Actually I would like to apologize for making fun of something that appears to be a birth defect; that is a biological disorder that sends the wrong output to the wrong extremities. How else could you explain incessant crapping out of the mouth..
So here I am formally apologizing to the people who always ridicule others by blaming it on an urge that indeed is very hard to quell. Now if this disorder was to direct all rectal traffic over to the mouth; you'd get the constant ridicule that seems to symbolize some of these posters

Well then there now, I refuse to be selfish, lest you suffer endless
hunger pangs for want of proper nourishment. Hence, I hereby
accommodate your dire need to assimilate extremity output
accordingly: EACH IT !!! ;-))

This guy was a non English speaker; who was ridiculing others for being incapable of writing even a simple sentence, such as " I am a college graduate?; when he was rather inept in the use of English himself by being oblivious to the word ? collage? and the possible wrongful connotations that could arise from the misspelled word ?gradiate?, if it were to be mistaken for having been derived from Latin ? gradi? which means to walk.

You are simply incorrect. He was not, and is not a non-English speaker. (Unless you count that part before the age of 2 as being non-English speaking.)

But I don?t like people ridiculing others, when they are stunted themselves. There are some retards, who can?t tell the difference between the different parts of anatomy and end up using body parts meant for crapping to talk with; while they end up crapping through their mouths.

Excuse me? Did you just call everyone on this thread retarded? Or maybe you only called me and Professional Engineer retarded? It is also my perception that you have insulted everyone posting to this thread in saying "they end up crapping through their mouths." Either way, you are out of line.

That apology is no apology. It is laced with insult, and reeks of arrogance. Ironically, it is exactly what the original article discussed. Whatever your intent, it appears that you suffer from the same birth defect that you claim everyone else has.

This is the only semi-intelligent thing you've uttered yet. Albeit completely by accident.

English is not my native tongue. The answer to just what tongue is will be an exercise for the student. Unless of course, the exertion will leave the student bewildered, befuddled, or completely flummoxed.

A final comment. When you arrive at work tomorrow, please remember this. Yes, I would like fries with my burger.

Msdrby: Well see he has himself acknowledged that he is a non native English speaker; yet he was trying to make fun of others with something he didn't quite understand himself.

I will apologize to all, but not to people who ridicule others; because they need to get a taste of it themselves to be more considerate towards others in future discourses and realize that their presumed superiority is actually mediocrity and their inability to see the entire spectrum of possible explainations.

Engineer and geekdejure: Your intellectual faculties are no more complex than a house fly's digestive system.

You take stuff; decay it with your spin, and then regurgitate it back.

Your logical algorithm seems to be that of spiral regurgitation.

You take stuff; spin and rot it; and then regurgitate it back.

The input seems to go around in a spiral, decay along the way but never quite completely decompose, keep on changing its size and then come out the same way. It seems that with such a process; your mind could only soil things, distort their size; but never quite process them into individual constituents to understand them.

Your processing power seems to be no better than Stone Age man; because you still seem to struggle to understand the world around, and more often than not end up distorting things that are too complex for your feeble mind.

You should go over to the religion threads. You might actually make a valid point over there.

You do not know what you are saying or to whom you speak. You think you know, which is much worse. I pity you; I do not mock you.
