Do we expect too much from human reason?

Then there are philosophers. A wordy lot. They write very pretty and all and even speller real good. They will render other philosophies as irrelevant to themselves. They do this for whatever personal emotional they need addressing. Witch in of itself is fine. The problem arise when these good spellering wordy lot enter the ring of science and engineering and push their slop off as more than a "personal feeling". again, both groups do it but theist are the worst hurling this book at us all the time.

Thoughtage point is that far right and far left have similar and predictable traits. This is a "truth" that really is empirical. We can argue it till we are blue in the face. The fact remains, list personality traits of people and we have not only an overlap but a large element of predictability. We don't have to like it. Some bitches are even afraid of it. It doesn't change the validity of the observation.

I think I understand your point. Whereas wordy people who spell properly are always expressing nothing more than what their emotionally damaged lives allow them to, people like yourself who revel in cryptic spelling and are almost incoherent always present the facts. That makes sense.[/sarcasm]

yeah sure whatever you say fat man. if my post was cryptic it may point to a lack of understanding on your part. address the points and not the person. And use the whole post. where is what I said wrong or in error?

I think comet is trying very hard to be thought part of the good spellering wordy lot but I can't tell.

the only thing that is being "sloppy" is you. You are assigning a value on the word based on your emotional debris. There are a limited number of personality types. Marketing and advertizing companies "stereotype" to hit a target audience. So your sloppiness is thinking that "stereotype[ping" is only bad. That half is thinking.

I didn't say it was "bad". I said it was sloppy -- and it is.

You don't have to like the word. that is not a requirement. But its meaning is valid.

It's not the word I dislike. It's having a stereotype being bandied about my friends and family that I dislike. When I don't like something, I pipe up. Don't like it? Tough shit.

And the fact remains: Stereo typical old people are not found in dance clubs down south street raving at 1am sat.

Nuance isn't your forte, I get it.

this fine and all. but heres the point:

that far right and far left have many similar and predictable traits. This is a empirical. We can argue it till we are blue in the face. The fact remains, list personality traits of people and we have not only an overlap but a large element of predictability. We don't have to like it. Some bitches are even afraid of it. It doesn't change the validity of the observation.

when yaz are done, address the point.

First of all, I'm not talking about far right or far left.

Second of all, calling folks "bitches" online is really tough. Mighty big set of balls you got there, kid. I'm impressed!

You are stuck with emotional debris. That's on you. My point is:

Marketing is based on stereotyping people. You can ignore the facts, but like kid rock said " ...are you scared ..." tough shit.

stole this from CD. It would behoove you to think on it.

"... conclusions arising from an assessment of the evidence at hand are often frightening. Often, a person prefers to reject that which scares them, and embrace that which makes them feel good - evidence be damned..." You are proof of what thoughtage means.

at this site? really? "bitches"? you are crying foul about a word. I mean I ok if you would have protested a generalization? but the "bitch"? I didn't call you one. I called many philosophers bitches in general. I didn't call anybody here a bitch. But either way I am shocked at this site that a word like bitch would get any reaction.

Hmm ... wonder what that means in termz of the OP point?

In other words don't respond in kind? You're saying I shouldn't attack the one calling me names. Got it.

Anyway I might address a point if I could find any you've made. I'm not calling you stupid or a bad speller or ignorant - although you may be all those things too. I just don't know. Likewise I haven't got a clue what point you think you've made. You seem unable to make one clear point without simultaneously slipping in a half dozen seemingly unrelated asides.

Before you get the virtual ass-raping that you deserve for the total lack of quality of your posts, I have to ask you: are you a teenager? I mean, who goes around calling people bitches or talking about "termz"? I can only imagine that if you wrote this stuff by hand, you'd have the letters "R" backwards too?

[Thumpalumpacus]

Comet, you clearly don't get my point, nor do you understand that I'm not complaining about your name-calling, but rather, I'm mocking it. I've been called worse by better folks than you, and in person, thanks.

Or should I write "kthxbai"?
