ignorance being exposed. The sad thing is, you probably have no idea just how unpleasant some of your ideas make you appear. Try talking to friends about your bigotry, if you have any friends.
AA, seriously, I swear you would pull my hair if you had the chance. When one acts as you do I cannot help but be kind, due to I know that it is you self expressing and trying to heal by placing your shortcomings on another. I can say though it is an unhealthy practice.
(February 28, 2012 at 10:03 am)Aardverk Wrote: Yet another example of you failing to understand what has been written. I have given no opinions on 'the matter' renew and neither have you.
Your right AA, I do fail miserably when it comes to understanding what you write and I am just fine with that.

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" (Evelyn Beatrice Hall). Just because you are a bigot, that does not mean that other people are and think like you. My bet is that the vast majority of people on this forum stand up firmly for free speech and would entirely agree with my statement and Evelyn's statement (often mis-attributed to Voltaire).
Okay, then the next time your big brave oaf stands up and talks I expect you to be there beside him telling everyone "I disapprove of what he says, but I am standing here beside him and will defend him to the death'. Dress nice for the occasion.

Since you are quite sure that correction is needed, then perhaps you can use it as a challenge of some sort, a puzzle perhaps.

I am surprised that it took you this long to figure out the sarcasam in my post.
Are we done yet?
and AA...using your post as practice really helped in mastering the quote and edit features. Thank you.
