Actually, it’s consistently been you using words like “idiot” and others I won’t repeat here. I actually have a PhD in Electrical Engineering from one of the top engineering schools. I don’t really feel compelled to refute your poorly reasoned arguments on topics you really don’t understand. No, I am more than content to follow your posts and laigh at the rants, borderline fits of rage, and rampant unreasoned fanboy-ism you emit in a seemingly continual stream.
Have a nice day.
Score! Sword is a blowhard!
Your PhD in Electrical Engineering makes me respect you in Electrical Engineering. It does not make me respect your opinion on Law, Economics, or many other things. I do have many areas of expertise. I am also quite skilled in logic. . . and can reason quite well. I can hold my own against the likes of you. I use "idiot" against those who start using ad hominems against me. Argue politely with me, you will get politeness back. Use snide, snarky, left-handed derisive comments, denigrating me, you'll get the same back. You did that, instead of actually discussing the topic. Address the topic with facts, you'll get the respect you deserve. Don't just toss spit wads. Your last sentence says it all. You don't address anything factual. When I post something I am prepared to back it up with evidence. I don't see the same from you.
You prove my point when you post idiotic graphics like your insulting and juvenile little ad hominem certificate which does NOTHING to forward any discussion or add anything of value to FreeRepublic but stoke YOUR apparently self perceived inadequacies!
Your little innuendos are twaddle. Your attempts at denigrating me are ridiculous. . . your Apple Hate spills over into attacking people with whom you disagree, but who can prove you wrong with evidence. . . so you feel the need to denigrate them to make you feel better.
Do you feel better about yourself now having posted that? If so, good.
Because of a lifetime career doing many things, like many other business people with many business interests, I had a WALL of legitimate certificates, plaques, and awards for my lifetime of accomplishments from governmental bodies, organizations, and societies attesting to my service organizations, to my community, and my academic awards . . . quite a few of them personally awarded to me by people such as Governor and later President Ronald Reagan, other community dignitaries, mayors, County Supervisors, school administrators, Religious organizations, legislative proclamations (one from the California State Senate), a letter from the senior judge of my county's Superior Courts for serving as Foreman of our county's first Criminal Grand Jury in twenty-five years thanking me for my service—a position I held for a year, various honorary awards for founding a charity I ran for twenty-six years (over those years that charity helped over four million people and sixteen years after I stepped down is still going strong and growing), leading this or that charity drive, heading this or that community service committee, serving as president or other officer of this or that service organization, being on this or that organizing committee, raising and donating the funds to build this or that building, photos me with this or that prominent local, state, or national political figure, or a photo of me performing in Carnegie Hall with a Choral group where I was bass section leader (and President of the Board of Directors), etc., etc., etc.
I long ago put them in a trunk because they were just gathering dust and I decided I'd rather look at some excellent artwork than my ego inflaters.
I hired Electrical Engineers with PhDs and other degrees.
